After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

Li Tingze's face darkened, wondering where Lin Zhi would go so late at night.

He took out his phone and dialed Lin Zhi's number.

But a busy signal came through, and this happened several times.

When I send a message, it shows that the recipient cannot receive it.

His face grew increasingly gloomy.

In the entire northern part of Beijing, the only place he could think of where Lin Zhi could go was the sanatorium where Lin Wanxin lived.

When he arrived at the sanatorium, Lin Wanxin was already lying down and asleep.

She was alone in the pitch-black room.

The caregiver said respectfully, "Mr. Li, your wife hasn't visited Ms. Lin since her last visit."

Li Tingze's eyes deepened.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "If she comes over, please contact me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Li." The caregiver replied and went back to her own business.

five minutes later.

The assistant called and hurriedly reported: "Mr. Li, the people we sent out checked all the surveillance footage in the area around the banquet venue and found that Madam got into Mr. Shen's car and headed north of Yantian."

Li Tingze clenched his fist tightly, with tremendous force, and the sound of his bones cracking could be heard.

The area north of Yantian is on the border of northern Beijing, a sparsely populated area surrounded by the sea.

Lin Zhi's maternal grandfather's grave is in the cemetery to the north.

She visits her grandfather's grave every year on the anniversary of his death.

He never accompanied her on that journey.

As the car reached the border, dark clouds obscured the bright moon, and a cool breeze rose, carrying the salty smell of the sea.

As Li Tingze got out of the car, the driver hurriedly handed him an umbrella, saying, "Mr. Li, I think it's going to rain heavily today, you should take this umbrella."

Li Tingze raised his head slightly, looking at the dark night sky, his heart inexplicably in turmoil.

He did not take the umbrella, but told the driver to get in the car and wait. Then he walked into the cemetery alone and headed up the mountain.

After walking for a few minutes, a torrential downpour began.

The rain quickly soaked his clothes.

Li Tingze didn't take it seriously and continued walking deeper into the mountain.

After walking for about half an hour, he saw two figures not far away.

Under the torrential rain, Shen Mubai held up a large black umbrella, which covered Lin Zhi's slender figure. To keep her dry, half of Shen Mubai's body was exposed to the rain and was already soaked.

A gust of wind blew by, making the umbrella sway.

You could vaguely see that she was crying.

And then, she leaned on Shen Mubai's shoulder and cried.

Li Tingze stopped in his tracks, standing there coldly staring at the two of them. His expression suddenly turned cold, and a dull, unpleasant feeling rose in his heart.

He did not step forward at all.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Zhi and Shen Mubai left side by side.

Lin Zhi then noticed Li Tingze standing in the rain, completely soaked.

She was surprised.

Feeling somewhat touched, I asked, "You... how did you end up here?"

Li Tingze walked up to Lin Zhi, pulled her to his side, and looked at Shen Mubai with a cold gaze.

He didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked her in a cold voice, "Why didn't you take the car I arranged?"

"I..." Lin Zhi was about to explain when Shen Mubai interrupted them.

Shen Mubai handed the umbrella to Lin Zhi and said softly, "Sister Zhi'er, since President Li has come to pick you up, I won't see you back. You can keep the umbrella; I'll be going now."

He left immediately after he finished speaking.

Lin Zhi looked at his figure walking in the rain and felt very guilty.

Li Tingze saw a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

This was the expression she used to have when she looked at him.

He felt very uncomfortable, and a surge of anger filled his chest. He gently pinched her chin with his long fingers and casually hooked her gaze back to him.

He suppressed his anger and asked gently, "Why did you bring him here?"

Lin Zhi's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she choked out, "Today is the anniversary of my grandfather's death, and I forgot such an important day. By the time I remembered, it was too late. I didn't want to bother anyone, so I originally planned to take a taxi here myself, but no one was willing to come here so late at night. I happened to run into President Shen, so we came together. If you even mind that I came to pay my respects to my grandfather, then I have nothing to say."

Li Tingze looked down at the teardrops clinging to her eyelashes.

The unhappiness in my heart intensified slightly.

If she couldn't wait for the car, she could have easily contacted him.

But she avoided him like the plague.

A mountain breeze blew by, and the coolness made Lin Zhi shiver slightly.

Li Tingze gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, his heart softening. He said softly, "Next time, I'll come with you to pay respects to Grandpa. It's so late, let's go back now."

His sudden tenderness felt utterly unreal to her.

This version of him was not the cold and heartless man she knew.

She dared not harbor any unrealistic fantasies about him.

In the banquet hall, as she harbored fantasies, reality slapped her hard in the face.

She said nothing.

She let him carry her down the mountain.

Return to the villa.

Seeing that the two were soaking wet, the maid quickly went to cook some cola ginger.

After drinking, Lin Zhi went to wash up. She lay down and fell into a deep sleep before Li Tingze could even get up.

I slept until the early hours of the morning.

Lin Zhi felt something scalding hot pressed against her, like a giant furnace, making her feel uncomfortable.

She slowly woke up, and just as she raised her hand to push away the stove, she heard Li Tingze's murmurs in her ear, which sounded like he was in great pain.

She hurriedly got up and touched Li Tingze's forehead; it was burning hot.

Li Tingze, in a daze, gripped her slender wrist, mumbling incoherently. No matter how she tried to persuade him, he wouldn't let go.

Left with no other choice, she had to bite him.

I took the opportunity to slip away and found some fever reducers to give him.

After taking the fever reducer, Li Tingze became much more obedient and held her as they slept through the night.

I woke up at noon, but the familiar warmth beside me was gone.

Li Tingze sat up, his body aching, and looked around, but he didn't see Lin Zhi.

In the past, no matter how late he slept, she would get up with him.

Now, she's becoming increasingly indifferent to him.

His head hurt even more.

Lin Zhi pushed open the door and entered, carrying a bowl of white porridge and medicine.

Just like before, she personally fed him porridge, gave him medicine, and changed his sweat-soaked clothes.

After finishing everything, she prepared to leave.

Li Tingze reached out and pulled her into his arms, his voice hoarse as he said, "Lie down with me and rest together."

Lin Zhi had arranged to audition with the production team today.

We can't let this hard-won opportunity slip away.

She thought for a moment, kissed his cheek, and said softly, "Can we do it later? I have something to do now and can't turn it down."

Li Tingze's expression instantly turned sour.

Lin Zhi knew he was very dissatisfied.

She also knew that angering him might mean she wouldn't even be able to step out of her room.

next second.

A cold voice rang in her ears.

He asked, "The person you invited, is it Shen Mubai?"
