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

Lin Zhi didn't want to complicate her current life.

Li Tingze booked a restaurant to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary, and whatever his purpose was, she had no reason to refuse.

After all, it's quite rare for someone as high and mighty as him to remember such a day.

She nodded slightly and murmured softly, "Okay."

His long, slender hand toyed with her loose hair. With his eyes closed, he said in a languid voice, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

Lin Zhi admitted that she was still somewhat looking forward to seeing how he would celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary.

Is it just a simple dinner, or will I prepare a surprise for her?

She kept these thoughts deep in her heart, not daring to reveal them at all.

She can no longer afford to love him.

I dare not be tempted again.

Lin Zhi's silence allowed Li Tingze to see through her inner thoughts.

Li Tingze grabbed her hand and deliberately stroked his own body. Even though she struggled at first, he refused to let go even a little, guiding her in a semi-forceful manner.

When the passion reached its peak, instead of barging in, he unusually whispered in her ear, "Your body really likes me; it goes soft at the slightest touch. The way you silently endure it makes it hard for me not to think that you enjoy being intimate with me. Am I right?"

They had been married for many years, and he always treated her rudely.

Never before have I watched her so intently, observing her reactions and focusing on her like this.

For a moment, Lin Zhi almost mistakenly believed that he cared about her and that he loved her.

She quickly dismissed these thoughts one by one.

Five years have passed. If he had truly been attracted to her, why would he have waited until now?

That night, Li Tingze gave her the most tenderness she had never experienced in the past few years.

That night, she also experienced unprecedented respect and joy.

Afterwards, the two hugged each other tightly and never separated for a moment.

The next morning.

Lin Zhi didn't get up early, leaving Li Tingze feeling cold. Instead, she nestled in his arms and slept soundly.

Li Tingze slowly opened his eyes and stared at her sleeping face.

This was the first time he had looked at her so intently.

For the first time, he felt that all he had done for her was simply so that she could stay by his side, take care of his life as meticulously as before, and be there for him whenever he needed her.

Why is it that everything that originally belonged to him is now so hard to come by?

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cool eyes slowly opened. When she realized that she and Li Tingze were intimately embracing, she instinctively struggled.

A cold voice suddenly rang out: "You've been hugging all night, and now you're only thinking of backing out? Don't you think that's pointless?"

"I……"

Lin Zhi blushed slightly, then pushed his arm away and quickly stood up.

She went straight to wash up and prepared everything Li Tingze needed for work. Her methodical manner improved Li Tingze's mood considerably.

He watched her busy figure quietly and chuckled softly, "I canceled all my appointments for today."

Lin Zhi stopped what she was doing and looked at Li Tingze in astonishment, her face full of confusion.

Li Tingze asked again, "Aren't you going to ask why?"

Lin Zhi dared not ask, for she dared not presume to think that he had canceled all his schedules just to spend time with her.

It was as if he could see right through her thoughts.

He chuckled softly, "My whole day is yours. If you don't have anything in particular you want to do, you can come with me to the horse farm to relax."

Lin Zhi nodded gently: "Okay, whatever you say."

Li Tingze was in a good mood and eventually put on the clothes she had chosen.

During breakfast, Li Tingze even surprisingly served her food himself, which surprised even the maids nearby.

If something is unusual, it's likely a coincidence.

Such a series of unusual occurrences must indicate ulterior motives.

As Lin Zhi was lost in thought, Li Tingze suddenly leaned close to her, gently wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth, and even put it in his own mouth to suck it clean.

This scene stunned everyone present.

The sudden sweetness left Lin Zhi feeling bewildered.

It felt as if the breakfast I had just eaten was suddenly rising in my throat, making me want to vomit it all up.

Seeing the startled look on her face, Li Tingze's expression darkened. "What, you don't like it?"

Lin Zhi smiled faintly, which was her answer.

While riding horses, Li Tingze unusually insisted on riding the same horse as her. She was in front, and he was behind, his arms wrapped around her and holding the reins steadily. His back was pressed against her hot chest, making her even more uncomfortable.

Even though the two had been intimate before, Lin Zhi still couldn't quite process the romance and intimacy he had deliberately created.

The sweetness was too high all at once; she couldn't swallow it in one gulp and even felt choked.

Li Tingze was enjoying the quiet and intimacy of the moment. He felt Lin Zhi being held obediently in his arms, the two of them bouncing in sync, enjoying the same scenery, and breathing the same air. This was just fine.

As the horse approached a lush patch of grass, Li Tingze pushed off with his spurs, and the horse, which had been strolling slowly, suddenly bolted. Lin Zhi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she clung tightly to Li Tingze's chest, afraid that she might fall off the horse at any moment.

Li Tingze felt it wasn't exciting enough, so he kicked the horse again to speed it up.

During the ride, the jolts were intense, and the two of them were lifted into the air.

The next second, he detached himself from the horse.

In the instant she fell, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Zhi's mind, and she even prepared herself for the possibility of being injured or maimed.

However, the expected pain did not occur. Instead, he fell into a soft haystack, where she held him tightly in her arms. They rolled around in the haystack until they reached flat ground.

The emotional rollercoaster made Lin Zhi choke up instantly.

With red-rimmed eyes, she stared at Li Tingze and hissed, "Are you doing this on purpose to scare me to death?!"

“It was intentional, but it wasn’t serious enough to scare you to death.” Li Tingze gently stroked her cheek and chuckled, “Alright, don’t be angry. I was just joking with you. I didn’t expect you to be so timid. Didn’t you boast that you wanted to be one of the richest women in Beijing? How come you’re so upset about something like this?”

Lin Zhi trembled slightly, unable to stop herself from crying out, "Li Tingze!!!"

Li Tingze was quite pleased: "This is my horse ranch. There's no one else here besides us. Would you like to try something outdoors?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi was so frightened that she immediately scrambled up from the haystack.

He quickly ran three meters away, yelling at the top of his lungs, "You really are... a scoundrel!"

Just as she was about to walk away, her wrist was grabbed, and she fell into a warm embrace again.

This time, Li Tingze didn't make any physical contact; he simply held her quietly, and the two of them gazed at the beautiful scenery in the distance.

The comfort and complete relaxation of this moment lured Lin Zhi step by step into the gentle trap that Li Tingze had just woven.

For a fleeting moment, she wished time could stand still, preserving their intimacy.

She thought that they were now in a state of unprecedented harmony, both physically and mentally.

Perhaps he really cares about her and can't bear to part with her?
