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

Lin Zhi gazed into Li Tingze's eyes.

She saw a sincerity in his eyes unlike anything she had seen before.

Perhaps she should choose to believe him this once?

Give each other another chance?

Li Tingze seemed to sense her concerns, and hugged her tighter again, saying in a low voice, "Su Nianqing's liver transplant surgery is complete, and I will leave the follow-up recovery period to my assistant. I won't see anyone you don't want me to see. I will also take care of my mother's situation and won't cause any trouble for you or your mother."

The look in his eyes when he spoke was so sincere.

This made Lin Zhi, who was already in a state of confusion, even more confused.

Lin Wanxin's expectant gaze flashed through her mind.

This rendered Lin Zhi's mind unable to think.

She gazed at him intently, and after a long while, she softened and said, "The love I had for you is gone forever. Now, I love myself more. I can't guarantee that I can treat you with the same wholehearted devotion as before, nor can I guarantee that I can maintain a good attitude towards the women around you. So, you don't care?"

She is no longer the same person she used to be.

She could guess that Li Tingze still wanted the same her from back then.

Li Tingze lowered his head and captured her lips, kissing her forcefully.

They kissed for a very long time, until Lin Zhi felt like she couldn't breathe, then he touched the tip of his nose to hers and chuckled, "You are even more captivating to me now."

This was the first time in their five years of marriage that Li Tingze had spoken sweet words to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi stared at him blankly, still unable to accept it, feeling as if everything that was happening now was a dream.

When the dream ends, everything will revert to its original cruelty.

Li Tingze also didn't sleep a wink last night. After the two returned to the villa, they turned off their phones, hugged each other tightly, and slept soundly.

When I woke up again, it was already night.

The servants were unsure of their wake-up time, so they did not prepare meals.

Lin Zhi woke up slowly, her eyes looking at the spot beside her, where Li Tingze's warmth still lingered, but he was nowhere to be seen in the bedroom.

She put on her coat and went downstairs.

A tall, slender figure stood in the kitchen, looking at his phone while operating the stove with an extremely serious expression, clearly intending to prepare a delicious meal.

A fragrant aroma wafted over, and Lin Zhi's stomach began to rumble.

Li Tingze had already noticed her coming downstairs. After finishing the last dish, he smiled at her and said, "What are you standing there for? Come and eat."

Lin Zhi walked to the dining table, looked at the dishes that didn't look very appetizing, and said with a mix of laughter and tears, "Did you make all of these yourself?"

"Sit down and have a taste."

Li Tingze served her a bowl of matsutake mushroom soup, took a spoonful, blew on it carefully, and fed it to her lips.

He performed these actions so naturally.

Lin Zhi was inexplicably surprised.

He had never been so gentle and considerate towards her before, and when he actually did it, she felt it was unreal.

She opened her mouth blankly and drank the matsutake soup he fed her.

But she couldn't taste what the soup tasted like.

Her mind was filled with images of him blowing on the soup to heat it up and carefully serving her the soup.

Lin Zhi was extremely flustered, knowing that she was about to fall into the abyss of loving him again.

Isn't everything that's happened these past few days the favoritism she once longed for?

Why did she feel panicked when it actually happened?

That night, she ate a meal cooked by Li Tingze himself. Although she couldn't taste the flavor of the food, Li Tingze made her feel the ultimate tenderness.

When the two reached the peak of pleasure at the same time, Lin Zhi did not hear clearly what Li Tingze said in her ear.

It's like saying he loves her, but it's also like saying he wants her.

It didn't end until late at night, and she didn't have the energy to think about it anymore, so she fell into a deep sleep.

……

In the following period, Li Tingze stayed at home except when he went to the Li Group to handle necessary matters.

He would either pull Lin Zhi into intimate acts on the bed or hold her in his arms while handling official business in the study.

His temperament changed drastically, and he became incredibly gentle.

He kept Lin Zhi under his control at all times, keeping her by his side, kissing her whenever he wanted, and taking her whenever he desired her.

They lived like they were living in a honey pot.

Lin Zhi's mindset also changed from disbelief at the beginning to acceptance later on.

Even when she took the time to visit Lin Wanxin, Lin Wanxin said that her complexion was not good, guessing that she and Li Tingze must be doing quite well.

She even took it upon herself to prepare a nourishing soup and told her to heat it up for Li Tingze when she got home.

Li Tingze naturally wouldn't refuse. After finishing the soup, he took advantage of Lin Wanxin's purpose in bringing it and tormented her for another night.

When you're in a good mood, good luck naturally follows.

The jewelry variety show recorded by Lin Zhi was well received by many fans as soon as the pilot episode aired. Those fans who were originally shipping Li Tingze and Su Nianqing switched to Lin Zhi's camp overnight, and stood up to publicly attack Su Nianqing's social media accounts, exposing her ugly purpose of wanting to become a mistress to climb the social ladder.

Su Nianqing's reputation was overturned overnight, turning her into a notorious figure, so naturally she couldn't swallow this insult.

Su's mother immediately called Li Tingze, wanting to "seek justice" for her daughter, but she couldn't get through no matter how many times she called.

Su's mother slammed her phone to the ground and roared angrily, "He has clearly blocked all our contact information!"

Su Nianqing panicked. She thought she could become famous through a jewelry variety show, but instead she became a pariah. When the whole world was moved by her love with Li Tingze, she really thought she would soon become the new Mrs. Li.

Unexpectedly, Li Tingze not only did not divorce Lin Zhi, but their relationship even became closer.

In her panic, she quickly dialed Song Ya's number.

After Song Ya answered the call, she didn't give her a chance to speak and sternly warned her not to contact her again.

Regardless, Song Ya and Li Tingze are the biological mother and son, and it's impossible for them to sever their parent-child relationship for the sake of an outsider like Su Nianqing.

The moment the call ended, Su Nianqing collapsed to the ground, completely limp.

Like a beautiful dream, shattered in an instant.

Unwilling to give up, Su's mother helped Su Nianqing back to the sofa and sat her down, having made a new plan in mind.

She thought that since the change had happened to Lin Zhi, they should go find Lin Zhi.

As it happened, Li Tingze was out on business.

When Su Nianqing and her mother found the villa, Lin Zhi was picking flowers in the small garden.

She showed no surprise when the maid announced it.

They didn't even change their clothes, nor did they offer any special hospitality. While continuing to pick flowers, they received the uninvited Su mother and daughter.

This was Su Nianqing's first time visiting Li Tingze and Lin Zhi's marital home.

She had thought it was just a simple villa.

Unexpectedly, the villa was very large, with a small garden full of flowers and even a tranquil lake in the back.

This luxurious residence should have belonged to her.

But Lin Zhi forcibly took away five years of her life.

She is not reconciled!

She wants Lin Zhi to return everything here.

Lin Zhi saw the ambition on Su Nianqing's face and said calmly, "Miss Su, you chose to come see me because you couldn't contact Tingze, right? It's just a pity that you came at a very inopportune time; he's not home. And I won't call him back for you."

Su Nianqing's face immediately darkened.

But he had to force a smile and say provocatively, "Then I'll stay here and wait for Aze to come back."
