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

Lin Zhi's hand had just touched the inner lock when Shen Mubai stopped her.

He looked at her tenderly and said softly, "Sister Zhi'er, you were just squatting at the entrance of the sanatorium. It must be related to President Li, right? If you don't want to see him, I can help you resolve it."

After saying that, he took out a small first-aid kit from the car and placed it beside Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi frowned, but before she could say what she wanted to say, Shen Mubai had already gotten out of the car.

At the same instant, the car locks came back on.

No matter how hard Li Tingze pulled on the doorknob from the outside, it was to no avail.

The two looked at each other through the glass window, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

A short while later, Shen Mubai called Li Tingze aside.

The car was well soundproofed, so Lin Zhi couldn't hear what they were saying. She could only sense that their expressions were not good, as if they were arguing about something.

After treating the wound, she rolled down the car window.

As the car window rolled down, Li Tingze's voice clearly reached her ears.

"Even if I don't love her, it's not your place to steal her away. Even if I get tired of her one day, I will never let her go to your side! Besides, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"Lin Zhi can only be my woman for the rest of her life. Even in death, she will be buried in the Li family cemetery with the title of Mrs. Li! Shen Mubai, you can forget about having her in this lifetime!"

"There is absolutely no possibility of me and her getting a divorce, and you have no chance of it either!"

These words were like countless cold daggers, piercing Lin Zhi's heart and causing blood to flow everywhere.

Her brain was buzzing uncontrollably.

His cold, harsh words kept playing on repeat: "He hasn't had enough fun yet."

These words completely shattered her last line of defense.

Recalling his tenderness from a few days ago, Lin Zhi smiled, but tears welled up in her eyes.

He must have had a lot of trouble pretending in order to keep her by his side, right?

He must have been very happy when he turned around and went on an intimate date with Su Nianqing.

She thought that after filing for divorce, she would be able to live a clear-headed and insightful life, and that she would have let go of everything.

Looking back now, it's both laughable and self-degrading.

"Sister Zhi'er, what's wrong with you...?"

Shen Mubai's concerned voice pulled her back from her self-reproach.

Lin Zhi looked up and saw Li Tingze's cold and slightly pale face.

The two looked at each other.

Li Tingze didn't know how long Lin Zhi had been listening or what she had heard, but from her indifferent face, he could tell that she had heard everything she needed to hear.

She stared at him with eyes that seemed to hold no hope, which filled him with dread.

He rushed to the car, grabbed Lin Zhi's hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Lin Zhi..."

Lin Zhi stared at him coldly, and with resolute movements, pried his hand off hers.

Tears streamed down her face, but she maintained a slight smile: "Li Tingze, your acting is so good, it's a real shame you're not a movie star. You must have had a hard time pretending the other day, but starting tonight, you don't have to keep up the act anymore. You're completely free."

"Your acting not only fooled me, but also those around me. You're truly all-around amazing. But what do you want to gain by doing this? You said that even if I die, I should be buried as Mrs. Li. You just can't stand seeing me live a good life, you wish I were dead, right?"

"If that's the case, why did you save me in the first place? You might as well have let me die in that car accident."

Lin Zhi slowly closed her eyes, her mind flashing back to all the good things he had done for her recently. When she learned that they were all just pretense, a heart-wrenching pain shot through her.

She almost thought that after experiencing so many things, he had finally seen his true feelings and really wanted to try to fall in love with her and have a home with her.

She always warned herself not to get too involved, but she couldn't help but gradually succumb to it.

Little did he know that in his eyes she was always a cheap woman he hadn't had enough of and could discard at any time.

Just like in the beginning, he believed that he could summon her at will and dismiss her at will.

Everything was because she gave him the opportunity to hurt her.

Li Tingze realized that Lin Zhi had misunderstood something, so he forcefully opened the car door and tried to hug her tightly.

Lin Zhi gripped the seatbelt tightly, using her hands and feet to fiercely resist him when he tried to force himself on her.

She screamed hysterically, "Li Tingze, don't touch me!"

Li Tingze was not about to grant her wish.

He had to carry her out of Shen Mubai's car. No matter how big the misunderstanding was, they had to go back to their own home and clear things up properly.

The two remained deadlocked for a long time, neither willing to give in.

Shen Mubai stood to the side, not stepping forward to do anything, but he couldn't bear to see Lin Zhi in any distress.

He finally walked to Li Tingze's side, grabbed his wrist, and said, "Mr. Li, Sister Zhi'er clearly doesn't want to see you. If you still have feelings for her, please let go and release her."

Li Tingze glared fiercely at Shen Mubai, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty murderous intent.

Lin Zhi sighed softly and was the first to give up struggling.

Before Li Tingze could make a move, she got out of the car first.

Her face was pale as she said to Shen Mubai, "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to have bothered you. Thank you for your kindness. But there are some things I still need to do..."

She glanced at Li Tingze and continued, "President Shen, you should go back now."

Shen Mubai looked at Lin Zhi with concern in his eyes, but said nothing more and silently drove away.

Li Tingze reached out to pull her, but she dodged him.

She kept walking towards the roadside.

Li Tingze followed behind her.

After a long while, they stopped on a bridge.

Lin Zhi leaned on the railing, looking at the shimmering water, and said in a cold and indifferent voice, "Li Tingze, if you don't want me to die, then I beg you, please let me go."

This time, she was truly heartbroken.

“You’ve misunderstood.” Li Tingze frowned and said, “Sometimes what people see in this world isn’t necessarily the truth. Su Nianqing and I don’t have the kind of relationship you’re thinking of. I’m with her tonight because I want to make real changes to our marriage. But you turn around and sit in Shen Mubai’s car. What is your attitude towards our marriage?”

Lin Zhi's lips trembled, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

He would always look for problems in her first.

I would never take the initiative to find out why the two of them ended up like this.

She gazed silently at the river for a long while before taking off her wedding ring from her ring finger and resolutely handing it to him.

Li Tingze never expected her to be so ruthless.

He didn't take the wedding ring, but instead gripped her shoulders tightly with both hands, asking in a hoarse voice, "Lin Zhi, does it really have to be this way?"

“It’s not that I insist on it, but…” Lin Zhi suddenly felt there was no need to continue arguing, and silently shook her head.

Not important anymore!

Nothing matters anymore.

She gave a bitter smile. "If you don't want the ring, and I don't need it either, then let's just forget about it."

Before Li Tingze could react to the meaning behind her words, he saw her raise her hand and throw the wedding ring into the river.

It only caused a slight ripple, which disappeared in an instant.

Just like their marriage...
