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

Chapter 68 Temporary forbearance does not mean he doesn't love her.

Lin Zhi didn't let negative emotions occupy her heart for too long.

After washing up, she went to the study to pack the first drafts she had painstakingly drawn over the past few days into a bag. Without even having breakfast, she headed to Shen's Jewelry.

Ever since Li Tingze made a public appearance in the office, the way the employees look at her has changed.

She knew in her heart that this change stemmed from her status as Mrs. Li.

Shen Mubai arrived at her office, looked at the first draft she brought, and his face showed an indescribable surprise.

She asked with concern, "Sister Zhi'er, wasn't your hand injured? How come it's still like this...?"

Lin Zhi nodded slightly. Her hands could not draw sketches as quickly as before, but it was not so bad that her hands were broken. If she drew slowly and spent more time on it, she could still draw a first draft.

She knew that overworking would affect her opponent's recovery, but rather than waiting to die, she decided to get moving.

She didn't want to discuss the matter of her hands anymore.

So, she smiled slightly and said, "Take a look and give me some feedback. I'll go back and revise it slowly. I think I can make it in time for the international competition submission deadline."

Shen Mubai examined it carefully.

Although there were only three initial drafts, the design concept was brilliant.

He exclaimed in admiration, "Sister Zhi'er, to be honest, I never imagined you could produce the first draft on time, and that it would be so exquisite. I personally think there's nothing that needs to be revised; your design is already perfect."

Lin Zhi felt something was missing, but after hearing what Shen Mubai said, she didn't say anything more.

Shen Mubai was still quite worried and asked, "How have you been lately?"

"That's good." Lin Zhi smiled faintly. "I want to focus on my career right now. My marriage is not going well, so I have to work hard in my career. After all, everything that I earn through hard work will not harm me."

Shen Mubai knew that this was not Lin Zhi's true feeling.

He could tell that Lin Zhi still had some feelings for Li Tingze.

After all, we've loved each other for so many years; it's not something you can just let go of completely.

He put Lin Zhi's sketches back into the bag and said softly, "Although I can't help you with your love life, I will definitely support you in your career and help you reach the top tier of the domestic design industry as soon as possible."

"I will fully cooperate with you as long as you want to. You don't need to feel guilty. I'm doing this not only for you, but also for the Shen family. If you become famous, the Shen family will naturally benefit as well."

Lin Zhi's throat tightened.

She looked at Shen Mubai with teary eyes, her emotions very complicated.

She knew Shen Mubai's feelings for her, and she could also see that in order not to burden her, Shen Mubai chose to take a step back, keep his distance, and be a good working partner with her.

He didn't want their relationship to sour, and neither did she.

Seeing Lin Zhi's unnatural expression, Shen Mubai smiled slightly at her: "My grandma hasn't been feeling well these past two days and has been hospitalized. She's probably had some free time, so she keeps talking about you. If you have some free time, could you come to the hospital with me and keep her company for a while?"

Lin Zhi naturally wouldn't refuse.

If it weren't for Grandma Shen giving her such a precious opportunity, she would have had a hard time making a name for herself in such a short time.

The two went to the hospital together.

When Grandma Shen saw Lin Zhi, her face was full of smiles.

Holding Lin Zhi's hand, he showered her with compliments, making Lin Zhi blush with embarrassment.

Shen Mubai stood to the side, peeling fruit for them while smiling at them.

The atmosphere in the ward was harmonious and warm.

Joyful laughter continued unabated.

They were having such a good time chatting that Grandma Shen didn't want Lin Zhi to leave and wished she would stay and keep her company.

However, after receiving a warning look from Shen Mubai, she had no choice but to reluctantly let Lin Zhi go.

Shen Mubai personally escorted Lin Zhi out of the ward and said softly, "I'm so sorry, my grandma likes you so much. She keeps talking about you as soon as she sees you, which has caused you trouble."

Lin Zhi gave a faint smile.

She looked up at Shen Mubai and replied softly, "You're welcome. I like Grandma Shen very much too. I don't feel bothered at all. On the contrary, I feel much more relaxed after talking with Grandma Shen. I will come to see Grandma Shen again when I have time next time."

Shen Mubai gave a grateful, bright smile.

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of smiles.

From a distance, the scene is incredibly beautiful.

This scene was also witnessed by Li Tingze, who was standing not far away.

He was in a meeting at the company when he received a call from his driver informing him that Lin Zhi and Shen Mubai had come to the hospital together. Without asking any questions, he rushed over immediately.

He initially thought there was something wrong with Lin Zhi's hand, but when he saw her come out of Grandma Shen's ward and exchange a smiling look with Shen Mubai, his heart ached.

To be honest, seeing Lin Zhi give Shen Mubai such a genuine and radiant smile made him very unwilling.

Why is it that she can always smile so happily when she's with Shen Mubai?

But I haven't smiled at him in a long time.

Li Tingze's hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into fists. He bit his chin, his rationality vanished, and he rushed forward, forcefully grabbing Lin Zhi's slender wrist and pulling her into his chest.

When Lin Zhi realized that the person who had pulled her was Li Tingze, the smile on her face vanished instantly.

She asked in an extremely cold tone, "What are you doing here?"

If I remember correctly, he should be at the company holding a multinational conference right now. This multinational project is extremely important to the Li family, and he shouldn't be here at this moment.

That's why she asked that question.

Li Tingze pressed his lips to her ear, deliberately making intimate gestures, and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Why can't I be here? Or is it that you don't want me here?"

Lin Zhi didn't have time to play word games with him.

No response.

Shen Mubai extended his hand and said politely, "President Li, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Li Tingze didn't shake his hand in return, but instead gave him a cold glance before saying coldly, "President Shen, do employees of your company need to work at a hospital? Your company's corporate culture is truly unique."

The sarcasm in their words didn't need to be explicitly stated; both of them understood it perfectly.

Lin Zhi sighed helplessly, not wanting Shen Mubai to be subjected to Li Tingze's harsh verbal attacks, so she smiled slightly and said, "President Shen, I'll contact you again after I've revised the first draft."

Shen Mubai understood Lin Zhi's good intentions and smiled as he bid her farewell.

He stood there watching Li Tingze domineeringly lead Lin Zhi away, feeling a deep sense of unease.

He secretly vowed to himself that he would become strong enough to free Lin Zhi from Li Tingze's control and give her a happy and free life.

His current temporary forbearance does not mean he doesn't love her.

One day, he will personally grant Lin Zhi her freedom!
