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

Inside the luxury car.

Lin Zhi sat quietly, gazing out the window, without saying a word.

From Li Tingze's perspective, she looked more like someone reluctantly looking at someone somewhere in the hospital.

A strange anger suddenly welled up inside me.

His long, slender hands gripped her waist tightly, pulling her into his arms. He asked in an annoyed tone, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Zhi withdrew her gaze, looked at him, and chuckled softly, "Li Tingze, you really should take a good look at your own expression in the mirror."

What other expression could I possibly have?

"The husband's angry expression after failing to catch his wife cheating!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tingze's expression turned cold.

He increased the pressure, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Lin Zhi's eyes, without saying a word.

In the past, Lin Zhi would have been too terrified to move by his cold and stern demeanor, but now she just found it amusing.

He had never loved her.

But he insisted on putting on an act of deep affection, as if he couldn't live without her.

There are no audience members here, so who is he trying to perform for?

Her?

is this necessary?

Li Tingze gently pinched her chin, gave her a light peck, and asked coldly, "So, according to what you're saying, you admit to having an ambiguous relationship with Shen Mubai?"

The atmosphere inside the car instantly turned cold.

This was the first time in their five years of marriage that Lin Zhi had heard Li Tingze ask a question that sounded like he was jealous.

But it's too late.

She didn't feel secretly pleased by this jealousy.

I just think he's being possessive.

He just hasn't had enough fun yet!

Lin Zhi smiled faintly, but said nothing more.

Such indifference only fueled the fire deep within Li Tingze's heart.

He lowered his head and captured Lin Zhi's lips, kissing her forcefully.

Every movement she made was extremely forceful, as if she wanted to vent all the fire in her heart onto her body.

Even while kissing, he could automatically replay in his mind the radiant smile Lin Zhi had given Shen Mubai.

The more unwilling he was to accept it, the rougher and more forceful his actions became towards her.

Lin Zhi begged for mercy in pain, but to no avail.

Realizing he had lost his mind and was trying to make love to her in a crowded place, she hurriedly raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face...

With a snap, everything inside the car was put on pause.

Lin Zhi glared at him angrily, her emotions finally erupting: "Li Tingze, how many times do I have to tell you before you believe me? Shen Mubai and I really have nothing going on. Although he once said something that sounded like a confession to me, I clearly rejected him at the time. He's a sensible person, and since then, he's only dealt with me as a business partner. Grandma Shen is sick and hospitalized, and as a junior, it's not unreasonable for me to visit her in the hospital, is it?"

She didn't need to explain these things to him.

However, in order to prevent Li Tingze from making things difficult for Shen Mubai, she had no choice but to tell him the truth.

Li Tingze didn't let go immediately, but stared intently into her eyes. He didn't see the answer he wanted in her eyes, so he finally let go. But the next second, he buried his head in her shoulder and neck and said in a very low voice, "Promise me, no matter what, you must never fall in love with him!"

She could not love him, but she could never love any man other than him.

She belongs to him for the rest of her life!

He was absolutely confident that he could make her fall deeply in love with him again.

Lin Zhi stared at him in disbelief, wanting to say something but not knowing how to begin.

She just laughed coldly.

She laughed at herself for the 'his care' she once wanted but could never have, and now that she finally had it, yet...

It has become unimportant; I feel nothing for it anymore.

This must be what it feels like to be heartbroken.

Lin Zhi raised her hand and pushed away Li Tingze, who was trying to get close to her again, and said coldly, "I don't love anyone, I only love myself."

After saying that, she ordered the driver to unlock the car, got out, and left without looking back.

Li Tingze sat in his seat, watching her receding figure, biting his chin and clenching his fist.

He didn't chase after her because he could tell Lin Zhi was in a bad mood.

He thought she probably didn't want to see him again.

Over the past five years, he had done so many terrible things to her, and now he couldn't bear to do anything to hurt her anymore.

There's plenty of time in the future; he can personally repair and mend the heart that was hurt by him.

He was about to go back to the villa to wait for her when his phone rang.

The assistant called to say that Su Nianqing couldn't reach him, and that President Huo was deliberately making things difficult for her, so she immediately started acting crazy and demanding to see him.

Li Tingze replied coldly, his face full of impatience, "No matter what reason you use, get rid of her. From now on, you don't need to report to me about anything related to her. You handle it yourself, and if you can't, just leave it alone."

He looked up and saw Su Nianqing standing outside the car.

Her small face was extremely pale, and her huge eyes were wide open as she stared intently into the car.

Li Tingze frowned.

He hadn't expected Su Nianqing to be so skilled, able to pinpoint his exact location.

He initially wanted to ask the driver to leave, but after thinking about it, he rolled down the window instead.

Su Nianqing immediately broke into a bright smile when she saw him.

She called out in a coquettish voice, "Aze, you've finally agreed to see me."

As she spoke, she eagerly opened the car door and sat next to Li Tingze, looking at him with teary eyes and saying pitifully, "When President Huo found out that you weren't there in person, he refused to see me again, or he sent his men to deliberately mess with me. He just wouldn't sign me no matter what. Aze, I beg you, please help me one more time, okay? As long as President Huo is willing to sign me, I promise I will never appear in front of you again."

Su Nianqing desperately wanted to achieve instant success.

That's why she disregarded the objections of those around her and secretly came to see Li Tingze.

She couldn't wait any longer.

If she can't become famous soon, her life will be completely ruined once Li Tingze publicly announces his love for Lin Zhi.

Regarding the signing, Li Tingze later made arrangements for Su Nianqing, and President Huo also agreed to sign her. It's unclear what happened in between, or why President Huo went back on his word and refused to sign.

He needs to contact President Huo first to find out the specific reasons.

"I'll contact Mr. Huo."

In business dealings, there are bound to be exchanges of interests, so it's naturally inconvenient for Su Nianqing to overhear.

Li Tingze told her to wait in the car, then got out and dialed President Huo's number.

Seeing Li Tingze busy with her affairs, Su Nianqing was deeply moved.

With tears in her eyes, she watched his retreating figure, a faint smile of happiness on her face.

She knew that Li Tingze would never be able to refuse her.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of a file folder lying in the corner of her eye.

She glanced at the driver, who was staring blankly outside. She took a deep breath, carefully picked up the file bag, and when she opened it and saw the drawings inside, her eyes were filled with surprise and envy.

It's not hard to guess that these exquisite manuscripts belong to Lin Zhi.

Her heart raced, and without thinking, she took out her phone, snapped photos of everything, put the photos back in the box, and tossed them back into the corner.

Li Tingze returned to the car and noticed that Su Nianqing's expression was off.

Su Nianqing's lips twitched, and she said with an unnatural expression, "Aze, for the sake of the fact that I risked my life to save you and your mother back then, could you please grant me one more request? I promise, this is the last one."

"what's up?"

"Regardless of whether Mr. Huo is willing to sign me or not, I hope to launch a special new product with me as the chief designer through the jewelry brand under the Li Group. This will raise my profile, and then I think Mr. Huo will have no reason to refuse to sign me."

Li Tingze thought about it and realized that this was a good idea.

He nodded without hesitation and agreed: "You can discuss the specifics with my assistant."

Su Nianqing was secretly pleased that her scheme had succeeded.

She thought that Lin Zhi had stolen the identity of Mrs. Li that rightfully belonged to her, and had been stealing it for a full five years.

She only took three manuscripts.

Compared to Lin Zhi stealing her happy life, what she did was far from enough.

If anyone's to blame, it's Lin Zhi herself.

This is the retribution Lin Zhi deserved for her theft!
