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

The next morning, Lin Zhi woke up in pain from a sudden abdominal cramp.

Perhaps the recurrence of my old ailment is due to being too busy and lack of sleep during this period.

She went to the hospital for a follow-up examination without telling Lin Wanxin.

"Ms. Lin, as I told you last time, abdominal cramps can range from mild to severe. You need to rest more during this period, eat a light diet, and keep a happy mood. You can't take any more damage to your body. I'll prescribe some traditional Chinese medicine for you to take as prescribed."

"Okay, thank you doctor."

After picking up her medicine, Lin Zhi was heading to her part-time job when she ran into Li Tingze, who was also at the hospital.

Their eyes met, and they gazed at each other silently.

After a long while, Li Tingze walked up to her and took the medicine bag from her hand: "What are you doing at the hospital?"

Lin Zhi put away the medicine bag and said calmly, "My affairs are none of your business."

Li Tingze snatched the medicine bag again, and after seeing the names of the traditional Chinese medicines inside, he frowned slightly: "Why is your stomach hurting again? If the medicine doesn't work, I'll have someone make an appointment with a specialist to give you a full check-up, just in case there are any hidden problems, so we can detect and treat them early."

Lin Zhi stared at him, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart.

She used to often fantasize about how anxious he would be for her.

Especially after her grandfather passed away, she longed even more for his love and care, even just a small greeting.

But now, she is very clear-headed and will no longer be moved or turn back by the slightest bit of kindness he bestows upon her.

They had been married for five years, and he had never shown her any concern, no matter how minor or major her illness.

Lin Zhi knew very well why he had suddenly changed his behavior.

He simply didn't want to lose control of the Li family, and even more so, he didn't want his beloved to lose her liver.

She met his gaze coldly and said in a low voice, "Li Tingze, your concern comes too late. I don't need it anymore. Save it for Su Nianqing."

After that, she turned around and left.

Li Tingze gripped her slender wrist, his expression slightly cold: "Lin Zhi, stop making a scene, okay? So many days have passed, how long are you going to keep this up?"

Lin Zhi coldly shook off his hand and said calmly, "Li Tingze, I'm not joking with you. I really want to divorce you. Aren't you also thinking of divorcing me so you can marry Su Nianqing?"

"Who said I wanted a divorce? Nianqing and I have no relationship whatsoever..."

Before Li Tingze could finish speaking, his phone rang.

The caller ID showed "Grandpa Li".

"Grandpa, what do you need me for?"

"You brat, get back to the old house right now and bring Zhi'er back with you."

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Li Tingze looked at Lin Zhi and said, "Stop making a fuss. Grandpa wants us to go back to the old house for dinner."

“We’re getting a divorce anyway, so there’s no need to go back to the old house and put on a show of being a loving couple in front of Grandpa.” Lin Zhi rejected his request. “If you don’t want Grandpa to know that we’re getting a divorce, just make up some excuse.”

The air froze instantly.

Li Tingze's expression turned cold, his voice mocking: "One shouldn't be so ungrateful! Lin Zhi, don't forget that if it weren't for Grandpa's kindness back then, you and your mother wouldn't be living a good life again. If you cause Grandpa's old illness to flare up again, can you live with yourself?"

Lin Zhi had no rebuttal.

She sighed deeply: "I only came back to the old house with you because of the kindness my grandfather had shown me."

Li Tingze smiled and took her hand as they walked out of the hospital.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the Li family's old residence.

As soon as they entered the room, Li Tingze half-embraced Lin Zhi's slender waist. Just as she was about to struggle, he whispered in her ear, "If you want to make Grandpa have a relapse, then feel free to push me away."

Lin Zhi's expression froze, she secretly rolled her eyes, and suppressed his restless hands.

As soon as the two approached, Old Master Li immediately stood up, came to Lin Zhi, and said with loving eyes, "Zhi'er, I've heard that you've been going to the hospital a lot lately. Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Zhi felt a surge of emotion.

Of the entire Li family, only Old Master Li truly cared about her.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she shook her head, trying to hold back her emotions.

She smiled and replied, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a minor illness, and I've already recovered after taking the medicine."

"It's good that she's alright." After saying that, Old Master Li immediately looked at Li Tingze and said with a serious expression, "You should pay more attention to Zhi'er in the future. If anything happens to her, I'll beat you to death."

"Grandpa, I..."

Before Li Tingze could even open his mouth, Old Master Li interrupted him, "Alright, I get a headache just hearing you talk."

He was completely speechless.

Old Master Li gave him a warning glare.

He then warmly took Lin Zhi's hand and got up to walk to the dining table.

As soon as they sat down, Old Master Li put a chicken leg into Lin Zhi's bowl and said with a smile, "Zhi'er, eat it while it's hot. Later I'll have the chef make some ginseng chicken soup for you both to nourish yourselves and hopefully give birth to an heir for the Li family as soon as possible."

"Thank you, grandpa."

Lin Zhi glanced awkwardly at Li Tingze, and suddenly felt that the chicken leg in front of her was a burden of love.

Suddenly, Old Master Li started coughing violently, so violently that he almost passed out.

Lin Zhi quickly patted his back, her expression turning serious.

After recovering, Grandpa Li sighed softly, "Zhi'er, Grandpa is getting old and his health is deteriorating. I might pass away any day now. I've lived for over eighty years and I'm already content, but my only worry is you."

Lin Zhi quickly shook her head: "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old."

"People have to admit they're getting old." Old Master Li shook his head helplessly, then said, "Stay here tonight and keep me company. It's been a long time since we've talked. Let's play some chess."

Lin Zhi quickly nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Lin Zhi accompanied Old Master Li to play chess in the study.

After just one round, Old Master Li said he was tired and told Lin Zhi to go upstairs to rest.

No sooner had Lin Zhi left than Old Master Li said to the housekeeper, "Quickly, take the nourishing chicken soup that's simmering in the stove to them."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

The housekeeper hurried to the kitchen to ladle out the warm, nourishing chicken soup and bring it upstairs.

He left with a big smile after seeing Li Tingze and Lin Zhi drink it.

Lin Zhi felt something was off: "I feel like Uncle Zhong's smile is a little creepy."

Li Tingze took off his coat, found a comfortable position to lie on his side on the sofa, and hummed softly, "That bowl of chicken soup just now was specially made with ingredients."

"Then why are you still drinking!"

Lin Zhi stared in shock, her eyes wide. Whether it was psychological or not, she felt a heat rising in her body.

Looking up, I saw Li Tingze loosening his tie.

She immediately panicked and asked, "What should we do? Are we really going to have to do what Grandpa wants and have a baby?"
