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

Li Tingze looked at her flushed cheeks and slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

He raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Otherwise, would Grandpa be able to stop?"

Lin Zhi was instantly speechless with anger.

They're getting a divorce, and now they want to have another child? Wouldn't that just make things even more complicated?

The temperature in the room was rising steadily.

Li Tingze stood up, pulled off his belt, and tossed it onto the sofa: "I'm going to take a shower first."

"You really want to..."

Before Lin Zhi could finish speaking, Li Tingze had already walked into the bathroom.

The sound of the rain was like countless feathers brushing against her heart, making the fire burn even brighter.

Not long after, Li Tingze finished washing up and came out.

He wasn't wearing a shirt, only a bath towel around his neck; his tall stature and beautifully defined muscles exuded charm.

Li Tingze walked straight up to Lin Zhi, raised his hand and put a towel over her head, urging, "Look at your expression, hurry up and take a shower."

Lin Zhi's cheeks flushed instantly. She calmed her pounding heart and rushed into the bathroom for a cold shower.

Only then was the fire in my heart quelled!

She came out, drying her wet hair, and saw Li Tingze leaning against the headboard, patting the spot next to him, raising an eyebrow to signal her to come and lie down.

Lin Zhi's face flushed and turned red again.

She rushed to the air vent and faced the cold air directly.

Li Tingze smiled and said, "Don't bother. If we don't give Grandpa a great-grandson, he will never let us off easily."

Immediately afterwards, he got up and pulled her onto the bed.

His slender fingers gently caressed her cheek, his fingertips lightly tracing her lips, his handsome face drawing ever closer.

He knew her body very well and was adept at making her blush and feel her desire burn intensely.

Lin Zhi hurriedly struggled to get away from him.

Li Tingze didn't give her a chance to escape. He placed her hands on her head, gently pinched her chin, and leaned down to kiss her lips.

She tried to dodge, so he increased the force.

After going back and forth, the two were already panting heavily.

At the critical moment, Li Tingze's phone rang.

The caller ID showed 'Nian Qing'.

Lin Zhi glanced at the note and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

Li Tingze gazed at Lin Zhi beneath him, hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed the answer button.

“Aze, Nianqing’s condition has suddenly worsened. Is it convenient for you to come to the hospital to see her now? You haven’t visited her for several days. She’s been in a bad mood and hasn’t been eating or drinking. It breaks my heart to see her like this.”

The room was quiet, and Lin Zhi heard everything clearly.

She felt nauseous when she thought about their intimacy just now.

She forcefully pushed the man off her, got up, and walked out of the room.

"Come right away!"

Li Tingze hung up the phone, strode after him, and blocked the stairwell.

He grasped her slender wrist and said calmly, "Let's go together."

Lin Zhi was quite surprised.

Li Tingze didn't give her a chance to refuse, pulled her into the car, and drove off.

In the VIP ward.

Li Tingze took Lin Zhi's hand and pushed open the door to enter the ward.

When Su Nianqing, who was lying in the hospital bed, saw Li Tingze, she immediately showed a gentle smile. But when she saw that he was holding Lin Zhi's hand, she wilted instantly and shrank into the quilt.

"Aze, you're here..." Su's mother greeted Li Tingze with a smile, but when her gaze fell on Lin Zhi beside him, her smile instantly froze, and she said reproachfully, "Nianqing's condition has been worsening these past few days. It's one thing that you're too busy to come see her, but knowing that she can't handle the stress, you still brought Miss Lin along, deliberately trying to upset Nianqing. What will happen if her condition continues to worsen?"

Li Tingze's face immediately turned cold.

Seeing this, Su Nianqing's eyes reddened, and she said weakly, "Aze, my condition has been stabilized and I can be discharged after staying for two more days. It's not as serious as my mother said. I just told her not to call you over, but she insisted... It's so late, I'm really sorry to trouble you and Miss Lin to make such a special trip."

After saying that, she didn't forget to give a gentle smile despite her pale face.

Her pitiful appearance would make anyone feel sorry for her.

Lin Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

Su Nianqing deliberately called her Miss Lin instead of Mrs. Li, making no attempt to hide her little scheme.

With a dark expression, Su's mother sighed, "Alas... You were so eagerly hoping that Aze would come to see you, but when he finally arrived, you turned him away. My silly daughter, someone as kind and considerate as you can never win someone's heart..."

"Mom, please stop talking." Su Nianqing pursed her lips, looked at Li Tingze with tears in her eyes, and sobbed, "I don't want to make things difficult for Aze, and I don't want Miss Lin to misunderstand."

"What misunderstanding? It was clearly her back then..."

"Mother."

Su Nianqing shook her head, indicating to her mother that she should stop there.

The two of them worked together, subtly and overtly subtly attacking Lin Zhi, which broadened Lin Zhi's horizons.

Li Tingze glanced at Lin Zhi, then released her hand and sat down by the bedside.

When your hands are empty, your heart feels empty too.

Lin Zhi stared blankly as Li Tingze gently covered Su Nianqing with the blanket and tidied up the stray hairs that had fallen to the side, his voice soft and doting.

He said, "Don't do anything foolish again. If you want to see me, just call me. I'll make time to see you when I'm done with my work."

He added, "Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have someone arrange it."

He even said, "Your health is the most important thing. Don't do anything foolish that will harm your body again, okay?"

Every word of concern he uttered came from the bottom of his heart, and the way he looked at Su Nianqing when he spoke was gentle and tender, full of affection.

This was something Lin Zhi had once longed for, but never received.

Her heart was stabbed.

The pain was so intense that I couldn't breathe.

He brought her here so she could see their sweet moment?

So that she'll give up completely?

Lin Zhi swallowed the bitterness in her mouth: "If there's nothing else for me, I'll be going now."

After saying that, she immediately turned and left.

Li Tingze stood up, grabbed her wrist, pulled her to his side, and said, "Weren't you upset because I brought Nianqing to Jingbei? You saw it tonight, don't you have anything to say?"

Say?

Does she have the right to say anything?

Lin Zhi felt a pang of sadness, and her throat tightened: "It doesn't matter anymore."

This time, she forcefully shook off Li Tingze's hand and left without looking back.

Li Tingze was about to chase after her when Su's mother shouted, "Tingze, are you leaving so soon? The doctor said Nianqing's condition can't be delayed any longer; she needs surgery immediately. Shouldn't you go talk to the doctor first and see when to schedule the liver transplant?"

Li Tingze stared at the closed door, his face darkening.

"Aze, I'm sorry, my mother was only doing this because she was worried about me..." Su Nianqing said with a guilty and pitiful expression, "How about you talk to the doctor about the surgery arrangements another day?"

Li Tingze nodded slightly: "Yes, you should get some rest. I'll take care of the surgery."

Su Nianqing was just being polite; she hadn't expected Li Tingze to leave, and the light in her eyes dimmed.

Su's mother glared at Su Nianqing with exasperation and hurriedly asked, "When is the surgery scheduled?"

Li Tingze glanced at her silently, then strode away.

Watching his departing figure, a sinister glint appeared in Su's mother's eyes.

Extremely displeased, he said, "I went to great lengths to get Aze here, how could you let him go so easily? Lin Zhi was so angry just now, the two of them must have had a falling out, it was the perfect time for you to be by his side. How could you..."

Su Nianqing frowned and replied unhappily, "Didn't you see that Aze's expression turned sour after Lin Zhi left? Rather than letting him stay and make trouble, it's better to let him go after her, have a good fight, and part on bad terms."

Su's mother smiled with delight: "It has to be you, my good daughter."

Lin Zhi was waiting for a ride-hailing car at the hospital entrance.

As soon as the car arrived, before he could even get in, Li Tingze grabbed his wrist and dragged him into the back seat.

Lin Zhi struggled to get out of the car, but Li Tingze told the driver to lock the doors and drove away.

She remained silent, looking out the car window.

Li Tingze turned his head to look at Lin Zhi.

Her eyes darkened slightly, and she spoke in a cold, indifferent voice: "You don't want the money, and you're unhappy even after I take you to see Nianqing and let you see the truth. Lin Zhi, I really don't know what you've been trying to achieve after all this time!"

Lin Zhi sighed deeply and said in a low voice, "Li Tingze, no matter what I do, you always assume I'm just making a fuss. Yet you still haven't figured out why our marriage can't continue."

The car interior became dark and cold at night because of her words.

Li Tingze stared at her for a long while before letting out a faint laugh: "A while ago, you used Grandpa as an excuse to want to have a child with me. Now you're saying these things, are you trying to talk about feelings with me?"

Lin Zhi looked up at him, smiled bitterly, and asked, "Did you ever have feelings for me?"

Li Tingze remained silent, his expression instantly turning as cold as an iceberg.

Lin Zhi didn't want to say anything more and asked the driver to stop at the intersection ahead.

This time, Li Tingze did not stop him.

Before getting out of the car, she said in a low voice, "Since you have no feelings for me, and I'm also planning to let go of this marriage, we might as well get a clean divorce and go our separate ways."

Li Tingze watched Lin Zhi's departing figure in the rearview mirror with a sullen face and a slight frown.

After a divorce, can everyone truly live a peaceful life together?

He could sense that the Lin Zhi of today was very different from the Lin Zhi who used to chase after him. She no longer needed him, she no longer put him first, and she didn't care about anything related to him.

But in his heart...

I'm feeling upset.
