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

When Lin Zhi asked this question, her cool eyes were fixed on her assistant.

The assistant's eyes darted around, and he stammered for a long time, but didn't dare to say a single word.

She was afraid of saying the wrong thing and causing her boss and his wife to have a big fight.

When the boss is in a bad mood, the employees under him can't have it either.

Sometimes, no response is the answer.

Lin Zhi's heart sank instantly.

She didn't make things difficult for her assistant anymore, but simply said, "Let's go."

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to get the car for Lin Zhi.

His cautious demeanor seemed more like a guilty conscience to Lin Zhi.

On the way to the airport, Lin Zhi had already made two possible scenarios in her mind: one was that Li Tingze would keep his promise after finishing his work and set off for Guanghai with her, and the other was that he would break his promise again.

Most likely because she had already anticipated this, when Li Tingze still hadn't appeared by the time she boarded the plane, her expression seemed quite calm and composed.

The assistant nervously handled her luggage, not daring to say a word, and silently watched Lin Zhi board the plane.

The moment the plane took off, I felt a premonition and inexplicably trembled.

He hurriedly dialed Li Tingze's phone number, expecting it to be switched off again, but to his surprise, Li Tingze answered immediately.

The first question he asked was, "How is it?"

The assistant sighed softly, "Mr. Li, Madam flew to Guanghai alone. Although she didn't say anything, I could tell she was very unhappy. When will you be able to handle things on your end...?"

Perhaps if you rush over there tonight, your wife's unhappiness will soon be replaced by happiness.

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, a scream came from Li Tingze's end, and the call was abruptly ended.

The assistant gazed at the plane soaring through the clouds and sighed deeply.

Some things are destined from the start.

……

After the plane landed, Lin Zhi collected her luggage and got into a private car arranged by her assistant to go to the hotel.

Li Tingze booked the presidential suite at the best local hotel.

A large round bed, a large round bathtub, and a large floor-to-ceiling window facing out. The evening breeze blows, causing the white gauze curtains beside the bed to flutter.

She sat blankly on the sofa, watching this scene, and for the first time, she felt a profound sense of loneliness.

In the past, her heart was always full, whether Li Tingze came back or not; she had never felt this way before.

She didn't move that night.

I slept on the sofa all night.

She woke up early in the morning and was about to wash up when she was stunned by the misty mountain scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

This scene was exactly what she had hoped for five years ago.

The verdant mountain peaks are shrouded in a white mist, resembling a fairyland.

Such a beautiful view, if Li Tingze held her from behind and they enjoyed it together, wouldn't that be a wonderful memory?

Unfortunately……

She had to enjoy the beautiful scenery all by herself, which made it less sweet.

Although Guanghai has "sea" in its name, it is located in a mountainous area with unique and magnificent mountain scenery, making it an excellent tourist destination for relaxation.

There is a mountain here called Wuna Mountain, which is nearly 2,000 meters above sea level. At the very top of the mountain, there is a magnificent temple. It is said that if couples who hike up the mountain make a wish together there, they will be sweet and happy for a long time.

The reason she chose Guanghai for her honeymoon was partly due to this legend.

Her phone ran out of battery last night and she didn't charge it in time. She was able to turn it on after taking it to a charger.

I immediately received a text message from Li Tingze.

The message was very simple: first, he apologized to her, and then he said that he would come to Guanghai to meet her after he finished his important work.

Lin Zhi didn't reply; instead, she tossed her phone aside after reading it.

She told herself that if she didn't expect anything, she wouldn't get hurt.

The hotel delivered a sumptuous breakfast to her room, but she had no appetite. She ate a few bites and then packed some simple gear to head to Wuna Mountain.

Because it wasn't peak tourist season, there weren't many people climbing the mountain, but most of them were couples.

Lin Zhi watched the couples supporting each other, chatting and laughing, and her eyes reddened slightly.

She started climbing from the foot of the mountain at nine o'clock in the morning and didn't reach the Hongfa Temple at the top until three o'clock in the afternoon.

Several times along the way, she was so tired that she didn't want to continue, but in the end she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Standing atop the mountain, gazing upon the magnificent landscape, the sheer impact of that moment made her feel that the trip had been worthwhile.

The temple bells soothed the sorrow in her heart.

With a devout heart, Lin Zhi knelt before the Buddha, sincerely praying for divine protection for her mother. However, when she went to offer incense, a small accident occurred: the burning incense suddenly went out. She hurriedly relit it and went to offer incense again.

A staff member stepped forward, smiling kindly, and said, "Madam, would you like to ask for a signature?"

Lin Zhi was somewhat taken aback; the little incident just now had made her feel uneasy.

She didn't hear what the staff member said, and blankly followed them to the fortune-telling box, where she drew a fortune stick in a daze.

The moment she signed the form, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

The staff member picked up the slip and was about to read its contents aloud when he paused for a moment.

Lin Zhi took the slip of paper, looked at the words on it, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Like a bee gathering nectar each morning, flying from the southwest to the east, it disappears when spring ends and the flowers wither; if this heart is not tempered, it will vanish.

She didn't ask for the interpretation of the divination slip; she already had the answer in her heart.

Does this foreshadow that her marriage with Li Tingze will indeed end in nothing, just as the fortune slip says, and will not last long?

It was already evening.

Lin Zhi planned to go down the mountain.

The staff stopped her and reminded her, "Ma'am, the weather forecast says there will be heavy rain in the next two days. It's getting late, would you like to stay here for the night and come down the mountain tomorrow morning?"

Lin Zhi gently shook her head; she still hoped to give herself and Li Tingze one last chance.

Perhaps he'll be back when he's finished with his work tonight.

She was afraid she would regret it if she missed this opportunity.

Seeing that she was determined to go down the mountain, the staff did not stop her.

The journey down the mountain was much faster than the journey up, but it was getting darker and the path was not easy to walk on. She did not expect it to get dark so quickly. She had not prepared a flashlight in advance and could only use her mobile phone flashlight to illuminate the stone steps.

When she was about two-thirds of the way down, the weather suddenly turned against her, with lightning and thunder, and a torrential downpour. She was in an awkward position with no shelter in front or behind her, so she had no choice but to continue down the mountain in the heavy rain.

Wuna Mountain is hundreds of times more dangerous during a rainstorm than when it's not raining. Flash floods rushed down the mountainside, giving Lin Zhi no chance to dodge.

She was swept away by the flash flood before she could even utter a sound.

In a moment of desperation, she clung tightly to a nearby tree branch, thus preventing a tragedy from occurring.

The flash flood wouldn't recede anytime soon, so she could only rely on her willpower to hold onto the tree branches to save her life.

She tried to call for help, but her phone had been swept away by the flood when the accident happened.

With no one to turn to for help, they could only resign themselves to fate.

Perhaps God took pity on her, for soon rescuers came by, found her, and brought her to safety.

It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't even see your own fingers when you reached out.

She had only felt a series of sharp pains in her leg, but she never expected to have a gash more than 20 centimeters long torn open, with blood flowing freely.

The rescuers first gave her some basic first aid before taking her to the nearest clinic.

After examining her wound, the doctor at the village clinic shook his head with a grave expression, saying that the village's medical equipment was limited and that if she didn't want to have unsightly scars, she should go to a hospital in the city as soon as possible.

The rescuers looked at Lin Zhi and let her make her own decision.

After all, as long as it doesn't endanger one's life, everyone has a desire to look good, and one shouldn't leave unsightly scars because of it.

Ultimately, Lin Zhi decided to transfer to a hospital in the district.

On the way there, despite the pain, she asked the rescuers, "Excuse me, how did you know I was caught in a flash flood?"

The rescuers replied, "It was staff from Hongfa Temple who contacted us, saying that you insisted on going down the mountain alone, and that you might encounter danger."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Lin Zhi felt ashamed, yet also felt a warmth in her heart.

She was treated so kindly by a staff member she had only met once, while the man she had loved so deeply for so many years had disappeared without a trace.

Soon, the rescue team's vehicle arrived at the city hospital.

The rescuer took her to the emergency room, but the room was empty; there were no doctors or even nurses.

Just as she was at a loss, a familiar voice came.

"Sister Zhi'er, what are you doing here?"

Shen Mubai jogged up to Lin Zhi and, seeing the long wound on her leg, immediately asked with concern, "What happened? How did your leg get so badly injured?"

"It's nothing serious. I didn't take proper precautions while hiking and had a minor accident." Lin Zhi was surprised to run into Shen Mubai in a foreign land. "Mr. Shen, what brings you here?"

“There’s a problem with the materials from one of our suppliers, so I’ve come to investigate.”

Even though Lin Zhi downplayed her wound, Shen Mubai still felt heartbroken seeing how long it was.

After learning about the situation, he immediately went to find the doctor on duty.

However, the doctor on duty told them that a very important person had come to the hospital and that there was a very urgent patient who needed to be treated first. They were told to either wait patiently or go to another hospital.

Shen Mubai was worried that Lin Zhi's leg wound would cause problems if it wasn't treated in time, so he found a wheelchair and pushed her to another hospital.

As he pushed Lin Zhi to the exit, they ran into Li Tingze, who was holding Su Nianqing in his arms and rushing inside.

Lin Zhi's heart froze instantly upon seeing this scene.

She looked at Su Nianqing, who was pale in Li Tingze's arms, but her expression remained unusually calm.

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

Li Tingze never expected to run into Lin Zhi, and he certainly didn't expect Lin Zhi to get injured as well.

He looked at Lin Zhi with deep emotion and panic, while Lin Zhi looked at him indifferently.

In just a moment, the two became strangers again.

Lin Zhi pretended not to see Li Tingze and the others, and turned her head slightly to Shen Mubai and said, "President Shen, let's go."

Shen Mubai glared fiercely at Li Tingze, then pushed Lin Zhi away.

Li Tingze hurriedly called out, "Lin Zhi, listen to me."
