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

Lin Zhi and Li Tingze did not immediately go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain a divorce certificate.

Because the divorce agreement stipulates that the formal divorce proceedings can only be completed one year later.

During this period, the two had completely severed ties and there was no longer any marital relationship between them.

However, they are still legally married for the time being.

With the agreement in hand, unless both parties want to reconcile, they will be complete strangers a year from now!

Lin Zhi was too lazy to argue with Li Tingze anymore.

This is the best outcome for her right now.

She didn't want to completely destroy Li Tingze; she wanted to leave him a way to survive within the Li family business.

After all, they were husband and wife, and the compensation he gave was quite good. She didn't need to make a scene.

She and Li Tingze haven't seen each other since signing the divorce agreement.

Let's part ways amicably and wish each other well!

She quickly threw herself into the preparations for the studio's opening. The debut required more than a hundred products of various sizes. In addition to drawing design drafts day and night, she also had to keep a close eye on post-production to ensure that the finished product matched the design drafts as closely as possible. She was busy almost all the time without getting tired, and even her sleep time was repeatedly compressed.

Finally, her shop opened for business.

Lin Zhi's fame had already increased significantly after the previous jewelry variety show and jewelry exhibition tour. In addition, Shen Mubai used the resources of Shen's Jewelry to promote her, attracting many customers who came from afar on the opening day.

To support her, Grandma Shen generously sent two large rows of opening flower baskets.

The scene was very lively.

Lin Zhi hadn't originally planned to make things so complicated, but Shen Mubai had enthusiastically arranged everything for her. Not only were there opening flower baskets, but the most famous drum and gong team was also invited to play drums and gongs on site, and even a ribbon-cutting ceremony was arranged.

Before the ceremony began, Lin Zhi's phone rang.

It was an unfamiliar number she had never seen before.

She walked to a quiet corner and answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, she could faintly hear the sounds of gongs and drums. Before she could listen carefully, a long-lost voice rang out: "Lin Zhi, it's me."

Lin Zhi was not surprised at all.

After signing the divorce agreement, she immediately blocked all of Li Tingze's contact information.

She wanted to completely sever ties with him.

Leaving no room for each other.

But she couldn't stop Li Tingze from calling her from a different number.

She didn't hang up, but instead gave a soft "hmm" and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Li Tingze's voice became hoarse: "I heard your studio is opening today. I wish you a bright future and continued success."

Lin Zhi remained indifferent and replied with a simple, "Thank you."

Li Tingze told Lin Zhi that he had given her a small gift and hoped she wouldn't find it offensive.

Lin Zhi didn't refuse, but before hanging up, her voice carried a hint of resentment: "Li Tingze, we've already signed the divorce agreement. By blocking all your contact methods, I mean I don't want anything to do with you anymore. Please don't call me from different phone numbers in the future. We're no longer in a relationship where we can exchange pleasantries!"

After saying that, she immediately hung up the call.

He then put his phone on silent.

Just then, the courier delivered the small gift that Li Tingze had mentioned to her. After signing for it, she casually tossed the gift box aside and didn't look at it again.

She doesn't want to touch anything related to him now.

She didn't want to recall that painful marriage.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began. Lin Zhi was surrounded and stood in the center, while Grandma Shen and Shen Mubai stood on either side of her. The three of them, all smiles, used golden scissors to cut the ribbon and then took a group photo together.

Sunlight shone on Lin Zhi's face.

It made her smile even more radiant.

A black luxury car was parked not far away.

Li Tingze was wearing a black suit and the tie Lin Zhi had given him. His eyes were fixed on Lin Zhi's face through the car window.

Even from a distance that wasn't too far, he could observe the subtle expressions on her face.

He could tell that Lin Zhi was genuinely happy at that moment.

The radiant smile she displayed was one she had never shown when she was with him.

She was indeed very happy after leaving him...

He sighed softly, leaned back in his seat, and stared gloomily at the car roof. The image of Lin Zhi's indifferent face during their phone call and her heartless indifference when she didn't even look at the gift he had given him flashed through his mind, causing him so much heartache that he could hardly breathe.

The assistant secretly glanced at Li Tingze and saw that his face was even darker than before, and knew in his heart that something was very wrong.

Ever since Lin Zhi moved out of the villa, Li Tingze's expression has been terrible. He picks on everyone he can find, and several young people in the secretariat couldn't stand it and resigned. But Li Tingze not only didn't stop, he started picking on people even more frequently.

In short, nothing I see makes me happy.

The employees who worked hard under him were always on edge at work, fearing that the boss would find out their mistakes and punish them severely.

At this moment, the assistant desperately hoped that Lin Zhi could return to Li Tingze's side.

Unfortunately, Lin Zhi was no longer the Mrs. Li she once was.

Instead, it is Lin Zhi, an original jewelry designer.

She is now an independent individual.

After a long pause, the assistant finally dared to remind him, "Mr. Li, the Li Clan Assembly is the day after tomorrow. Old Master Li wants you to bring your wife... Designer Lin, to attend."

Upon hearing the title "Designer Lin," Li Tingze's expression turned cold, and he looked at his assistant with a chilling gaze.

However, he didn't do anything to his assistant, but simply replied, "I have my own plans."

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, having escaped unscathed.

Li Tingze did not go back to the Li Corporation with their car, but got out and left alone.

He crossed the street and entered the coffee shop opposite Lin Zhi's studio.

Sitting quietly by the glass window, watching Lin Zhi and Shen Mubai see off wave after wave of customers with smiles on their faces, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart.

The bright and beautiful Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi is full of vitality.

But it doesn't belong to him!

He sat there from daytime until the coffee shop closed.

The shop owner noticed that he kept staring at the studio across the street, so he went up to him and said, "Sir, are you here for Sister Lin from the jewelry studio across the street?"

Li Tingze frowned, noticing the key word 'also'.

He hurriedly asked, "Were there other men who came to your shop to see her?"

The shop owner nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's Mr. Shen who's been by Sister Lin's side all day. He came to my shop for coffee almost every day recently, and he sat in this very spot."

Li Tingze's breath hitched, and he looked coldly at the studio across the street.

One can't help but speculate.

Lin Zhi has already told Shen Mubai about their signed divorce agreement, right?

Otherwise, how could Shen Mubai have dared to pursue Lin Zhi so fiercely?

Lin Zhi and Shen Mubai worked together so well and happily today. Could it be that she is planning to make room for Shen Mubai?

In an instant, his heart was filled with jealousy.

That day, he was drinking coffee, but it felt like he was drinking alcohol; his mind was in a mess, indescribable.
