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

Lin Zhi specifically arranged the meeting at her studio.

Li Tingze sat on the fabric sofa, his hawk-like eyes taking in the interior decorations, feeling a deep sense of familiarity.

Ten years later, Lin Zhi still prefers the same things she liked in the beginning.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Perhaps, deep down, she still prefers his type?

Does he still have a chance?

Lin Zhi placed a cup of hand-drip coffee in front of him and cautiously asked, "You were in such a hurry to see me, is there something important?"

Li Tingze didn't reply immediately, but instead picked up his coffee and took a sip.

The rich aroma of coffee is as delicious as ever.

In this world, only Lin Zhi's coffee suits his taste.

His taste buds have never been satisfied since she moved out of the villa.

His body was the same.

The way he was enjoying himself at that moment caught Lin Zhi's eye, and that familiar charm made her heart tremble slightly.

She was afraid that he would spy on her like before and find out about her pregnancy.

The less he spoke, the more anxious she became.

"Li Tingze, what urgent matter do you have to discuss with me...?"

Li Tingze looked up at Lin Zhi, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you nervous? Are you afraid I'll do something to you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi's body trembled.

She forced a bitter smile: "If you don't want to say what it is, please leave. I have a lot of things to take care of."

The way she was so eager to get rid of him annoyed him.

Li Tingze's pupils narrowed slightly, his dark eyes fixed on her.

His eyes held a hint of coldness, as well as a deep affection that Lin Zhi couldn't decipher, making her uneasy.

After a long pause, Li Tingze sat up straight and handed the prepared supplementary agreement to Lin Zhi: "I never imagined that Grandpa would transfer 25% of Li's shares to your name. I'm sure you know why Grandpa would do this. To avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, please sign this supplementary agreement."

Lin Zhi took the supplementary agreement and glanced at all of its contents.

The content is not complicated; it aims to show that after she dissolves her marriage with him, her share of the Li family business will be taken back.

Her original intention was to refuse Grandpa Li's kindness.

Without hesitation, I will sign my name in the signature column.

After signing, she gave Li Tingze a cold smile: "I've finished signing, you should leave now, right?"

Li Tingze's eyes darkened, and he deliberately mocked, "Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me because you've arranged to meet another man and are afraid that he might misunderstand if he sees me here?"

Lin Zhi just wanted Li Tingze to leave quickly, afraid that he would discover her pregnancy later.

So he agreed, "Yes, so you'd better leave now!"

"Who is the man you met up with? Shen Mubai? Or some other man?"

Li Tingze's face turned pale as he stared intently at Lin Zhi, as if he wanted to devour her.

Lin Zhi was utterly speechless.

She'd said too much already, and now she just didn't want to say it anymore.

She ignored him, stood up, and went back to her workstation to get busy.

Li Tingze understood what she meant.

He deliberately did not grant her wish.

He deliberately sat in the studio drinking coffee.

A short while later, Shen Mubai rushed in and asked Lin Zhi with concern, "Zhi'er, how did your checkup at the hospital go? What did the doctor say?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhi quickly stood up and urgently called out to Shen Mubai, "Mubai, you've come at the right time. There's a problem with the materials for one of the finished products. Come and take a look."

Shen Mubai frowned, sensing that something was about to happen.

He turned around and saw Li Tingze sitting on the sofa, leisurely drinking coffee.

His tone immediately turned sour: "Mr. Li, what brings you here to drink coffee? Hasn't your good brother invited you to play golf and have a few drinks to strengthen your brotherly bond?"

When it comes to Yin and Yang, Shen Mubai's words are the best.

Instead of getting angry, Li Tingze laughed and said, "No alcohol can compare to the coffee my wife makes by hand."

The word "wife" made Shen Mubai unhappy.

He corrected her, "Mr. Li, you really have a bad memory. You and Zhi'er have already..."

Lin Zhi stepped forward, grabbed Shen Mubai's hand, gestured for him not to say anything more, and pushed him out the door. She whispered, "Mubai, I'll explain the examination to you in detail tomorrow."

Actually, Shen Mubai had already guessed the test results when Lin Zhi said those words.

I can't describe the feeling in my heart.

He always respected Lin Zhi, and since she didn't want him to stay, he left first as she wished.

Before leaving, he reminded her that since they had completely broken up, she shouldn't spend too much time with Li Tingze anymore.

Lin Zhi naturally understood this principle.

She smiled slightly at Shen Mubai and watched him leave.

He had just turned around when he bumped into a solid chest.

Li Tingze then pulled her into a tight embrace.

A simple hug terrified her, leaving her pale and trembling all over.

Li Tingze immediately released his grip, took a step back, and felt extremely frustrated and irritable.

She was so averse to his touch, yet she spoke softly to Shen Mubai and was even reluctant to part with him.

His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists, and his voice became extremely hoarse: "I can't control which man you want to associate with, but please remember the terms of the divorce agreement. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and destroying the divorce agreement, rendering our contract null and void."

Lin Zhi smiled bitterly and nodded slightly.

After seeing Li Tingze off, Lin Zhi was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

She was about to close the door and go back to her room to rest when Wen Rongbin suddenly barged in like a madman, pinned her to the ground without saying a word, and kicked her violently in the stomach.

Each kick was extremely vicious, as if he wanted to kill her on the spot.

Lin Zhi instinctively protected her stomach, enduring the intense abdominal pain, and scrambled under the table.

Seeing that he couldn't kick Lin Zhi, Wen Rongbin looked around, grabbed a handy tool, and prepared to launch a new attack on Lin Zhi, aiming for her stomach.

Seeing her trembling and hiding under the table, Wen Rongbin sneered, "Wen Zhi, you probably never dreamed your retribution would come so quickly. You must be wondering why I dared to treat you so cruelly. I'll tell you the truth today: someone paid three hundred million to have me get rid of the bastard in your belly. If you don't want to lose your life, come out obediently, and I'll guarantee your survival!!!"

Lin Zhi stared wide-eyed in horror.

She had only been back from the hospital for a short time when Wen Rongbin learned that she was pregnant.

At this critical juncture, who exactly wants to kill the unborn child in her womb?

Could it be Li's father?

Wen Rongbin gave her no time to think, precisely grabbed her ankle, and forcibly dragged her out from under the table, then stepped on her abdomen with a vicious sneer on his face.

Lin Zhi pushed hard on Wen Rongbin's ankle, trying to relieve the pain.

Wen Rongbin looked down at her and laughed wildly: "If you don't want to die or lose the child in your belly, transfer 500 million to me immediately, and I might spare your life and the bastard in your belly."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the studio door was kicked open from the outside.

Wen Rongbin turned around and saw the person who had come; his face immediately turned pale.

As the person drew closer, he quickly pulled out a hidden knife and held it to Lin Zhi's neck, shouting, "Don't come any closer! If you take another step, I'll take Wen Zhi down with me!"

Li Tingze's eyes turned cold instantly, and he clenched his fists, preparing to make a move.

However, he did not immediately step forward.

Because he knew very well that Wen Rongbin was heavily in debt and had no other choice but to target Lin Zhi.

It's simply a matter of money.

He said coldly, "Just name your price. As long as you release Lin Zhi, I'll transfer the money to you immediately!"

Wen Rongbin sneered.

His expression turned ferocious: "Li Tingze, do you really think you can control everything just because you have a few stinking coins? I don't need your money. Even if I die today, I won't take a single penny from you!"

"One billion!"

Li Tingze stared intently at Wen Rongbin, fearing that the knife in his hand might hurt Lin Zhi.

He didn't want Lin Zhi to suffer any more harm.

Even if she is no longer the Mrs. Li who has his heart full of love.

Wen Rongbin remained unmoved.

Li Tingze continued to raise the price: "Two billion!"

Wen Rongbin smiled.

He patted Lin Zhi's delicate face with the knife and sighed, "I never thought you were worth two billion. If I had known, I wouldn't have needed to kneel down and beg you. I could have just tied you up and asked President Li for the money."

As he spoke, Li Tingze strode forward and grabbed the sharp knife.

Wen Rongbin stabbed hard, causing Li Tingze's palm to bleed profusely.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Rongbin turned tail and ran towards the door.

Lin Zhi trembled with fear. Looking at Li Tingze's bleeding palm, she couldn't help but recall the time when she encountered a pervert at the rural raw material factory and was rescued in time.

A strange pang of sadness welled up inside me.

With red eyes, she looked at Li Tingze's bloodied and mangled palm and choked out, "If the bones and tendons are broken, this hand of yours will be useless."

Li Tingze gazed at her, his voice low and hoarse as he said, "For you, it would be worth it even if I were crippled."

Lin Zhi was in a state of confusion and avoided his gaze.

Did he think that by doing all this, she would cry her heart out, be grateful, and return to him without hesitation?

What makes him think that her decision to leave him is a joke?

She stood up and said coldly, "I'll call an ambulance for you. Go to the hospital to get bandaged up yourself."

The sudden coldness broke Li Tingze's heart.

He stood up, faced Lin Zhi, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Even if a complete stranger had rescued you today, you would have been incredibly grateful, wouldn't you?"

Lin Zhi looked back into his eyes and asked, "So? How do you want me to thank you?"

As she spoke, she laughed.

"Is it about me coming back to your side and continuing to be Mrs. Li, who is completely obedient to you?"

"I'll still kneel at your feet..."

Lin Zhi was interrupted by Li Tingze before she could finish speaking.

He suppressed the pain in his chest, gave Lin Zhi a deep look with his dark eyes, and then turned and left.

At the same moment, Lin Zhi's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground, her hand gently stroking her lower abdomen, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Originally, she hadn't decided whether or not to keep the child.

At this moment, she resolved to give birth to the child in her womb and raise it to adulthood.

Even though being a single mother is difficult, she will never regret it.

Perhaps this is the hope that Lin Wanxin gave her, so that she would no longer be alone for the rest of her life.

……

Li Tingze returned to his car and immediately dialed his assistant's number, instructing him to thoroughly investigate Wen Rongbin's motives for suddenly attacking Lin Zhi.

The assistant responded quickly.

Assistant: "Mr. Li, Wen Rongbin secretly met with Ms. Jiang before coming to the studio to see his wife."

Li Tingze's face was as cold as ice.

Why is Jiang Anran in such a hurry to find Wen Rongbin to take Lin Zhi's life?

If it were just for the 25% share in Lin Zhi's hands, Jiang Anran wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths to eliminate Lin Zhi.

He said coldly, "Investigate thoroughly and report back to me immediately."

Before hanging up, the assistant hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Li... before you and your wife met, your wife went to the hospital for a check-up."

Li Tingze's heart skipped a beat: "What is she going to get checked for?"
