Chapter 38 If I hadn't come, were you planning to physically assault my wife?
Li Tingze believed he didn't love Lin Zhi, so there was no question of him being jealous.
He scoffed and didn't respond.
The answer has already been given in the negative.
Lin Zhi was not saddened by this; on the contrary, she felt somewhat relieved.
She has gradually let go of him and does not want any further emotional entanglement between them.
She felt perfectly content with this mutually beneficial relationship.
After the conversation ended, Lin Zhi still chose a tie to give to Li Tingze.
Li Tingze called her stingy, but he stood in front of her, waiting for her to try it on for him.
He deliberately didn't bend down, watching her struggle to tie his tie while standing on tiptoe, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
While she was focused, he deliberately pulled her back, and as she gasped in surprise, he grabbed her slender waist, seized her lips, and kissed her forcefully.
Her hands thus clung to his shoulders, and their bodies naturally pressed together.
Such an ambiguous pose made the shop assistants quietly hide.
Lin Zhi was so breathless from the kisses that she looked at the man kissing her with hazy eyes, unable to discern his attitude towards her.
His consciousness gradually returned.
She raised her hand and shoved him away forcefully, taking several steps back to create a safe distance.
I looked up slightly and saw my disheveled self in the mirror.
Li Tingze walked to her side, looked at her in the mirror, loosened his tie, and said quietly, "I really like this gift."
Lin Zhi instinctively took a step to the side and replied, "I'm glad you like it. I'll go pay the bill!"
Before he could say anything, she forcefully ripped the tie off his neck and ran to the cashier.
It was already dark when the two came out of the mall.
Li Tingze's assistant booked the most prestigious French restaurant in northern Beijing for them. The magnificent Versailles Palace design, exquisite tableware, and delicious food made everything perfect, which put Lin Zhi in a very good mood.
During dinner, the restaurant also arranged for a violinist to play a piece live.
Lin Zhi didn't know much about music, but she felt that the piece was very light and cheerful, and as she listened to it, she unconsciously relaxed.
She even thought that if Li Tingze had treated her like this before, perhaps the two of them wouldn't have ended up like this.
Unfortunately, she is not the same person she used to be.
Sugar-coated bullets were not enough to sway her.
Unseen by them, a pair of eyes were watching them intently.
His eyes were filled with hatred.
The owner of these eyes is Su Nianqing.
She had made a reservation for this French restaurant a few days ago, but when she arrived, she was told that the restaurant had been booked out and she would have to wait two hours to get in. She was curious about which man was so romantic as to book the whole place to have dinner with his lover.
When she saw that the people sitting inside were Li Tingze and Lin Zhi, she was so angry that she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
In particular, the atmosphere between Lin Zhi and Li Tingze was wonderful; they chatted and laughed, showing none of the tension that should exist between divorced couples. Instead, they were as harmonious as a newlywed couple in love.
At this moment, Su Nianqing was filled with anger, wanting to vent it, but had nowhere to do so.
She took out her phone and dialed Song Ya's number, describing what she had seen to Song Ya.
On the other end of the phone, Song Ya's face was gloomy as she comforted her, "Nianqing, don't be sad. I only recognize you as my daughter-in-law. No matter what methods Lin Zhi uses to keep Aze, I will definitely find a way to break them up. Mrs. Li can only be you."
Only after receiving Song Ya's affirmation did Su Nianqing feel a little better.
She gripped the phone tightly, as if she would break it in half at any moment.
……
Last night, perhaps because the atmosphere during the French meal was so romantic, the two of them drank quite a bit of wine.
Taking advantage of his drunken state, Li Tingze tormented her in bed until the wee hours of the morning.
Even that didn't feel enough.
Upon waking up early in the morning, his hands began to wander restlessly over Lin Zhi's body again.
Lin Zhi pressed his hand down and reminded him, "You have an important meeting at 9:30. If you don't want to be late, you'd better get up now. There's still time."
Li Tingze glanced at the digital clock.
He then got up and went into the bathroom.
Just as he finished washing up and came out, Lin Zhi's phone received a message.
The sender is Song Ya.
The content was about inviting Lin Zhi to a coffee shop to chat.
Lin Zhi's complexion was not good.
She knew perfectly well that Song Yayue was trying to force her to divorce Li Tingze.
It seems that Song Ya failed to persuade her own son during their last meeting.
Now, they're targeting her again.
Her mood immediately soured.
While drying his hair, Li Tingze asked, "Who sent you the message?"
Lin Zhi instinctively hid her phone behind her back and replied with a faint smile, "It's just spam."
She walked up to him, picked up the hairdryer, and dried his hair.
The buzzing of the hairdryer interrupted their conversation.
Li Tingze felt very uncomfortable looking at Lin Zhi, who was focused on blow-drying his hair in the mirror.
He knew that what she had just received was definitely not spam; she was deliberately hiding it from him.
In the past, he enjoyed Lin Zhi's unwavering obedience and her adoration for him, as he was the only one in her world.
Now she's back, but she doesn't like him as much as before.
This kind of relationship is always a bit lacking.
But he just wouldn't let go, insisting on keeping her by his side.
As for why, he himself hasn't figured it out yet.
Perhaps, Lin Zhi was the only woman who loved him wholeheartedly and was willing to give everything for him.
He wanted to see what the final outcome would be for this kind of woman with him!
Li Tingze didn't press the matter further and went out after breakfast.
Instead of going to the Li Group, he had the driver stop the car at the intersection.
Less than ten minutes.
Lin Zhi drove past him alone, heading towards the city center.
Half an hour later, we arrived at a coffee shop.
Lin Zhi got out of the car and went straight into the coffee shop.
Song Ya had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as she sat down, Song Ya said impatiently, "You're late."
Lin Zhi remained expressionless.
She spoke in a cold voice: "Ms. Song, please speak plainly."
Her words greatly displeased Song Ya.
Song Ya put her coffee down on the table and said, "Lin Zhi, you're really putting on airs now. Do you think that because Aze can protect you, I won't dare to do anything to you?"
Lin Zhi did not answer her question.
She picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and then asked in a low voice, "Ms. Song, isn't your goal to force me to divorce Tingze as soon as possible? But I've already handed him the divorce papers, and not only did he not agree to the divorce, he's also forcing me to come back to him. The person you should be advising is him, not me. When our marriage ends is up to him."
Song Ya was speechless for a moment.
The person who was unwilling to get a divorce was indeed Li Tingze.
He's deliberately dragging his feet on the divorce, most likely because he hasn't gotten tired of Lin Zhi yet.
Men are all driven by lust, and Lin Zhi's looks and figure are indeed superior to Su Nianqing's.
However, she had to make him divorce Lin Zhi.
She wouldn't allow him to be dragged down!
Song Ya's eyes dimmed, and she said bluntly, "Go back now and talk to Aze about divorce immediately."
Song Ya was adamant that she had to get a divorce.
Lin Zhi sighed helplessly.
She did want a divorce, but Li Tingze refused to go through the formalities.
So she said calmly, "I will convey your words to Tingze verbatim, word for word, so that he can go with me to complete the divorce procedures as soon as possible."
"Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that!"
Enraged, Song Ya picked up her coffee and threw it in Lin Zhi's direction.
Just as the scalding coffee was about to splash onto Lin Zhi's face, she felt her body being forcefully pulled and falling into a warm chest.
Song Ya looked at the person who had come, her face turning pale and then flushed.
The voice trembled slightly: "Why did you come!"
Li Tingze scoffed coldly.
He pushed Lin Zhi behind him, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Song Ya, his tone cold: "If I hadn't come, were you planning to beat my wife?"
Feeling guilty, Song Ya quickly lowered her voice and said, "Aze, it was Lin Zhi who spoke rudely first. She doesn't know how to respect her elders, so I have no choice but to teach her a lesson."
Li Tingze's face turned cold: "How come I didn't know that the Li family's discipline involved throwing coffee as a form of punishment?"
Song Ya's complexion wasn't much better.
She couldn't stand Li Tingze protecting Lin Zhi.
He said coldly, "She's deliberately dragging her feet on divorcing you, using tricks to bewitch you. I was being too lenient by throwing coffee at her."
Li Tingze glanced at Song Ya indifferently, said, "You're really unreasonable," and left without looking back, pulling Lin Zhi along.
Enraged, Song Ya swept all the coffee cups off the table and onto the floor.
As Li Tingze shoved Lin Zhi into the back seat of the car, she looked up at him and said, "You really don't need to ruin your relationship with your mother. At least, everything she did for me was for your better future."
Li Tingze gently pinched her chin, making her look at him, and asked in a hoarse voice, "And what about you?"
