The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

In the presidential suite of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Chen Zhi ultimately couldn't bring himself to beat Li Zhiyi.

This girl is so good at manipulating people. As soon as her eyes redden and she calls out his name in a soft, sweet voice, all of Chen Zhi's mischievous schemes can only turn into a long sigh, and in the end, he obediently hugs and kisses her.

After a tender moment, around 9 p.m., Chen Zhicai took Li Zhiyi back to the east gate of Renmin University.

Li Zhiyi was wearing a long white down jacket, huddled inside the oversized garment, her hands tightly gripping Chen Zhi's clothes, her face full of reluctance.

"Go back, you have class tomorrow." Chen Zhi helped her pull her scarf up to cover her nose, which was red from the cold.

Li Zhiyi nodded, just about to turn around and scan her face to enter the school gate.

A clear, crisp female voice suddenly came from the side.

"Zhiyi? What a coincidence, you just got back."

Chen Zhi turned his head at the sound.

A strikingly beautiful girl walked over from the side and behind, wearing a high-quality khaki trench coat and delicate makeup.

She was accompanied by a tall, handsome young man dressed in designer clothes, with a luxury watch faintly visible on his wrist, who struck a very high-class pose.

"Hello, Minister Jiang." Li Zhiyi greeted the visitor politely.

The girl called Minister Jiang smiled, her gaze falling on Chen Zhi as she looked him up and down.

Chen Zhi was dressed casually today, wearing a simple black long down jacket. The total cost of his entire outfit was less than a thousand yuan, making him look like an ordinary male college student.

"So this is your mysterious boyfriend?" Jiang Ke extended her right hand. "Hello, my name is Jiang Ke, and I'm Zhiyi's classmate."

Chen Zhi extended his right hand and briefly grasped half of her finger before letting go.

"Chen Zhi".

Jiang Ke withdrew her hand and jokingly started the conversation, "So you're Li Zhiyi's boyfriend? I've heard so much about you. You've snatched away the most beautiful girl in our law school, and a lot of the male students in the school are not happy about it."

Chen Zhi didn't even bother with formalities and simply put his hands back into his down jacket pockets.

"Then let them suffer."

The moment those words were spoken, the air fell silent.

Jiang Ke's smile froze for a moment.

When a normal person hears such a thing, shouldn't they be humble and say something like "Oh, not at all" or "I was just lucky"?

Why does this person not follow the rules at all?

Jiang Ke felt a little awkward for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

Upon seeing this, the tall, handsome boy standing next to her frowned and took a step forward.

"Dude, we're both adults, don't talk so rudely." The boy had his hands in his pockets, his tone clearly lecturing.

"You need to understand, at a top university like Renmin University, the classmates or teachers you meet are likely to be among the highest-ranking people you'll ever encounter in your life. Next week, a senior partner from a leading firm is giving a lecture in our department. Jiang is the vice-minister of the student union; do you know how many resources he controls?"

This guy was clearly used to showing his maturity and composure in front of girls, and taking the opportunity to step on Chen Zhi to show off his superiority.

Chen Zhi almost burst out laughing when he saw Chen Zhi's smug, self-assured manner.

The highest-ranking person?

He had recently discussed financing plans with Mr. Wang of Beijing Infrastructure Investment Group and Wall Street tycoons in a conference room, and that afternoon he was planning a market worth tens of billions of yuan in his top-floor office at the International Trade Center.

Now a student comes up to him and talks about social class?

Chen Zhi nodded, looking at the boy with a face full of agreement.

"You're right, you really can't offend people easily." Chen Zhi changed the subject, "But I have a question I'd like to ask you."

The boy thought Chen Zhi had given in, and slightly raised his chin: "You tell me."

"Are you this Jiang student's simp, or my Zhiyi's simp?" Chen Zhi asked.

The boy's face instantly turned bright red.

"What the hell did you say?" He took a step closer, his voice rising several decibels.

Jiang Ke was also stunned, clearly not expecting Chen Zhi to speak so bluntly.

Chen Zhi completely ignored the boy's anger and continued to add insult to injury: "If you're Jiang's simp, then you should behave yourself and stop trying to get attention from other people's boyfriends. If you're my Zhiyi's simp, then sorry, you're out of luck. Hurry up and find another target, don't waste your time here."

"Are you looking for trouble?!" The boy, enraged, pointed at Chen Zhi, his face flushed and neck bulging. "Which school are you from? How dare you be so arrogant in front of Renmin University?"

Chen Zhi took half a step back, shielding Li Zhiyi behind him.

"From Peking University."

Chen Zhi lifted his eyelids to look at him.

"What's wrong? You want to fight me here?"

The boy's hand, which was raised in mid-air, froze.

He originally thought that Li Zhiyi's boyfriend, whom she was keeping hidden, was at most an ordinary poor student from a top university who had come to Renmin University to try and climb the social ladder.

Otherwise, why would she never talk about anything related to her boyfriend?

Who would have thought this guy was actually from Peking University next door?

In Beijing's university circles, students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities have an inherent aura of prestige, so if things really get out of hand, he definitely won't come out on top.

Moreover, Chen Zhi's arrogant and thuggish demeanor made him uneasy.

The boy swallowed hard, his momentum instantly deflated.

Jiang realized something was wrong and quickly grabbed the boy's arm.

"Alright, alright, we're all classmates, there's no need to make things so awkward." Jiang Ke forced a smile, pulled the boy aside, and said, "Zhiyi, I'll treat you to a meal sometime. We have some things to do, so we'll be going now."

After saying that, she grabbed the boy who was still cursing and swearing, and quickly walked into the school gate.

Watching their figures disappear into the night, Li Zhiyi gently tugged at Chen Zhi's sleeve.

"Chen Zhi, don't be angry." Li Zhiyi's voice was soft. "Jiang Ke is actually not a bad person. She is our class monitor and became the vice minister of the student union in her freshman year. She also works part-time outside of school to earn money. She is hardworking and capable."

Chen Zhi turned his head and looked at Li Zhiyi's cautious way of explaining things to others, and the last bit of anger in his heart dissipated.

"Okay, for the sake of my Zhiyi, I'll treat her better from now on." Chen Zhi reached out and ruffled her hair.

"I just really disliked the look on that guy's face next to me. He's barely grown up yet, and he's trying to talk to me about class, acting all high and mighty. If I don't give him a piece of my mind, I won't be able to sleep well tonight."

Li Zhiyi nodded obediently. She didn't care how badly the boy was scolded; as long as Chen Zhi was happy, that was all that mattered.

"Go inside quickly, it's too cold outside. I'll come see you again tomorrow," Chen Zhi urged.

"Okay, then be careful on your way back." Li Zhiyi walked into the school gate, turning back every few steps.

As Li Zhiyi's figure disappeared completely, Chen Zhi's smile slowly faded, and he prepared to go find Pei Ningxue.

He walked to the side of the road and flagged down a taxi.

"Master, to Wanliu Academy."

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Wanliu Academy.

Chen Zhi skillfully used facial recognition to pass through the access control system, took the elevator directly to the top floor, entered the password, and pushed open the solid wood door of the duplex apartment.

The living room lights were off, with only a dim, yellowish light shining through the crack in the bedroom door.

Chen Zhi changed into slippers and quietly walked into the bedroom.

Pei Ningxue had already taken a shower and was wearing a burgundy silk nightgown, leaning against the headboard looking at a financial statement written entirely in English.

Hearing the noise, she looked up.

A stunningly beautiful smile instantly bloomed on her previously aloof face.

"You're back." Pei Ningxue put down the report in her hand, lifted the blanket, and patted the spot next to her.

Chen Zhi took off his coat, took a quick shower in the bathroom, and then crawled into bed.

As soon as he lay down, Pei Ningxue pressed herself against him.

She snuggled into Chen Zhi's arms like a cat, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and buried her face in his chest.

"I thought you were going to stand me up tonight." Pei Ningxue's voice was muffled, revealing a deep weariness.

Feeling the warm, soft body in his arms, Chen Zhi pulled her even tighter.

"When have I ever gone back on my word?"

Pei Ningxue didn't say anything, but just hugged him even tighter.

The two of them held each other quietly like that.

There were none of the usual provocative and suggestive words, nor any excessive physical contact.

She really just wanted to hold him while she slept.

Chen Zhi looked down at Pei Ningxue's head, smelling the faint scent of shampoo in her hair, and felt a mix of emotions.

This woman is the heiress of the Pei Group, who has lived a life of luxury since childhood.

But for him, she rushed back to Beijing on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, eating takeout in this deserted big house, staying up late every day to review reports, and helping him deal with those investors.

She bought this multi-million dollar mansion, dreaming of her future with him.

She gave the most and bore the greatest pressure.

But what about yourself?

Not only could he not give her a clear promise, but he was also with other girls before he came to see her.

Chen Zhi sighed and rested his chin on her forehead.

"You've worked hard these past few days. Once this round of financing for the company is finalized, I'll take you on a vacation."

Pei Ningxue snuggled against him, finding a comfortable position.

"I'm not going," she mumbled with her eyes closed. "You'd be better off spending this time lying in this bed with me for a few more days."

"Go to sleep." Chen Zhi patted her back.

Pei Ningxue's breathing gradually became steady; she was clearly exhausted and soon fell asleep.

Chen Zhi maintained the embracing posture, looking at the intricate crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and finally relaxed his nerves after a long day.
