The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Lin Wanwan's cheeks were flushed with a faint blush. She picked up a piece of freshly cooked tripe with her chopsticks, blew on it to cool it down, but didn't put it in her bowl.

She tilted her head slightly, bit one end of the tripe with her white teeth, leaned forward, and offered it directly to Chen Zhi's mouth.

Chen Zhi obediently opened his mouth and bit down on the tripe and the two soft lips together.

Lin Wanwan leaned into Chen Zhi's arms and giggled.

Just as Chen Zhi put his arm around Lin Wanwan's waist, preparing to take the next step, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Lin Wanwan was dizzy from the kisses and leaned limply against Chen Zhi's chest. She casually swiped to answer the call and turned on speakerphone.

"Hey, Sister Su." Lin Wanwan's voice still carried a hint of naivety from being out of breath.

"Wanwan, are you still with Chen Zhi?"

"Yes, I'm eating." Lin Wanwan was completely unaware of the strange tone in her manager's voice.

"Wanwan, quickly ask Chen Zhi if their company is planning to sign you as their exclusive spokesperson?" Su Man took a deep breath, seemingly calming herself down. "I just ran into their CFO at a dinner party, and that CEO Pei immediately decided to sign you to a three-year, 100 million yuan exclusive endorsement contract for the Chinese market!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan's previously dazed mind instantly cleared, her eyes widened, and she turned to look at Chen Zhi.

"Honey, is this a surprise you prepared for me?" Lin Wanwan's eyes glistened with tears of emotion.

Chen Zhi was somewhat puzzled, though he didn't know why Pei Ningxue had suddenly invested in his rival.

But seeing Lin Wanwan's moved expression, almost to the point of wanting to repay him with her body, Chen Zhi's mind raced, and he decided to shamelessly take the credit for himself first.

"Cough, I was planning to tell you when you got back to the hotel." Chen Zhi reached out and pinched Lin Wanwan's cheek. "But since you just won the championship, I thought I'd give you some top-tier commercial resources that match your status. We shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

Lin Wanwan was deeply moved and hugged Chen Zhi's neck, preparing to kiss him.

As a result, Su Man immediately poured cold water on the idea.

"However, that CEO Pei made a very strict additional condition." Su Man's tone turned serious. "For the next three years, you absolutely cannot officially announce any relationship. If the paparazzi get solid evidence, you'll face an astronomical penalty for breach of contract. Wanwan, tell me honestly, what stage are you and Chen Zhi at right now?"

Lin Wanwan looked at Chen Zhi in disbelief, her eyes reddening.

"You despise me?" Lin Wanwan's voice trembled with tears.

"No!" Chen Zhi protested, saying he was too busy liking Wanwan to even think about it.

Pei Ningxue's move was too insidious.

This isn't giving Lin Wanwan resources; it's practically putting a knife to Chen Zhi's throat!

"Then why did you add this condition?" Lin Wanwan pushed Chen Zhi away, tears welling in her eyes. "Do you think that now that you've got me, you don't want to take responsibility for me? You want to use a hundred million to get rid of me and make me live in the shadows for the next three years?"

"Wanwan, let me explain."

"I won't listen!" Lin Wanwan sniffed, tears streaming down her face, feeling utterly wronged.

Chen Zhi quickly moved over, forcibly pulled her into his arms, and hurriedly wiped away her tears.

"This really isn't my fault," Chen Zhi decisively shifted the blame. "Look at me, I've been with you every day these past few days. I've already handed over all company matters to the management team. That CFO I hired is a workaholic who only cares about money, not people. She must have been acting in the company's best interests, thinking that you're on the rise and that publicly announcing your relationship would seriously damage your commercial value, so she added this clause on her own!"

Chen Zhi started to smear Pei Ningxue: "That President Pei has a really strange temper. She likes to act like she's above everyone else at the company. I'm going to deduct her bonus from her salary!"

"Really?" Lin Wanwan looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears.

"More real than real gold!" Chen Zhi held up three fingers, swearing confidently, "If I'm lying to you, I'll never find a girlfriend in my life!"

Lin Wanwan burst into laughter through her tears and playfully punched Chen Zhi in the chest.

"You're just lying to me," Lin Wanwan said coquettishly. "You already have me, why make such useless vows?"

Chen Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief.

The "love brain" is truly the greatest invention in human history.

A few sweet words and a couple of gentle strokes are all it takes to appease her.

"Should I still sign this contract?" Lin Wanwan leaned on Chen Zhi's shoulder, looking somewhat conflicted. "If we get photographed, the penalty for breach of contract is a hundred million yuan. I couldn't afford to pay it even if I sold myself."

"Sign! Why wouldn't you sign?" Chen Zhi waved his hand dismissively, exuding an air of wealth and power. "Why not make money off the company? As for the official announcement, I'm ready to go public anytime you want. At worst, I'll just pay that 100 million yuan breach of contract fee out of my own pocket!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan was completely captivated.

She hugged Chen Zhi tightly, all her grievances instantly vanishing, and she offered him a sweet kiss.

"Honey, you're so good to me."

The two lingered in the private room for a while longer, until Su Man frantically urged them with WeChat messages, at which point Chen Zhi paid the bill and pulled Lin Wanwan out.

It's 10:30 p.m.

Chen Zhi took Lin Wanwan back to her hotel.

Watching Lin Wanwan's departing figure, Chen Zhi's smile vanished instantly.

He rubbed his stiff cheeks and hailed a taxi by the roadside.

"Master, Wanliu Academy."

Sitting in the back, Chen Zhi watched the night view rushing past the window, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Pei Ningxue is a woman who usually seems quiet and unassuming, but when she does make a move, it's always something big.

She was telling Chen Zhi in this way: If you want to play, I'll play with you, but I will definitely not let you have that much fun.

Chen Zhi took out his phone and opened Pei Ningxue's WeChat.

The chat history is still stuck on that "get lost" comment from this afternoon.

When I get back, I'll definitely show her what I'm capable of. She seems to have gotten a bit cocky lately.

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

Chen Zhi used facial recognition to enter the residential complex and took the elevator directly to the top-floor duplex.

He entered the password.

With two beeping sounds, the door lock popped open.

The main lights weren't on inside; only the floor lamp in the corner of the living room emitted a dim, yellowish glow.

Pei Ningxue was wearing a black silk slip dress, her legs crossed, and she was sitting lazily on the sofa.

She was looking at something on a tablet, and her already cool and aloof face appeared even whiter.

Hearing the door open, she slowly turned her head and her gaze fell on Chen Zhi.

"President Chen," Pei Ningxue said with a smile, "How was dinner?"

"I thought you wouldn't be able to come back tonight."
