Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

"Xu Zhesheng! Let me go!"

Realizing his intention, Shen Zhiyi struggled even more fiercely.

The wound at her appendix showed faint signs of tearing, but she didn't care. She twisted her body frantically, trying to escape Xu Zhesheng's control.

But when she escaped with her left hand, her right hand was grabbed back.

The man's breath sprayed onto her body, hot and intense, making her extremely uncomfortable.

"After all these years, how come you're still so easily amused?"

Xu Zhesheng assumed she was just shy and continued to approach her step by step.

Passionate kisses landed on her face, neck, and ears, tickling and tingling.

Having known each other for many years, Xu Zhesheng always knew her sensitive points.

Shen Zhiyi dodged and blocked, her fingernails suddenly slashing across Xu Zhesheng's face, leaving a cut with a "sizzle".

The stinging pain stopped Xu Zhesheng in his tracks. He raised his hand to touch the painful spot and found faint traces of blood flowing out.

Shen Zhiyi had never struggled so violently before. Xu Zhesheng thought she was just pretending to refuse and cooperating.

But now his patience was running out. He grabbed her still fidgeting hand and said in a deep voice, "Zhizhi, a little struggle is fun, but if you keep struggling, it's not good."

Shen Zhiyi's abdominal wound was getting more and more painful, but she dared not show the slightest fear.

She glared at Xu Zhesheng, furious, and said, "Xu Zhesheng! Are you out of your mind?! I have absolutely no such thoughts!"

"Please leave!"

Because she was angry, her chest heaved violently as she spoke, but even so, she hugged herself tightly and pointed firmly to the door.

"What? Just because Mr. Lu gave you some ointment, you think you've found a new market?"

"Shen Zhiyi! Have you forgotten? You're married! You're my wife, Xu Zhesheng's wife! Doing this kind of thing is perfectly natural!"

Xu Zhesheng stared at her for a long time, confirming that she was truly rejecting him, and the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time surged up.

He knew he owed Su Manman because of her, but didn't he make it up to her?

They made a scene yesterday, and they're making a scene again today. How can we possibly live like this?

He was already exhausted from spending his days with Su Manman and supervising the film set. All he wanted when he got home was Shen Zhiyi's gentle care and attention, not this.

"Xu Zhesheng! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Shen Zhiyi originally didn't want to argue with him, but his words were so unpleasant that she got angry.

"Mr. Lu, it's just a bit of ointment and you're this angry? And you and Su Manman are both pregnant! What did I say?!"

"Besides, even if we're married, you can't force me if I don't want to; otherwise, it's marital rape!"

"I can sue you! A renowned director being sued, are you sure you don't consider the consequences?"

She glared angrily at the man in front of her, feeling that he was a complete stranger.

Their sex life hasn't been particularly harmonious in the past five years. He's focused on his creative work and doesn't have much interest in sex. It's usually only twice a month at most. But today, I don't know what's gotten into him. He's acting like he's taken an aphrodisiac!

In the past, Shen Zhiyi would have felt happy, but now, just thinking about how he and Su Manman stood together, how he carried her away without caring about her, and the special treatment he gave Su Manman on set, made her feel disgusted!

They're both married, so why does he have the audacity to think she should just go along with him?

She, Shen Zhiyi, isn't some innocent victim!

How could she possibly sleep with her husband without feeling guilty after finding out that he was having an affair and that his wife was pregnant?

"In the end, it's all because of Manman."

Xu Zhesheng accurately grasped the meaning behind Shen Zhiyi's words, and he felt both happy and annoyed.

On the one hand, he was certain that Shen Zhiyi didn't stop loving him, but was still angry with him and Su Manman; on the other hand, he felt that he had already explained it to her, and besides, it was she who hadn't been able to get pregnant for five years. Now that someone could help her have a child, she wouldn't have to face her family's pressure to have children anymore. It was a win-win situation, so why did she have to keep making a fuss?

He was clearly doing it for her own good!

Why can't she understand?

Xu Zhesheng looked at Shen Zhiyi's face, his eyes filled with disappointment: "Zhiyi, I've explained this so many times, why can't you understand me?"

Shen Zhiyi was so angry at his appearance that she wanted to laugh. She was the victim, so why did he act like he was the one who had been wronged?

"Fine, I can understand if you want me to. I'll find a man and get pregnant too, so you'll both have one child and I'll have one child as well. Would you accept that?!"

"Shen Zhiyi! How dare you!"

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Zhesheng abruptly interrupted her, his narrow phoenix eyes filled with murderous intent. Shen Zhiyi knew that if she really did that, Xu Zhesheng might just strangle her.

"Why wouldn't I dare! If you dare, why shouldn't I!"

After five years of marriage, she naturally knew where to stab him more painfully. In the past, she didn't want to make him angry, so she always tolerated him, even if it meant suffering a loss herself, she still wanted him to be happy.

But seeing his hypocritical behavior now, she was determined to make him uncomfortable too.

She tilted her head back and glared at him, her eyes full of provocation.

"you!"

Xu Zhesheng raised his hand high.

"What? You want to hit me? You're allowed to do it, but I'm not?"

"How come I never noticed you were so hypocritical before!"

Seeing his expression, Shen Zhi was so angry that she pressed her face even closer, as if to say, "Go ahead and beat me to death if you dare."

Xu Zhesheng's hand remained frozen in the air for a few seconds before he slowly lowered it.

His chest heaved, as if he was extremely angry with Shen Zhiyi.

But after a few seconds, he regained consciousness.

Shen Zhiyi loves him so much, and she hasn't had a single man in her life all these years, so how could she possibly cheat on him?

She was just saying it in anger.

But the fact that she could say such a thing is infuriating enough.

Xu Zhesheng frowned: "It's okay to say things in anger. I know it's hard for you to accept this. I'll give you some more time."

"I believe you won't let me down."

After saying that, he got off the bed, put on his shoes, and left Shen Zhiyi's room.

After Xu Zhesheng left, Shen Zhiyi climbed off the bed as if all her strength had been drained. She stumbled to the door, locked it, put on the safety chain, and braced herself against the door with her shoulder.

Only after confirming that the door could no longer stop the man did she slide down the door panel and sit on the ground.

The struggle she had just endured had left her drenched in sweat, but she no longer had the strength to wash herself again.

Cold sweat soaked her pajamas, and waves of excruciating pain in her appendix reminded her of what she had just experienced.

Tired, so very tired.

I'm physically tired, and mentally tired too.

She and Xu Zhesheng had unknowingly drifted apart.

She couldn't understand him, and neither could he.

She didn't understand why the two of them were still entangled at this point, and she wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Touching her phone, the light from the screen illuminated her pale face.

She typed out each word carefully: "I want to divorce Xu Zhesheng and settle our assets."
