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

Later, when they arrived at his house, he didn't speak for her once or defend her from any difficulties.

After briefly introducing her to his parents, he went straight back to his room, leaving her alone in the living room, awkwardly enduring the scrutinizing gaze of his parents.

She still remembers that moment of utter isolation and helplessness.

Even though she knew that her relationship with Lu Zichuan was fake, Shen Zhiyi would subconsciously imagine what it would be like for Lu Zichuan to bring her real future person back in the future.

Life can't possibly be lived the same way for everyone...

She once again felt that her divorce was a very important and correct decision.

She used to be so influenced by her preconceived notions and outdated ways of thinking that she couldn't see the real direction. Now, she feels that she has gained more experience.

And in the future, she will see even more.

Thinking of this, she smiled and nodded emphatically to Lu Zichuan: "Okay!"

The two walked through a side door and along a path paved with bluestone slabs. A faint fragrance of flowers wafted in the air. After passing through an archway covered with vines, a spacious open-air garden appeared before them.

As dusk approached, strings of small yellow lights lit up in the garden, like fallen starlight hanging among the branches and leaves.

In the center of the garden, there was a set of rattan table and chairs, around which several people were sitting and chatting.

Although Lu Han ran out first, his short legs prevented him from gaining much of a lead.

The little guy skipped and hopped forward, and when he was almost in front of the crowd, he quickened his pace and lunged forward, shouting, "Great-Grandma! Great-Grandpa! Dad! Mom! Uncle and Aunt are back!"

Lu Ziyang, who had been sitting in the wicker chair chatting with Lu Xiaojing, was already used to his daughter's antics. He stood up and steadily caught the little figure as she pounced on him, gently placing her on the ground and tapping her nose: "How many times have I told you, you need to walk properly. What if Daddy didn't catch you?"

Lu Han blinked her big eyes with a grin: "No, Daddy won't let Hanhan fall and get hurt~"

"You child!" Lu Ziyang feigned anger and gently flicked her forehead.

"Zichuan and his girlfriend are back?" Lu Xiaojing, with her sharp ears, immediately sat up straight in her chair upon hearing this, and was about to get up while holding onto the armrest.

Lu Zhentian quickly followed his wife. Bai Qinghua, holding her daughter's hand with one hand and supporting Lu Xiaojing with the other, also walked back.

They happened to run into Lu Zichuan and Shen Zhiyi, who had just walked over.

"Grandpa and Grandma." Lu Zichuan spoke first, his gaze sweeping over everyone, "Eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law."

He took a slight step to the side, fully revealing Shen Zhiyi, and said calmly and confidently, "This is Shen Zhiyi, my girlfriend."

When he said the word "girlfriend," he showed no sign of guilt, and one could even detect a hint of... pride.

Shen Zhiyi didn't have time to ponder the subtle emotions in his tone at the moment.

She took a deep breath, stepped forward, and smiled gently at everyone: "Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, Big Brother, and Big Sister-in-law, I'm Shen Zhiyi, you can just call me Zhizhi."

The dusty blue silk dress she wore today made her skin look fair and radiant. Her long hair was loosely draped behind her, and she exuded a gentle and quiet elegance, making people feel comfortable just by standing there. Lu Xiaojing looked at her, her mouth almost stretching to her ears in a grin.

"Oh, good child, come here quickly, let Grandma take a look."

Lu Xiaojing waved to her, and Bai Qinghua naturally moved aside to make room for her.

Shen Zhiyi stepped forward, not rushing to sit down, but gently taking Lu Xiaojing's arm: "Grandma, please walk slowly, I'll help you."

Her voice was sweet and soft, yet neither humble nor arrogant.

Lu Xiaojing was even more satisfied; this child was not only good-looking, but also well-mannered.

Although she had seen the photos on her phone before, she was even more stunning in person. Especially when she stood next to Zichuan, the way they looked so well-matched made her overjoyed.

She patted Shen Zhiyi's hand and said with a smile, "You must be tired from coming all this way. Come on, let's go to the inner room. Go tell the kitchen to prepare dinner."

From the moment Shen Zhiyi appeared, Lu Xiaojing's eyes never left her.

Lu Zichuan, worried she might feel uncomfortable, walked to her side. Seeing her supporting her grandmother, he naturally went to Lu Zhentian's side and reached out to help, saying, "Grandpa, take it easy."

Lu Zhentian glanced at him and couldn't help but snort, "You brat, now that you have a girlfriend, you know how to show off? Why didn't you ever help me up before?"

Lu Zichuan remained unfazed: "Grandpa is still very strong despite his age; he can walk whether you help him or not."

Hearing this, Lu Zhentian burst into laughter, then turned to Shen Zhiyi, a mischievous glint in his eyes: "Zhiyi, right? Has this kid ever bullied you? If he has, come tell me, and I'll help you get revenge."

Shen Zhiyi's lips curved into a smile at the old man's words, but before she could reply, He Shuyun's voice came from behind her:

"Mom and Dad! Ziyang! Tsinghua! Come quick!"

She strode in, followed by a row of servants, carrying and holding gift boxes that Shen Zhiyi and Lu Zichuan had picked out at the mall.

He Shuyun's face was beaming with undisguised joy: "Zhizhi is such a thoughtful child! Not only did she come, but she also prepared gifts for each of us!"

Hearing the word "gift," Lu Han, held in Lu Ziyang's arms, immediately twisted her little body, trying to jump down: "What gift? Is there any for Hanhan?"

Seeing his daughter's disappointing state, Lu Ziyang's brow twitched: "Hanhan, if you act like this, people will think your parents mistreat you."

As Lu Han ran towards the gifts, she turned back and exclaimed in her childish voice, "It's different! This is the first gift my beautiful second aunt gave me!"

Everyone was amused by her explanation and gathered around her.

Lu Zichuan came over with Shen Zhiyi. Shen Zhiyi was in charge of distributing the boxes, and he stood behind her handing them out. They worked together smoothly, looking quite like a harmonious couple.

When have the Lu family ever seen Lu Zichuan so well-behaved?

He Shuyun and Lu Xiaojing exchanged a glance, and smiles appeared in their eyes at the same time.

Lu Ziyang raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards Lu Zichuan carrying a hint of "You've finally figured it out."

Even the usually serious Lu Zhentian had a slight smile on his lips.

Shen Zhiyi first handed the tea gift box to the two elderly people: "Grandpa and Grandma, I heard you like to drink tea, so I bought this especially for you. Please don't be offended if it doesn't taste good; I don't know much about tea, so I asked Achuan for advice..."

To be honest, she didn't take all the credit for choosing the gifts.

Lu Xiaojing took the box, opened it, and smelled it closely. Her eyes lit up: "Hmm, not bad! It's top-quality white tea! Zhizhi has excellent taste!"

Lu Zhentian loved tea, and seeing his wife nod in agreement, he curiously came over.

The moment the lid was lifted, a rich aroma of Pu'er tea wafted out. He took a deep breath and gave Shen Zhiyi an approving look: "I like this tea."

As he spoke, he gave Lu Zichuan a reproachful look: "This child, I asked you to buy me tea before, and you just had your assistant pick out a random can. Luckily, Zhizhi was here this time, otherwise I don't know how I would have managed to give you this gift!"

Lu Zichuan stood behind Shen Zhiyi, gave a soft "hmm", and looked at her profile with gentle eyes: "Then let her choose for you from now on."
