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

"I can tell." Yang Chun'er sniffed, finally picked up the cup of coffee, which was already half cold, and took a sip. "It's so bitter."

She put down her cup, looked up at Shen Zhiyi, and the hostility in her eyes had mostly dissipated, replaced by a complex and indescribable emotion.

"I believe you," she suddenly said.

Shen Zhiyi looked up at her.

"But I don't trust him." Yang Chun'er bit her lip. "He's making you his date while he's also having an affair with Pei Jin. What exactly is he trying to do?"

"You'll have to ask him," Shen Zhiyi said calmly. "I can't give you an answer."

Yang Chun'er remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.

"Okay." She stood up, picked up the expensive bag, and stopped abruptly at the door without turning around. "Shen Zhiyi."

"Um?"

"Although I don't understand what your relationship with Brother Zichuan is, I want to say that you are better than Pei Jin. If you were standing next to him, at least I would have a competitor. But if it's Pei Jin, I really have no way to compete with him."

His voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh, and stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder: "Don't think too much. Whether it's me or Pei Jin, what you need to do now is become a better version of yourself. Then, you can choose Lu Zichuan, Liu Zichuan, or Zhao Zichuan."

Yang Chun'er was amused by her and glared at her: "Get lost! What's with all this 'Liu Zichuan' and 'Zhao Zichuan' stuff? It's awful!"

"Are you free at noon? Shall I treat you to lunch?"

She didn't have anything else to do anyway, and besides, she had always felt that Shen Zhiyi was pleasing to the eye, so it would be nice to be friends with her.

Shen Zhiyi sensed her goodwill and smiled, "Okay, then I want to eat the expensive stuff."

"Tch, looking at your greedy attitude, I'm even more convinced that Brother Zichuan probably wouldn't like someone like you."

Yang Chun'er poked the back of her hand and said.

"You still care what kind of person he likes?" Shen Zhiyi glanced at her amusedly. "So, what I just said was pointless?"

"Sure enough, what your dad said makes a lot of sense. His brain is completely mush."

"Shen Zhiyi! How dare you talk back to me like that? I'll beat you to death!"

As the conversation flowed, the misunderstanding between the two dissipated, and Yang Chun'er reverted to her spoiled young lady persona.

The atmosphere between the two was even better than before.

"I get off work at noon. Do you want to go shopping or just wait for me here?"

Shen Zhiyi looked up at her watch; there was still an hour until midnight.

Yang Chun'er tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I'll stay here. You can tell me about your editing. There must be a reason why Brother Zichuan recruited you. For his sake, I want to learn editing too!"

Shen Zhiyi looked at her like she was an idiot again. Yang Chun'er got annoyed and her face turned bright red: "Fine, fine, it's not really for him. I did study film in college, but you know, I didn't do well. Just give me some advice!"

At noon, Shen Zhiyi left work on time.

The other employees had already handed over their morning tasks to her. After confirming that everything was in order, she and Yang Chun'er left the General Star's office together.

But as fate would have it, as soon as I stepped outside, I ran into the person I least wanted to see.

Su Manman, wearing sunglasses and a pink dress, stood alone at the entrance of Jiangxing, looking around listlessly.

Shen Zhiyi then remembered that Lu Zichuan had mentioned to her that Xu Zhesheng was coming to the company today.

I just didn't expect him to bring Su Manman along too.

However, considering that the two are now getting married, perhaps this is not surprising.

She looked away and led Yang Chun'er toward the nearby shopping district.

She wanted to pretend she didn't see Su Manman, but the other person didn't think so.

"Shen Zhiyi!"

With a sharp shout, Shen Zhiyi couldn't pretend she hadn't heard it.

She didn't stop walking, but Yang Chun'er beside her stopped and pulled her along, "Someone is calling you."

Shen Zhiyi said, "Ignore it."

"But she caught up with us."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Manman walked up to them.

Didn't you hear me calling you?

Her arrogant demeanor made it seem as if Shen Zhiyi owed her money.

"What good news do you have for me?"

Since the person had already walked right up to her, she couldn't pretend not to see them, so she retorted.

Su Manman wasn't annoyed by her behavior; instead, she smiled and leaned closer, sizing her up.

The clothes she wore today were her own, and they weren't nearly as exquisite as the ones she wore at the banquet a couple of days ago.

However, that face was still excessively beautiful.

A hint of disgust flashed in Su Manman's eyes. "I had heard that you had started working for President Lu, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"These people, as expected, forget their original identity once they find a better place to go. The way that movie was edited made Ah Zhe have to work overtime to re-edit it these past two days. I don't know how President Lu dared to hire you."

She was referring to Xu Zhesheng's upcoming film. Due to the extremely disjointed post-production, Lu Zichuan and his team assessed that if the film were released as is, the box office would be disastrous.

But this has nothing to do with Shen Zhiyi.

Before she could speak, Yang Chun'er recognized her.

"Su Manman?" She frowned, looked the person up and down, and shook her head: "No wonder I heard a lot of bad things about you before. After meeting you today, it's indeed as the rumors say."

"Rumors?" Su Manman paused for a moment, noticing her well-dressed appearance and the suggestive tone in her words, before asking, "What rumors?"

As a celebrity, she's heard all sorts of rumors and gossip, but when bad things reach her ears, she naturally has to listen.

"They say you're average-looking, have a 50/50 body proportion, and love to seduce people."

Yang Chun'er said sarcastically.

These words were not something she had overheard, but rather a conclusion she drew from Shen Zhiyi's words and what she had personally witnessed.

"Tsk, that's really strange. I've never met Director Xu in person, but I've seen him on TV receiving awards. He's quite handsome, so why would he choose an ordinary-looking girl like you over such a beautiful woman like Shen Zhiyi?"

"At the very least, isn't it easy for this director to find a beautiful woman? There are so many pretty girls in the entertainment industry, why did he have to choose such an ordinary one?"

"Hey, Shen Zhiyi, does your ex-husband have something wrong with his eyes?"

When Yang Chun'er acts yin and yang, it doesn't make people feel that she is really doing it; instead, she appears serious and carries genuine doubt.

Su Manman's face flushed red with anger, and Shen Zhiyi was amused by her words.

However, that wasn't the point. She smiled and then looked at Su Manman: "I followed Director Xu's instructions from beginning to end when editing that movie. I showed you and him every frame in advance. If the editing was bad, it means that his directing ability was not up to standard, and your aesthetic sense is also not good. It has nothing to do with me."

"As for why President Lu wants me, if you have the chance, go and ask him yourself."

"It can't be because I'm good-looking, right?"

Perhaps influenced by Yang Chun'er, Shen Zhiyi also started joking.

The very next second, the person she was talking about appeared not far away.

Xu Zhesheng and Lu Zichuan walked over side by side.
