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

Su Manman, who was being protected behind Xu Zhesheng, had her eyes lowered, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards into a tiny arc, like the excitement of a hunter seeing his prey fall into a trap.

She quickly adjusted her breathing, making herself appear even more delicate, and gently tugged at Xu Zhesheng's sleeve, her voice barely audible:

"Ah Zhe, Auntie, please stop arguing... It's all my fault. If I weren't pregnant, Zhi-jie wouldn't be so angry..."

The more she said that, the more aggressive Shen Zhiyi seemed.

Xu Zhesheng felt the pull of his clothes and looked down at Su Manman, his eyes filled with obvious reassurance and indulgence.

He immediately raised his eyes, his gaze shooting at Shen Zhiyi like an icy blade. His expression was not simply anger, but rather an arrogant disdain for having his authority offended.

He ignored Su Manman's attempts to mediate, because he didn't need to explain anything to Shen Zhiyi.

Zhang Feng is right. Over the years, his films have been steadily climbing the ladder of success. Although Shen Zhiyi deserves credit for her editing skills, in general, without him, she would have had no opportunity to showcase her editing abilities.

He's been quite indulgent with her these past few days, and last night he even told her to think it over carefully, but now it seems she shows absolutely no remorse!

He stepped forward, completely shielding Su Manman with his tall frame, and addressed Shen Zhiyi, each word spoken with an unquestionable command:

"Shen Zhiyi, that's enough. Manman needs to rest now, so this room is for her this afternoon. As for you..."

He paused, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, as if he were bestowing a handout.

"If you want to sleep, you can make do on the sofa in the living room. Or, if you feel uncomfortable, you can use your own money to rent another place."

After saying that, he didn't even bother to look at Shen Zhiyi's reaction, and directly turned to Zhang Feng and said, "Mom, put all her things in the corner, so they don't trip Manman."

Seeing that her son was no longer biased towards Shen Zhiyi as he had been that night, Zhang Feng was overjoyed.

She quickly exclaimed "Hey!" and then glared at Shen Zhiyi before taking out more things from the room. The dolls Shen Zhiyi had bought and the clothes that were placed there were thrown out and scattered messily on the floor.

Shen Zhiyi has been renting this house for a long time, ever since Xu Zhesheng started filming here, which is about four years. Because she rarely stays overnight here, Shen Zhiyi has never felt that she has too much stuff.

It wasn't until Zhang Feng threw everything out that she realized that even though the house looked simple, there was actually a lot to clean up.

The most glaring thing was the panda doll that rolled down at Xu Zhesheng's feet.

Both she and Xu Zhesheng love pandas. After their wedding, they specially chose Chuandu, a place known for its pandas, for their honeymoon. After visiting the panda base, they were reluctant to leave, so they bought two panda plush toys outside, one with a blue hat and the other with a pink hat.

Shen Zhiyi still remembers how she used to pester Xu Zhesheng, saying that the panda in the blue hat was him and the panda in the pink hat was herself, and that she would take the panda with her wherever she went, so that it would represent that they would always be by each other's side.

At that time, Xu Zhesheng was always immersed in the film set. Apart from the few hours he went home to sleep at night, he spent most of his time here. So Shen Zhiyi brought her own pink panda hat.

Xu Zhesheng couldn't understand her behavior, so Shen Zhiyi smiled and took his hand, saying:

"I know you work very hard, and I can't share your burden, but I hope it can always be there for you. When you're feeling frustrated, just tap its head—consider it taking your anger out on me!"

She spoke so shamelessly back then that Xu Zhesheng was amused.

However, at that time, the two had just gotten married, and it was when Xu Zhesheng's feelings for her were the most intense. Therefore, even though he said he disliked it, he still put the panda by his bedside.

Every time Shen Zhiyi went to visit him at his rented apartment, she felt like she was with him whenever she saw that panda.

Now, it rolled to Xu Zhesheng's feet, but he didn't even glance at it before stepping inside.

Su Manman stood still, following Shen Zhiyi's gaze to the panda. A woman's sixth sense kicked in, and she immediately realized that this panda must have special meaning for Shen Zhiyi. She winked provocatively, stomped on the panda plushie with the sole of her shoe, and walked into the bedroom.

Shen Zhiyi was left alone in the living room.

She stared at the panda for a long time before pursing her lips and walking over to pick it up.

Su Manman's kick made the panda's white fur dirty. Shen Zhiyi carefully wiped it clean with her hands before standing up.

There were still many of her things inside, but she took nothing with her except the panda.

As he reached the door, Xu Zhesheng suddenly remembered something, came out of the room, and called out to her, "Shen Zhiyi."

Shen Zhiyi stopped in her tracks, but did not turn around.

Xu Zhesheng strode up to her, his gaze falling on the panda in her arms. He paused, as if remembering something, "This panda..."

"Tell me quickly, I need to use my own money to find a house."

Shen Zhiyi interrupted him, emphasizing the phrase "her own money."

Ironically, although she was just a small-time editor, Xu Zhesheng earned the money for his first film little by little through his own skills.

Back then, he was unknown and could only ever work as an assistant on set. Sometimes, he would be grateful to be even a deputy director, but in the end, his name wasn't even mentioned in the movies.

Shen Zhiyi couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the initiative to go out and take on editing jobs. Whether it was movies, TV series, animation, or variety shows, she would learn everything that editing could do.

She was hardworking and dedicated, working 24/7 to edit videos, and the quality of her work was quite good. As a result, many people sought her out, and she gradually saved up her money.

But to save face for Hsu Che-sheng, she still hasn't told him that his first film had no investors at all, and it was all her money!

Later, when he became a little more famous, she reduced her workload and devoted herself to editing his videos, even accepting only the basic salary.

But in the eyes of the Xu family, she was someone who lived off Xu Zhesheng.

Xu Zhesheng sensed her dissatisfaction, and his expression darkened, but then softened again:

"Shen Zhiyi, your emotions have been a bit unstable these past few days. Once this film is finished, I'll give you some time off. You can go on a trip or hang out with your best friend Tan Gui. Once you've adjusted your mindset, you can come back to work."

This was exactly what Shen Zhiyi wanted to do.

The movie will be finished in a month, and this will be the last time she helps him. She has already discussed with Lu Zichuan that she will go to work at his company. She was worried about how to bring it up with Xu Zhesheng, but she didn't expect him to bring it up himself.

Shen Zhiyi nodded, her face expressionless: "Okay."

"Besides, didn't I ask you to find the Peace Jade last time? It's been several days, and you still haven't found it?"

Seeing that she had no objection, Xu Zhesheng was somewhat surprised, but he didn't say much, only caring about what he wanted.
