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

Shen Zhiyi was slightly taken aback, but she had a general idea of ​​what was going on. It was probably because of Lu Zichuan.

However, this is also good, as it saves a lot of communication costs and time.

perfect.

She was fully focused on her work until 5:30 p.m. when she finally had a short break.

She meticulously checked her assigned section, along with those of her colleagues, to ensure there were no oversights. After sending the packaged files to Lu Zichuan, she took off her headphones, got up to get a glass of water in the break area, and waited to leave work.

At the same time, she sent Tan Gui a message: "What are we having for dinner?"

I thought Tan Zhi wouldn't reply for a long time, but she replied almost instantly: "Zhi Zhi, I have something to do tonight, so I won't be having dinner with you. (emoji) I'll bring you something delicious when I get back!"

Shen Zhiyi keenly noticed the difference in her tone.

If she has to work overtime, Tan Gui will definitely start complaining that her boss is a complete idiot.

But she didn't; she simply brushed it off with "I had something to do."

It's hard for Shen Zhiyi not to think of the fact that she didn't come home all night yesterday.

You're in love.

She was concise and to the point; even the last punctuation mark wasn't a question mark, but a firm statement.

However, Tan Gui did not reply after the message was sent.

Shen Zhiyi smiled slightly, but she was genuinely happy for her best friend.

Tan Gui's parents divorced when she was very young, which led her to always have a distrustful attitude towards relationships.

When she was a student, she was focused on studying. If someone pursued her, she would stay far away. After starting work, she was only concerned with building her career. She spent all her time either in the research lab or in the hospital ward. This is why she has achieved such a high status at such a young age.

She is already 28 years old this year, but she has never even been in a relationship.

Shen Zhiyi used to doubt that she would remain single for life, but now that she knows that she has a new situation, she is genuinely happy for her.

At 6 p.m., Shen Zhiyi and her team left work on time.

It was rush hour, but instead of squeezing onto the bus, she went to a supermarket near her company to buy some groceries.

After getting married, she stopped liking takeout as much, always feeling that she couldn't see the process of making food and was worried about its cleanliness.

Even if I do just a little bit, I feel at ease.

The supermarket wasn't crowded, but she always felt like there was a gaze following her like a shadow.

But every time she turned around suddenly, she saw nothing.

This feeling was unpleasant; it even made the hairs on the back of her head stand on end.

She bought a few things and hurriedly left the supermarket to take the subway.

The subway was crowded, and there were no empty seats, so she had to stand by the door and hold onto the handrail. But the feeling of being stared at kept resurfacing.

She pursed her lips, pretending to play on her phone nonchalantly, but suddenly turned around and her gaze swept quickly across the crowd.

As far as she could see, people were either looking down at their phones, chatting with those around them, or even taking a nap during their commute...

No, not a single suspicious person.

Shen Zhiyi's brows furrowed even more.

She didn't think it was a small matter.

She trusted her intuition; someone was definitely following her.

But she wasn't sure who it was.

She was in the open, while the other was in the shadows; no one would feel good in that situation.

But she also knew that the more eager she was to find someone, the more deeply the other person would hide.

Her hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously as she tried to block out that strange gaze from her mind.

There is a shortcut back to the neighborhood after getting off the subway; it only takes ten minutes to walk.

But the gaze behind her never left her, and even though it wasn't completely dark yet, Shen Zhiyi didn't dare to walk on the sparsely populated path.

She thought about it for a moment, then took a detour and decided to walk on the main road instead.

Just then, her phone rang.

She was startled, and her phone almost slipped from her hand, but she quickly caught it.

Upon opening the caller ID, I was surprised to find that the caller ID showed Lu Zichuan.

The moment she saw that name, her previously flustered heart suddenly calmed down in a strange way.

"Feed".

Without hesitation, she pressed the answer button.

"Are you home?"

Lu Zichuan's voice came through the receiver. It was quiet on his end, so he was probably still in his office.

As Shen Zhiyi walked, she replied, "Not yet, but we'll be there soon."

Lu Zichuan sat in the boss's chair, looking at the mountain of documents on the table, and rubbed his temples.

There's been a lot of work going on at the company lately, so even if he doesn't want to work overtime, he has to.

I spent most of the afternoon in meetings, and those people and things wore me down to the point of losing all my patience. My mind was in complete turmoil.

But inexplicably, the moment I heard her voice, all my agitation subsided.

"Why didn't you take the back road?" He heard the noise of traffic coming from her side.

Shen Zhiyi hesitated, wondering whether she should tell him that she was being followed.

But after thinking about it, I still felt there was no need to say it.

She's almost at the entrance of the residential area; she can ask someone for help.

"Well, I've been sitting for too long, so I wanted to get some exercise," she casually offered as an excuse.

"Really?" Lu Zichuan chuckled softly, as if he could picture her walking down the street.

"Be careful on the road," he advised.

Shen Zhiyi nodded, then realized he couldn't see her movements on the other end of the phone, so she replied softly, "Okay. Are you still working overtime?"

Even though it was just a casual greeting, Lu Zichuan genuinely felt her concern, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips: "Yes, it'll be over soon."

"Thank you for your hard work," Shen Zhiyi said.

The call was abrupt and disjointed, more like a call made suddenly by a couple who missed each other.

But Shen Zhiyi didn't feel disgusted. Perhaps it was because Lu Zichuan was talking in her ear that the unsettling gaze behind her seemed less important.

The call between the two continued until she arrived home.

They didn't say anything important the whole time, but neither of them hung up first.

It wasn't until Shen Zhiyi said, "I'm home," that things changed.

Lu Zichuan slowly spoke, "Okay, then I'll hang up."

Even so, when Shen Zhiyi took the phone away from her ear, the screen still showed that a call was in progress.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment, figuring he was probably busy and forgot to hang up.

So he took matters into his own hands and gently ended the call.

As she watched the screen go dark, an indescribable emotion welled up inside her, so fast that she couldn't grasp it.

She sat on the sofa for a short while, then got up to prepare to cook.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

One sound after another, sounding particularly jarring in the quiet room.

Tan Gui clearly said she wouldn't be home for dinner tonight, so it couldn't be her at this hour.

Her other friends never visit unexpectedly, and as for her family, Shen Zhiyi thinks it's impossible.

Apart from Lu Zichuan and Tan Gui, almost no one knew that she lived here.

Suddenly, she remembered the gaze that had followed her all the way.

The things in my hands scattered on the ground with a "whoosh," and my heart jumped into my throat.

However, the doorbell kept ringing.
