Only after his reminder did Shen Zhiyi remember that there was such a thing.

But she had already thrown the jade pendant out the window and it was nowhere to be found. Where was she supposed to find it for him?

But she knew that if she told Xu Zhesheng, he might tell her to ask for another one.

She went to beg in the past because of love.

Now that her love has vanished, she is even less likely to expend so much energy trying to ensure the safety of his mistress.

She lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I found it. I'll give it to you tonight."

Xu Zhesheng then gave a satisfied "hmm" and turned to leave.

As Shen Zhiyi carried the panda out of the rented room, she realized that it had started to drizzle outside.

The rain wasn't heavy; it just drizzled down on me.

Shen Zhiyi carefully carried the panda towards the film set. At noon, her colleagues were all resting, so no one paid much attention to her.

Only Yu Meng'an, who was standing beside her, heard the sound and looked up. Seeing the panda in her arms, she asked curiously, "Sister Zhi, where did you get this panda plushie?"

Shen Zhiyi: "I found it on the road, it looks quite cute."

Yu Meng'an stared at the panda for a moment, noticing the dirt on it, and exclaimed, "This panda looks to be of very good quality and is very beautiful. It's just a little dirty; a wash will fix it. If it were me, I wouldn't throw it away!"

"Hmm, I'm going to take it home and wash it."

Shen Zhiyi gave a simple answer. She was not in good spirits and spoke weakly. There were still raindrops on her hair. Seeing this, Yu Meng'an did not say anything more and turned to lie down on the table to sleep.

Shen Zhiyi wiped the rain off herself with a tissue, then put the panda in the drawer and lay down to doze off for a while.

She didn't pay as much attention to detail in her afternoon work as before.

During her time with Su Manman, she had figured out what the other party wanted: a flawless face. So she edited Su Manman to look perfect, just like the AI, and sent the edited video to Su Manman at 5:30.

Su Manman waited in the dressing room on set. When she received the video from Shen Zhiyi, although she was very satisfied, she still found a few things she was not happy with and nitpicked them.

Shen Zhiyi made the revisions one by one according to her requirements. At 6:30, Xu Zhesheng finished filming. Su Manman then slowly came over and tapped on her desk, looking down at her: "Sister Zhi, the film was edited very quickly today. It seems your workload isn't as heavy as you said."

"I have a date with Ah Zhe later, so I'll let you off the hook for now. But you'd better be realistic. I'm carrying Ah Zhe's child. Even if you don't divorce him after he's born, there will still be a complicated relationship between him and me."

"I hope you can recognize your place and stop doing things that are thankless and exhausting. After all, we are both women, and seeing you like this really breaks my heart."

She curled her lips into a smile, saying she felt sorry for him, but there was no pity in her eyes, only smugness.

Shen Zhiyi nodded numbly, without even a thought of arguing.

Seeing that she remained silent, Su Manman assumed that Zhang Feng's arrival today had already given Shen Zhiyi a good beating. She gave a satisfied hum and then leisurely moved her feet toward Xu Zhesheng, who was already waiting at the door.

Xu Zhesheng supported Su Manman, but his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Shen Zhiyi.

To his disappointment, Shen Zhiyi was packing her things and didn't even spare a glance for them.

When I came out of the film set, it was almost seven o'clock.

Shen Zhiyi intended to take a taxi straight to the mall, but at that moment, a black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her.

The car window rolled down, revealing Lu Zichuan's extremely aggressive face.

"Get in the car."

His thin lips parted slightly, exuding an undeniable air of authority.

With so many people around, Shen Zhiyi didn't hesitate and opened the car door to get in.

The air conditioning was on in the car, and the temperature was just right—neither too cold nor too hot.

A computer was placed in front of Lu Zichuan. Shen Zhiyi glanced at it and saw that it looked like files or something similar.

They must be handling official business.

She always had a good sense of propriety and would never look at things she shouldn't, so she only glanced at them before looking away.

Ten minutes later, the car finally drove out of the film set.

Shen Zhiyi hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Lu, could we go to the mall first?"

Lu Zichuan then looked up at her and caught a glimpse of the panda in her arms. A glint of light flashed in his very pale eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

He didn't say anything, but gave the driver in front a look, who immediately understood and turned around to head straight for the largest shopping mall in Beijing.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. I'm going to buy something and I'll be right back. You can wait for me here."

Upon arriving at the mall, Shen Zhiyi thanked Lu Zichuan and then prepared to open the car door to get out.

After calmly putting away the computer in front of him, Lu Zichuan said, "I'll go with you."

Shen Zhiyi was taken aback and looked at him in confusion.

Lu Zichuan remained expressionless: "I want to buy things too."

Shen Zhiyi thought to herself, "You're such a big CEO, what do you want? Wouldn't your assistant just deliver it to your door? Why do you have to go shopping yourself?"

But she didn't say it out loud, and just silently followed behind Lu Zichuan.

She had a clear goal: she went straight to the jewelry store and said to the clerk, "Give me a jade pendant for peace, the most ordinary one will do."

The shop assistant couldn't help but smile when he saw the man behind her, dressed simply but who could actually buy their store's prized possession in a single garment. He then took out several jade pendants and recommended them to Shen Zhiyi.

"Madam, take a look at this one. Our store manager personally took it to the temple to pray for blessings. It has a very auspicious meaning. Wearing it will surely bring you success in your career and peace and prosperity."

"We're having a promotion right now, these items are only a little over 100,000 yuan each, which isn't usually the price!"

Shen Zhiyi looked down and saw that although the jade pieces were good, they were very different from the one she had thrown away.

Moreover, the price was high. She just wanted to find a similar piece of jade to Su Manman as a substitute, and didn't want to spend that much money.

She pointed to a piece of jade placed in the far corner, saying, "Give me this one."

The piece she pointed to was the cheapest, costing only around eight hundred yuan in total. The shop assistant's face immediately fell, but she still tried to maintain a smile.

"Madam, that piece looks nice, but it's not even real jade. It's synthetic, so wearing it might not be a good idea."

Shen Zhiyi: "Will it harm pregnant women?"

"No, it just doesn't have any blessing effect."

After confirming that it would not cause any harm to anyone, Shen Zhiyi was completely relieved. "Then wrap it up for me."

The shop assistant's gaze kept lingering on Lu Zichuan. Seeing that he didn't seem inclined to speak, she reluctantly pouted and took out the cheapest piece.

Shen Zhiyi had finished buying her things and was about to leave when Lu Zichuan stepped up.

He ignored the glittering jewels in the display case and pointed directly to the necklace inlaid with sapphires and diamonds placed in the center of the exhibition area.

The necklace was designed with simplicity in mind yet was extremely luxurious. It shimmered with a cold radiance under the lights, and the price tag had so many zeros that it was dizzying.

"I'll take this one."
