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

Shen Zhiyi thought that Lu Zichuan must be addicted to being a CEO.

Even a casual remark could sound like a command to her.

But she didn't mind.

Perhaps it was because he was so handsome, or perhaps it was because what he said made sense, or perhaps it was because his last words rekindled her hope, but she picked up her chopsticks and, even though her stomach was already bloated, she still stuffed the meat in the bowl into her mouth, bite by bite.

Lu Zichuan sat quietly opposite her, watching her put the last bite of meat into her mouth before handing her a water glass: "So eager to get a divorce and divide the property?"

Shen Zhiyi nodded vigorously while swallowing: "Yes, please help me, Mr. Lu."

As she lowered her head to drink water, Lu Zichuan's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, causing the waiter standing by, ready to serve her, to lose his composure.

Meanwhile, Su Manman walked ahead angrily. Xu Zhesheng originally wanted to go forward to stop her, but he was also a little curious about what kind of meeting would take place in that kind of environment.

A French meal can easily take two hours, and if it's for business, a group of men don't need to be so romantic.

After thinking it over, I realized that the person who had dinner with Lu Zichuan must be someone very special to him.

Since they met in college, Lu Zichuan has been surrounded by countless women, yet there has never been any talk of him having an affair with any of them. After he started working, it was said that he was completely focused on his work, and to prevent himself from becoming obsessed with women, he even specifically instructed his assistant to be male. Despite being the president of an entertainment company, he has never had a meal or a drink with any of his female artists, and there have even been rumors that he is gay.

Now that he could witness his gossip firsthand, Xu Zhesheng felt a strange sense of anticipation and would not take the initiative to stop Su Manman.

The two of them walked furtively around the restaurant, but as expected of a restaurant open only to members, it was extremely private. Even the glass outside was one-way, so you could see out from the inside, but you couldn't see in from the outside.

Since it was impossible to see from the outside, Su Manman and Xu Zhesheng decided to pretend to have a stomachache.

"Excuse me, my stomach suddenly feels a bit upset. Could I please use your restroom if I can't go in to eat?"

Su Manman truly lives up to her reputation as an actress. Although she may look somewhat awkward in movies, she looks remarkably like a vulnerable person as she clutches her stomach and turns pale at this moment.

She thought to herself that she was pregnant, and everyone outside should give way to her.

Besides, she didn't mention going to eat again, so the other party shouldn't have refused her entry.

Sure enough, upon seeing her like this, the shop assistant who had just been standing solemnly in front of the store immediately stepped forward and respectfully invited her inside.

As it's a members-only restaurant, the service is top-notch.

Su Manman and Xu Zhesheng exchanged glances, a hint of secret joy flashing in their eyes.

Then she added, "It's inconvenient for me to come in alone. Could my husband come in and help me?"

The shop assistant was taken aback, thinking, "Even though you're pregnant, what can your husband do if you're in pain? Can he hold you up?"

But after only a few seconds of hesitation, the clerk nodded and said, "Of course, please follow me."

The two thanked each other and walked inside happily, while Su Manman had already hidden the camera on her phone in the gap of her chest, with the purpose of filming Lu Zichuan having dinner with others.

Having been in the entertainment industry for many years, she knows best how to get dirt on people.

To her disappointment, the store was completely private, with the restrooms and dining area in two different directions. Even after they entered, they still couldn't see Lu Zichuan.

Su Manman lingered in the restroom for a while, and only after the shop assistant guarding the door was called away did she peek out. After confirming that no one was around, she tiptoed and gave Xu Zhesheng a hand signal. The two of them did not go back the way they came, but instead went around and entered the restaurant lobby directly through another path.

The environment here is extremely beautiful, with artificial mountains and flowing water creating a wonderful atmosphere. Crystal chandeliers hang high in the air, and the high-end tables and chairs look very valuable.

At this moment, even though Lu Zichuan was the only customer in the store, there was still someone playing the violin on the stage.

The restaurant exudes a strong sense of elegance, clearly not a place for ordinary people.

Thinking about it this way, they became even more curious about the people who could have dinner with Lu Zichuan.

After walking a few steps, the two saw Lu Zichuan's figure ahead.

He sat there elegantly, his eyes no longer looking at them with mockery, but rather looking at the people in front of him very seriously, a faint smile on his lips, and his whole aura softened.

The top two buttons of his dark green silk shirt were undone, his Adam's apple was slightly protruding, and below that were his alluring collarbones, and further down, one could vaguely see his chest muscles...

Su Manman watched, and couldn't help but swallow.

Lu Zichuan clearly didn't reveal anything, but sitting there, he seemed to exude an ethereal aura, like a white lotus emerging from the mud unsullied, making people want to pluck him.

Xu Zhesheng was right next to Su Manman and saw her reaction clearly. He immediately stopped caring about who was opposite Lu Zichuan, grabbed Su Manman's wrist, and said coldly, "What are you looking at?"

He used considerable force, and Su Manman cried out in pain, "Ah!"

"Ah Zhe, what are you doing! You're hurting me!"

"Why did you just swallow?" Xu Zhesheng eased his grip slightly, but the anger in his eyes didn't diminish at all.

Su Manman was surprised that Xu Zhesheng had noticed her. A hint of guilt flashed in her eyes. To be fair, although Xu Zhesheng was very good-looking and the latest winner of the Golden Duck Award for Best Director, with an immeasurable future and outstanding appearance, he was still a bit inferior to Lu Zichuan.

Not to mention the difference in their family backgrounds. Lu Zichuan is from the Lu family. His great-great-great-grandfather was a wealthy man. The money and power accumulated by his ancestors are now almost enough to rival the wealth of a country. This is something that Xu Zhesheng can never catch up to in this life or even the next.

But Su Manman knew that Lu Zichuan would definitely not be interested in her. She was already doing well to have gotten together with Xu Zhesheng, so she couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her.

Her eyes immediately welled up with tears as she said, "Why do you think I'm swallowing my saliva? I'm hungry! I didn't eat much at noon, and then I walked all this way. Can't I even swallow a little saliva when I smell the aroma of food?!"

Xu Zhesheng was taken aback by this answer. He immediately loosened his grip on Su Manman's hand, and his expression became slightly uneasy.

He realized that he was so greatly influenced by Lu Zichuan that he couldn't stay calm whenever he encountered anything related to him.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood," he said.

Seeing that she had gotten away with it, Su Manman breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her wrist which had been pinched red, and said in a nonchalant tone, "It's okay, quickly check who's opposite Lu Zichuan!"

The two turned back and cautiously peered through the railing in the middle of the restaurant. The woman was sitting with her back to them, and with the surrounding smoke and vegetation obscuring her view, they couldn't see her very clearly, but that back view seemed somewhat familiar.

"Ah Zhe, that back view, doesn't it look like Sister Zhi?"
