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

When the name "Shen Zhiyi" was uttered, Xu Zhesheng felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his ears.

Su Manman barely swallowed before he couldn't stand it. If he found out that Shen Zhiyi was having dinner with Lu Zichuan behind his back, and it was such a romantic French dinner, he might not be able to control himself and grab her by the neck!

He looked up and found that the woman who had been sitting there just moments before had disappeared, and Lu Zichuan, who was sitting opposite them, had somehow appeared in front of them.

He stood with his arms crossed, back straight, and his extremely pale eyes looked down at them, revealing no emotion. His tone was indifferent: "Director Xu, you've switched careers to become a paparazzi?"

"This technique isn't very good."

Su Manman and Xu Zhesheng were hunched over, carefully hiding themselves in the bushes beside the restaurant. They thought Lu Zichuan was focused on eating and wouldn't see them. As a result, when they were caught red-handed, both of them had an undisguised embarrassment on their faces.

Xu Zhesheng was the first to straighten up, a smile on his face: "President Lu, we meet again."

"You misunderstood. Manman just had an upset stomach, so she came in to use the restroom. When she came out, she couldn't find her way, so we wandered around. We were afraid of disturbing you, so we did this."

He lied without batting an eye, while subtly giving Su Manman a wink.

The latter immediately understood and quickly echoed:

"Yes, yes, that's right. Mr. Lu, please don't misunderstand. I really had an upset stomach and wanted to use the restroom, but when I came out, the waiter who led the way was gone. Director Xu and I couldn't find our way, so we just wandered around. We didn't mean to bother you."

Su Manman has a pure and innocent appearance, and her voice is soft and gentle, as if she is telling a story. Even when she is lying, people's attention will only be drawn to her voice.

She used this method to successfully tell many lies in the past.

Unfortunately, Lu Zichuan wasn't buying it at all. His indifferent gaze fell on her and Xu Zhesheng. He seemed to be smiling, but the corners of his mouth turned down. Then he slowly raised his right hand, joined his index and middle fingers together, and hooked them slightly.

The waiter who was on standby behind him came up.

Then Lu Zichuan's deep voice was heard saying, "Since Miss Su and Director Xu want to eat at this restaurant so much, then serve them all of your restaurant's signature dishes, and put it on my tab. Remember, you're not allowed to leave until you finish eating."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

The waiter nodded and immediately gave a wink to the person behind him.

Lu Zichuan smiled slightly and patted Xu Zhesheng on the shoulder: "Then I wish Director Xu and Miss Su a perfect dinner."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Su Manman and Xu Zhesheng completely bewildered.

"Ah Zhe, didn't President Lu just tell us not to eat?"

Xu Zhesheng and Lu Zichuan were classmates for many years. Although they did not have frequent contact, Xu Zhesheng had probably heard about Lu Zichuan's temper. Although he was a wealthy young master with power and influence, his temper was not good, but he was not the kind of person who would provoke people at will just because of his family background.

But if someone offends him, he will retaliate in his own way.

He had just seemingly explained his motives, but he knew that Lu Zichuan would never believe him. Now that they were having dinner, there was probably some ulterior motive.

Just as they were hesitating whether to leave, Assistant Wang, who had been following behind Lu Zichuan, stepped forward and nodded respectfully to them: "Director Xu, President Lu instructed me to supervise your meal."

Su Manman looked strange. Was there really someone supervising her meals?

However, once she saw the waiter actually bring the food over, her strange feelings vanished instantly.

In any case, it's good to be able to eat at the restaurant you've been longing for.

Xu Zhesheng also felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. However, he was hungry after walking around for so long, so he sat down to prepare for a meal.

Lu Zichuan prepared a lot of dishes for them, and the two of them ate until the end, with more than half of the food still left.

Just as the two were about to get up and leave, Assistant Wang, who had been standing by, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Lu instructed that you two are not allowed to leave until you finish your meal."

Su Manman's joy froze instantly. She looked at the mountain of empty plates and leftovers on the table, and the rich aroma of meat now smelled somewhat nauseating.

She instinctively clutched her stomach, which was already bloated and painful from the earlier binge eating.

"But...we're already full..."

She pleaded softly, trying to gain sympathy by using her pregnancy as an excuse.

Assistant Wang's smile remained unchanged, and he bowed slightly.

"Ms. Su, Director Xu, Mr. Lu said that good food should not be wasted. Since you two have gone to great lengths to get into this place, you should enjoy the food. If you can't finish it, you can stay here and eat at your leisure."

"It's still early, I can wait for you."

Xu Zhesheng had never been treated like this before. Seeing Assistant Wang standing before them without any intention of backing down, his face darkened: "Is President Lu planning to restrict our personal freedom?"

Assistant Wang quickly waved his hand: "Director Xu, please don't use such harsh words! Our CEO Lu didn't mean that at all. He just saw you two sneaking around here for so long and figured you must really like the food here, so he wanted you to try all the good stuff."

"He was worried that you hadn't eaten enough. It's really hurtful to our CEO Lu that his good intentions have been misinterpreted like this."

Assistant Wang wasn't afraid of Xu Zhesheng at all. Even though he was smiling, his expression was similar to Lu Zichuan's, with a half-smile that made Xu Zhesheng want to rush up and smash his mask.

Clenching his fists repeatedly, Xu Zhesheng looked at the dishes in front of him and felt that they were no longer delicacies, but something more terrifying than a demon.

But he knew that Lu Zichuan was extremely powerful, and even if he called the police, they would not help him at all, and would only make a big fuss about it. If the paparazzi found out that he, Xu Zhesheng, was being threatened by Lu Zichuan, he would lose face big time.

After thinking for a while, Xu Zhesheng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I can eat it, but I have a question for Assistant Wang to answer."

Seeing his cooperative attitude, Assistant Wang's smile widened, and he bowed respectfully, saying, "Director Xu, you're too kind. Please ask me anything. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely tell you."

Xu Zhesheng stared into Assistant Wang's eyes and said, word by word, "Was it Shen Zhiyi who had dinner with Lu Zichuan tonight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant became oppressive.

Even so, Assistant Wang remained completely calm, smiling and shaking his head.

"Director Xu, what are you thinking? Although Miss Shen's editing skills are superb, everyone in the industry knows that she is your go-to editor, and our CEO Lu would never have dinner with her alone."
