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

"Then I'll take your good wishes!"

Shen Zhiyi laughed heartily.

This time, it wasn't the usual polite, faint smile; instead, her eyebrows and eyes were genuinely curved, her mouth was wide open, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, and even her eyes were filled with a subtle light.

She laughed freely and unrestrainedly, as if she had finally shed some heavy shackles, and her whole being was radiant.

Lu Zichuan was momentarily dazed.

Looking at her profile through the rearview mirror, he saw sunlight streaming in through the car window, falling on her slightly upturned lips and crescent-shaped eyes.

In a daze, he seemed to see Shen Zhiyi from his university days. She smiled just like that back then, under the sycamore tree outside the library, on the bleachers by the playground, in every moment he secretly glanced at her.

"Thump"

"Thump"

He could hear his heartbeat quickening involuntarily, like a wild horse that couldn't be reined in no matter what he did.

"Beep"

The urgent honking of a horn behind him pulled him back to reality.

The red light had turned green sometime during the night, and the cars behind were getting impatient.

Lu Zichuan snapped back to reality, his ears burning, and hurriedly stepped on the gas.

The car smoothly drove out of the stop line, and it wasn't until after several intersections that he felt his heartbeat gradually calm down, though his fingertips still felt a slight warmth from the steering wheel.

Shen Zhiyi's new home is in a high-end residential area with strict access control.

When she took a taxi to view the apartment before, the taxi couldn't even get into the community gate. The security guard insisted that she get out, register, and verify her identity before letting her in.

But today, when Lu Zichuan's car drove to the entrance, the barrier gate didn't even stop; it just lifted up.

"I heard this neighborhood has pretty tight security," Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, looking at the unobstructed driveway ahead. "Why didn't they even ask?"

She was originally very confident in the security here, and even thought that even if Xu Zhesheng followed her like last time, he probably wouldn't be able to get into the community gate.

But now, she's starting to worry. If the access control is so lax, what sense of security will she have after moving in?

Shen Haozhi laughed from the back seat, her tone teasing, "My dear sister, don't you even know what kind of car this is?"

He patted the car door as if he were patting the back of a beast: "A Cullinan! With the optional extras, this car must cost tens of millions. If someone driving a car like this is a bad guy, then this world is too outrageous. What bad guy drives such a luxurious, ostentatious, and expensive car all over the streets?"

"Is that so?" Shen Zhiyi murmured to herself, half believing and half doubting.

Does this mean luxury cars get special treatment at the community gate? What about the one Xu Zhesheng was driving…?

She didn't ask the second half of the question, but she was already thinking about whether or not to install a one-button alarm at the front door of her new home.

As if seeing through her worries, Lu Zichuan looked ahead and explained calmly, "The Lu family owns shares in this community, and my car is registered with the property management. They have a record of it in their system."

"Oh, I see!" Shen Zhiyi suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely worried that the security guards in this neighborhood might be selective about which car they were assigned to. If that were the case, she'd probably have to install an alarm at the entrance to feel safe.

Pei Jin chuckled to herself in the back seat, thinking: Mr. Lu's explanation is half true and half false. It's true that the Lu family owns shares in the community, but the car has records with the property management.

That's because the house is his! Why didn't he just say "the house is mine too" as well?

However, he wouldn't dare to contradict me here, even if I killed him.

The car smoothly parked in the garage. The moving company's truck had arrived and was waiting downstairs at the building provided by Shen Zhiyi.

The group carried their things and walked in that direction, and they could see Tan Gui had already arrived from afar.

She was wearing a loose white T-shirt and light blue denim overalls, her long hair was casually tied in a ponytail, and she was carrying an exquisite pink cake box with a ribbon tied to it.

Upon seeing Shen Zhiyi, she flashed a big smile and hugged her, saying, "Zhiyi, happy new home!"

The two of them had just met yesterday and chatted before bed, yet they seemed to have endless things to talk about every day and never got tired of each other.

Shen Zhiyi noticed the faint dark circles under Tan Gui's eyes and frowned with a pang of heartache: "I knew I shouldn't have let you come. You could have gone back to sleep."

Tan Gui immediately objected: "How can that be? Today is your moving day, how can it be considered a proper moving ceremony if I don't attend?"

"Don't worry, I still have a day off tomorrow, I can get enough sleep!"

While the two were talking, the three big men had already unloaded everything from the car. Tan Gui's gaze passed over Shen Zhiyi and landed on Lu Zichuan, her eyes brightening slightly.

It's been a long time since I've seen him, and this man seems to be getting more and more... handsome?

Especially when he stood next to Shen Zhiyi, one was aloof and noble, the other gentle and bright; together they were a sight to behold, comparable to a magazine cover.

She smiled brightly and said cheerfully, "Handsome Lu, we meet again!"

Lu Zichuan nodded to her as a greeting.

Tan Gui's gaze then fell on Pei Jin, and she raised an eyebrow: "Oh, whose handsome young man is this? He's so good-looking!"

Pei Jin wore a light blue shirt today, with the top two buttons of the collar loosely undone. Her skin was so white it seemed to glow, and when she smiled, she had two dimples at the corners of her mouth. She was indeed prettier than many girls.

Shen Zhiyi quickly introduced Pei Jin's identity, then whispered in Tan Gui's ear, "This is President Lu's..."

Upon hearing this, Tan Gui became even more excited, her eyes constantly glancing at Pei Jin.

Pei Jin, however, didn't feel embarrassed at all. She looked at Tan Ying with a grin and said, "Hello, you must be Zhi Zhi's best friend, right? Can I call you Ying Ying?"

When he smiles, he looks more like a girl.

For some reason, Tan Gui seemed to believe that if Lu Zichuan really had a problem with his sexual orientation, then liking him was perfectly fine...

However, when her gaze shifted from Pei Jin back to Shen Zhiyi and Lu Zichuan, that confidence returned in an instant.

Forget it. No matter how pretty Pei Jin is, no matter how much she resembles a girl, she just can't believe that Lu Zichuan likes him.

The way that man looked at Shen Zhiyi was impossible to hide; only a fool wouldn't notice.

She'll have to observe them closely later to see if there's any progress between the two.

Their eyes met briefly, and they almost simultaneously snapped away.

Tan Gui turned around and grabbed Shen Zhiyi's arm: "Alright, let's not stand here anymore, let's go upstairs quickly. I want to see how your new home is. If it's not good, I think you should move back to my place..."

She immediately switched to motherly mode, pulling Shen Zhiyi into the building while nagging, "I'm worried about you living alone. There are so many bad guys targeting women living alone these days, like burglaries and stalking... Even though this neighborhood looks upscale, it's not completely safe..."

Pei Jin frowned upon hearing this and nudged Lu Zichuan with her elbow: "Hey, this sounds a bit unsafe. Are you sure you can relax?"

Lu Zichuan pursed his lips, his gaze falling on Shen Zhiyi's back in front of him.

He was naturally worried.

So before she moved in, he had already bought all the vacant units on all four floors of this apartment.

The entrance is equipped with the most advanced intelligent monitoring system currently available on the market, which is directly connected to the property management's security system. As soon as any suspicious person appears on this floor, his mobile phone will receive an alert immediately.
