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

Shen Zhiyi sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at Xu Zhesheng who was squatting in front of her, and was momentarily lost in thought.

Nearly ten years have passed since their college days, and surprisingly, Xu Zhesheng seems unaffected by the passage of time. His face is just as handsome and fair as when Shen Zhiyi first met him.

Although Shen Zhiyi had seen many men who were better looking than Xu Zhesheng after she started working, and there were even many men who were more handsome than him back in college, not to mention top-tier men like Lu Zichuan, other types each had their own merits.

But no one else combines gentleness and refinement with cleanliness like Hsu Che-sheng.

He stood there, like a first love in adolescence, inspiring longing.

Even after many years, his youthful spirit has not diminished.

In the past, no matter how angry Shen Zhiyi was, her anger would instantly dissipate whenever she saw his face.

But now, she just stared at his face quietly, without the slightest fluctuation in her heart.

His appearance hasn't changed, but his heart has.

Or perhaps she never truly understood him from the very beginning.

After recognizing this reality, Shen Zhiyi smiled with relief. She knew that she and he could never make things clear again.

She couldn't understand him, and he couldn't possibly think from her perspective.

"A family of three?"

She repeated softly, weakly raising her eyes, her expression full of mockery: "Is it you, Su Manman's child, and me, the nanny?"

"You let a woman who isn't the child's biological mother become the child's mother, sent the child's biological mother abroad, and you yourself disappeared into this messy relationship. Hsu Che-sheng, I never knew you were so cowardly."

She curled her lips into a smirk, her disdain almost overflowing from her eyes.

"Shen Zhiyi! Watch your mouth!"

As she uttered increasingly offensive words, yet they were all true, a shadow of unease flashed across Xu Zhesheng's eyes, and he warned her in a deep voice.

"Whether it's something to be mindful of or just the truth that you can't refute, you know the answer in your heart."

Shen Zhiyi scoffed. After being married for many years, she knew exactly how to say things that would hurt Xu Zhesheng the most.

"I've heard your story. It's fascinating, but it doesn't deserve any understanding or sympathy. If Director Xu feels even a little bit guilty towards me, he should transfer the villa you mentioned to me as soon as possible. There's no need to say anything more."

Upon hearing Shen Zhiyi mention the villa, Xu Zhesheng's hand twitched.

He had indeed always wanted to transfer the villa to Shen Zhiyi as compensation, but he had been too busy lately to take Shen Zhiyi to complete the formalities.

But it's one thing for him to bring it up himself, and it's another thing for Shen Zhiyi to bring it up himself.

Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Zhiyi looked up at him: "You just said you would keep your promise to me, and now you've forgotten? I really don't know which of Director Xu's words are true and which are false."

"Shen Zhiyi! Why do you have to talk like that?" After being repeatedly rebuked, even Xu Zhesheng, who had a good temper, couldn't hold back anymore.

"I told you I would give you the villa, but I've been quite busy lately and don't have time to take you to complete the transfer."

Are you short of money lately?

As he spoke, he pulled a bank card from his pocket and handed it to her: "There's 100,000 yuan in here. Take it for emergencies. If it's not enough, just let me know. Once this period is over, I'll transfer the villa to you. I keep my word."

Xu Zhesheng held the card between his index and middle fingers. Shen Zhiyi glanced at it. She didn't need the money, but since Xu Zhesheng was giving it to her, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

She reached out and naturally took it, "Okay, then I'll wait for good news."

Xu Zhesheng stood still without leaving or speaking.

Shen Zhiyi straightened her sheets, turned around and saw him still standing there, frowning: "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

Xu Zhesheng's eyes flickered as he stared at her and said, word by word, "I have never thought about divorcing you. We will continue to live our lives as before."

"You will be my wife for the rest of my life."

Shen Zhiyi paused, her brows furrowing even more deeply. She turned to meet his gaze: "My wife will only be me, but can there be mistresses or concubines?"

"Now that Su Manman is pregnant and wants me to accept her child, will there be another Zhang San or Li Si who wants me to step down in the future? In the end, you will be my husband on the surface, but you will have three wives and four concubines behind my back. Xu Zhesheng, you really know how to plan."

"Shen Zhiyi, you know I won't do that!" Xu Zhesheng was annoyed by her words, his features furrowed, and his tone became more forceful.

"I probably wouldn't have before, but since the Su Manman incident, I'm really not sure."

Compared to Xu Zhesheng's excitement, Shen Zhiyi seemed much calmer. "I've never managed our family's assets over the years. After hearing what your mother said today, I suddenly felt that perhaps I should take a look. Have your assistant prepare a list for me."

"What?!" Xu Zhesheng's face flashed with surprise. "Why did you suddenly want to see the assets?"

Shen Zhiyi looked at him calmly: "As your only wife, am I not allowed to look?"

"Of course not, I just want to know why? You never cared about these things before."

"Director Xu casually throws around a villa worth 500 million. I really didn't know my family became so rich. Of course I have to see it. Besides, there's Su Manman's matter right now. Since you're unwilling to divorce me, then we naturally need to clarify our assets. What do you think?"

As Shen Zhiyi spoke, she carefully observed Xu Zhesheng's expression.

She could see it clearly; beneath his seemingly calm face, a hint of annoyance had flashed in his eyes.

That was an emotion he only felt when he felt guilty.

Lu Zichuan's investigation was correct; Xu Zhesheng had indeed been secretly transferring assets for some time.

Shen Zhiyi just couldn't understand why he did this.

He kept saying he wouldn't divorce her, that she was his only wife, so why did he secretly transfer his assets?

After thinking for a long time, Shen Zhiyi realized that she might never have truly understood Xu Zhesheng.

"Didn't we buy that villa together a few years ago? It wasn't that expensive back then; it's only now that it's appreciated in value."

"Besides, I know that no matter how you look at it, you've suffered a lot of injustice. This is most of my wealth, so consider it my compensation to you."

"Of course you have no problem looking at our assets. As long as our marriage is good and you're doing well, you can do whatever you want."

He stepped forward, gently took Shen Zhiyi's hand, and coaxed her softly.

But Shen Zhiyi knew that he was deceiving her.

In the past, whenever she brought up something he couldn't quite accept or refuse, he would use his good looks to get close to her and change the subject.

She used to be tempted by him every time, but now she won't.
