Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets
Chapter 44 My Heart Aches for You
"Thank you, Assistant Wang."
Tan Gui was gently placed in the back seat. She had drunk too much and hadn't woken up at all the way here. Shen Zhiyi straightened her clothes and helped her find a comfortable position by the window before getting out of the car and giving Assistant Wang a grateful smile.
It was only from those few moments that Shen Zhiyi realized just how heavy a drunk person could be.
Tan Gui wasn't fat to begin with, but after getting drunk, she had absolutely no strength. Shen Zhiyi had to use all her strength to adjust her movements. If she were to carry Tan Gui back alone in her current state, she probably wouldn't have the strength to go halfway.
Meeting Shen Zhiyi's bright eyes, Assistant Wang blushed slightly and scratched his head, saying, "No need, it was all President Lu's order. If you want to thank someone, you should thank President Lu."
Shen Zhiyi bit her lip, thinking of Lu Zichuan's inexplicable words before he left, and didn't reply.
She took out her phone to find a designated driver to take them home, but then she saw that Lu Zichuan had followed them without her noticing. He had his hands in his pockets and was still wearing that loose but high-quality white shirt, but his sunglasses had been taken off and were hanging on his chest, making his collarbone more prominent and revealing his pectoral muscles.
Under the streetlights, his face was sometimes in the light and sometimes in the shadows, and his very pale eyes were fixed on her.
In the end, they did help, and Shen Zhiyi nodded to him.
The latter, with a blank expression, walked up in a few steps and said, "I'll take you back."
Shen Zhiyi paused and declined, saying, "It's alright, I'll just call a designated driver. Mr. Lu, please continue with your work."
Lu Zichuan glanced at her without saying a word, but the surrounding air seemed to grow even colder.
Assistant Wang, who was standing nearby, understood his boss's thoughts and stepped forward to say, "Ms. Shen, let me take you home. You two girls have been drinking, and this lady is still unconscious and won't wake up for a while. It's not safe for you."
"Besides, you won't be able to take her upstairs by yourself when you get off the bus later."
Assistant Wang explained the situation clearly, and Shen Zhiyi thought he made sense. After thinking about it for a moment, she nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you..." Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that Assistant Wang was gesturing towards Lu Zichuan with his eyes. After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhiyi turned around and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Lu."
Lu Zichuan maintained his indifferent expression, but the chill in the air seemed to have lessened somewhat.
Shen Zhiyi rubbed her arms, assuming it was just because the temperature was low at night.
After getting in the car, Shen Zhiyi sat in the back seat to take care of Tan Gui. Assistant Wang took the driver's seat. Shen Zhiyi thought that Lu Zichuan had just asked Assistant Wang to take them, but she did not expect that he would also get in the car.
Shen Zhiyi was puzzled. They were both in this car, so how were they going to get back when they arrived?
However, this thought was fleeting. He was from a wealthy family, rich and powerful, and had plenty of ways to go back. She didn't need to worry about him at all.
However, after these few encounters, her impression of Lu Zichuan improved somewhat.
She used to think, like Xu Zhesheng, that Lu Zichuan was just a spoiled brat born into privilege. Now it seems that although he appears cold on the surface, he is actually a person who pays attention to details and considers others.
The car drove on without anyone speaking.
Suddenly, Tan Gui, who had been fast asleep, sat up abruptly and shouted:
"Divorce! Get a divorce now!"
Shen Zhiyi, who was standing to the side, was startled. She thought Tan Gui had woken up, but when she turned around, she saw that Tan Gui had fallen down again with a "duang".
Afraid that she would bump her head, Shen Zhiyi used her hand to protect her head and pulled her onto her lap to sleep.
As if smelling a familiar scent, Tan Gui did not resist, but reached out and put her arm around Shen Zhiyi's waist, murmuring:
"Zhizhi! My heart aches for you..."
Shen Zhiyi's heart softened immediately, and she stroked Tan Gui's hair again and again.
In the front row, Assistant Wang was startled by Tan Gui's sudden shout, but he drove very steadily, and apart from his hand shaking slightly, the car was not affected at all.
Lu Zichuan, who was standing next to him, only glanced back once before turning his head away again.
And so, the group continued until they reached Tan Gui's residential area.
Assistant Wang carried Tan Gui into the room and gently placed her on the bed.
Lu Zichuan followed behind.
Shen Zhiyi poured each of them a glass of water and said gratefully again, "Thank you so much for today. I really don't know if I could have carried her back by myself without you."
Assistant Wang wasn't good at interacting with women; his face flushed again after just one glance, and he waved his hands in front of him, saying, "Oh, not at all."
Lu Zichuan took the water, sipped it, and then turned his gaze from surveying the room to Shen Zhiyi: "You're staying here tonight?"
As soon as he entered, he noticed two pairs of women's slippers placed by the door.
Shen Zhiyi and he were going to work together anyway, so she didn't want to hide it and said, "Yes, I've moved out of Xu Zhesheng's house."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zichuan tightened his grip on the cup slightly, then quickly released it.
Sitting next to him, Assistant Wang could clearly feel that President Lu, who had been tense, had relaxed.
He is a super straight man. Even though he is almost thirty, he is still single since birth, and over the years, he has had very little contact with women while being with Lu Zichuan.
Aside from the actresses he works with, all of Lu Zichuan's other business partners are men. He also seems to have no interest in women at all. In all these years, Assistant Wang has never seen him show any interest in a woman.
There were whispers in the company that Lu Zichuan might be gay. After all, he came from a good family, was good-looking, and had a great physique. Women willing to throw themselves at him could line up all the way to France. But every woman who tried to get close to him was either sent to a company in South Africa or kicked out of Beijing.
As time went on, Assistant Wang also began to worry about his personal safety.
Until Shen Zhiyi appeared.
He had a vague feeling that his boss treated this woman differently.
Those small eyes seemed to be lowered, but in reality, they looked Shen Zhiyi and Lu Zichuan up and down several times.
In the end, Assistant Wang came to the conclusion that Miss Shen and President Lu were a perfect match in terms of appearance!
Shen Zhiyi didn't notice his subtle glance, but Lu Zichuan did. He swept a cold look over, and Assistant Wang quickly looked away, sitting upright and not daring to speak.
Lu Zichuan nodded and placed the water glass lightly on the coffee table, making a crisp sound.
He raised his eyes, his gaze locking onto Shen Zhiyi with a deep intensity. His extremely pale eyes seemed to contain nebulae, so profound that they were startling.
"Regarding the divorce,"
He spoke, his voice lower and slower than before, carrying an undeniable certainty, "If you need any help, just let me know."
