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

"you!"

Xu Zhesheng never imagined that Shen Zhiyi would be so eloquent.

In the past, no matter how angry, sad, or wronged she was in front of him, she would never say such hurtful things about their relationship.

Is she serious?

He glanced at the divorce papers on the table and felt a sudden pang in his heart.

However, he regained consciousness the next second.

When they were dating, they had broken up before, and it was always her who brought it up. He would agree, but within two days she would be crying and begging him to get back together.

At that time, he found her annoying and too lazy to argue with her. In addition, she was indeed very useful, taking care of his daily life without putting any pressure on him, so they got back together.

Since their marriage, their relationship has grown stronger, and she has never mentioned divorce before; this is the first time.

But how can human nature be changed?

She'll come begging to me in a couple of days.

Thinking this through, Xu Zhesheng calmed down. He picked up the divorce agreement, flipped to the last page, looked up at Shen Zhiyi, and asked, "Are you sure you want me to sign this? This isn't a game. If you change your mind after I sign it, it will be too late."

Shen Zhiyi answered his question directly with her actions. She took the pen that she had been holding at her collar and handed it to Xu Zhesheng: "Sign it."

Her attitude was so calm and certain that Xu Zhesheng took a deep breath and took the pen from her hand.

It was at that moment that he suddenly noticed something was missing from her right hand.

"Where's your ring?"

He asked a question, his voice devoid of emotion, but his grip on the divorce papers tightened subtly.

Shen Zhiyi looked down at her right hand. She had worn the ring on her hand for so many years that she had never taken it off, whether she was taking a shower or doing housework. Even now, when she took it off, there was still a ring mark on her ring finger.

The mark seemed like a shackle symbolizing her past, standing out prominently on her fair hand.

She casually withdrew her hand: "I threw it away."

"Throw it away?!"

Xu Zhesheng's voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of barely perceptible panic. He grabbed Shen Zhiyi's empty right hand with frightening force, his fingertips rubbing against the faint white mark.

He suddenly remembered that the two of them had decided to get married in a hurry. He had just graduated and was just a poor young man. As a newcomer, he could not become a director anywhere. He could only start as a junior assistant. The salary of a junior assistant was shockingly low. He only had a few dozen yuan left for rent and food each month. In order to save money to buy a ring, he had to run food delivery after work every night. He persisted like this for two months before he finally saved enough money.

He had no idea that rings required measuring the other person's hand size, so he picked the cheapest style and gave it directly to Shen Zhiyi.

The first time it was put on her ring finger, it was a little tight, but she smiled and stuffed it in with satisfaction. Later, she tried to take it off but couldn't.

Tears welled in her eyes from the pain, but she still smiled and comforted him, "It's better that it can't be taken off. That way, it'll never be removed, and we'll be together forever!"

But now, she actually took it off herself...

"When...did you pick it, and where did you throw it?"

His voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Shen Zhiyi's hand was gripped so tightly by him that it hurt. She pulled her hand back forcefully, leaving another obvious red mark on her hand.

She rubbed her hands and glared at him with dissatisfaction: "I took them off a long time ago, wearing them is in the way."

"Getting in the way?" Xu Zhesheng repeated her words, his face contorted in a frightening grimace. "Shen Zhiyi, is it appropriate for you to use the word 'getting in the way' in our five-year marriage?"

"Where did you put that ring...? Tell me, where did you put it?"

"The trash can? Or in the flowerbed? Or somewhere else? I'll go find it for you!"

"No, that's not right. There are still marks on your hand from where you wore it. You must have just taken it off. Are you trying to lie to me?"

Xu Zhesheng shook his head, then suddenly stepped forward, reaching into her clothes and bag and rummaging through them, muttering, "Wait until I find it... wait until I find it..."

Shen Zhiyi calmly watched him go crazy, her eyes filled with incomprehension. What was he doing?

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was deeply in love with her.

"Don't bother looking anymore, I really just threw it away. I put it in the outside trash can, it's full of other trash, all mixed together. Do you want it recycled?"

She admitted that a simple sentence made Xu Zhesheng stop what he was doing.

"Trash...?"

When he looked up, Shen Zhiyi noticed that the corners of his eyes were red.

She used to feel sorry for him, but now that she's experienced all this, she feels nothing at all.

"Then I'll buy you a new one!"

Xu Zhesheng suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her outside: "We should have bought a new one a long time ago. I promised you I'd get you a new one..."

Shen Zhiyi was somewhat exasperated by his attitude. Seeing his feigned ignorance, a nameless anger rose within her. She abruptly flung her hand away and snapped, "Xu Zhesheng, what are you pretending for?"

"When have you ever cared whether I wear a ring or not? Besides, do you even remember where your ring is?"

She pulled his left hand in front of him; it was bare, without a ring or any markings.

Xu Zhesheng paused for half a second, as if thinking, and then said, "I left it at home."

Shen Zhiyi still sneered, "Since you're not wearing one either, what difference does it make whether I wear one or not?"

"Don't waste any more time, signing it will be better for everyone."

She handed him the divorce papers again.

Xu Zhesheng clenched his fists tightly at his sides, feeling as if a corner of his heart had been ripped out with a knife, and even breathing was painful.

He bit his lip, staring intently at the agreement, and finally reached out and took it.

He had only intended to sign a name casually, but now he suddenly scanned the agreement quickly.

He thought she had just casually drafted a simple agreement, but when he saw that it clearly listed the films they had made together over the years and demanded that he split the assets equally, his already ferocious face twisted even more grotesquely.

He suddenly looked up at her: "Who helped you draft this agreement?"

"Of course, it's the lawyer," Shen Zhiyi said. "I don't want much of the marital property, and I won't ask for back what you spent on Su Manman. But I only have one request: I want back what belongs to me."

"The property will be split 50/50, and that villa, you said it would be mine."

The moment Xu Zhesheng saw her calmly utter those words, he suddenly realized that Shen Zhiyi in front of him had really changed; she really... wanted to divorce him.
