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

Turning around, they found Su Manman standing behind them, holding a bunch of things and smiling at them.

It looked like a ghost that suddenly appeared in a horror movie, which scared Yu Meng'an so much that she screamed, "Ah!!"

Her shout startled Su Manman, who clutched her stomach and took a few steps back, almost losing her footing. Luckily, Xu Zhesheng quickly came over and caught her. "Are you alright?"

Su Manman's belly is getting bigger and bigger. She needs someone to help her walk and bend over. Before, she could wear loose clothes to cover it up, but now even loose clothes can still be seen.

Fortunately, the two did not try to hide it. Although it was not made public, everyone on set knew about their relationship.

Seeing that Su Manman was frightened, Xu Zhesheng was bound to get angry, and everyone stood up to watch the commotion.

After regaining her balance, Su Manman patted her chest in fright and said in a sweet voice, "Thank goodness you came, I almost fell."

After thoroughly examining her, Xu Zhesheng straightened up and looked at Yu Meng'an and Shen Zhiyi.

However, after his gaze lingered on Shen Zhiyi for a few seconds, he looked away again.

"What's going on between you two?"

He asked, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction.

Yu Meng'an felt a little guilty, after all, she had just spoken ill of Su Manman. But she was very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Su Manman did not take the initiative to complain, and considering that she had spoken so softly to Shen Zhiyi, Su Manman could not even bend down, so how could she have heard her?

Her eyes darted around, and she pouted, saying, "What happened? Zhi-jie and I were discussing the movie when she suddenly appeared behind us without making a sound. It almost scared the wits out of me! And you're pregnant, so I can't really blame you. Oh well, just be more careful next time!"

She's from Northeast China. Although she's been here for many years, she still speaks with a strong Northeastern accent when she gets excited. Combined with her actions, it looks quite funny, and her colleagues behind her can't help but cover their mouths.

Xu Zhesheng glared at her. "That's all? You didn't bully her?"

As he said this, his gaze drifted intentionally or unintentionally towards Shen Zhiyi. Others might not notice, but Shen Zhiyi knew that he was afraid she would bully Su Manman.

Thinking of the gossip Yu Meng'an had told her earlier, Shen Zhiyi curled her lips in a mocking smile.

With Su Manman's methods, no one can bully her.

"Hey, Director Xu, what are you saying? Why are we bullying Sister Manman?"

"Everyone knows she's your darling. Bullying her is tantamount to going against you! We don't have the guts."

Yu Meng'an exaggeratedly clutched her chest and took a step back, as if she had heard something incredible.

Xu Zhesheng wanted to say something, but Su Manman gently patted his chest: "Zhe, I know you're worried about me, but I'm fine, don't worry."

"Didn't we come here today to discuss something?"

Only after her reminder did Xu Zhesheng turn his gaze away.

He announced loudly, "After more than half a year of hard work, our movie is finally coming to an end. This Friday, I'll treat everyone to dinner at the Fuding Hotel and then to a bar in the evening. Please remember to plan your time accordingly."

Upon hearing the news, cheers erupted both inside and outside the office.

"Alas! Long live Director Xu!"

"Great! I can eat my fill on Friday, and Director Xu shouldn't worry about the cost of the meal."

"After working so hard for so long, I can finally relax. I'm going to get myself drunk!"

Seeing the once quiet office suddenly become lively, Xu Zhesheng's usually serious face also showed a few smiles.

Su Manman then stepped forward, clapped her hands, and gave a mysterious look: "Thank you all for your hard work editing my video these past few days. I hope everyone will come on Friday; I'll be announcing some good news then, so please don't miss it!"

She winked playfully at everyone.

The cheers in the office immediately grew louder, and one of them shouted, "Sister Man, we all know without you saying a word! Congratulations on your marriage to Director Xu!"

"Remember to invite us to your wedding!"

"When is the baby due? We'll definitely come to see!"

"Do you want to make this public?"

Colleagues chimed in, one after another; it was clearly an open secret among them.

Amidst the cheers, Su Manman blushed and stomped her foot shyly, "Oh dear! Where did you all hear these rumors from! How annoying! Don't talk nonsense!"

A colleague laughed even harder: "Sister Manman, stop pretending. Director Xu treated everyone to dinner yesterday! There were quite a few people from the entertainment industry there. Although they deleted the post after a while, it still didn't escape my eyes!"

Another colleague, who hadn't seen it, asked curiously, "What was that? What did I miss?"

The colleague shouted, "The background audio in the video is: 'Congratulations to Director Xu and Manman on your marriage!'"

"I was saying that Sister Manman was already wearing her ring a while ago, so she's probably getting married soon!"

"Director Xu, you haven't already secretly registered your marriage with Sister Manman, have you?"

When it comes to gossip, everyone gets excited, and they can't stop talking unless you forcefully intervene.

Shen Zhiyi did not participate in the commotion at all. At this moment, she wanted to stay out of it, but the noise from her colleagues was too loud, and she could not concentrate on her work.

His fingers tapped idly on the table, while his other hand propped up his chin, staring blankly out the door.

She vaguely sensed a gaze falling upon her.

She looked up and met Xu Zhesheng's eyes.

Beside him, Su Manman held his hand tightly, laughing and joking with her colleagues, clearly the center of attention. This feeling made her very happy, and she didn't notice the little actions of the person next to her.

Shen Zhiyi curled her lips, and when she thought of what Yu Meng'an had just told her, her gaze toward Xu Zhesheng carried a hint of unfathomable depth.

She had just found out that he had been tricked. Sleeping with Su Manman was probably not intentional on his part. As for being drunk, that was nonsense. He must have been drugged, otherwise how could he not tell if a woman was a virgin or not?

It would be impossible for her to feel no emotion at all.

Compared to others in the entertainment industry, he is willing to take responsibility and doesn't have many ulterior motives; his character is already considered excellent.

But Shen Zhiyi also knew that he was not innocent.

Even if he was tricked at the beginning, if he wasn't guilty, why would he have kept it from her for so long?

His defense of Su Manman and his denigration of her during this period were his true feelings.

There's no denying that.

Shen Zhiyi still rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at Xu Zhesheng. She slightly opened her lips, but no sound came out. However, she was certain that Xu Zhesheng would understand: "Happy wedding, Zhesheng."
