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

"Yes, it should be finished by Friday."

Shen Zhiyi nodded. She didn't want to be idle lately. Although she and Tan Gui had been living together very well, she couldn't stay at her friend's house forever. Whether they had a good relationship or not was one thing, but whether they had a sense of boundaries was another.

"Is it okay if I report to the company next Monday?"

She asked.

Lu Zichuan looked at her with surprise: "I thought you would need some time to adjust."

Shen Zhiyi smiled and said, "No need, I have a lot of confidence in myself."

Moreover, although editing for Su Manman was troublesome during this period, it was the first time she had used the green screen technique. She did a lot of research to achieve a realistic effect, and her skills only improved.

Lu Zichuan looked at her quietly for a while before saying, "Okay, it just so happens that I'm not satisfied with the editing of my new movie, so it's perfect for you to take over."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, my requirements will be stricter than Xu Zhesheng's, and I won't go easy on you just because you saved me. Be prepared."

Under the dim light, Shen Zhiyi's eyes shone brightly.

What she fears least is others making things difficult for her at work. Capable people are never afraid of difficulties; the hardest thing is having no opinions.

She smiled and nodded, extending her hand to Lu Zichuan: "Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Her hands were fair and delicate, with slender joints like white scallions. Lu Zichuan glanced at them, a dark look flashing across his eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

He reached out and gently squeezed her hand, repeating, "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Just then, Shen Zhiyi's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Xu Zhesheng calling.

He hadn't called her in a long time, especially so late at night.

Shen Zhiyi didn't want to answer the call at first, but she was worried that the other person was calling her because of work, so she walked to the French windows and answered it anyway.

"Zhizhi, are you asleep?"

Xu Zhesheng's voice sounded soft and tired.

"What is it?"

Shen Zhiyi said coldly.

"Zhizhi, you've changed. You used to call me Azhe when you answered the phone."

Xu Zhesheng sounded aggrieved over the phone.

At first, Shen Zhiyi wasn't sure, but as soon as she heard those words, she knew.

Xu Zhesheng must have been drinking somewhere today, because he suddenly remembered her and that's why he called her.

He had done this before, and Shen Zhiyi never found it annoying. She would even feel smug, thinking that he was his true love hidden in his heart, a feeling he couldn't hide when he was drunk.

But now, she only feels nauseous.

Her face turned cold: "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

"etc!"

Xu Zhesheng's voice suddenly rose a few octaves: "I...I have something to tell you..."

Shen Zhiyi paused, then heard Xu Zhesheng stammer, "What they said today isn't true."

"Yesterday was just a joke between friends. Manman and I will not be getting married, don't misunderstand."

Shen Zhiyi almost laughed out of anger. So this is what he came up with?

"There's no misunderstanding." Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion. "The child in her belly is related to you. You slept with her, you took her to meet your parents, you flaunted her in front of your colleagues, and you even celebrated with your friends. None of this is a misunderstanding."

"If you had any sense of responsibility, you should have divorced me and given her a proper status, instead of following me around in this ambiguous way."

"Zhizhi, why are you so stubborn? Why can't you understand me...?"

Xu Zhesheng's voice sounded like he was in pain.

"I did all of this for you..."

Even knowing that he had become shameless, Shen Zhiyi was still amused by his words.

"For me? How is it just for me?"

"For me to sleep with her, for me to introduce her to my colleagues, for me to buy her a huge diamond ring, for me to introduce her to my parents, and even! For me to transfer assets?"

"Xu Zhesheng, do you want to listen to what you're saying?!"

"If you continue to think that way, I think we'll have to see each other in court."

Shen Zhiyi had originally planned to wait for Xu Zhesheng to reveal the details of the assets himself, but now she realized that was impossible.

The person on the other end of the phone was clearly surprised that she knew about this; a pained voice choked in her throat: "Zhizhi...you...how could you..."

I want to drink water.

Just as Shen Zhiyi was feeling a pain in her chest from anger, Lu Zichuan, who had been listening silently beside her, suddenly spoke up. Shen Zhiyi turned around and saw that the water glass next to his bedside was empty, and there was a faint plea in his very pale eyes.

My mood, which had been affected by Xu Zhesheng, suddenly calmed down.

Shen Zhiyi stopped wasting words with Xu Zhesheng. Before hanging up, she could still hear Xu Zhesheng's roar on the other end of the phone: "Shen Zhiyi! Where are you? Why is there a man's voice next to you?"

The call was abruptly cut off. Shen Zhiyi picked up a cup, went outside to get another cup, and handed it to Lu Zichuan.

However, Lu Zichuan did not take it. He looked up at her and said, "You drink it."

Shen Zhiyi: "?"

Seeing her dazed state, Lu Zichuan smiled and said, "You're so angry, here's some water for you."

Shen Zhiyi then realized that Lu Zichuan had deliberately interrupted her call.

A slight thought crossed her mind, and she smiled at the other person: "Thank you."

Now that she heard that, she did realize she was thirsty. She tilted her head back and gulped down the water before she remembered that it seemed to be Lu Zichuan's cup.

Her grip on the cup tightened, and she said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I used your cup. Let me wash it for you..."

"Leave it; the hotel will clean it up."

Lu Zichuan said.

Even so, Shen Zhiyi still felt embarrassed.

Lu Zichuan used that cup, and she just drank from it again. She really has no sense of propriety...

Hearing that Lu Zichuan was never interested in women, and that even the doctor Shen from earlier was a man, her heart tightened even more.

Lu Zichuan looked up and saw her standing there, still clutching the cup tightly in her hand, her lips pressed together. As if he had just thought of something, a smile flashed across his eyes: "I haven't used it."

It took Shen Zhiyi a moment to realize what he meant, and her face turned even redder: "Mr. Lu, I didn't mean to look down on you..."

Lu Zichuan: "Yes, I know."

The conversation ended there. If Shen Zhiyi tried to explain further, it would only make her seem guilty. She weakly placed the blanket on the coffee table, wanting to leave but not daring to.

At that moment, her phone vibrated again.

She picked it up and saw that Xu Zhesheng had called her nearly twenty times, and kept sending her text messages and WeChat messages.

"Where did you go?"

"What were you and that man doing?"

Answer me!

"Shen Zhiyi! Don't forget you're not divorced from me yet! If you dare do anything out of line, you'll be cheating on me! You'll be unfaithful!"

"Isn't that the pretty boy from last time?! Don't let me find out his location!"

"Zhizhi, I was wrong..."
