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

"These...these..."

A sudden evening breeze arose, the early summer wind carrying a hint of heat, lifting the stray hairs by Shen Zhiyi's cheek.

She calmly raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, the movement as swift as cutting off a piece of the past.

She snatched the photo from Xu Zhesheng's stiff hand, her fingertips brushing against his palm, bringing a chill.

"How could I not keep such wonderful photos?"

She chuckled softly, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

She slowly smoothed out each photo, tucked it into her bag, then bent down to pick up the pink diary, held it up in front of him and waved it, the cover rustling in the wind: "Here are some of her diary entries, all about the two of you. Would you like to look at them together?"

With a "thud," Xu Zhesheng threw the diary to the ground.

"How could Manman possibly give you these photos! Is she crazy?!"

Xu Zhesheng shook his head and backed away. On the one hand, although he could openly admit to cheating, his private life had not been exposed to Shen Zhiyi. She didn't know what he had actually done, so he had the opportunity to deny it at any time. But now those photos were right in front of her, and she knew these things clearly. He was speechless.

On the other hand, he always thought that Su Manman was obedient and sensible, and asked for nothing. But these photos only involved the two of them. He couldn't give them to Shen Zhiyi, so only she could give them to him.

Didn't she say she wouldn't ask for anything? Why is she giving all this to Shen Zhiyi?

What does she want to do?

His attitude was clearly stated: he would not divorce Shen Zhiyi, much less marry her; this was something the two of them had agreed upon!

Shen Zhiyi wasn't angry when he knocked the notebook to the ground. She squatted down, picked it up, dusted it off, and then held it in her hand.

She stood up and looked at Xu Zhesheng again, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "Yes, I'm also very curious, why did she give me these photos?"

She took a step forward, getting closer to his pale face. "Why don't you go and ask her yourself?"

After saying that, she turned around and her clothes drew a resolute arc in the wind.

Xu Zhesheng covered his head and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. But at this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: he couldn't let Shen Zhiyi leave!

"Zhizhi! Don't go!"

Xu Zhesheng's mind went blank for a moment, with only one thought in mind: I absolutely cannot let her leave like this!

He rushed forward and grabbed her wrist with terrifying force.

Shen Zhiyi stumbled and nearly fell as he pulled her, shouting sharply, "What are you doing! Let go!"

"I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

Xu Zhesheng's voice was tinged with alcohol and unprecedented panic. He almost instinctively pulled her into his arms, but afraid of hurting her, he hesitated, not daring to use force.

"At first... at first it was an accident, but later... I was out of my mind. But believe me, once Manman gives birth, I'll send her away immediately! You'll never see her again in this lifetime! I swear! Never again!"

He was incoherent and humbly unlike the aloof director he was supposed to be.

However, the more he talked, the more Shen Zhiyi frowned.

She used to think Xu Zhesheng was a smart person. After all, it wasn't easy for him to come from the countryside to study in the city. Directing is not a major that can be monetized immediately. He needs to accumulate experience step by step. She was attracted to him because he fit her aesthetic, and she also thought he was a pragmatic person.

Back then, many people in the college were pursuing her, but she always felt that those people were frivolous. They were all spoiled children who had never experienced hardship. Therefore, she looked at Xu Zhesheng with even higher regard.

But now, she feels that a person's growth experience is buried deep in their heart.

It is because of his past experiences that he is now even more unable to see reality clearly, despite his current success.

Calmly, she pried his fingers off her wrist one by one, her voice as steady as if she were describing the evening's weather: "Xu Zhesheng, do you think it's possible?"

Xu Zhesheng was taken aback, then said urgently, "How is that impossible? I promise..."

"ensure?"

Shen Zhiyi interrupted him, finally looking him in the eye. Those eyes, once brimming with adoration, now held only a cold scrutiny.

"If the child in Su Manman's belly is yours, then she is the child's biological mother. Do you really think that sending her abroad will sever all ties? She's an actress, and she'll have to return to China sooner or later to work in the entertainment industry. How are we supposed to avoid her? What you're saying is completely unfounded."

She paused, then spoke words that pierced the heart:

"Secondly, what I've never minded is Su Manman. Xu Zhesheng, what I mind is your attitude. If you had been honest after making a mistake from the beginning, perhaps I could have looked at you differently. But you chose to hide it, tried to appease me with money, and allowed your mother to blame everything on my 'inability to have children.' Even deep down, you yourself felt that it was all my fault."

"From beginning to end, you didn't feel sorry for me in the slightest."

The wind tousled her hair, brushed against his face, and brought a slight itch, but it was nothing compared to the sting of her words.

Xu Zhesheng felt flustered by her overly calm eyes and overlooked the "if" in her words. He felt fear overwhelm him like a tidal wave.

Fueled by alcohol, his tone was so humble it was almost groveling:

"At first, I was just afraid you'd be angry... afraid of losing you... Now I understand! I really understand! From now on, no matter what happens, I'll tell you first, and we'll discuss it together, okay? Zhizhi, we've been together for so many years... please give me another chance..."

"You have no idea how flustered I was when I heard there was a man next to you. I admit that maybe I wasn't good enough to you before. I always felt that marrying you wasn't my choice. But just now, I really realized that after so many years together, I might not be able to live without you anymore. Zhizhi, after all these years, please give me another chance."

The moonlight cast a long shadow of Shen Zhiyi. She was backlit, her face hidden in the shadows, only her voice was clear and indistinguishable.

Xu Zhesheng, who was almost a head taller than her, half-squatted in front of her, looking up at her with a cautious gaze and a deep affection that would surprise even himself.

However, Shen Zhiyi only sighed softly, and there was no ripple in that sigh.

She reached out and gently cupped Xu Zhesheng's face in her hands.

Her hands were a little cold, but his face was frighteningly hot.

She leaned closer to him, her gaze as if she were looking at her beloved, her fingertips gently rubbing his cheek, just like when they were most in love.

A glimmer of hope rose in Xu Zhesheng's heart. He knew it, he knew that his Zhizhi would never abandon him!

However, the next second, a cold voice entered his ears on the wind and pierced his heart.

"But, Hsu Che-sheng."

I don't love you anymore.
