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

The grip on her hand suddenly gave way.

Xu Zhesheng's eyes widened, his lips parted repeatedly as if he couldn't believe her words, his voice trembling: "Impossible! You loved me so much before, how could you stop loving me in such a short time!"

"I know, you must have been bewitched by that kid, right?"

"He's still a college student, he doesn't know anything. You might find it interesting now, but after a while you'll realize he's nothing special except for being novel!"

"Zhizhi, we've been through that age too, don't you understand?"

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Shen Zhi was too lazy to explain anymore, so she simply went along with him and said, "You're right. Time is short, but people's hearts are ever-changing. I just don't love you anymore."

"Besides, he is indeed young, strong, energetic, and good at everything."

She curled her lips into a knowing smile.

Xu Zhesheng took two steps back, looking at her in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but Shen Zhiyi had completely lost her patience.

She said, "Instead of arguing here, you should hurry back and settle the accounts. Xu Zhesheng, I've already pointed it out once. Don't make it too clear to me. I know everything you've done, and I have to divorce you."

"Also, this is my last time participating in your project. I will be leaving the editing team after Friday's end. Make your own plans."

After saying that, she left without lingering.

She walked very fast, afraid that Xu Zhesheng would come to his senses and chase after her.

Fortunately, her words must have struck a chord with him, for he stood there by the roadside for a long time, unable to come to his senses.

Shen Zhiyi entered the password and went into the building, finally able to catch her breath.

However, in the elevator, he bumped into Lu Zichuan.

She was taken aback. Shouldn't they have arrived long ago? How could they have run into her?

The flush on Lu Zichuan's face had completely subsided. Leaning against the elevator, he looked somewhat languid. He seemed surprised to see her: "All done?"

Shen Zhiyi nodded: "Mm."

Lu Zichuan didn't say anything more, and the two of them stayed quietly in the elevator waiting for it to go up.

She glanced around and saw that Lu Zichuan's home was on the top floor, while Tan Gui's home was on the fifteenth floor, half the floor apart. No wonder they rarely ran into each other.

Still puzzled, she asked, "Mr. Lu, didn't you go home a long time ago? Why...?"

"I sat in the car for a while."

He answered without looking up.

Shen Zhiyi's words caught in her throat, "Oh, I see."

She almost thought the other person was waiting for her.

But that seems impossible. Who is Lu Zichuan? Why would he wait for her? Besides, they were on the garage driveway, which is in a different direction from the sidewalk. How could he possibly know from inside the car when she would finish her tug-of-war with Xu Zhesheng?

It was probably just a coincidence.

With a "ding," the elevator arrived at the fifteenth floor.

Shen Zhiyi turned to Lu Zichuan and smiled, "Then, Mr. Lu, I'll be going now."

Lu Zichuan gave a faint "hmm," his voice flat and without any further words.

Shen Zhiyi didn't say anything more and walked straight out of the elevator.

......

The next day, perhaps because she had stood outside for too long the night before, or perhaps because she had spent too long in the misty air while helping Lu Zichuan, Shen Zhiyi's throat felt a little uncomfortable.

She made herself two packets of cold medicine, but still felt a little dizzy.

But with the movie coming to an end soon, she couldn't take leave, so she dragged her aching body to the set.

The movie has finished filming, and all that's left on set is cleaning up.

Their editing team had to wait until the film was finished before they could leave.

As soon as Shen Zhiyi entered, Yu Meng'an noticed that she didn't look well and quickly came over to ask with concern, "Sister Zhi, what's wrong?"

Shen Zhiyi rubbed her temples, forcing herself to cheer up: "I might have caught a bit of a cold, but it's nothing serious. How's the movie coming along?"

As her assistant, Yu Meng'an needed to connect all the currently edited clips together. She opened the file and sent it to Shen Zhiyi: "Sister Zhiyi, based on the current progress, we don't need to wait until Friday; we can finish on Thursday!"

She said excitedly, "After this is over, I'm definitely going to take a good vacation. I've already made plans with my colleagues to go to Africa to chase tigers! Sister Zhi, do you want to come with us?"

Shen Zhiyi, remembering that she had just agreed to go to Lu Zichuan's company, declined, saying, "No need, I have other plans."

Yu Meng'an pouted: "Sister Zhi, you're not going to keep editing, are you? You've never given yourself a break in all these years, aren't you tired?"

"That Director Xu is really something! He wants you to edit movies, and he wants you to edit all those TV dramas. It's like he can't live without you!"

"You don't know, do you? If it weren't for Su Manman's incident, we would all have thought you and Director Xu had an improper relationship!"

Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment, then laughed: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a married woman."

"Yes! But you've always been associated with Director Xu all these years. You two aren't even related. With your skills, before Director Xu became successful, many famous directors had tried to recruit you, but you refused them all. Instead, you wanted to participate in Director Xu's projects. Wouldn't people start to misunderstand?"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhiyi said to Yu Meng'an, "Yes, this is the last project we will work on with him. We won't be working together again in the future."

Yu Meng'an's eyes widened: "Really?"

"So where will you go next? Is there a better way out?"

"That's not right. Director Xu is the hottest director right now. So many editors want to work on his projects. Even if you go out there, you'll hardly find a director more famous and talented than him..."

Before Shen Zhiyi could speak, she heard a soft cough from behind. Turning around, she saw Xu Zhesheng, dressed in a black suit, standing at the door, his gaze sweeping over her and Yu Meng'an. He had clearly overheard their conversation.

"Director Xu!" Yu Meng'an greeted him playfully.

Shen Zhiyi's gaze lingered on him for only half a second before she looked away. He was lucky; he stood outside with her yesterday and didn't seem uncomfortable at all.

"The movie is almost over, so please pay attention and don't just think about chatting all the time!"

"Today I will be on set checking the previous footage, and if there is anything I'm not satisfied with, I'll be prepared to make changes at any time."

Xu Zhesheng gave Yu Meng'an a meaningful look before stepping into the innermost office that had been specially prepared for him.

As he passed Shen Zhiyi's seat, his steps were unwavering, as if he were not the one who had stood in the wind last night pleading that he was wrong.

Shen Zhiyi calmly withdrew her gaze, feeling that this was for the best; he wouldn't cause her trouble, and she wouldn't take the initiative to contact him.

Just then, her phone rang; it was a message from Yu Meng'an.

She looked up at the other person, Yu Meng'an pointed in Xu Zhesheng's direction, then pointed to her own mouth, making a zipper-like gesture.

Shen Zhiyi chuckled and opened the chat window.

"Sister Zhi! Director Xu and Su Manman had a fight yesterday! No wonder he's been picking a fight as soon as he arrived today!"
