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

"Ah Zhe!"

A sweet, coquettish voice called from behind.

She approached with a slightly unsteady gait, one hand supporting her pregnant belly. Seeing Xu Zhesheng exhaling smoke into the air, she raised her hand and fanned herself haphazardly in front of her nose, her tone tinged with a hint of coquettish complaint: "What's wrong? You never used to smoke, why did you suddenly start?"

Xu Zhesheng seemed not to hear, his gaze fixed like a nail on the black Ferrari that had just come to a stop in the distance.

The car windows were covered with one-way vision film, so he couldn't see inside, but he was absolutely certain that the figure getting out of the back seat was Shen Zhiyi.

Her features were etched into his very bones.

Even if you only showed him one eye and the tip of his nose, let alone his profile, he could recognize him in a crowd at a glance.

But how did she get out of Lu Zichuan's car?

Could it be that she was the one who dined with Lu Zichuan at the restaurant last time?

The thought slithered into his mind like a venomous snake, and Xu Zhesheng's fingers, which were holding a cigarette, twitched violently, causing the ash to fall in a flurry.

Her resolute decision to divorce wasn't out of spite, nor for that boy who hadn't even finished college, but because she had already climbed the social ladder by marrying Lu Zichuan?!

"impossible……"

Xu Zhesang clenched his teeth, his jaw muscles aching from the effort.

No matter how beautiful Shen Zhiyi is, she is just a divorced woman from an ordinary family. How could she be worthy of the Lu family?

A shrewd person like Lu Zichuan would never do such a losing business.

But when he thought of Shen Zhiyi standing behind Lu Zichuan in such a quiet and harmonious manner, he felt as if a million ants were gnawing at his heart. The fine and sharp itch crawled up his spine, making him wish he could rip his heart out and wash it thoroughly in cold water.

"Ah Zhe? Ah Zhe!"

Su Manman called out several times but received no response. She waved her hand in front of his eyes, and seeing his gloomy expression, she felt displeased and her tone turned somber: "What are you thinking about? This smoke is too strong. Although I'm fine with it, the baby in my belly can't stand it! Put it out right now!"

The word "baby" acted like a powerful injection, pulling Hsu Che-sheng back from the brink of losing control.

He snapped back to reality, expressionlessly stubbed out his cigarette on the nearby trash can, and said in a dry voice, "It's nothing."

He suppressed all outward emotions, opened the passenger door for Su Manman, and helped her into the car with a steady but not particularly gentle, movement.

The car started and drove away from the roadside.

Su Manman realized the route was wrong and quickly said, "Ah Zhe, you've gone the wrong way! To get to Jiangxing Entertainment, you should turn left; this is a long detour!"

"Jiangxing Entertainment?" Xu Zhesheng tightened his grip on the steering wheel and turned to look at her.

Su Manman pinched his cheek, her voice sweet and cloying: "Didn't you get the notification? President Lu said he saw our finished product and was very satisfied. He specially invited the entire crew to visit Jiangxing Entertainment! That place has tight security; only insiders can get in! All the other colleagues went there by bus, and I've been looking for you for ages... Oh dear, don't waste time, turn around quickly!"

She was so excited that her eyes and brows were beaming with joy, completely unaware of Xu Zhesheng's sudden change in expression:

"I never expected President Lu to actually extend an olive branch! His assistant just praised me, saying my acting was nuanced and very talented, and that the company has high hopes for me! Zhe, you're President Lu's classmate, so please remember to put in a good word for me later! Whether I can sign with Jiangxing Entertainment depends on this!"

Su Manman never expected that after her previous setbacks, such a good thing would happen to her now.

If she could have Lu Zichuan as her powerful backer, her acting career would be smooth sailing.

After the initial shock, Xu Zhesheng instantly sorted out the mess in his mind.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder Shen Zhiyi got out of Lu Zichuan's car.

The entire film crew was invited, and he and Su Manman went together, while Shen Zhiyi had to go alone.

Lu Zichuan knew about their relationship and had invited him before. This time, he used the excuse of visiting the film crew to get closer to them and take care of Shen Zhiyi by sending a car to pick her up. It was just a thoughtful gesture from Lu Zichuan, a person in a position of power.

Having figured this out, Xu Zhesheng's originally gloomy mood suddenly brightened, and even his tense shoulders relaxed.

Taking advantage of the red light, he adjusted his posture, and even unconsciously showed a reserved smile on his face.

"It seems that Lu Zichuan does have good judgment after all."

He spoke with a hint of smugness, "Don't worry, I'll bring up the contract with him. Since he took the initiative to invite me, he must want to cooperate. He'll definitely give me that much face."

Overjoyed, Su Manman, disregarding her large belly, leaned over and gave Xu Zhesheng a big kiss on the cheek: "Zhe, I knew you were the best!"

……

On the other side, the black Ferrari came to a smooth stop in front of the imposing building of Star Entertainment.

There were already people waiting patiently.

Assistant Wang is on leave today, and Assistant Liu has taken over.

Seeing Lu Zichuan get out of the car himself, he quickly stepped forward respectfully: "President Lu."

Lu Zichuan gave a faint "hmm," but instead of heading straight for the building, he walked around the front of the car and personally opened the car door for Shen Zhiyi, who got out of the back seat.

This action caused Assistant Liu's eyes to widen instantly, and his jaw almost dislocated.

He had been by Lu Zichuan's side for five or six years. Although he was not as senior as Assistant Wang, he had never seen any woman by Lu Zichuan's side, let alone personally opening the car door for a woman!

He was so shocked that he forgot to take the car keys and stood there frozen like a statue.

It wasn't until Lu Zichuan handed him the car keys that he snapped out of his daze, hurriedly taking them with his head bowed low, his heart churning with turmoil.

"Have someone from HR come to my office."

Lu Zichuan noticed his loss of composure, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice, though not loud, carried an undeniable pressure.

"Yes, Mr. Lu! I'll inform them immediately!"

Assistant Liu jumped up and quickly responded, running to park the car while frantically pulling out his phone to dial a number, his eyes involuntarily glancing at Shen Zhiyi.

That one glance made him catch his breath.

gorgeous.

Jiangxing Entertainment is full of beautiful women, from top actresses to up-and-coming newcomers; he has seen countless exquisitely crafted beauties.

But Shen Zhiyi's beauty is completely different.

She stood there quietly, neither arrogant nor impatient. The calm and aloof temperament between her brows and eyes was like a secluded orchid in a valley, instantly outshining those deliberately crafted glamours.

With someone like this by his side, it's no wonder that President Lu doesn't even glance at others.

As if sensing his gaze, Lu Zichuan glanced in their direction with his indifferent eyes. Assistant Liu hurriedly looked away, suppressing his gossipy heartbeat, and whispered sharply into the phone, his tone still tinged with lingering fear:

"Minister Wang, General Lu summons you! Immediately!"

At this point, he couldn't help but remind them:

"Minister Wang, President Lu has a woman with him! Let me warn you, don't let your eyes wander. I've never seen President Lu treat her like this before. He even opened the car door for her just now! I only glanced at her once, and President Lu looked at me like he wanted to devour me!"
