We've been in a marriage of convenience for three years without sleeping together. Why am I goi

"Don't say that, although Lu Zhi is old-fashioned, she has a beautiful face. If she were to become a hostess, the brothel would definitely be packed."

"It's not good to tease her like that, she's Brother Gu's wife."

Another man patted him on the shoulder and said drunkenly, "What are you afraid of? Brother Gu didn't say anything."

Gu Yizhi, the person involved, didn't even lift his eyelids, sipping his wine alone.

Seeing this, Lu Zhi, who was hiding behind the corner, felt a chill in her heart, and even the gift she was carrying suddenly felt heavy.

The conversation continued.

"Luo Yao's movie grossed 300 million yuan, which really made Brother Gu proud."

"If it were me, I'd want a wife like Shen Luoyao, someone who's caring and considerate."

My friend grinned mischievously, "But Luo Yao, where is she? She said she'd be here by midnight, why didn't she show up?"

"I'll do my makeup later," Gu Yizhi said casually.

"Hey, Brother Gu actually knows how to cherish women, you should just spoil him." Several friends patted each other on the shoulder and laughed.

"When you get married, we'll definitely rip you off."

Gu Yizhi's lips curled up. "Don't worry, there will be plenty."

Amidst the tense atmosphere, a discordant voice chimed in, "What should we do with Lu Zhi?"

The atmosphere noticeably cooled after those words were spoken.

Lu Zhi is his nominal wife, a fact known throughout the entire Shengcheng social circle.

Gu Yizhi lit a cigarette in frustration. "I don't know. Let it sit."

"Brother Gu is really ruthless. Lu Zhi's figure and looks aren't bad either. Why don't you give her to me?"

"Okay." The dim lighting in the bar cast a half-light on his face, making him appear extremely nonchalant. "I'll give it to you when I'm done playing with it."

Gu Yizhi's casual attitude stung Lu Zhi's eyes.

My fingertips turned white from pinching them.

He's so sure he can't leave that he's recklessly trampling on his own sincerity.

The others surrounded them, teasing, "You don't understand. The Gu family is famous for its devotion to one woman; for three generations, they've only had one wife."

"Lu Zhi will have to get out of here sooner or later."

Lu Zhi, who was standing behind a bar pillar, watched this scene unfold. Her heart clenched violently, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

Yes, Gu Jia is indeed "dedicated".

For three generations, they all had only one wife and never philandered.

Gu Yizhi seems to have inherited this focus, only the object of his attention is not himself.

In his past life, Gu Yizhi was madly in love with an artist named Shen Luoyao, and had no other women.

Spending money like water, it covers almost every aspect of life.

Several large shopping mall screens, each worth millions, are guaranteed to be invested in once a film project is selected…

They spoiled her to the extreme.

Their love story has become the envy of the entire internet.

He completely ignored his nominal wife, Mrs. Gu.

In her quest for favor, she even ventured into the entertainment industry.

During their competition, an accident occurred, and he immediately disregarded his own safety to protect Shen Luoyao.

Lu Zhi never doubted this love.

There's just one strange thing.

He especially liked having Shen Luoyao dress up according to his style, whether it was on a date, during a kiss, or even when they were intimate in bed together...

Is it also to highlight 'loyalty'?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhi felt a lump in her throat and a wave of nausea washed over her. "Ugh."

The commotion caught the attention of several people chatting at the bar.

When the group saw the gift in her hand, their eyes lit up, and they immediately surrounded her, greeting her with "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Thinking of their betrayal in my past life.

Lu Zhi's hand trembled slightly, and she lost her grip, causing all the gifts to fall heavily to the ground.

"You're here to keep Brother Gu company again? You're too kind, sister-in-law, you always bring gifts."

"You've gone to a lot of trouble."

"No way, it's all easily identifiable money anyway."

The group's faces were full of flattery, as if they were completely different people who had just belittled Lu Zhi and praised Shen Luoyao.

Lu Zhi didn't miss the disdain and contempt in their eyes, and clenched her fists.

The reason they said that was simply because of the gift they held.

She's so stupid.

I never understood it before.

In her past life, she went to great lengths to please the clique behind Gu Yizhi, always choosing the best things for him.

Fortunately, fate smiled upon her and gave her a chance to be reborn.

It's not a bad thing to wake up now.

Lu Zhi frowned, cleared her throat, and said, "Don't misunderstand, my gift is for someone else."

A look of disbelief flashed across the eyes of those men.

Wan Chuan, whose family background was slightly lower, stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Sister-in-law Gu, you're really joking. If you're jealous of how good Brother Gu is to Luo Yao, there's no need to take it out on us."

In the dim light of the bar, the man leaned against the bar counter, his face as carefree as ever, his eyebrows slightly raised, unmoved.

Seeing that her so-called "husband" in name had no intention of protecting her.

Lu Zhi bit her lip, her heart aching slightly, but she maintained her pride on her face.

She lowered her eyes, parted her lips slightly, and said, "She doesn't even deserve to make me jealous."

Then, those slender hands opened and scattered the gifts they had brought in all directions, the movements extremely unrestrained: "Whoever finds them keeps them."

Within seconds.

The people who had just been drinking at the bar immediately gathered around Lu Zhi and began picking up the gifts.

I thought it was an event arranged by the store.

As Lu Zhi made her move, the atmosphere in the bar immediately became lively.

The DJ on stage cleverly switched to a fast-paced, upbeat song.

The group of people looked at each other, their faces turning quite grim, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Lu Zhi loves Gu Yizhi so much, yet she would do something like this.

"You..." Wan Chuan stared wide-eyed at Gu Yizhi, "Brother Gu."

Gu Yizhi pursed his lips, seemingly lost in thought.

Silence.

In the end, Wan Chuan kept quiet, and everyone remained silent.

-

Time ticked by, until a figure stepped into the bar from the entrance.

Lu Zhi looked at the girl who resembled him by about 70%.

Shen Luoyao was dressed in an extremely pure and innocent style, wearing a very form-fitting Dior dress that exposed her skin above her shoulders.

It makes her appear even more charming.

This contrasted sharply with his own all-black suit, which covered him completely.

It only serves to highlight my own lifelessness.

The few people who hadn't dared to utter a word before suddenly seemed to have found their pillar of support. "Luo Yao is here."

Shen Luoyao winked playfully, "I'm late. My manager is so clumsy; she didn't manage the time well."

"It's alright, we're all on the same side."

"You're just too sensible and polite, unlike someone else."

"We like your personality."

The compliments from the group were endless, making the person in front of them seem like a little princess.

Shen Luoyao smiled, but her eyes looked up slightly, revealing a hint of grievance. "Sister Zhizhi, you don't seem to welcome me very much."

"No, I can't bear to hear you say that." Lu Zhi raised her eyes slightly, easily seeing through the little trick, and leaned close to her ear, "Do you think this is ancient times, where I'm the principal wife and you're the concubine?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Luoyao's almond-shaped eyes reddened slightly, and she looked at the man. "Yi Zhi."

"Why did you have to make things so embarrassing?" He frowned slightly, as if blaming Lu Zhi for being so immature.

Lu Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face paled considerably.

It only took a few seconds.

She suppressed her hurt feelings, forced herself to remain calm, stared intently at the man in front of her, and asked in a trembling voice, "It was me who caused the trouble."

"Then what about the wedding banquet from before?"

"The old man is confused; he still remembers the life-saving grace he received before." Gu Yizhi's dark eyes remained unchanged, showing no trace of guilt.

Lu Zhi's heart sank.

Does this mean they've completely severed ties?

Her almond-shaped eyes were fixed on the man, trying to find even a trace of the love they once shared, but she couldn't see any.

Amidst the bustling crowd, their eyes met, and he parted his lips slightly, "Of course, if you insist on fairness, you can pick one from here at will."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire atmosphere froze.

Even the friends who had defended Shen Luoyao earlier didn't dare to make a sound.

"Brother Gu, isn't this too serious?"

"Calm down, there's no need to be angry."

Shen Luoyao suppressed the smug smile that was playing on her lips, and said gently and considerately, "No, I don't want you to suffer controversy because of me."
