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

Lu Zhi was forcefully pulled into his arms, leaving a mark on her neck.

I could smell the rose perfume on him.

She felt nauseous and tried to push him away with her arm, but after a lot of effort, she couldn't move him.

"Don't push me away." The drunken man forcefully grabbed her, his breath hot on her. "You dressed up especially for me today, did you have other men with you?"

In this way.

The area of ​​skin in contact between the two people increased.

Those areas were all red and swollen from the allergy.

Lu Zhi even felt like she couldn't breathe properly, a feeling of being half-suffocated.

We must find a way to push him away.

She closed her eyes, steeled her resolve, and leaned forward. "Yes, I dressed up especially for you. We can announce our good news at the Xu family's wedding banquet later."

"That way, I can officially become Mrs. Gu."

Being too proactive disgusted the man; his eyes turned bloodshot. "Don't even think about it."

The desired effect was achieved, but an unexpected event occurred.

He gripped his own neck tightly.

In an instant, Lu Zhi felt a strong sense of suffocation and bit her lip hard until blood flowed out.

Lu Zhi stood still, offering no resistance.

I was afraid of angering him.

Fortunately, Gu Yizhi was intoxicated, and it didn't last long.

Seemingly sensing her surprise, Gu Yizhi slowly released his grip and stumbled to the ground, completely drunk.

Lu Zhi called out to Wang Ma, "He's drunk, take him to his room."

"I'm not drunk, Luo Yao, let's continue."

Upon hearing this voice, Lu Zhi's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled.

She controlled her emotions.

Tell yourself not to argue with a drunkard.

With Wang Ma's help, Gu Yizhi fell asleep on the sofa.

Aunt Wang asked in a low voice, "What about tonight's banquet?"

"Wait until he wakes up." Lu Zhi thought for a moment, worried that something else might happen, so she changed her mind, "No, wake him up when we're about to leave."

Perhaps wanting to ease tensions, Wang Ma suggested, "What about his clothes? Madam, why don't you help your husband change later?"

Lu Zhi glanced at Gu Yizhi in silence.

The man lying on the sofa had his hair slicked back, thick eyebrows, and his usually sharp brown eyes were tightly closed, making him look less aggressive. His looks were indeed impeccable.

He looks a little more pleasing to the eye when he's quiet.

However, his attire was extremely unkempt; his tie was loose, his coat was wrinkled, and the top two or three buttons of his shirt were undone, with a woman's lipstick stain on them.

The shirt also had wine stains, making it far from presentable.

He no longer resembles Young Master Gu of Shengcheng at all.

I could smell the faint scent of roses.

Lu Zhi instructed with a slight headache, "Prepare another set of clothes later, we can change when we get to the Xu family's venue."

Wang Ma was somewhat surprised by her suggestion. "Isn't that a bit impolite?"

"Our relationship with the Xu family doesn't require such formalities."

At her insistence, Wang Ma gave up.

With the banquet time fast approaching, and fearing another unexpected event, Lu Zhi didn't return indoors but stayed on the sofa nearby.

With nothing to do, Lu Zhi opened her phone.

A striking red message was displayed at the top, indicating a friend she had recently added.

Against the backdrop of a green manor, there is a handsome man.

With deep black hair, sharp eyebrows, and dark, gleaming eyes, he looked both dangerous and captivating.

He has a strong, defined face and fair collarbones.

Single name note: Pei.

Lu Zhi rubbed her temples, her brow furrowing slightly as she recalled the incident at the bar that day.

Over the years, Gu Jia has strictly controlled his social circle, guarding against people with ulterior motives.

Where she goes, who she stays with, what clothes she wears, and what time she returns all need to be reported to Gu's mother. If she shows any dissatisfaction, Gu's mother will scold her and force her to cancel the trip.

In her past life, she almost strictly followed this procedure and was extremely tolerant.

Later, when Gu's mother's attempts to make things difficult failed, she also found it boring and gradually relaxed.

Gu's mother's thoughts were obvious to him.

I want to change myself.

But she had made a promise to play Mrs. Gu for three years in exchange for returning to Jingyuan.

Lu Zhi didn't want to cause trouble out of thin air, and was about to delete the friend when a message suddenly came from the other side.

[A puppy peeks out from behind the screen, seemingly unrelated to the previous sentence.]

This is news that only the elite families in the industry know.

This person's background is not simple.

Lu Zhi replied: [It depends.]

Pei Yi: [Then I'll be waiting for you at the Xu family's dinner party. I've prepared a gift for you. ღ(´･ᴗ･`) Sending you love!]

Lu Zhi frowned.

This person is quite adept at taking advantage of opportunities.

Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.

Before publicly severing ties with Gu Yizhi, Lu Zhi didn't want to get too involved with other men. "No need, we have no connection."

Pei Yi: [Image.jpg]

Don't get me wrong, I'm just thanking you for bandaging my wound last time, so I'm returning the favor.

Lu Zhi frowned deeply, her guard instantly on high alert.

What does this sentence mean?

Are you trying to threaten me? Giving gifts in public, exposing our relationship, or using this opportunity to extort money or something else?

Lu Zhi regretted her actions when she got drunk at the bar.

She tentatively replied, "If you like it, keep it. No need for gifts. I'm not talking to you anymore."

After sending the message, I waited for several seconds, but there were no new messages.

This left Lu Zhi somewhat puzzled.

At that moment, she suddenly noticed some movement from the person on the sofa and quickly turned off her phone screen.

"Afraid I'll see? Are you hiding something shameful, like a lover?"

Listening to the man's sarcasm.

For no reason, I remembered what he said that day: that he would give himself away when he got tired of playing with me.

Lu Zhi took a few steps back guiltily, still trying to be defiant, "So what if we are? We haven't even gotten our marriage certificate yet."

"You said you'd find someone else, could it be that you've changed your mind?" Lu Zhi provoked the man, teasing him with her words, "Or maybe I should just confirm my status as Mrs. Gu."

Don't even think about it.

Perhaps due to the effects of alcohol, Gu Yizhi was aggressive as he approached.

He grabbed her by the neck, his voice filled with malice: "Keeping a mistress is fine, but be mindful of the occasion. Tonight is the Xu family banquet."

The only thing that hasn't changed is that arrogant attitude.

It seemed she was certain that she would not change her mind.

Her body trembled slightly.

With her neck being gripped, Lu Zhi raised her head with feigned composure and disdain, "Do you think I'm like you, keeping a mistress and making it public knowledge?"

"Just a few friends in the industry, is it really worth caring about?"

Looking at his nonchalant expression.

Lu Zhi's face turned pale, and she bit her lip tightly to control her emotions.

They had been together for many years.

She had never integrated into any of Gu Yizhi's circles.

After a long silence, he spoke first, "Make sure the banquet at the Xu family's house tonight is properly prepared."

"My parents are here too, so let's be more appropriate."

Lu Zhi stared at the woman's lipstick stain on his collar and couldn't help but say, "You're not exactly impeccable either."

Gu Yizhi frowned. "You didn't help me change my clothes."

The man seemed to have some reservations about this.

In the past, no matter what time he and Shen Luoyao returned home after drinking, Lu Zhi from his previous life would always come over, thoughtfully cook a bowl of hangover soup, and change him into clean clothes.

Having been disappointed by her experience at the bar, Lu Zhi now just wants to stay away from it.

Lu Zhi: "I've had Wang Ma prepare it. We can change it when we get to the Xu family."

"Why bother Wang Ma with such a trivial matter? Even though Lu's parents are dead, she still acts like a spoiled young lady!"
