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

As more and more people commented, the number of likes exceeded several hundred.

The vast majority of them were compliments.

Lu Zhi suddenly felt bored and turned off her WeChat Moments.

Her gaze fell precisely on Shen Luoyao and Gu Yizhi.

The white dress resembled a wedding gown, and they held hands.

Combined with the surrounding scenery, it looks like a wedding is about to take place.

Lu Zhi's face turned deathly pale.

The Xu and Gu families were on good terms, and the guests began to discuss the matter more freely.

"Wow, Mr. Gu is quite the ladies' man."

"This must be Shen Luoyao, the hottest star right now, with several breakout movies. I never imagined she'd be backed by President Gu. She's got both beauty and money!"

"A woman still needs to have her own career. Look how miserable Lu Zhi is."

Upon hearing the comparison, Lu Zhi's face paled slightly.

He casually glanced at the guests present and noticed that even the most notorious playboys were accompanied by several female companions.

However, her nominal "husband" was only Shen Luoyao.

It's like he can't live without her.

Beside the playboy, a sexy woman in a tight-fitting bodycon dress toasted Shen Luoyao with a glass of wine, saying, "Sister, your makeup is so beautiful, so attractive. Can you teach me how to do it?"

"No way," Shen Luoyao said smugly.

Gu Yizhi just let her have her way with that look.

Lu Zhi frowned slightly.

Clearly, discussing makeup is just the surface; the real question is how to gain exclusive favor.

Is even this going to become a tutorial?

She gave a self-deprecating smile, but didn't voice her true feelings.

During their casual conversation, the man in the suit and vest walked over and gently patted Gu Yizhi on the shoulder. "Oh, Mr. Gu, you've got another new romantic encounter."

The mocking remarks were filled with disdain.

Lu Zhi looked up and recognized that this was Gu Yizhi's mortal enemy, Sima Ping.

The two have been at odds since childhood. Even though they're in the same circle and constantly undermine each other behind the scenes, they still manage to maintain a facade of politeness.

Until the Lu family offered assistance.

The Gu family had a slight edge and firmly established themselves as the most prestigious family in Shengcheng.

"But I don't seem to see your wife, Lu Zhi. Perhaps your backyard is on fire?" Sima Ping provocatively said. "The three great fortunes in life are promotion, wealth, and a new wife. President Gu has all of them, so he's quite lucky. I'm not so fortunate."

"After all, I don't have the full support of the Lu family."

At this moment, the man before him had mastered the art of praising in name only while subtly criticizing in reality.

They were practically ready to curse him out.

He made his fortune entirely thanks to Lu Zhi, who then abandoned him after starting something.

Lu Zhi lowered her eyes, her brows relaxing slightly.

Although he wasn't exactly a saint either, with a constant stream of scandals and even pursuing her.

Of course, in the process of pursuing her, I actively cut off many potential romantic interests.

She didn't choose him, which subsequently brought her a lot of retaliation.

She was almost raped by someone he hired.

It was a tragic love affair.

Snapping out of her reverie, she looked up and saw Gu Yizhi holding Shen Luoyao tightly. He said, "Our company covers a wide range of businesses and has many partners. I've brought you here to broaden your horizons."

Seeing his protective stance, Lu Zhi's heart trembled.

When she was being harassed by Sima Ping, Gu Yizhi didn't say a word; he was just someone who happened to be passing by.

They realized something was wrong and rescued her.

"It's already dinner time, and you're still talking business?" Sima Ping teased with a smile, "It's such a pity that this beauty is with such a blockhead. Why don't you come with me?"

Shen Luoyao nestled obediently in the man's chest, looking like a little bird seeking shelter.

"Is it a dog? It likes to go into heat so easily." Gu Yizhi raised his eyelids and said sarcastically, "Want to play? I'll call a few women for you."

Sima Ping's eyes held a malicious glint. "Since Young Master Gu is so generous, why not give Lu Zhi to me?"

"OK."

The man's tone was indifferent and casual.

Upon being singled out, Lu Zhi stood frozen in place, her eyes filled with disbelief and a look of terror.

He knew perfectly well.

Those holidays.

It seemed that her fear satisfied the man's perverse sense of humor.

Sima Ping lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "Forget it. You're willing to go to the trouble of dressing up, but you can't afford to pay for it if it gets damaged."

Only then did everyone's attention fall on her, noticing that her attire was unusual.

Under the lights, the dress was entirely light blue, with rows of Swarovski crystals embellishing the hem. Her light makeup made her look dignified and elegant, and she exuded a rich sense of nobility.

It's as if it can only be admired from afar and not touched.

A sapphire weighing several hundred carats adorned her fair neck, dazzlingly bright.

Upon seeing this, the wives who had been mocking her immediately changed their expressions.

They were all seasoned veterans, yet they couldn't help but be captivated.

Lu Zhi stood still, letting these gazes scrutinize her.

He didn't even lift his head.

She attended the banquet only to play the role of Mrs. Gu for three years and to reclaim Jingyuan.

The murmurs of the crowd resumed.

"Damn, who said Mrs. Gu wasn't favored? She's decked out in jewelry, and her net worth is almost equivalent to the market value of some companies."

"I'm so envious. I remember seeing a similar one at an auction last time, but my husband thought it was too expensive and wouldn't let me buy it."

"You look so good in that outfit."

After comparison, Shen Luoyao's outfit seemed too stingy and timid, making her appear lacking in elegance.

Several ladies immediately surrounded her.

The people who had been surrounding Shen Luoyao all turned towards her.

"Wow, your jewelry is so beautiful. Which auction house is it from?"

"The condition is really good. Do you have the craftsman's contact information?"

"The clothes are nice too."

Gu Yizhi didn't even glance at them, and went to chat about business with his other partners after picking up his wine glass.

Lu Zhi felt a chill run down her spine.

During their conversation, Lu Zhi secretly glanced at Shen Luoyao and noticed that her face was frozen, and she was gritting her teeth and pretending to maintain her composure.

Shen Luoyao pretended to compliment her, just like everyone else around her, "You look really good."

A slight smile curved her lips, and she felt a little happier.

Before Shen Luoyao could speak, the woman behind her, her face flushed with anger, said, "What the hell? This is too much! President Gu actually gave such luxurious jewelry to Lu Zhi, but not to you!"

I had met Lu Zhi in my previous life; she was Shen Luoyao's loyal lackey, Liu Dianyue.

Just by following behind, they snatched up a lot of resources and gained more opportunities than ordinary artists.

They're a bunch of snakes and rats.

Thinking about it, Shen Luoyao started her performance again. She frowned, shook her head slightly, and said, "Don't say anything more. It's Yi Zhi's freedom to give himself to whomever he wants."

Her pitiful expression, coupled with her reddened eyes, made her look quite vulnerable.

She seemed like a victim betrayed by a man.

Shen Luoyao spoke softly, "Maybe I'm just unlucky. I've never seen this necklace at the Gu family's house."

Liu Dianyue, her face dark, comforted her, "Don't worry, Yaoyao, it's probably just a momentary lapse of judgment."

"After all, you'll always be the one he loves most. Don't forget how sweet you two used to be. He booked the entire amusement park, bought you the latest luxury brands, and even booked the mall's giant screen for your birthday celebration..."

With each additional matter mentioned, Lu Zhi's face grew paler.

She bit her lip hard to keep herself from losing her composure.

original……

He did so much for Shen Luoyao in private.

What about yourself?
