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

All eyes were on Pei Yi.

"I've heard that the Pei family is extremely aloof and rarely shows their faces. I guess it's that distant relative."

"Even if it's not a central company, its assets won't be bad; just this face alone is worth it."

Several bold young ladies stared intently.

Lu Zhi clenched her hands, thinking of the message he sent yesterday asking to be taken care of, and felt inexplicably unhappy.

She was flirting with me yesterday, and today she's attracting the attention of other women. What a flirtatious peacock!

A man's words should not be taken seriously.

Hearing the praises around him, Pei Yi noticed Lu Zhi's slightly furrowed brows and gave her a slight smile.

His features were impeccably clean, his dark eyes possessed a captivating charm, and his smile was absolutely stunning. He didn't make any seductive gestures, yet he could still stir one's emotions.

With such a strong influence, Lu Zhi was afraid of being affected, so she turned her face slightly away, but she couldn't help but keep watching with her eyes.

Pei Yi reached out and slightly turned the bracelet Lu Zhi was wearing around her neck. "I didn't notice, the bracelet I put on you was crooked."

The man's warm breath wafted over, and the two were now extremely close.

The faint aroma of the tea permeated Lu Zhi's nasal cavity, and surprisingly, it didn't smell unpleasant.

She lowered her eyes and listened intently.

Gu Yizhi's face darkened. Remembering Gu Yuanming's earlier warning, he couldn't directly berate Pei Yi. Instead, he glared fiercely at Lu Zhi, "Lu Zhi, you've really grown some guts, finding a new boyfriend right in front of me?"

His tone was fierce and aggressive.

A crowd of onlookers gathered in broad daylight.

It is an extremely shameful thing.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively gave in, wanting to pounce on Gu Yizhi as she always had.

It's almost become a habit.

But this time, it's different from the past.

The hand that had been holding hers beside Lu Zhi was suddenly grabbed tightly.

Her gaze secretly shifted, and she noticed that Pei Yi's face, which had been rosy and fair before, was now very pale, with a slight redness at the corners of his eyes, and tears seemed about to fall.

Everywhere you look, there is a sense of lingering attachment, like a pet that has been abandoned.

For some reason, Lu Zhi's heart softened, and she stood there, staring straight ahead.

He did not walk towards Gu Yizhi.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yizhi's face darkened even more. "What, do I have to invite you over?"

Lu Zhi raised her head and retorted weakly, "It's none of your business. Why didn't you stand up for me when I was being framed?"

"Ah, I just wanted to borrow the jewelry, I didn't think about this." Pei Yi feigned shock, looking extremely aggrieved, and took the opportunity to shake Lu Zhi's wrist. "I really didn't expect it to cause trouble."

Her face was flushed, and her eyes looked pitiful, as if she was deliberately trying to please Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi's ears also turned bright red.

Within seconds, he resumed his icy expression.

With an extremely aloof and detached expression, she said, "All the jewelry was lent to Zhizhi by me. If you have any questions about the jewelry, you can ask me."

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow, looked at Liu Dianyue, and smiled maliciously, "I'd be happy to answer."

When he said this, Pei Yi was calm and composed, without the slightest arrogance.

At this moment, everyone took a second look at him.

The perfectly tailored haute couture suit fits the wearer like a clothes hanger, perfectly tailored to the individual's body proportions.

His broad shoulders and narrow waist made him appear even taller, and his collar and tie were tied meticulously.

The wives who are used to seeing luxury goods can naturally recognize that the sheen of the fabric alone indicates that this outfit is very expensive.

Seeing that he was dressed in the same clothes and had a face, everyone believed him to be about 70-80%.

"It doesn't feel fake."

"Oh my god, I just thought Lu Zhi really made counterfeit goods, but I didn't expect to be framed."

"That's how it is for actors in the entertainment industry; they're all kind of people who can't be shown in public."

Xu Zhiping stepped in to smooth things over and end the farce, saying, "What kind of banquet would question a guest's attire? It's just ridiculous."

Jiang Xing was filled with shame and embarrassment, and he was completely unable to save face.

She turned her gaze to Liu Dianyue, her expression full of reproach, and whispered a reminder to Gu Yizhi, "Don't bring any ignorant Tom, Dick, or Harry to the banquet."

Shen Luoyao, who had just been held in Gu Yizhi's arms, immediately froze and turned much paler.

Lu Zhi smiled slightly, knowing full well that this was a way of diverting attention from the problem, but she didn't call it out. "Mom is right after all."

She sobbed softly a few times, her eyes reddening. "Yi Zhi, I really didn't mean it. Dian Yue probably misunderstood."

Using the same trick two or three times will make people feel disgusted.

Gu Yizhi felt that the image of gentleness that he had previously perceived was now somewhat shattered.

However, he is still the young master of Shengcheng.

So what if the woman I keep has a little temper? I plan to just let it go and not mention it.

Shen Luoyao cleverly apologized to Lu Zhi, saying, "I'm sorry."

Since Lu Zhi had brought her pretty boy to the banquet, he naturally didn't need to be polite. He coldly defended Shen Luoyao, deliberately trying to hurt her feelings, "Since it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to take it too seriously. Let's move on."

This statement implies that they intend to protect Shen Luoyao to the very end.

Lu Zhi's face turned deathly pale, and she was covered in cold sweat. This chilling feeling spread deep into her heart.

I really want to grab Gu Yizhi by the collar and ask him if this man has a heart at all.

But her frail body made Lu Zhi give up.

Seeing Lu Zhi's aggrieved expression, Pei Yi took a Ferrero Rocher and threw it at her. It hit Shen Luoyao's shoulder squarely, leaving a bright red mark.

Gu Yizhi immediately stepped forward to protect Shen Luoyao, "Why are you smashing things like that..."

"Sorry, I threw it in the wrong bin. I was going to throw it in the trash." Pei Yi said in a lazy voice, repeating the same sentence: "It was all a misunderstanding, so don't worry about it. Let's move on."

Even though they were saying the same thing, Lu Zhi felt that this voice was even more magnetic.

Lu Zhi chuckled.

With the wedding about to begin, it wouldn't be good to cause a scene now, so Gu Yizhi could only sulk with a dark expression.

-

The wedding officially began. The bride, dressed in a magnificent gown and veiled in white, walked slowly through a sea of ​​flowers.

Everything was luxurious, befitting a high-society wedding.

Laughter and noise created a lively atmosphere, and everything around was bustling.

Lu Zhi took everything in stride, only to feel a chill in her heart.

Suddenly I remembered my own wedding, which was extremely simple, with only less than five tables of banquet. The wedding dress was from a luxury brand, and many of the dresses were sponsored by Gujia's partners.

I didn't spend much money at all.

While Lu Zhi was feeling sad, a piece of candy suddenly appeared in front of her. The candy was half-peeled off. "Try it. It tastes good."

Following the sound, Pei Yi raised an eyebrow, his expression full of youthful vigor.

She looks really young.

Gu Yizhi gritted his teeth and flirted in front of him?

He couldn't help but sneer, "What, are your hands useless? Do you need someone to feed them?"
