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

Lu Zhi gently picked up on the next line of the song, "We gaze into each other's eyes."

As she sang this line, her dark eyes met her almond-shaped eyes, conveying a powerful and expressive emotion.

Gu Yizhi's face darkened, and he tried his best to control himself.

She was singing perfectly fine at first, but then Shen Luoyao's voice cracked halfway through her singing, "Ah-!"

This immediately drew laughter from everyone.

"And this is supposed to be a popular celebrity lately?"

"Say less, you know that President Gu is behind you."

"They spent millions to hire Li Mengke to sing, and she just had to ruin it and make a fool of herself."

The clamor of conversation made Shen Luoyao's face even more embarrassed. She memorized all the faces of these people and secretly clenched her fists.

Since it was someone he brought, Gu Yizhi's expression wasn't much better, and he was preparing to move away.

Shen Luoyao's vision went black, and she fell to the side.

Gu Yizhi caught it immediately.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and her voice was weak. "Did I get into trouble? I really didn't mean to. My head is so dizzy, I think I have heatstroke."

"It's alright. Your health is more important than your reputation." Gu Yizhi caringly took a cup of coffee and fed it to her.

The aroma of coffee wafting around made Lu Zhi feel unusually bitter, so she reached out and covered her mouth and nose.

The movements were skillful and fluid, suggesting that the person had likely experienced similar situations many times in private.

Lu Zhi bit her lip hard until it bled.

I felt a little better after that.

Suddenly, a burst of tea aroma dispelled the lingering smell, and Pei Yi took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

Lu Zhi glanced at it; it looked quite valuable, a light gray-brown Burberry handkerchief, with a market value of probably tens of thousands of yuan.

Before the Lu family fell on hard times, they would keep some on hand and occasionally use them as gifts.

A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Zhi's eyes. Wasn't this person asking her to be his sugar daddy?

How can you still use such expensive little items?

She felt a little curious, but didn't ask any more questions, after all, what if it was just a simple hobby of collecting?

Lu Zhi took it, wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, and said, "I'll return it to you after I wash it clean next time."

"Okay." Pei Yi smiled and did not refuse.

The handkerchief is worthless, but the chance to meet again is much more precious.

Thus, the two developed a tacit understanding.

Lu Zhi lowered her head and realized that whenever she was so angry with Gu Yizhi that she was trembling all over, Pei Yi's presence could alleviate most of her emotions.

The other medicine seemed to be a good remedy for him, less irritating to his stomach than sertraline.

Keeping someone as a sugar daddy is a good idea.

Once bitten, twice shy; Lu Zhi didn't want to be tied to a man for life anymore, so she set a time limit.

It took exactly three years, just enough time to smoothly acquire Jingyuan.

Lu Zhi had spent too much time with Pei Yi today, so she should keep some distance from him. She took the initiative to send him away, saying, "There's a patch of azaleas by the fountain, they're quite pretty. Could you pick a few for me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Zhi noticed that Pei Yi hadn't moved. "If you don't know the way, you can ask the staff for directions."

"You're prettier than Du Juan, so that's why it took so long." After waiting for several seconds, Pei Yi parted his thin lips slightly, seemingly not very good at coaxing people, and his whole demeanor was a little awkward.

The words may be deceiving, but the blush on her cheeks doesn't lie.

Lu Zhi felt the tea flavor intensify, and her ears turned bright red. "How do you know if you haven't even seen it?"

There are many azaleas in the world, but you are one of a kind.

Lu Zhi's heart was pounding, it was getting hot, so she quickly chased the person away.

The wedding organizers arranged games in the east area, and many guests went there, but Lu Zhi wasn't very interested and stayed where she was.

-

Just when Lu Zhi wanted to take a peaceful rest, trouble struck.

Shen Luoyao, who was also resting, regained her rosy complexion and looked at Gu Yizhi with slightly moist eyes, "It's all my fault. I didn't know Lu Zhi could sing, so..."

Gu Yizhi's face darkened, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "Lu Zhi, did you do this on purpose?"

Lu Zhi met his gaze defiantly, "So what?"

Gu Yizhi was annoyed. "Fine, I didn't know you could sing."

"You don't deserve it." Lu Zhi thought of all the effort she had put in in her past life and couldn't help but say what was on her mind.

Gu Yizhi grabbed her throat tightly, his eyes filled with malice, and threatened in a low voice, "Heh, I'm not worthy. And which wild man did you learn to sing for?"

"Let go." Lu Zhi felt a chill run down her spine as she noticed the movement coming from her neck.

With just a little force, the other party could kill her at any time.

Upon hearing those two words, Gu Yizhi not only didn't let go, but gripped her even tighter, making it difficult for Lu Zhi to breathe.

Gu Yizhi turned his head, his tone full of defiance, "You think you can order me around?"

Lu Zhi's expression darkened slightly, and she began to regret sending Pei Yi away earlier.

I never imagined he would actually go to such lengths for Shen Luoyao.

Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with disappointment. Lu Zhi's heart ached terribly, and tears were about to fall, but she felt ashamed of herself.

After all, in his previous life, when the stage accident occurred, he also chose Shen Luoyao.

Lu Zhi had no choice but to change her strategy and try to persuade the man in front of her with benefits. "It's fine if you don't let go. Everyone knows you killed someone at the wedding banquet. We can be a pair of star-crossed lovers."

Gu Yizhi loosened his grip slightly, his eyes filled with disdain. "Wishful thinking. You don't even deserve it."

Ignoring the burning pain in her neck, Lu Zhi raised her head, her eyes unfocused, as if she didn't care about life or death. "The point isn't whether I dare or not. I have to thank Young Master Gu for giving me a chance."

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yizhi's eyes, but he couldn't help gritting his teeth, "You smooth talker, you'd better watch out that you die from that mouth one day."

"I don't need to worry about me, Young Master Gu. After all, the engagement will end in three years." Lu Zhi put her hands on her neck and stretched her muscles.

I never imagined that Lu Zhi, who had become timid and hesitant since her parents passed away, would change her personality so drastically.

But when I think about how Lu Zhi, who once lived in a wealthy family, was also so unforgiving, I realize that...

It can be explained clearly.

Upon hearing the words "the engagement is over," Gu Yizhi's heart raced again, as if he were about to lose something important.

That feeling of discomfort has persisted since it was first raised.

Gu Yizhi reached out, pretending to straighten his tie, but actually trying to fill his heart with pent-up emotions, only to find it was all in vain.

Shen Luoyao lowered her head and obediently and gently retied his tie. Taking this opportunity, the woman's slender fingers also adjusted the buttons and pressed them down.

It instantly aroused the man's lust.

In a moment of euphoria, Gu Yizhi forgot his earlier panic and immediately leaned down to kiss him.

Shen Luoyao obediently responded to the kiss.

Seeing the two of them acting as if no one else was around, showing no fear of the other guests coming out later, it was a blatant disgrace to his wife.

Lu Zhi's eyes showed even greater disappointment.
