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

Could it be that something happened that she doesn't know about?

Their relationship was no longer as passionate and intimate as it had been in their previous life.

Lu Zhi secretly peeked at her and noticed that Shen Luoyao's eyes were obviously more flustered, but she tried her best to hide it.

Unexpectedly, when Shen Luoyao lowered her head, Gu Yizhi did not reconcile easily; his dark eyes held a hint of estrangement and indifference.

The main music continued to play, while the wedding music was light and cheerful.

This added a touch of absurdity to their relationship.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the ball has begun! Please enjoy yourselves!" The emcee's voice came from all directions.

Lu Zhi was slightly stunned, but unexpectedly she was being watched by a pair of ambiguous eyes.

She looked up and saw that Pei Yi was impeccably dressed, in a sharp suit, with strong facial features, but the affection in his eyes softened his aggressiveness.

The two looked at each other. It has to be said that Pei Yisheng has a good appearance. If he changed his clothes slightly, he could probably debut on the spot.

Lu Zhi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but take a second look.

Gu Yizhi's face darkened, and he grabbed Lu Zhi's arm tightly.

Not long after, a low voice came from beside her ear, "I never realized you were such a lovesick woman?"

Lu Zhi looked up and saw that Gu Yizhi's face had darkened and his thick eyebrows were furrowed.

"The Pei family is not someone to be trifled with; don't get entangled with them lightly." Gu Yizhi lowered his voice and warned in a low voice, "Be careful not to die without a burial place."

Hidden within those words of concern were many selfish motives.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi's thin eyes revealed a desolate look, and she found it amusing.

Will they die without a burial place?

She had already done it in her past life.

In order to win back the favor of Gu Yizhi, she voluntarily lowered her status and entered the Chinese entertainment industry.

She learned various dances to please him and unconditionally championed the family, all in the hope that the public would focus on her, his nominal wife.

During the press conference, a huge spotlight fell on her and Shen Luoyao at the same time.

But Gu Yizhi only noticed Shen Luoyao.

Those steel pillars were so heavy, they hit her back and made her hurt terribly. She saw blood everywhere and her vision gradually blurred until she couldn't see anything anymore.

He didn't even glance back.

Just thinking about it made Lu Zhi's back ache, as if someone was sticking a needle into her flesh.

Lu Zhi forced herself to come back to her senses, her almond-shaped eyes gradually clearing, and she took the initiative to walk towards Pei Yi. "Would you mind dancing?"

Gu Yizhi's face turned completely dark.

good very good.

The tactic of feigning indifference to lure the prey has become increasingly sophisticated.

Gu Yizhi bit his lip hard, his eyes fixed on Lu Zhi like a wolf eyeing its prey. He leaned close to her ear and said, "You dare to jump with him? I guarantee you'll be ruined tomorrow, accused of cheating on your husband."

Lu Zhi retorted defiantly, her eyes filled with arrogance, "President Gu wouldn't even give me a marriage certificate, so what kind of Mrs. Gu am I? I just held a banquet."

He took a deep breath, and his heart felt inexplicably full.

As expected, Lu Zhi still cared about him; otherwise, she wouldn't have made a point of emphasizing his status.

But it must be said that this method was effective.

Gu Yizhi raised an eyebrow and made a condition: "If you dance with me, we'll get our marriage certificate after today."

His tone was as arrogant as ever, and the man's thick eyebrows lowered his eyes, which were full of contempt, but his dark eyes showed no trace of pretense.

Pei Yi maintained a calm demeanor, but his heart was pounding wildly inside; he was practically going crazy.

original.

It turns out they hadn't even gotten their marriage certificate yet, and he had his chance.

But what if Lu Zhi agrees?

Upon further reflection, Pei Yi felt a surge of apprehension and looked at Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi stood there stunned, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, her heart skipping a beat, and she was shamefully moved.

She knew this was serious.

What I desperately sought in my past life can be fulfilled instantly at this moment.

Loving him has almost become a habit.

After so many years of childhood friendship, how can feelings be severed overnight?

It was as if the spirit of her past life was constantly haunting her, telling her that if she agreed, she could turn back.

Just as Lu Zhi hesitated, Pei Yi stood in front of her without any politeness, "Young Master Gu, you still haven't gotten rid of your old ways of the pleasure quarters, still fond of seducing young actresses."

"Or are you planning to tie her down for the rest of her life with a marriage certificate?" His dark eyes were full of provocation.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi snapped out of her daze and felt a wave of nausea.

Yes.

How can she still harbor such delusions?

Gu Yizhi had said these words to countless minor celebrities; they might even have become sweet nothings whispered between them in bed.

Seeing Lu Zhi's interest, Gu Yizhi felt more confident facing Pei Yi and smiled slightly, "Isn't it a bit too much of a concern, Young Master Pei, to interfere in my sweet talk with my wife?"

"That's not a very polite way to address someone. If we haven't registered our marriage, you should call me 'Madam'." Pei Yi smiled slightly and retorted, his gentlemanly demeanor impeccable.

Gu Yizhi turned his head, his dark eyes holding a half-smile, "We've already had a wedding."

"If you haven't registered your marriage, it doesn't count."

"Of course, if you have any suggestions regarding wedding expenses, I'll contribute some money for you, and wish you a speedy break-up with Lu Zhi."

Pei Yi extended his fair palm and placed it in front of Lu Zhi. "Beautiful lady, may I invite you to dance?"

Having clarified the relationship, Pei Yi's actions are tantamount to a direct declaration of war.

Gu Yizhi's face darkened. "Lu Zhi, what do you think?"

The man's thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed, exuding an air of oppression. His dark eyes seemed to be interrogating a criminal, and his lips were clenched tightly.

The air pressure around us dropped several degrees.

Having known each other for many years, how could Lu Zhi not know that Gu Yizhi was seriously about to get angry?

Lu Zhi tried her best to resist the uneasy atmosphere, reaching out her slender hand to place it in Pei Yi's palm, and asked cautiously, "Does the invitation from earlier still stand?"

"All my promises to you will always stand." A faint aroma of tea wafted over, and Lu Zhi glanced at Pei Yi, whose rugged face softened into a gentle smile.

The man's posture remained upright, as if he could withstand any storm.

She kept all her tenderness to herself.

As the waltz music played in the venue, everything around us felt like a fairy tale.

The man gripped her hand even tighter. After many years, this was the first time Lu Zhi had held another man's hand. The hand, which looked bony, was surprisingly soft to the touch.

As soon as she touched it, Lu Zhi felt that it was so slippery that she could hardly hold on. As it slid down, it was firmly caught by her other hand.

Gu Yizhi found the scene extremely offensive, and he was so angry that his lungs felt like they were going to explode. He wished he could chop off his other hand.

Lu Zhi really went to any lengths to spite him.

Since that's the case, he'll teach her a lesson. Gu Yizhi took Shen Luoyao's hand and said, "I remember you have a good foundation in dance."

Shen Luoyao blushed, "I've learned a little bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yizhi secretly observed Lu Zhi.

I estimate it will be a while before they can't help but come and cause trouble.
