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

Upon hearing these words, Lu Zhi felt a chill run down her spine.

Having been each other's bedmate for many years, she knew all too well whether Gu Yizhi had such thoughts.

The man in front of me had his hair slicked back as usual, his dark eyes were devoid of any emotion, and his entire being exuded aggression.

Lu Zhi wanted to say something, but Gu Yuanming, who was on the hospital bed, coughed twice, and seemed to be in poor condition.

This elder in the Gu family had taken care of her for many years.

Even if Lu Zhi wanted to leave the Gu family, she didn't want to leave a bad impression.

She offered him a glass of water, and Gu Yuanming, feeling a little better, sat up from the hospital bed: "Zhizhi, you've worked so hard all these years. My son is such a scoundrel."

Gu Yizhi frowned deeply, but didn't take it to heart because he was a patient.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi's eyes stung, and she almost burst into tears as she recounted the events of the past few years.

Gu Yuanming had a very good relationship with his deceased parents.

But considering the three-year engagement and the Jingyuan Garden, Lu Zhi gave up.

no need.

She bit her lip, looked up and lied, "Actually, it's okay. He and Shen Luoyao have an investment relationship. When they're out socializing, they're bound to get involved."

Seeing her blinking, Gu Yuanming sighed.

This girl is still the same as when she was a child.

Not good at lying.

Fortunately, she still likes Gu Yizhi, otherwise she wouldn't have helped cover up the lie.

Lu Zhi bent down and said, "Dad, don't keep sighing. A good mood is essential for your health."

Gu Yuanming turned his head away and scolded sternly, "Don't try to fool me. Just because Zhizhi is sensible and doesn't hold grudges doesn't mean this old man can't see things clearly."

"That little actress needs to cut off all contact right now, don't let her cause me any more scandals." Gu Yuanming placed Lu Zhi's hand in Gu Yizhi's hand, "It's better for you two to live a good life together, that's all that matters."

Having not touched it for a long time, Lu Zhi subconsciously recoiled, trying to escape, but the man's large hand gripped her even tighter.

Gu Yizhi's expression remained indifferent. "Okay."

Lu Zhi couldn't discern his thoughts.

It doesn't matter anyway.

After all, they had spent a lifetime together. If he truly loved her, how could Shen Luoyao even exist?

It's nothing more than a perfunctory statement.

So Lu Zhi, unusually, did not object and held hands with Wang Ma until Wang Ma came to tell them it was time to eat. Only then did the two leave the ward together.

Shortly after leaving the ward, in the corridor.

Gu Yizhi completely dropped his pretense, raising an eyebrow. "Lu Zhi, you should break up with that pretty boy as soon as possible."

The commanding tone made Lu Zhi very unhappy.

In the past, it was because she loved him that she was willing to tolerate Gu Yizhi's shortcomings.

Since you've already decided to stay away from her for the rest of your life, then her breasts are still breasts. She takes sertraline every day until her stomach hurts. Who isn't a patient at heart?

Lu Zhi retorted, "Are you ordering me around? Should I tell Dad right now that we haven't even gotten our marriage certificate yet?"

"You dare." Gu Yizhi glared at her fiercely, like a hungry wolf wanting to devour her whole.

He exuded an aura of danger.

Sensing danger, Lu Zhi subconsciously took a few steps back, wanting to be safe and not wanting to lose face in public and provoke Gu Yuanming again.

What I just said was just talk.

Seeing that she was obedient, Gu Yizhi's breathing calmed down a bit, and he lowered his head, saying, "Be a good Mrs. Gu, and I will give you everything you want."

"Money? Shares? Status?" Lu Zhi sneered, questioning, "Or your so-called cheap love?"

"They will all be there," Gu Yizhi said, rubbing his temples.

He had originally intended to promote Shen Luoyao to the position of official wife, but after today's ball, she was far too incapable of taking on such a responsibility.

Shen Luoyao is not the right person she is looking for.

It would be best to treat her as a plaything and not let her affect him. Thinking this, Gu Yizhi looked at Lu Zhi with a touch more tenderness in his eyes.

Hearing these words, Lu Zhi felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

What was the purpose of her lifelong toil in her previous life?

Title? Shares? Money? Love?

She felt like she hadn't gotten anything. Although she wasn't sure what had changed Gu Yizhi, she had already gambled once and lost miserably, shattered to pieces.

Never gamble a second time; Gu Yizhi's love and hate are too dangerous.

I, Lu Zhi, cannot bear this responsibility.

Lu Zhi raised her head. "So how much can you give me? The entire company will be under my name, all the funds will belong to me, I will always be Mrs. Gu, and you can never have a third party?"

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yizhi glanced at him and said, "Impossible."

"Don't be greedy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi felt a chill in her heart as always. She calmed down and said, "In that case, I won't be greedy. After the three-year marriage contract ends, you can't interfere with my friendships. I don't want anyone except Jingyuan."

"Okay," Gu Yizhi replied.

Lu Zhi felt a sudden dizziness, everything went black, and she collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, this is a hospital.

Within seconds, medical staff lifted Lu Zhi up and put her into a hospital bed.

After being put on an IV drip, Lu Zhi regained a little consciousness. Looking up, she saw only a few nurses busy at work and quickly asked, "Where's the gentleman who was with me?"

Nurse: "Not long after you fainted, he received a phone call. The girl said her bones hurt, so he went to stay with her at her bedside."

Lu Zhi lowered her eyes, seemingly mocking her own wishful thinking.

She actually thought about whether the two of them could go back to how they were before, just because of Gu Yuanming's two short sentences.

Lu Zhi inquired about the illness, fearing that she had fallen back into the terrible state of being plagued by all kinds of diseases in her previous life. Fortunately, the nurse explained that it was just low blood pressure.

The problem is not big.

Lu Zhi has now figured it out. Instead of fighting over something that will only end up in a mess and ruin her health.

It's better to just stay and tend to your own little plot of land.

He took back Jingyuan and lived his ordinary life.

tick-

The IV drip was flowing smoothly as Lu Zhi ate the hospital's boxed meal when an unexpected person walked in.

Lu Zhi looked up. The man was still wearing the same suit, but now he had two hickeys on his neck and smelled an extremely unpleasant rose perfume.

"Why aren't you with your little lover? What are you doing here?" Lu Zhi couldn't help but mock, but she didn't stop eating.

Gu Yizhi seemed not to hear her and sat down beside her bed. "Yaoyao is very strong and doesn't need anyone to stay with her."

So I came to see you.

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yizhi, seeing Lu Zhi's temperament, swallowed his words back.

Lu Zhi, afraid of being affected, quickly told them to leave, "I'm strong too, I don't need anyone to keep me company."

Upon hearing these words, Gu Yizhi smiled.

It turns out that all those talk about letting go are lies.

They cared so much about even a casual compliment from him and wanted to imitate it.

Gu Yizhi looked up and said seriously, "If you want to stay by my side, that's fine too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi almost spat out the mouthful of rice in her mouth.
