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

Lu Zhi gave up on the luxury brand clothing provided by the Gu family and casually picked up an orange LV dress, putting it on.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she seemed to have aged considerably, and Lu Zhi's low spirits lifted slightly.

Obsessed with her own beauty.

She didn't notice at all that a tall figure had appeared at the doorway.

He walked in.

Hearing footsteps, Lu Zhi looked up and saw Gu Yizhi.

I was originally thinking of bringing up the topic of breaking up.

Since the person has come on their own initiative and there are no other people to disturb them, it's the perfect time to chat.

The man stared at her for a long time, his gaze slightly surprised, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes. "Did you dress up for me?"

Lu Zhi glanced at the man's neck, where there were some red lipstick marks, some of which had spilled onto his collar.

The atmosphere of ambiguity in the romantic scene is quite obvious.

Who was he with after the bar last night?

What happened is self-evident.

Lu Zhi felt nauseous, avoided the man's gaze, and took a few steps back. "It's nothing, I just wanted to change it."

Gu Yizhi approached, exuding a dangerous aura.

The two were very close; Lu Zhi could even smell the faint scent of tobacco on him.

She frowned slightly, revealing a look of disgust, and prepared to bring up the topic of breaking up.

The man's strong arms reached out and pulled her into his embrace. He lowered his head, intending to kiss her.

The unexpected action startled Lu Zhi, who was somewhat surprised.

This situation has never occurred before.

Whether in her past life or in the past, whenever she tried to get close to a man, she would be pushed away without mercy.

All I received was disgust.

She was about to suggest breaking up when she was suddenly confronted.

How ironic.

"What are you thinking about?" The man seemed to notice the subtle movement, his eyebrows furrowing slightly in displeasure. "Look at me."

Lu Zhi pretended not to hear, turning her head away in resistance, not wanting to get too close.

The man lifted his chin with his strong hand.

Force them to look into each other's eyes.

His movements were very rough, as if he were punishing himself for his lack of focus.

Those hawk-like eyes were full of possessiveness, as if they wouldn't allow her to think about anything else while kissing.

too crazy.

Their eyes met for a long time, but Lu Zhi still had no intention of compromising, a sly glint flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.

In a moment of quick thinking, she took it out of her pocket and used her slender hands to lift her hands up.

Then, Lu Zhi looked at the man expectantly, a smile playing on her lips, "Come on, give me a kiss."

"I'll run out of material to take photos for Shen Luoyao later."

The man seemed to sense her thoughts; his eyes instantly lost their desire, and he pushed her away.

Lu Zhi's eyes dimmed slightly as well.

Sure enough, his white moonlight could only ever be Shen Luoyao, while he himself was just an insignificant existence.

The woman was in excruciating heart pain, but the man was adding fuel to the fire.

His chin was gripped tightly, and a sharp warning was uttered: "Don't even think about using tricks."

"Let me tell you, Luo Yao is the one I love in this life."

"Is that so?" Lu Zhi's tears were about to fall, and her shoulders completely collapsed, but she still forced herself to ask the question.

What does their long-standing relationship even mean?

Since you don't like it.

Why didn't they explicitly refuse the engagement and wedding in the first place?

Perhaps there were feelings between them, but...

I don't know when it started, but it gradually changed.

Lu Zhi had no intention of pulling too hard.

She lowered her eyelashes to conceal her disheveled appearance, feigning a strong stance, "Then let's get a public divorce, sever ties in front of everyone to make way for her, okay?"

After saying that, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Anyway, we haven't even gotten a marriage certificate."

I thought I would propose to publicly dissolve the engagement.

The man will agree quickly.

After waiting for several dozen seconds, Lu Zhi was in agony, but there was still no sound.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

She couldn't help but look up and meet his gaze.

Under the warm yellow light, the man's face was completely black, as if he was holding his breath.

After staring at him for a long time, he spoke: "What tricks are you planning to use this time?"

Clearly, they didn't take that statement seriously.

They were ignored.

Lu Zhi lowered her lips, offering no explanation.

Throughout the entire Shengcheng social circle, everyone knows that Lu Zhi is madly in love with this man named Gu Yizhi.

We will never give up easily.

It all stemmed from the many absurd things she had done for Gu Yizhi.

"I truly mean it." Lu Zhi calmed herself down, pursed her lips, and said softly, "I don't want any of your assets, except for the Jingyuan property."

The man seemed to sense seriousness through his dark eyes and fell into thought.

Those once hawk-like black eyes now held a hint of panic.

However, it was fleeting.

As if it were an illusion, Lu Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth and secretly mocked herself.

He loves Shen Luoyao.

My departure is perfectly timed, so why would I feel emotional?

A man's voice rang out calmly, "Just Jingyuan?"

"right."

-

Jingyuan has quite a prestigious background.

It wasn't because it was particularly valuable, but because it was the only inheritance left by Lu Zhi's parents.

Years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Lu went to another province to inspect a project, they were involved in a car accident. Mrs. Lu died on the spot, and Mr. Lu was so grief-stricken that he passed away a few days later.

From then on, the entire Lu family was divided up.

Surrounded by hungry wolves, the only lifeline she could hold onto was Gu Yizhi.

Lu Zhi cried and begged him to take a picture of Jingyuan.

From then on, Gu Yizhi was all she cared about, and she always felt that she was different.

She even believed that he, like herself, had developed a special affection for Jingyuan, where the two of them used to visit each other frequently.

Lu Zhi thought about it again.

Perhaps he took the picture of Jingyuan Garden simply because he felt annoyed by his own crying at the time.

She wanted to take back Jingyuan Garden to put an end to this youthful and naive love affair.

The man in front of her did not readily agree.

He frowned slightly, seemingly annoyed, and pulled another cigarette from his pocket. "Why should I?"

"You promised me."

A man's sneer reached her ears, as if mocking her naiveté: "You believe what a child says?"

Lu Zhi's face stiffened, and when she met his dark pupils, her expression was quite complicated.

I had considered many answers, but this one was completely unexpected.

He's considered one of the top wealthy families in Shengcheng, right? Lu Zhi couldn't think of a reason to hold a grudge, probably because he wanted to vent his anger for Shen Luoyao last night.

More than a decade of friendship, and in the end it all amounted to nothing.

Lu Zhi felt as if she were immersed in ice water, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, and even her emotions were greatly diminished. "Oh, then I don't want it anymore. I don't want anything and I'll leave with nothing."

Now you've agreed, right?

The man's brow furrowed even deeper, as if he was troubled by something he couldn't resolve.

"I'll return Jingyuan to you." He lit the cigarette he had been holding, the wisps of smoke obscuring half his face. "On the condition that you play the role of Mrs. Gu well and deal with the elders in the family."

At this moment, Lu Zhi couldn't quite figure out his thoughts, nor could she clearly see his face.

The indoor environment was not ventilated by opening windows.

The strong smell of tobacco was unpleasant, and it was torture for Lu Zhi's nasal cavity.

She instinctively reached out and covered her mouth and nose.

The man sneered, "Ha, what are you pretending for? You've smelled plenty of that over the years."
