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

She glanced at Pei Yi with lingering affection; the man was impeccably dressed, his clothes tailored and appropriate.

Even if you have seen and experienced a lot, it is difficult to find fault with it.

Pei Yi tilted his head, almost falling into her arms. "You mean you don't need a formal title?"

Lu Zhi's eyes widened; for a moment, she hadn't expected such an answer.

are you crazy?

The young master of the prestigious Pei family was actually willing to follow me without any official title or status.

She wouldn't even dare to dream of such a scenario.

Before Pei Zhou changed his name to Pei Yi, no one knew better than her how hard his life was. She didn't really believe in love, but she might have emotional dependence on someone.

Just as Lu Zhi was trying to come up with an excuse to refuse, Pei Yi's rugged face broke into a faint smile as he placed the hair clip into Lu Zhi's hand. "If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

The man's large, rough hand rested in her palm, and a strange feeling welled up in Lu Zhi's heart, causing her heart to race.

This feeling was something Gu Yizhi had never experienced before.

It's amazing and novel.

Her marriage to Gu Yizhi was, in a sense, arranged by their parents. She knew from a young age that she would marry him, and they would treat each other like a couple.

Thinking of Gu Yizhi, she suddenly realized the problem from the hospital last time.

No, she's already finding it very difficult to get by in the Gu family.

How can we drag innocent people into this?

Lu Zhi spoke seriously, "I don't think we're a good match."

Pei Yi's eyes were extremely serious and sincere. "If that's not right, I'll change it."

Having not seen each other for many years, Lu Zhi couldn't find a suitable excuse. After struggling for a while, she finally found a fault: "You're too tall. Our heights don't match."

Pei Yi chuckled, his serious face breaking into a smile. "Are all your excuses so lame?"

It possessed a unique beauty, and Lu Zhi was instantly mesmerized.

The seduction worked. Pei Yi took Lu Zhi's hand and his eyes were filled with unfathomable tenderness. "If you can't find any problems, why not give it a try? Once you find a suitable reason to break up, we'll be lovers."

Pei Yi's smile was incredibly infectious, and his eyes seemed to shine. Lu Zhi clenched her palms, hesitating for the first time.

Sertraline taken daily.

A heart broken by Gu Yizhi, a marriage certificate yet to be obtained, the arrogant Shen Luoyao, the absent anniversary of her death, and a wedding anniversary that will forever be ignored.

Without exception, they were all telling Lu Zhi that she did not belong to the Gu family.

If that's the case, why not try finding a new source of support?

Perhaps Pei Yi would be a good match.

Just consider it for your own happiness. Anyway, Pei Yi himself promised that he would break up with her if he found a reason. People always have some flaws that can be pointed out.

Lu Zhi bit her lower lip. "I can try to agree, but there's no guarantee that anything will be made public."

Pei Yi's smile deepened. "Okay."

"We can't post everyday couple photos on social media, we can't be intimate in front of familiar people, and we can't stay out all night..." Lu Zhi was still unsure and subconsciously made a lot of demands.

She wanted to scare the man in front of her away.

Before she could finish speaking, Pei Yi immediately agreed verbally, "Okay."

Lu Zhi felt like she was dreaming. "I hadn't even finished speaking, and you already agreed?"

Pei Yi crossed one leg over the other, looking languid. "If you're worried, you can write it down. I agree to everything."

Lu Zhi stared intently at him for a moment, and inexplicably saw Pei Zhou's shadow in him.

Back then, as a little boy, he was completely obedient to her.

He would bake her favorite cakes by hand, help clean her desk regularly, and throw away those annoying love letters...

But times have changed, and he is now the high and mighty President Pei.

They still retain those habits.

Sooner or later, I'll get screwed over.

She can't even get into the elite circles; at best, she's just an ordinary person.

Lu Zhi raised her head and explained seriously, "President Pei is so at ease, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to ask for all of your assets?"

"Sure." Pei Yi's foxy eyes widened in a smile. "my country's Marriage Law clearly stipulates that large transfers are implicitly considered to be for the purpose of marriage unless explicitly stated as gifts."

Pei Yi gently hooked Lu Zhi's chin. "Are you perhaps hinting at something?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi's face turned red with embarrassment. "I'll add one more rule: flirting is not allowed in everyday conversation."

Pei Yi lowered his head. "Okay, baby."

"I told you no flirting."

Pei Yi's expression brightened, and he remained silent.

He didn't know why Lu Zhi was so determined to keep the three-year agreement; perhaps she had her own reasons.

However, he is willing to protect Lu Zhi.

With him behind her, those who want to bully Lu Zhi will have to think twice.

Pei Yi turned to her side, whispered in her ear, and asked carefully, "So, can you remove me from the blacklist now?"

The man's warm breath wafted over them; the two were very close at the moment.

Very ambiguous.

Lu Zhi's skin flushed red where the wind had brushed against her ear, and her heart pounded rapidly.

I feel like I've become decades younger.

"Stay away from me." Lu Zhi bit her lip. "I'll let you out again."

"Okay, sir." Pei Yi smiled and teased.

"What kind of address is that?" Lu Zhi asked angrily.

"You once said you would take care of me, and you wouldn't let me use your 'treasure,' so I have to settle for second best."

The man's tone was relaxed and casual, but Lu Zhi's cheeks flushed red. This form of address was more astringent and emotional than the previous one.

For some reason, Lu Zhi felt something.

A woman heartbroken by her husband uses her money to support a gigolo, a bizarre way of venting her frustrations.

"Don't talk nonsense in public."

-

After confirming her relationship with Pei Yi, Lu Zhi's life suddenly had hope.

Fresh gardenias are delivered every day, and they are beautifully packaged.

It's not tacky at all.

Furthermore, each note included a note specifying that roses should not be used as supplementary flowers, as the person in question is allergic to roses.

The two shared an unspoken, ambiguous relationship.

Lu Zhi gazed at the flowers, opened her phone's WeChat Moments, wanting to peek into Pei Yi's life, and discovered an intimate photo of Shen Luoyao and Gu Yizhi, with Shen Luoyao holding a large bouquet of roses and a message on a greeting card.

Happy 20th birthday to my girl!

Her pupils contracted slightly, and she suddenly remembered.

Unfortunately, she and Shen Luoyao share the same birthday, but Gu Yizhi hasn't paid attention to it for a long time.

Since arriving at the Gu family, no one else has paid attention to her. When Wang Ma is preparing birthday parties or similar events, it's always just Gu Yizhi and other family members.

It felt as if she had become completely dependent on Gu Yizhi.

Lu Zhi felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Her phone screen lit up; it was a message from Pei Yi: "Happy Birthday, Zhizhi!"

Upon seeing the message, Lu Zhi was momentarily stunned, her eyes slightly reddening.

Aside from deceased parents and Gu Ba, almost no one uses this title anymore.
