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

These three short sentences contain a lot of information.

The floor and walls inside the villa were cold, and so was her heart.

The night is so long.

In her past life, she always felt that she could never gain her mother-in-law's approval, perhaps because she wasn't good enough.

Therefore, she desperately tried to change.

Jiang Xing dislikes heavy makeup and goes out without any. She demands to be virtuous and family-oriented, so she gave up her studies to become a cook. She admires wealthy and noble ladies, so she regularly participates in social events...

All sorts of things.

At this moment, it seems more like a joke.

So it turns out it was a grudge from the previous generation.

Lu Zhi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. The matter of being reborn was too absurd, and there was no one she could confide in.

Holding the cold handrail, I hid in the dark stairwell.

The conversation continued.

"No." Jiang Xing's voice was resolute, as if he had some reservations. "Did you hear me?"

"My son told me today that he set off fireworks worth millions for Lu Zhi. Just like his father, he's a devoted lover."

The servant stood there, silent for a long time.

It seems I don't know how to answer.

Jiang Xing kept saying, "Yuan Ming also wanted to jump into the river, but luckily he was saved."

Servant: "What does Madam mean?"

"I absolutely cannot risk his life. I heard he's been getting very close to a minor actress named Shen Luoyao lately. You think he can't be replaced?"

"clear."

Lu Zhi only dared to peek out after the two had completely left.

-

When she returned to the bedroom, her hands and feet were still cold, and the chill on her back had not yet dissipated.

This miserable state caught Gu Yizhi's eye, and he sneered, "Did you run into a ghost while you were out?"

"More terrifying than ghosts."

Lu Zhi was still caught up in her emotions and had no guard up at all, so she blurted out what was on her mind.

It took me a few seconds to come to my senses.

Looking at the tall man standing in front of her, she demanded, "What is that?"

Thinking that they were family, and that she only needed Gu Yuanming's care.

It has no other advantages whatsoever.

Lu Zhi averted her gaze and didn't tell the truth. "It's nothing. Just think of it as my depression acting up again and me talking nonsense."

"Oh."

"Haven't you gotten enough attention by using illness as an excuse all these years?"

A gust of wind suddenly blew in from outside the window, and Lu Zhihan fell silent, a feeling that reached the depths of her heart.

I realized that I had a medical condition.

It was just something he used to make sarcastic remarks.

In previous years, she would always explain to avoid misunderstandings.

Now, I suddenly feel so tired, that's all.

Lu Zhi looked up, avoiding the topic: "How are you going to sleep tonight?"

Gu Yizhi's eyes were filled with surprise, and he stood there stunned.

It seems she never expected that she would be the one to initiate the breakup.

After all, she used to cling to him relentlessly, even drugging him, so of course she was found out.

Lu Zhi now thinks she was so foolish back then.

How stupid, how naive.

The Gu family is truly terrifying; everyone in them wants to take their own life.

If Jiang Xing is like that, Gu Yizhi might be too.

Living is like walking on thin ice.

However, the house in Jingyuan was the only thing she and her parents had left, and she had to get it back.

For safety reasons, she must maintain a safe distance.

Avoid offending men.

Seeing that Gu Yizhi hadn't moved for a long time, his dark eyes were fixed on him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Zhi regained control of the situation. "Fine, I'll sleep on the desk."

She walked straight to the chair next to her, suddenly grabbed herself with one hand, turned around, and bumped into Gu Yizhi's face, which was indifferent and aloof.

"I won't argue with patients," he said, before heading to his desk.

The lights were turned off, plunging the entire room into darkness.

The old villa is located in the suburbs and is quite old. It is very quiet at night, without making a sound.

Lu Zhi rarely sleeps here; she usually sleeps with Gu Yizhi in Chengyuan.

In addition, there was a figure slumped over the desk.

She really couldn't sleep.

Jiang Xing, the mother-in-law, was very particular about rules and regulations, and even the air seemed to carry a sense of constraint. She didn't dare to toss and turn in bed.

I lay there stiffly until the middle of the night.

Raindrops fell from the eaves and landed by the window, making Lu Zhi feel even more distressed.

At night, the person at the desk was muttering in their sleep.

I wonder if he's thinking about his little lover again.

Lu Zhi frowned slightly, sensing the cold air around her.

I guess they couldn't stand the cold.

Since the other person has taken the initiative to consider sleeping in separate beds...

Lu Zhi felt embarrassed, so she let it go and took a thin blanket from the cabinet next to her, preparing to put it on.

Unintentionally, I overheard the content of his delirium.

"Zhizhi, don't leave me." A tear appeared on the man's usually tough face.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Zhi's heart suddenly exploded.

Zhizhi is the name he has called him since he was a child.

His pupils were filled with shock.

Her hand, which was about to cover him with a thin blanket, froze in mid-air.

The news was so shocking that it took several seconds to process.

Lu Zhicai came to her senses, her eyes reddening halfway, her heart aching so much she could hardly breathe.

Why bother?

Why leave her with a lingering warmth when her heart is already dead?

How cruel this is.

Gu Yizhi's actions had made her lose faith in love, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips.

Regardless, Lu Zhi couldn't be sure it was her.

In his past life, Gu Yizhi loved having Shen Luoyao impersonate him, accompany him shopping, on dates, and even...

Book a hotel room.

That cry of "Zhizhi" might have come from another woman.

Her name has been used as a flirtatious term.

Lu Zhi felt even more distressed.

Moreover, belated affection is worthless than grass.

Lu Zhi gazed at the rain scene outside the window, took a deep breath, covered him with the thin blanket, and went back to bed.

I couldn't sleep until dawn.

-

The misty morning air rose, and the sunlight carried a slight warmth.

To make herself look better, Lu Zhi put on makeup and prepared to go have breakfast.

Gu Yizhi also woke up and rubbed his head.

The way he looked at me was very strange, almost suspicious, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Lu Zhi frowned. "Let's go."

"Wait."

She turned to look at Gu Yizhi. The man was dressed smartly in a suit, and his eyes were on her, as if he was investigating something.

Lu Zhi was unaware of this.

Let's get married.

Lu Zhi stood there, stunned.

As if afraid he hadn't understood, Gu Yizhi added, "What I mean is, getting a marriage certificate."

Lu Zhi then understood, "You're still sleepy, you can lie in bed a little longer. I'll help you notify your assistant to handle the work."

"I'm not joking." Gu Yizhi's eyes still held arrogance, but he was very serious.

He looks very rare.

Lu Zhi frowned.

I subconsciously thought of his ramblings last night.

Maybe it was just a dream?

What exactly did he dream about that made him seem like he'd taken the wrong medicine?

Lu Zhi looked up and asked, "What are you after when you get married?"

Gu Yizhi seemed to realize what she said, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He was about to make a sarcastic remark, but suddenly changed his mind.
