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

"Last night, Dad said he would give you all of the Gu family's assets. I don't want all my years of hard work to go to waste."

This argument is somewhat untenable.

Because she had already clearly refused last night, and Gu Yizhi had already controlled the Gu Group for a long time, even if it were given to her.

Lu Zhi was also aware of the limits of her abilities.

It probably won't be able to operate for long.

Lu Zhi said indifferently, "If that's the case, you don't need to worry about marriage. You can sign a contract with me privately."

After saying that, a look of sadness appeared on her face. "Besides, even if Dad was confused for a moment, aren't all the lawyers at the Gu family elites?"

Gu Yizhi was speechless.

Lu Zhi knew that the deal had been made.

She wasn't short of money; if she had, she would have tried to buy Jingyuan long ago.

But no one knows better than Lu Zhi.

Some money can be a gift, an expression of love, or it can be money to buy your life!

Jiang Xing was also watching them closely from behind.

Having lived a second life, she had long since seen through everything.

-

Gu Yizhi maintained a distant expression until he sat down at the breakfast table.

He remained silent.

Gu Yuanming continued to take care of her as always, piling the food in her bowl almost into a small mountain.

"Eat more, so you can have a chubby baby next year."

Looking at his flushed face, Lu Zhi felt a little guilty, realizing that she probably wouldn't be able to have a child with Gu Yizhi in this lifetime.

Lu Zhi looked up, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Dad. Don't just focus on me, eat something too."

"I'm old, what's the point of eating so much? I can't take it all with me to the grave."

The meal ended in a casual, homely manner.

They set off again and returned to Chengyuan. When they came back, everything was not much different from the beginning.

Gu Yizhi, however, was quite strange.

He seemed somewhat distracted.

Too many things have happened recently, and she wants to calm herself down and figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

Take a short rest in the bedroom.

It was pouring rain outside, with strong winds and torrential rain.

A sharp pain shot through her abdomen, and Lu Zhi's face turned deathly pale.

I'm having this old problem with my period.

However, because she took medication irregularly over a long period of time, she didn't take it too seriously.

She huddled under the covers, wanting to spend the night in peace.

A tall figure barged in, his eyes sharp and cold, his lips slightly parted as if he wanted to say something: "You..."

For no apparent reason, Lu Zhi thought of her delirium from last night.

The physical discomfort, combined with the psychological discomfort, made me feel even more nauseous.

Before she could finish speaking, she immediately interrupted him, "I'm not feeling well and don't want to chat."

Gu Yizhi seemed to sense her aloofness, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

The man's lips parted slightly.

It seems like I still want to say something?

Lu Zhi had a headache.

In the past, they would say a few words and then leave.

They've stayed there.

Lu Zhi's ears were throbbing slightly. Afraid of hearing any more unpleasant words, she immediately told him to leave, "I need to rest. You can go now."

"Go find Shen Luoyao."

Gu Yizhi frowned even deeper. "Order me?"

Lu Zhi met his gaze. "How dare I?"

"You really haven't changed at all. You pretend to be sick when you want a close relationship, and you pretend to be sick when you don't want to communicate. Ha."

"Are you planning to use this system forever?" Gu Yizhi raised an eyebrow, also getting annoyed.

As soon as those words left her mouth, Lu Zhi's heart turned cold.

This made her, who was already prone to feeling cold, feel even more uncomfortable.

She raised her head, her words becoming defiant: "I don't need to do that with you. After I finish playing the role of Mrs. Gu for three years, we'll have no connection anymore."

"Besides, there are no outsiders here right now. I'm on my period, so it's not unreasonable for me to take a break temporarily, is it?"

Lu Zhi vented her anger without restraint.

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. She had helped cover it up last night, and now she was almost in danger of being silenced.

I'm a little sick today.

They will also be held accountable.

His eyes had become quite red without him realizing it, and it seemed that Gu Yizhi had noticed, so he left the room on his own initiative.

This time, surprisingly, he didn't cause me any trouble.

It must have happened last night; there must have been some consideration for our relationship.

Lu Zhi thought listlessly, her whole body still aching. She took a deep breath and snuggled into the blankets.

A dozen minutes later.

Wang Ma entered the bedroom. "Madam, this is ginger and brown sugar water."

Lu Zhi picked up the glass and took a small sip: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. This was made at the master's request."

Lu Zhi almost spat out the drink she had just taken a sip. "Does he care about such a trivial matter?"

"Probably," Wang Ma reminded him. "The master even knows the anniversaries of every movie starring Miss Shen Luoyao. He just went out to meet Miss Shen, so he should..."

"No need to report to me." The brown sugar water in Lu Zhi's mouth was so sweet it tasted bitter, and it ruined her mood.

It turns out that the occasional favors I received were part of Shen Luoyao's daily routine.

She had to go through a lot of trouble to get Gu Yizhi to treat her better.

I thought she had changed her mind.

It turned out to be just a pointless act.

pat-

Lu Zhi was lost in thought and didn't notice that her arm had bumped into the bowl, and the brown sugar water had shattered on the ground.

Lu Zhi: "Let's tidy up."

"Would you like me to make another bowl?"

"There's no need."

Wang Ma left, leaving only a listless Lu Zhi, who mocked her own wild ideas.

-

He felt a little better the next day.

Lu Zhi went downstairs and found Wang Ma wiping things, so she couldn't help but go closer to take a look.

Shen Luoyao's movie poster.

The girl in the photos looks beautiful in every shot; some parts are inlaid with gold, making them look very valuable.

It must have taken a lot of effort.

"Madam, this is something the master specifically instructed us to keep as a treasure," Wang Ma said, offering her introduction.

Lu Zhi felt a chill run down her spine.

The warmth of last night has vanished completely.

It turns out that the thoughtfulness wasn't directed at just one person.

She might have just done it incidentally.

Her fingers turned white involuntarily. Lu Zhi advised herself not to be too emotional, lest it affect her health.

To distract herself, she picked up her phone.

I noticed there's an extra message.

Pei Yi: [Are you curious about filming a movie set?]

Lu Zhi stared at the message for a long time.

She was unsure whether to keep Pei Yi's appointment, in case Gu Yizhi had called her that night.

Her indifference did not chill Pei Yi's heart.

Within seconds, another message arrived.

Pei Yi: [I want you to come visit the set.]

I miss you so much.

Each of the three sentences is filled with extreme passion.

Lu Zhi felt a little uneasy and looked at Wang Ma.

Suddenly, she realized that even if Gu Yizhi cared about her, it might only carry a tiny bit of weight.

This did not prevent him from finding Shen Luoyao.

Why can't I do it?

Why get so hung up on these mundane things?

After thinking it through, Lu Zhi stopped worrying about it.

-

The filming location was some distance from the city center, and Lu Zhi happened to drive there.

It took half an hour in total.

When they arrived, the area was already completely blocked off.

A group of very young girls held up support signs and shouted, "Brother, I love you!"

I like you so much.

"Pei Yi, ahhhhh!"

The deafening sound of gongs and drums startled Lu Zhi.

She knew Pei Yi was a celebrity.

I didn't expect it to be so popular.
