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

"Is that how you see me?" Lu Zhi looked at the man in front of her with red eyes.

Seemingly annoyed by her, Gu Yizhi shut up again.

Her tall figure completely enveloped her in shadow, obscuring the light above her head.

A cool breeze swept by, and Lu Zhihan felt a chill in his heart.

Just then, Pei Yi, dressed in a suit, walked out of the room and casually remarked, "It's quite lively here."

A sly smile crept across his lips. "How about I become the judge and settle the case?"

In short, the whole atmosphere changed.

The staff member explained in a low voice, "It's probably a misunderstanding. This gentleman mistakenly thought you were giving him a lady's dress and had ulterior motives."

"Do I need to explain the purpose of a gift?" Pei Yi raised an eyebrow, offering no explanation.

Gu Yizhi clapped his hands, "Young Master Pei really has a good family background. He doesn't even blink an eye at a 20 million dress."

"I believe that a single woman has the right to be pursued by anyone."

His words were so enchanting that they sparked the imagination.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi felt a warmth in her heart, her eyes showing a hint of surprise.

They clearly have no relationship anymore.

Pei's translation.

They are still willing to extricate themselves from this predicament.

Gu Yizhi's face darkened. "You..."

"Oh." Pei Yi smiled slightly. "I'm just kindly reminding Young Master Gu that if you have other women around you, you shouldn't think about anything else. It wouldn't be good if the news got on your face."

"If the Gu Group's stock price plummets then, we might not be able to afford to support them."

Gu Yizhi swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Shen Luoyao seemed to sense the awkwardness, her legs went weak, and she threw herself into the man's arms, "Baby, my legs hurt so much."

Going with the flow, both of them left.

Right now, the weather outside is foggy; it's neither raining nor sunny.

The air felt cool.

Lu Zhi looked up at Pei Yi.

He was still tall and imposing, with a detached gaze.

It seemed like he had nothing to say.

However, after being apart for a while, Lu Zhi had so much to say to him.

When he finally spoke, all he could say was, "Actually, you don't need to help me."

Lu Zhi cared about Pei Yi, but was also afraid that he would offend the Gu family and be harmed.

After all, it's Shengcheng.

The Gu family is a powerful local force with deep roots.

Even though the Pei family was powerful and influential in the outer city, very few members of their collateral branch, like him, would fall into their hands.

If I offend them, I'm afraid my bones will not even be preserved.

After he finished speaking, Pei Yi remained silent for a long time, his dark eyes deep and thoughtful.

I don't know what she's thinking.

He spoke calmly, "Were you this spineless even in the Gu family?"

"I……"

Pei Yi: "Never mind, I don't have the habit of rubbing salt into other people's wounds."

It seemed that the unilateral blocking a few days ago had provoked him, and Lu Zhi always felt that there was some aggression in his words.

She pursed her lips, genuinely unsure of what to say, and stood silently in place.

Finally, choosing to change the subject, she handed the dress gift box back, saying, "You don't need to give me such an expensive dress."

Pei Yi: "If it's given to you, just keep it."

Pei Yi's eyes were full of unruliness. "If you don't like it, just throw it away. There's no need to use it to mock me."

"I don't."

"There's no possibility between us, so don't bother anymore."

After much deliberation, Lu Zhi decided to tell the whole story.

Whether it was my imagination or not, the sky seemed to darken again, much like the man's complexion.

Pei Yi: "I gave you these things, just for your body? Your beauty?"

"What do you take me for? A ladybug or one of those playboys who like brothels?"

Lu Zhi felt even more depressed.

I really didn't expect any negative impact, but Pei Yi's every word was aggressive, making it difficult to respond.

I thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find a solution.

Lu Zhi shrank back, deciding to be a coward and leave first.

He had just taken a step.

Pei Yi's eyes were dark as he asked in a low voice, "In your eyes, what am I?"

"A good person."

Perhaps because her tone was too urgent, Lu Zhi subconsciously blurted out the words that were in her mind.

After saying that, Pei Yi's face turned even paler.

She suddenly realized.

In today's internet environment, this is hardly a good word.

They usually reject sycophants in batches.

She stole a glance at Pei Yi; his looks were still outstanding, with glossy black hair, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a strong facial profile.

His waist is still an extremely fleshy V-shaped waist.

From any perspective.

They are all considered top-tier, high-quality men among humans.

The word "lickspittle" has nothing to do with it.

Pei Yi was exasperated. "Lu Zhi, you should pay more attention to yourself. If you keep acting like a jerk, people will only despise you more."

"And what about you?"

Lu Zhi wanted to ask if he could pay more attention to her as well.

Stop being so kind to yourself.

However, people mistook his question for an inquiry about his own feelings.

Pei Yi said calmly, "In my eyes, you deserve the best in the world."

Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, her ears flushed red, and she almost lost her composure.

This could be considered a partial confession.

To avoid an awkward situation, she grabbed the dress gift box and hurriedly said, "I have something to do, I have to go."

-

Returning from the fashion show, Lu Zhi felt as if the sun had come out.

The sun shines brightly, the flowers are vibrant, and the grass is full of life.

Everything is brand new.

Back at the villa, Lu Zhi couldn't help but secretly check Pei Yi's messages on her phone.

Of course, this was to avoid being discovered by family members.

He even secretly registered a fake account to pretend to be a fan of Pei Yi and secretly stalk him.

The more I look at Pei Yi, the more I realize how good his figure and appearance are.

She has a good personality.

Only fate was a little lacking.

If she had met Pei Yi before the Lu family went bankrupt...

How wonderful that would be.

Feeling a pang of regret, Lu Zhi opened Weibo to check for more news about Pei Yi.

The OST songs we recorded earlier have already climbed into the top ten of a certain cloud search chart.

The comments section was filled with positive feedback from fans.

"Wow, this is an amazing song, it sounds so good!"

"Who understands? I originally listened to this song for gossip, but it's so sweet! Ah, sister, you're debuting and building your career."

"Are you all really that serious? I think the song's quality is purely due to the lyrics and composition. Lu Zhi is just a singer; anyone else would have done the same. I heard she even used the opportunity to get close to Pei Yi. Disgusting."

"Besides, what is Lu Zhi? Is she worthy of my brother?"

Among the many positive comments, one stands out.

It's blinding.

Lu Zhi saw it at a glance, her eyes turning somewhat red.

It wasn't anger, but a deep-seated sensitivity.

She's absolutely right.

She was just a fallen aristocrat, while Pei Yi excelled in everything – career, looks, character, and talent.

They're not a good match at all.

There was an insurmountable chasm between the two.

It is insurmountable.

Her relationship with Pei Yi was ultimately just a dream, yet a lingering sense of unease remained in her heart.

As if by some strange twist of fate, Lu Zhi posted a question on an anonymous website: "What should I do if the person I like is too different from me?"

First answer: [How big is the gap, and what kind of work does he do?]
