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

A boring interlude has passed.

In the dimly lit bar, she was all alone, sitting dejectedly at the bar counter, seemingly out of place amidst the lively atmosphere around her.

She picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine in my mouth tasted even more bitter and astringent.

I came here today hoping to relieve my boredom, but I never expected to run into these unlucky people, which only made things worse.

Frustrated, she drank even more, her eyes gradually becoming glazed over.

He was startled to find a gaze fixed on him.

He glanced around and suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on him, ever since Shen Luoyao's provocation.

Lu Zhi peered over curiously, but the man turned his face away.

It was as if nothing had happened.

From this angle, his profile is very three-dimensional, with a strong jawline.

Lu Zhi's eyes scrutinized him without any attempt to conceal her gaze.

He lowered his head slightly, making the brim of his hat even thicker, as if he didn't want people to look at him and somewhat obscure his good looks.

Even so, her figure and fair skin are still evident.

You can tell that too.

This is a very rare handsome guy.

Lu Zhi was furious.

This man looks quite tough and like a good person, but I never expected him to be doing things like peeping.

He didn't say anything when he was being spied on.

He did manage to defend against it.

Thinking back to how Shen Luoyao had just suppressed her, Lu Zhi suddenly felt a surge of rebelliousness and inexplicably developed an interest in men.

Lu Zhi chuckled and looked up. "What's wrong? Do you look so intimidating that you don't even dare to speak to me?"

With this sentence.

The man who had just lowered his hat brim finally raised his head.

During their eye contact, Lu Zhi finally got a clear look at his face.

The man's well-defined knuckles held a glass of blue mojito, and his dark hair was slightly messy, but it didn't detract from his good looks.

His dark eyes were deep and menacing, carrying a deadly danger.

Her face boasts astonishing proportions, with a high, straight nose and a strong jawline, making her a perfect match for Nuwa.

His overall appearance is rather rugged.

The other party seemed to be deliberately restraining themselves, and their aura was not flamboyant.

Amidst the pungent smell of alcohol all around, one could faintly detect the subtle fragrance of tea emanating from him.

Lu Zhi inexplicably recalled a sentence.

Its flavor is pure and untainted, rising from the mud.

He wasn't her type of handsome guy.

However, it would be difficult to find someone better than him in a bar.

Shen Luoyao, who had just been pretending to play around with her friends, seemed to notice her movements.

A few seconds later, she heard Shen Luoyao's sneer in her ear, "You don't really think you can find a partner."

Lu Zhi raised an eyebrow. "What's it to you?"

After a few seconds of silence, as expected, no argument broke out.

She glanced at Shen Luoyao, her lips slightly parted, her almond-shaped eyes filled with surprise, as if she had seen some shocking news.

Especially the way she looks at men.

Nine out of ten points are incorrect.

Lu Zhi rubbed his palm, unable to figure it out.

Could it be that Shen Luoyao is also infatuated with a boy?

still is……

profitable.

Lu Zhi decided to test the waters with words, "What are you thinking about?"

She gave me a wary look and didn't answer.

Instead, she adjusted her white dress and changed the angle, which was both revealing of her long legs and extremely pure.

We will carry out the seduction tactics to the very end.

Lu Zhi's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

I instantly understood her intention.

In her past life, Shen Luoyao had the problem of always wanting more than she had, and she was extremely good at socializing and building good relationships with those second-generation rich kids.

Is this the same old problem resurfacing?

Lu Zhi secretly speculated that the man was probably someone of high status or wealth.

She's so good-looking.

They must be in the entertainment industry.

Lu Zhi took a sip of wine, but wasn't very interested.

If she paid even a little attention to the Chinese entertainment industry, she would know who was standing in front of her.

He is the only actor in the Chinese entertainment industry to have won all three major film awards.

Pei's translation.

He was a well-known figure in the industry, but has faded from public view in recent years.

Rumor has it that he's a master at both investing and acting.

The wealth is immeasurable.

The background is even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Lu Zhi was unaware of the details and not particularly interested, so she put her wine glass down on the table.

Pei Yi walked up to him, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, his posture exuding languor.

Lu Zhi frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

What a pretentious person.

Without refusing, the man took the initiative to sit in the chair opposite her.

Lu Zhi didn't mind having a visual treat, supporting herself with one hand under her chin.

The man's brow furrowed slightly.

Before she could make a move, Shen Luoyao, standing beside her, could barely conceal the sarcasm in her eyes.

Lu Zhi glanced at her. "You know her?"

"Not familiar with them."

Shen Luoyao's face immediately stiffened, and she forced a smile, "Have you forgotten that our agent discussed a collaboration five years ago?"

The girlish tone of her voice made Lu Zhi's ears hurt.

"I don't remember."

After listening to two sentences.

Lu Zhi developed a better impression of him.

Her eyes are beautiful and work well.

It doesn't seem like Gu Yizhi.

You can't see through a woman's little tricks.

Shen Luoyao had tears in the corners of her eyes, looking somewhat pitiful. "But, I remember you. You wouldn't have forgotten me just because you have her now."

Those cunning almond-shaped eyes lowered, and the look in their eyes was filled with deep disdain as they looked at themselves.

It seemed as if she was looking down on Lu Zhi, wondering how she could possibly be worthy of sitting at the same table.

Lu Zhi frowned slightly, disliking people who brought trouble.

I have always believed in it.

Who brought it?

It should be given to whoever it is.

Lu Zhi blinked her beautiful eyes. "What do you think?"

The man's dark eyes lit up, and he subtly deflected the question, "If I did that, would you hate it?"

Lu Zhi smiled without saying a word, exuding the aura of a mature woman.

They don't even realize how charming they are.

Pei Yi curled his lips slightly.

Shen Luoyao's jealousy deepened. "Does Young Master Gu know you're seducing people everywhere?"

Mentioning that man.

Lu Zhi lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat distressed. The alcohol had mostly worn off, but she didn't show it. She raised her head, feigning strength, and asked, "Is this what you call judging others by your own standards?"

The man she had loved deeply for many years had been taken away from her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Luoyao even had to compete to strike up a conversation.

Always wanting to be the best.

Shen Luoyao's eyes welled up with tears, as if she were trying to gain sympathy from the man: "You..."

Lu Zhi raised her head and looked at Pei Yi. He smiled slightly but did not speak.

Instead, as if joking, he added fuel to the fire, "So, Miss Lu, do you like me?"

A pair of dark eyes, full of affection.

With her face exuding sensuality, Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat for no reason, but her eyes darkened.

I experienced heartbreak.

Who can guarantee that he won't be the next Gu Yizhi?

Her heart was already half dead; she had no room for extra emotions.

Just as she was about to refuse, another, even stronger gaze caught her attention.

Even in the dim light of the bar, Shen Luoyao still looked pale, her eyes were red, and tears were about to fall.

What a pitiful person.

Unfortunately, she wasn't a man who cherished women.

This expression can only be associated with a past life in which one was constantly framed and persecuted.

She was in much more pain than Shen Luoyao.

Anxious.
