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

Despite Lu Zhi's repeated assurances that the information would not be leaked, they eventually managed to extract the truth from Wang Ma.

"The person did indeed come from the Gu Group."

One sentence chilled her heart completely. The Gu family, no matter who it was—Gu Yizhi, Gu's father, Gu's mother.

Lu Zhi has devoted a great deal of effort to maintaining it.

In the end, this is the result.

How could she possibly accept this?

Seemingly sensing her disappointment, Wang Ma cautiously spoke up: "It seems the master is completely unaware of this."

"After all, this matter is still under investigation."

It was clear that Wang Ma wanted to say something nice to ease her impression.

But Lu Zhi had no heart to listen anymore.

Are you keeping yourself in the dark all this time to cover for others?

Her life was so worthless.

To be abandoned again and again, having chosen Shen Luoyao in her past life, and now...

Tick, tick.

A light drizzle was falling outside the window, making the air feel damp.

Lu Zhi felt only cold.

The phone screen lit up faintly; it was a message from Pei Yi.

The general information is the filming schedule, which includes the time, location, and approximate filming period.

Even with Gu Yizhi's warning, Lu Zhi resolutely agreed.

-

Time flies, and soon the agreed-upon day for the shoot arrived.

After weeks of rain, the sun finally came out, a rare occurrence.

As soon as Lu Zhi got out of the car, she saw a tall figure standing in front of the photography studio.

He looked very young today, wearing a jacket and a metal chain around his neck, and he still had a great physique.

He was holding a bunch of sunflowers.

As if sensing that Lu Zhi had noticed him, Pei Yi walked over with his eyes full of joy, "You're here."

The two were very close to the ground.

You can smell the fragrance on him.

Just as Lu Zhi was about to say hello, her lips moved slightly, and a bouquet of flowers appeared in her hand.

"Celebrating your first day at work."

Lu Zhi felt the sunshine was incredibly warm when she heard the assistant director's voice calling out, "Teachers, the opening ceremony is about to begin."

After setting up the four squares, it was time for the group photo.

Lu Zhi was originally standing near the edge, but at Pei Yi's request, she stood with him in the front row.

"Smile."

click-

The photographer pressed the shutter, and a group photo was born. Pei Yi, shameless enough, approached the photographer and asked for a separate copy of the photo.

Lu Zhi looked up and commented, "I didn't expect you to have a collecting hobby."

For some reason, I suddenly realized that there must be many related photos at his home.

I want to spy on them.

Pei Yi said, "Of course, we should definitely keep the first photo of the couple together."

Lu Zhi: "..."

They didn't break up.

In a production crew funded by others, Lu Zhi couldn't say too much.

-

After the opening ceremony, it was soon noon, and the script supervisor called everyone to lunch.

Everyone sat on the ground, gossiping amongst themselves.

"Have you heard? Shen Luoyao was originally cast in this drama, but someone else stole the role."

"Who is this woman? She has a powerful background, but she doesn't have any works to her name. She's bound to do a bad job and have to keep reshooting. She'll probably have to sleep on set with us."

"I wish it were Shen Luoyao."

Lu Zhi's face paled slightly upon hearing these comments, but she didn't take them to heart.

Pei Yi raised an eyebrow and called out in that direction, "You still have time to chat while eating? I've told the director to leave."

Lu Zhi shook her head. "Don't worry about it too much."

"I can't stand it."

Lu Zhi felt a warmth in her heart and resolved to perform even better during the upcoming filming.

-

Filming time flew by, and the director, who was amazed by Lu Zhi's performance, praised her highly, "Brother Pei, where did you find such a good talent?"

Pei Yi didn't even lift his eyelids. "Want to know?"

The director nodded.

"It depends on your looks."

director:"……"

What's the difference between saying it and not saying it?

During the break, the people who had previously formed a group to discuss things gathered together again.

"Wow, that's amazing! You can basically film everything in one take."

"I think her acting skills are even better than Shen Luoyao's, it's a pity she doesn't have as many resources."

"Did you see what she was wearing? It's high-end luxury. I guess it's just something she's doing for fun, and she wouldn't bother with it."

Amidst the surrounding whispers, the director frowned slightly. "Ahem, don't talk nonsense during breaks."

Pei Yi raised an eyebrow. "It's alright."

The director looked at him with a surprised expression, as if questioning him: Didn't you just silence him?

She glanced at Pei Yi furtively, her expression languid and her words extremely natural, showing no sign of wanting to protect someone.

Lu Zhi blushed and said seriously, "It probably depends on my mood."

"Oh, I just hope he doesn't withdraw his investment because of his mood."

A simple joke covered up the awkwardness, and Lu Zhi was able to integrate better into the crew.

After resting, they continued filming until night.

The night sky was dotted with stars. Lu Zhi took out her phone to hail a taxi when Pei Yi, standing beside her, said, "He won't even let his assistant take you?"

Lu Zhi felt a pang of sadness.

Forget about sending a driver to take me home; I'd be grateful if they didn't kill me.

She didn't want to reveal her relationship status, so she used an ambiguous excuse, "Maybe something's wrong."

"What could be more important than your partner?" Pei Yi frowned, seemingly dissatisfied, and walked away from his side.

She was left standing there alone.

The temperature at night is much lower than during the day, and unfortunately, Lu Zhi hasn't hired a junior assistant yet, and she didn't bring a coat when she went out.

A night breeze swept by, and Lu Zhi shivered, her whole body covered in goosebumps.

A black Maybach pulled up in front of her. Pei Yi raised an eyebrow. "Get in."

Lu Zhi hesitated for a moment.

Couples often ride in the same car.

And what about them?

Lu Zhi said, "No need, I've already hailed a taxi."

"Cancel it." Pei Yi gritted his teeth, his face dark. "Don't you have any self-awareness about your own face?"

Lu Zhi: "What's the connection between these two?"

Pei Yi frowned. "I've already saved you twice. I don't want to save you a third time."

She was silent.

But they were powerless to refute it.

Unable to refuse, she got into Pei Yi's car and opened the back door.

Beep beep—

Pei Yi honked the horn twice. "Would I eat people? Why are you hiding so far away?"

Finally, Lu Zhi sat in the passenger seat. The car was clean, tidy, and empty, with the scent of Pei Yi's cologne lingering in the air.

Every breath was a reminder to Lu Zhi.

The existence of Pei Yi.

Lu Zhi remained seated, thinking that it would be more convenient to get a driver's license next time.

-

Upon arriving at the villa, the aroma of food wafted from the dining table.

Lu Zhi saw that Gu Yizhi and a group of people were having a meal together, drinking and discussing things.

"I heard Lu Zhi stole Shen Luoyao's resources. What does Young Master Gu think?"

"What else can we do? We definitely have to help Yao Yao."

"It's too late now. If you ask me, we should just prevent Lu Zhi from entering the industry altogether."

Gu Yizhi didn't even lift his eyelids. "Good idea. Give me a suggestion to get her out of the circle."

Lu Zhi's face turned pale.
