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

Even through the hospital blanket, Lu Zhi felt nauseous.

Gu Yizhi seemed to realize his own emotions, and frowned slightly. "You stay in your hospital bed. I'll let you leave after some time."

Lu Zhi: "In a while?"

"How long?"

She couldn't wait, and didn't want to wait.

Lu Zhi stared at the man in front of her, determined to get to the bottom of it.

Under the hospital's fluorescent lights, that face appeared even more cold and ruthless, his dark eyes dangerous and full of aggression.

He didn't answer, but instead pretended to be affectionate and tucked her in.

left.

The entire ward was silent, with only the smell of disinfectant remaining.

Lu Zhi stared out the window, lost in thought for a long time.

She guessed it was almost lunchtime when the sun became too bright.

Without a cell phone, even checking the time is a luxury.

Lu Zhi's face was pale.

She discovered that Gu Yizhi always had a blurred concept of time, or he would feel that the days in his past life were painful and felt like years.

Not long after, Wang Ma brought in the food. "Madam, it's time to eat."

The dishes on the plate were quite plentiful, consisting of four dishes and a soup.

Lu Zhi had no appetite. "I'm not eating."

Aunt Wang said with concern, "That won't do. Not eating will not help the wound heal."

"If you have difficulty moving around, I'll feed your wife."

The words of consideration and care did not move Lu Zhi at all. Instead, seeing Wang Ma's face reminded her of Gu Yizhi countless times.

In her past life, Wang Ma also acted as a peacemaker many times.

But it still didn't salvage the relationship.

Lu Zhi made up an excuse, "The tableware is all plastic, I'm not used to it."

"That was to prevent you from doing something rash."

Lu Zhi snorted lightly, "Without him, I would have gotten over it a long time ago."

After she finished speaking, Wang Ma fell completely silent. "Madam, don't be willful. If things get out of hand, it will be even more troublesome if we ask the master for help."

Hearing this, Lu Zhi's face turned even paler, and she immediately knocked over the plate. "Then tell him."

bang-

With a thud, the food spilled onto the ground.

As if sensing her anger, Wang Ma's eyes became cautious, and she quickly tidied up.

The sound of the lock cylinder falling.

When Wang Ma left, Lu Zhi was just able to see the two burly and powerful bodyguards clearly.

They're all in hospital beds now.

They even sent people to guard him, afraid that he might wander off.

Not long after, Lu Zhi clutched her abdomen, curled up in the blanket, and was overwhelmed by intense pain.

He has been taking sertraline and other random medications for years.

She already had a sensitive stomach, and with nothing to cushion her stomach, the pain became even worse.

Even so, Lu Zhi still refused to compromise.

She gritted her teeth to keep herself from making any unusual noises.

Click—

Hearing the door lock open, Lu Zhi mistook it for Gu Yizhi and instinctively retorted sarcastically, "What, you actually came back to see me?"

The person stood still.

When you can see the face of the person in front of you clearly.

She only then realized it.

That person didn't come; it was Wang Ma who came.

She went on a hunger strike, but it didn't even register with him. This man is truly heartless.

Wang Ma sighed, "Oh, Madam, please be more careful and stop arguing with your husband."

She had an extra plate in her hand.

Lu Zhi said, "I'll eat after he arrives."

"The master said that if you eat on time, he will give you a cell phone."

Upon hearing this, she immediately snatched the chopsticks and began to wolf down her food.

I must eat properly.

This is how we can have the opportunity to connect with the outside world.

After quickly finishing her meal, a cell phone appeared in front of her, handed to her by Wang Ma.

Brand new, without a single sign of use.

It's obvious that it's not the original one.

Lu Zhi looked up. "Are you kidding me?"

"The master warned you that he was worried you would associate with shady people."

She frowned, "..."

"Alright, you can go now."

After receiving the instructions, Wang Ma seemed afraid of incurring bad luck and quickly left.

Lu Zhi turned on her phone, and after a few seconds, the boot screen appeared.

During the brief interval, she couldn't help but think, "Pei Yi, you must wait for me. Don't reject private messages from strangers."

Successfully accessed the phone's interface.

Lu Zhi discovered that the backend was being monitored. When she tried to search for Pei Yi's WeChat ID or other contact methods, they were all blocked by technical means.

Her face turned deathly pale.

Even though we are separated by a great distance, my heart still cannot find peace.

Lu Zhi could only pick up her phone and search for videos and pictures related to Pei Yi to relieve her boredom.

Watching him being adored by his fans, witnessing his growth step by step, and seeing his dazzling career path.

The only drawback.

She missed a part of growing up. What happened after she left the elite school?

Lu Zhi couldn't help but use her imagination to fill in the gaps.

But when it comes to true love, humans always lack imagination.

She wanted to make up for her shortcomings and really wanted to talk to Pei Yi in person.

And so, amidst countless longings.

I don't know when it started, but the sky gradually darkened, and the stars took over the sun's job.

-

A cool night breeze was blowing, and along with it came an unexpected person.

Wearing a woolen overcoat, Gu Yizhi's hair was neatly combed back, gleaming with oil, exuding an aggressive aura.

He spoke softly, "Zhizhi."

"Don't call me that," Lu Zhi frowned. "It's disgusting."

"I'm not letting you make movies for your own good."

He casually pulled a chair from the side and sat up on the edge of the bed.

Lu Zhi's face turned pale: "Whether it's for yourself or for me, you know in your heart."

"What if I told you, if you became a star, you'd die on stage?"

Lu Zhi said defiantly, "Even if I die, I will feel free, and you have no say in this."

The man didn't say anything and left in silence.

All that remained was a cool breeze.

For the first time, Lu Zhi felt that the night was long and cold, and that she was all alone.

In the middle of the night, she dreamed of her past life again, and in a fright, she got out of bed and turned on the night light next to her with a look of disbelief.

My lower back, neck, and spine are all aching.

It hurts so much, and I'm so tired.

I only felt alive again when I touched the hospital bedding.

Lu Zhi lay on the bed in a daze for a long time, muttering to herself, "Could it be that Gu Yizhi has also awakened to his past life and regained his memories?"

This speculation came out.

She broke out in a cold sweat.

If it were true, I would die a far more tragic death than in my previous life.

Because he loved Shen Luoyao to the core.

It could even cost you your life.

Perhaps hiring someone to rape her was the first step in preventing himself from entering the entertainment industry and making things difficult for Shen Luoyao.

Perhaps she should try to test the waters.

Lu Zhi didn't sleep well for the rest of the night, feeling as if she had been hit by a stage light pole, and her whole body ached.

Several days passed like this, with Lu Zhi eating and sleeping without any other activities.

-

someday.

The morning light slanted into the window, carrying the air of dawn.

Another new day.

Lu Zhi stretched and got out of bed. The scar on her forehead seemed to have healed a bit and wasn't hurting as much anymore.

The door was pushed open, and she finally saw Gu Yizhi.
