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

She couldn't help but retort, "I thought you were planning to imprison me until I died?"

Gu Yizhi: "If you want to."

"Me too."

Looking into the man's dark eyes, which didn't seem to be joking, Lu Zhi couldn't help but shiver.

My past life has already wasted a lifetime.

I don't want to repeat the same mistake.

"Let's go."

Hearing his urging voice, Lu Zhi asked in confusion, "Where to?"

"Gu Group"

Lu Zhi looked up and said without thinking, "No, I'm still a patient and don't have time to accompany you to work."

"Even if you have to push a wheelchair, you have to go." His face darkened, as if he was in a bad mood. "I don't have time to chat with you. You'll see Pei Yi, whom you've been longing for, once you get there."

"Don't you get annoyed seeing his messages all the time these days?"

She slightly raised her eyelashes. "Please leave for a moment, I need to change my clothes."

"Are you in such a hurry?" The man's brows furrowed even deeper, and his entire demeanor became more subdued.

"Yes."

He took a deep breath, seemingly to deliberately humiliate her, and sat down on the chair by the bed without moving. "Since that's the case, I don't need to go out. To avoid wasting time, let's just change."

Lu Zhi froze, her entire movement stiffening.

After hesitating for a couple of seconds, she pulled up the hem of her clothes, preparing to take them off.

"Lu Zhi." Suddenly, a man's harsh voice rang out, "Do you have any shame at all? Is this how your parents raised you?"

Her eyes darkened slightly.

I thought of many sad things, and I could mention anyone else, but I couldn't mention my deceased parents.

Especially Gu Yizhi, he doesn't deserve it.

Lu Zhi suppressed her distress, adopting a cold demeanor. "I, Lu Zhi, am nothing but a destitute orphan. How could I possibly be worthy of Young Master Gu?"

"You didn't say that yourself."

As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, and she spoke slowly, each word deliberate and slow, as if she were carefully crafting her emotions with every sentence.

For the first time in a long time, the man fell silent.

A few minutes later, Gu Yizhi said, "Let's change." He walked out of the room and locked it.

The tone of those two short words was unclear—whether it was a concession or mockery.

After changing clothes.

Lu Zhi called out, and the man returned to the ward.

This time, she frowned slightly, and the smell of smoke could be clearly smelled from her nose. She smoked a cigarette in just a few seconds.

However, the thought of meeting Pei Yi was something to behold.

Lu Zhi didn't make a big deal out of it.

-

It's quite a distance from the hospital to the Gu Group; it takes about half an hour by car.

Perhaps I've just been too tired these past few days.

As soon as Lu Zhi got into the car, she couldn't help but close her eyes and fall asleep.

Upon arriving at the location, Gu Yizhi scoffed, "Aren't you getting out? Are you trying to use my Rolls-Royce as a motorhome?"

Hearing the sound, she woke up from her dream of her past life, startled.

Upon entering the Gu family compound, Lu Zhi's bandaged head was too conspicuous, attracting the attention of many people along the way.

However, standing beside him was Gu Yizhi, a living Yama with a dark face.

Not many people discussed it.

However, even from a great distance, Lu Zhi noticed a jealous gaze from Shen Luoyao.

Also within the company.

The employee badge from last time was indeed made for her.

Lu Zhi frowned slightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

The journey was smooth, and soon they arrived at the CEO's office on the top floor, where Lu Zhi saw the figure of the person she had been longing for.

Pei Yi crossed one leg over the other, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

His eyes were covered in bruises, just like he hadn't slept well.

The moment I looked at her.

Pei Yi's dark eyes were filled with heartache, and he immediately stood up and went over to her.

"Zhizhi, what happened to the wound on your head?"

Lu Zhi didn't want to involve him in the Gu family's affairs, so she lied and said, "I accidentally bumped into something these past few days."

The man seemed to realize the lie, "Next time, let's stay in a hotel. The feng shui of the Gu family villa is terrible."

Gu Yizhi frowned deeply, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. "The feng shui of my Gu family is none of your business, you from the Pei family."

"Wherever Zhizhi is, that's where I'll be concerned."

The atmosphere in the entire venue froze.

After all, she is still Gu Yizhi's nominal girlfriend.

Fortunately, it only lasted a few seconds.

Gu Yizhi said impatiently, "If you want to flirt, I can find you a female escort."

"No need, let's talk business."

The tone of his voice seemed a bit off.

Lu Zhi secretly glanced at the two of them.

Could it be that Pei Yi paid a heavy commercial price for himself?

Pei Yi placed the contract on the table. "Now that everyone's alright, you can sign it."

Gu Yizhi ordered, "Sign it, Lu Zhi."

Lu Zhi glanced at it.

The film and television contract for the project "Beautiful Youth" has been terminated.

Her face turned pale, and she felt even more distressed when she thought about how hard she had worked to get the opportunity to join the film crew.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Lu Zhi trembled all over.

I want to loudly question, "Why?"

He, Gu Yizhi, has already ruined his entire life, and that's not enough.

I will still interfere in this life.

Lu Zhi shook her head firmly, "I won't sign."

"Heh." Gu Yizhi seemed to have heard something amusing. He glanced at her with his hawk-like eyes, exuding aggression. "You think you have a choice?"

"You already have a scar on your forehead, how can you still act?"

The disdain in his words was almost overflowing.

original……

So that's where she was waiting.

Lu Zhi took a deep breath and swallowed her grievances. "I don't need to be a lead actor, I can be an extra."

As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful figure appeared in front of her, his tone leaving no room for argument: "You think you have a choice? If it weren't for Pei Yi's insistence on making it complicated, you wouldn't have to sign it yourself."

"I already signed it for you, stop joking around, my Mrs. Gu."

"I'll buy you a bag another day. How much does your movie fee amount to?"

His tone was full of contempt.

Just like all her actions, they were minor and insignificant.

Arrogance as always.

Lu Zhi's eyes darkened, and she felt even more distressed.

What was it about me in my past life that allowed me to pursue Gu Yizhi so relentlessly, year after year?

What a waste of life.

Just when I was about to break down and cry from the pain, a pair of strong hands firmly grasped my hand.

Pei Yi's magnetic voice spoke in my ear, "Young Master Gu, I think that people live in this world not only for money, but also for spirit."

"Don't you find it ridiculous to talk to me about spirituality?"

"Let's not talk about that." Pei Yi didn't seem to care, his expression extremely calm. "You can give money to Zhizhi, and I can give money too. I can also offer spiritual value."

"Young Master Pei is a smart man, why does he have to be so reckless as to steal it?"

His words were full of threats and aggression.

For a moment, Lu Zhi couldn't help but look at Pei Yi, who remained calm and composed.

"Zhizhi, she deserves it."

That one short sentence made Lu Zhi want to cry.

Since my parents passed away, it has been a very long time since anyone has made such a firm choice about themselves.

The conversation continued, but the tension escalated even further.
