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

Lu Zhi: "I want to act."

Gu Yizhi didn't even lift his eyelids. "Impossible."

Hearing his clear refusal, Lu Zhi's heart trembled, and her face paled.

It's always like this.

Always making decisions for themselves.

Just then, the clock struck midnight, and the assistant reminded him, "Mr. Gu, it's lunch break time."

Click—

The door was opened without a knock.

Lu Zhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shen Luoyao, dressed in a white dress, walking inside.

Soon, some everyday dishes were thoughtfully placed on the table.

The woman's voice was soft, "Easy to know."

"Why are you up here?" He didn't even lift his eyelids, clearly used to it.

"I don't feel comfortable eating with you without you by my side."

Shen Luoyao picked up her chopsticks, took a small bite of the lion's head meatball, and then fed the remaining half to Gu Yizhi.

This scene caught Lu Zhi's eye, and she couldn't help but feel her eyes redden.

His face turned pale.

She couldn't shake off the feeling until another voice interrupted her thoughts, "I didn't come here to have dinner with President Gu."

Pei Yi sat on the sofa and raised his eyes.

His dark eyes were filled with danger.

Shen Luoyao feigned confusion, "Is it something very important?"

"It's nothing."

"unimportant."

Upon hearing these three words, Lu Zhixin's heart sank, and she felt even more distressed.

Yes.

Everything she does is trivial.

In his eyes, none of that mattered, not even her life.

Lu Zhi's gaze was fixed on them.

It's hard to part with.

Shen Luoyao leaned close to Gu Yizhi's lips and gave him a very natural kiss, "Good afternoon kiss."

The assistant frowned and reminded him, "President Gu is in his office."

With a single glance from the man, the assistant quickly fell silent.

Lu Zhi's eyes darkened further.

In private, they are definitely even more unrestrained.

During her imprisonment in the villa, they probably even took the final step.

And yet, after being married to Gu Yizhi for so long, nothing has happened...

Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat; she felt uncomfortable and wanted to escape. "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Wait a minute." Her elbow was firmly grasped by another hand. "Things aren't completely sorted out yet."

That's Pei Yi's voice.

Lu Zhi frowned slightly.

Of course she knew that if she stayed any longer, she would burst into tears.

"never mind."

Seemingly sensing her unwillingness, Pei Yi raised his eyes slightly and said logically, "Since President Gu says it's not important, then I'll pretend the contract wasn't signed."

The man seemed to be completely focused on Shen Luoyao, and they leaned against each other.

It's considered an implicit agreement.

Lu Zhi noticed that his eyes were slightly red and his heart was beating faster.

Pei's translation.

We've already broken up, so what can I give you in return?

-

After leaving the president's office, they rushed to the filming location.

Sunlight streams down, illuminating familiar people and scenes.

Lu Zhi was momentarily stunned. "Actually, you don't need to be so nice to me. We're over now."

Pei Yi's eyes lowered, revealing a hint of aggression. He looked up and asked, "What are you thinking? You don't actually believe I still like you, do you?"

"Isn't that right?"

These words seemed to amuse the man, and his rugged face softened somewhat.

It only lasted a few seconds, fleeting in an instant.

Lu Zhi noticed it, and quickly reverted to his usual cold expression. "Don't flatter yourself. I'm just concerned about the crew. You signed the contract."

He simply touched the white cloth on his forehead.

She sounded a little downcast, "Then it seems I can't act anymore, since I'm disfigured."

"Who just said they wanted it?"

"I..." Lu Zhi was speechless after being rebuked, and suddenly realized how sharp-tongued the man in front of her was.

"I was just saying that because I was in a hurry to leave Gu Yizhi."

Pei Yi frowned. "Don't even think about skipping work."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi's eyes dimmed considerably. "But my wound... Surely Young Master Pei wouldn't mistreat a patient like this?"

"I'll have the screenwriter rearrange your character and storyline."

"No, we still need a makeup artist to redo the look."

"There are countless ways..." Pei Yi's dark eyes were full of determination, "as long as you don't give up."

Listening to these words.

Lu Zhi's heart began to pound violently for the first time in a long time. A beam of light shone on the man, and his words were full of power.

This left her with no reason to refuse.

-

Enter the photography studio.

After her makeup and styling were changed, the stylist carefully removed the gauze from her face.

But I still accidentally touched it.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but hiss, "It hurts."

After apologizing repeatedly, the matter was resolved.

The new makeup artist gave her a hat, and the accessories on it were just enough to cover the wound.

At the same time, a new biography of the character himself was added, and the hat was the only keepsake left by his deceased mother.

As she prepared to go over and take the picture, whispers arose around her.

"Have you heard? Shen Luoyao is going to be a part of our drama."

"No way, I really wanted to come when filming started, but I couldn't make it. Now that we've filmed more than half of it..."

"Absolutely true, because they have powerful backers."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi felt a chill in her heart and leaned weakly against the tree.

No one knows better than her.

The production team was fully funded by Pei Yi.

Shen Luoyao was unable to enter the game several times before because he was blocking her way.

at the moment……

Lu Zhi didn't want to think about the unnecessary details anymore.

I only felt pain.

Why is it that whenever she develops a slight liking for someone, she always leaves?

My gaze drifts into the distance.

Shen Luoyao, who was wearing a white dress in the morning, has changed into a blue Dior dress and greeted the other actors warmly.

"Hello everyone, this is milk tea that I'm treating you all."

As soon as she finished speaking, her assistant, carrying a large box of milk tea, dispersed.

Wow, the real person is even better than the movie.

"She and the Best Actor are a perfect match."

"She's probably here to replace Lu Zhi. She looks quite similar. It's true that for professional matters, actors are the best choice."

Surrounded by the crowd, Shen Luoyao smiled.

They exude the style of celebrities.

Only Lu Zhi felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing this scene.

Why should we even fight for what we ourselves have to fight for?

She can get them all with ease.

"We're about to start filming, what are you guys standing around for?" the group leader shouted, and the group immediately headed to the filming location.

She was the only one they didn't call.

Lu Zhi remained where he was.

I'm starting to regret joining this production team.

He brought shame upon himself.

She stood by the lake, lost in thought, staring blankly at the clear water.

Suddenly, a simple-minded young man walked over and said, "Please don't do anything rash."

"I was just spacing out."

Lu Zhi raised her head.

The young man was stunned by her beauty, exclaiming, "Damn, you're not Shen Luoyao!"

"I am not."

"That's right. Shen Luoyao should be filming right now. I came to the set specifically to see her."

Lu Zhi fell silent.

She never expected that just wanting to relax by the lake would lead her to run into Shen Luoyao's fans.

Really haunted.

Thinking of his kind consideration, Lu Zhi offered, "Would you like me to take you in? Consider it a visit to the set."

"No need, I was her first fan. I sold my house to support her debut."

"After her business failed, she stopped talking to me."
