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

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.

It wasn't until someone tapped her on the shoulder that she noticed, "Sister Lu, what are you looking at so intently?"

"Trending search term: Actress Shen Luoyao being bullied on set."

"What a joke." The man chuckled.

After all, the entire crew treated Shen Luoyao like royalty, so how could it be considered bullying?

Nobody believed it.

Lu Zhi glanced over there.

Filming was still in progress when Shen Luoyao fell and suffered a real injury to her leg.

It's not light; it's really heavy.

As enemies who had fought each other for two lifetimes, Lu Zhixin's heart sank, realizing her deliberate intention.

There's no one else around lately.

Only Pei translated it.

Sure enough, within two seconds, Shen Luoyao started to whine in a coquettish voice, "Ah, it hurts so much."

Her status in the entertainment industry is not low.

These sounds quickly caught the attention of the assistant director, who immediately called to the production assistant, "Go find the infirmary to treat it."

Shen Luoyao was helped away by a group of people.

Lu Zhi was left standing alone, listening to the continuous murmurs of discussion.

"Sigh, this Teacher Shen is really hard to please."

"That's what happens when someone is a big star; they deserve some special treatment."

"She's only been on set for a few days, and she's already causing trouble all the time. I'm starting to suspect that she's doing this on purpose because the production team didn't agree to the terms that required Lu Zhi to leave the crew."

"Shh, stop talking, Lu Zhi is right here."

As if they had inadvertently touched on some secrets of the film crew, the group immediately shut their mouths.

But it was too late.

Lu Zhi had heard everything he said, and her face turned pale.

I thought that once I got away from Gu Yizhi, there would be no more trouble.

did not expect.

I still have to compete with Shen Luoyao.

Moreover, she had just noticed that Shen Luoyao's leg wound seemed to be caused by some reluctance.

She wanted to create a media storm to force herself to leave the production team.

The people behind this are obvious.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but tear up. "This is ruthless extermination."

"What's wrong?"

Looking in the direction of the sound, Pei Yi was walking towards him.

He looked incredibly stylish in a simple polyester crew neck t-shirt, and he was still sweating after exercising.

She lowered her head, unwilling to say more: "It's nothing."

I was able to stay with the crew.

Pei Yi has already helped a lot.

Pei Yi tilted his head. "He doesn't even want to talk to me anymore. King Qi only uses Zhong Wuyan when he needs something, and only uses Xia Yingchun when he doesn't."

"I……"

Lu Zhi stammered for a long time, unable to say anything.

Their relationship is still undecided.

She didn't want to be too embarrassed or cause trouble, so she remained silent for a while.

Finally, Lu Zhi took the initiative to increase the distance between them.

To cover it up.

She pretended to take out her phone and start scrolling, but forgot that the page was still on the trending topic: Shen Luoyao being bullied.

Just then, Pei Yi caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye.

Lu Zhi lowered her head and quickly put her phone back in her pocket.

The man raised an eyebrow. "You hid your chat history with your partner."

"no."

Lu Zhi subconsciously offered an explanation, which earned her a knowing smile from Pei Yi.

"We've seen the records, and the crew members have also gone online. What are you worried about? There will be a public relations team to handle this."

Upon hearing this explanation.

Her gloomy mood improved slightly today.

"for you."

Lu Zhi looked up and saw a beautifully packaged little box placed in front of her.

She paused, stunned. "What is this?"

"Let's take it apart and see."

Lu Zhi carefully opened the gift box and found a whole box of strawberry cakes inside. "Whose birthday is it today?"

After a few seconds of pause, she suddenly realized that Pei Yi had taken the cake.

It must be him.

Lu Zhi: "Happy birthday to you."

Pei Yi casually raised an eyebrow. "I really didn't expect you to be looking forward to my birthday so much."

Lu Zhi blushed and felt like she wanted to find a turtle shell to retreat into.

Fortunately, the awkward moment didn't last too long.

She then heard the man's sneer, "You idiot, you can't even remember your own birthday."

The teasing words were full of warmth.

Lu Zhi instinctively blurted out the truth, "Well, my parents passed away, and we don't keep in touch with our relatives anymore. Gu Yizhi doesn't care about such trivial matters, and I also share the same birthday as Shen Luoyao..."

The more she spoke, the redder her eyes became.

The man seemed to hear her soft sobs, his eyes filled with heartache. "Then, I'll spend every birthday with you from now on, okay?"

"no."

"We currently have no relationship."

A wave of bitterness washed over Lu Zhi.

She couldn't bring the messy affairs of the Gu family out with her.

Three years.

In just three years, we can get Jingyuan back.

Then you'll be free.

By then, Pei Yi will probably be too impatient to wait and will marry someone else.

Having anticipated her departure, Lu Zhi looked at the strawberry cake in front of her and felt a bitter taste hidden beneath the frosting.

"I had my assistant order it; she doesn't know your taste."

Pei Yi looked up. "Not satisfied?"

"No."

Lu Zhi shook her head. "I like it very much."

She picked up the spoon next to her, scooped out a spoonful, and handed it over, "The first bite, for the person who gave you the cake."

Pei Yi smiled slightly. "Is this for your partner?"

Looking at that alluring appearance, Lu Zhi couldn't help but curl her lips upwards, her heart pounding rapidly.

But, just thinking about it...

This relationship ended without a clear conclusion.

She shook her head. "No."

"It's about respecting the fruits of others' labor."

After speaking, she glanced at Pei Yi discreetly, her expression turning somewhat indifferent.

Even in their dark eyes, a glimmer of light remained.

Lu Zhi's heart pounded. Caught off guard, the man took a bite out of the cake from her spoon, a smear of cream still clinging to his lips.

The man's lips were red, making the white spot on them particularly noticeable.

It's strangely erotic.

Why does it have to look so good when a man is eating a cake?

Lu Zhi turned her face away, pretending not to see, "I'm keeping the rest for myself."

"So possessive of your food."

I was afraid that sharing a cake would be too ambiguous.

Lu Zhi took another spoon, scooped out a bite of strawberry, and tasted it.

When scooping out the third spoonful.

Suddenly, Pei Yi snatched the food from his mouth, and he was about to eat it.

His dark eyes were full of smugness.

Bright and flamboyant.

Lu Zhi was stunned by Pei Yi's performance and was momentarily lost in thought.

Suddenly I realized something.

The spoon I used earlier was one I had used myself.

Does this count as an indirect kiss?

But considering her sordid thoughts about Pei Yi, she didn't expose them.

The strawberry cake wasn't big, so it was enough for two people to share.

They finished eating very quickly.

Lu Zhi was called over by the director, and when she got closer, she discovered that the crew had brought over a huge cake.

It's about the size of a person.

It was covered with fresh flowers, and there was a line of small print that read: "Happy Birthday, Zhizhi!"

Who is it for?

it goes without saying.

Lu Zhi felt a warmth in her heart, but before it was over, she heard more discussions.

"Happy birthday."

Happy birthday, Zhizhi.

The cake was quickly cut up, and everyone went to get their lunch boxes to continue filming.

Lu Zhi's scenes are later in the story.

Not in a hurry.

While waiting for a break, Weibo's trending topics were updated.

Clicking through, I saw Shen Luoyao's verified post: "Don't worry everyone, I wasn't bullied. The crew was very kind; they even took me to get treatment when I was injured."

The accompanying picture is of a leg injury.

It was quickly washed away.

"What kind of security measures did the film crew have that allowed Yao Yao to get hurt?"
