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

I got a few other classmates to help me get onto the stretcher.

Those men were clumsy.

They made the person stagger around, their clothes were all messed up, and part of them were pulled out.

I then noticed that my skin was covered with countless scars.

Suddenly, I felt incredibly guilty.

I'm wondering if I'm the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I'm afraid it will kill someone.

I followed them all the way to the hospital.

When he woke up, the doctor said there was nothing seriously wrong, just malnutrition and external wounds.

Out of guilt, I stayed to take care of him and often gave him delicious food.

I really like his personality; he's always quiet and reserved.

Unlike other people who would confess their feelings to me at the drop of a hat, I would occasionally confide these troubles to him, and he would listen patiently with a frown.

The only problem is that if I bring up anything related to Gu Yizhi, I will be rejected.

So annoying.

I'll ignore him from now on.

-

That concludes the entries in the diary.

Lu Zhi suddenly realized that perhaps Pei Yi's affection for her had appeared long ago.

She just didn't realize it and foolishly kept moving forward.

In the darkness, with nothing else around, Lu Zhi could only repeatedly savor the few pages of her torn-out diary.

until--

As the candles burned out, the entire villa was plunged into complete darkness.

Misfortune never comes singly.

Rumbling--

A sudden clap of thunder and lightning rang out, and Lu Zhi could only curl up in the damp blankets. If she sniffed carefully, she could smell the mold.

Perhaps, rainy days are even more despairing.

Many memories flashed through her mind: the happiness of her family, Gu Yizhi's neglect, and the scene of the car accident on a rainy day.

I'm starting to feel like I don't want to live anymore.

However, when Lu Zhi thought of Pei Yi, she still gripped the page of the diary tightly and muttered to herself, "You'd better hurry."

Half asleep and half awake.

Lu Zhi was awakened by nightmares many times. Each time, she glanced at the darkness and continued to curl up in the quilt.

Two days passed just like that.

Occasionally someone would deliver food during this time, but they would leave quickly.

She has no way to keep track of time, so she can only judge by the number of times she delivers food.

-

On the third day, the villa door was opened and Gu Yizhi walked in.

His face looked rather grim, and his waist and abdomen were still wrapped in wounds. "Damn it, Pei Yi is a complete madman."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

These days I'm being held captive in Jingyuan.

I'm already exhausted.

"Can I leave now?" Lu Zhi looked at the iron chain and asked softly.

The little assistant beside Gu Yizhi had malice practically overflowing in her eyes. "Mr. Gu, since Young Master Pei is so ruthless, actually sending people to ambush you, saying he wants you to taste the pain that Lu Zhi suffered."

"Let's just..."

Gu Yizhi: "Why not?"

"Kill Lu Zhi, make him regret it, and teach him a lesson."

As soon as the suggestion was made, Lu Zhi suddenly noticed that Gu Yizhi's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was really considering it.

Lu Zhi's face turned deathly pale.

Did I go through all that effort yesterday just to be killed?

Lu Zhi suddenly felt unwilling to give up, and without making a sound, she hid a sharp weapon in her hand, preparing to fight to the death.

The man remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, Gu Yizhi finally spoke slowly: "Release Lu Zhi."

The assistant looked on incredulously and shouted, "Young Master Gu!"

"Release them."

Despite being given a strong order, the assistant obeyed.

Soon, the iron chains on Lu Zhi's hands were unlocked, and the heaviness dissipated instantly.

The red marks were still visible where her wrists were bound.

Even the slightest movement will still cause pain.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but frown, but still thanked Gu Yi, saying, "Thank you."

"But if there is a next time, I will never forgive so easily, even if it means both I and the Gu family suffer losses."

Hearing this, the man frowned. "Do you really have to go this far?"

"Um."

Lu Zhi lowered her head. "Yes."

This can be considered as giving an explanation for the past between the two of them.

As Lu Zhi left the villa in Jingyuan, she looked up at the sky and found it so blue and bright.

It gives you a feeling of boundless freedom.

-

During this time, Lu Zhi made a special trip back to Chengyuan and cleaned everything up.

Back in the small apartment.

Lu Zhi felt warm and comfortable.

Suddenly, she looked up and saw Pei Yi sitting casually on the sofa under the warm yellow light of the home. "You're back."

At this moment, the soul is free, and the living environment is safe.

The person you like is right beside you.

There has never been a moment when we were safer than now.

Lu Zhi's eyes were slightly red, and she felt like crying. All her words could be summed up in one word: "Mmm."

I walked over to the sofa.

Pei Yi seemed to notice the scar on his hand and went to the first-aid kit in the living room to get some cotton wool and gauze.

Pei Yi frowned fiercely and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, I should have hired someone to be even more ruthless."

Those dark eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

It seems they really do have this plan.

Not wanting to cause any more trouble, Lu Zhi pretended to be normal and gave an awkward smile, "I'm fine."

"I'm sorry." Pei Yi lowered his head to wipe her wound, his eyes full of heartache. "I thought of many options, whether to admit defeat or to fight to the death."

"It seems like I made the wrong choice; I picked the dumbest one."

"I hurt you."

Hearing his words of concern, Lu Zhi felt a warmth in her heart and reached out to gently stroke his hair. "It's okay."

"You don't understand. I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if something happens to him, you'll find a way to lock him up." Pei Yi's dark eyes were filled with an indescribable heaviness.

"He's become used to being spoiled."

"No," Lu Zhi said confidently. "I've already moved out of the Gu family's villa, so they won't have a chance to make a move on me anymore."

"no."

"That's not enough. You forgot, this time it was Gu Yizhi who tied you up on the way here."

Pei Yi shook his head, somewhat disagreeing.

"How about this, I'll send you a bodyguard."

"Me?" Lu Zhi pointed to herself, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Okay, stop fooling around."

"I've already said, if this happens again, we'll be irreconcilable enemies."

"Besides, I'm not a big star."

Pei Yi's eyes grew even darker, gleaming with light. "Who said that? A future superstar."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi's heart started pounding.

But she quickly regained her composure.

He made up an excuse: "I'm hungry, I need to go to the fridge to find something to eat."

Just as he raised his hand, Pei Yi raised an eyebrow, stretched out his hand and placed it on the sofa. "Stay here. I, Pei Yi, wouldn't let a patient look for food."

After saying that, he walked towards the refrigerator.

Lu Zhi felt a warmth in her heart when she saw that tall figure.

My phone popped up with a new trending topic on Weibo: [Is superstar Shen Luoyao suspected of breaking up with CEO Gu?]
