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

When Lu Zhi saw this message, her eyes widened in surprise.

How is that possible?

In his past life, Gu Yizhi was willing to risk his life for Shen Luoyao.

separate?

It's probably that marketing account spreading rumors again.

Lu Zhi made a guess in her mind, but quickly put the information out of her mind.

I rested and recovered for several days.

-

A few days later, Lu Zhi was scrolling through Weibo in her apartment when she was drawn to another piece of information.

The president of the Gu Group was attacked by a passerby a few days ago, hospitalized, and suffered an infection that poses a life-threatening risk.

Lu Zhi glanced at the time of the message.

Just recently.

In other words, not long after he escaped from Jingyuan, Gu Yizhi was hospitalized due to an infected wound.

After all, it was someone I had loved for many years.

Even though she no longer loves him, she still can't help but keep up with the news.

I scrolled through a few more messages, not even noticing when Pei Yi arrived, until that one: "Mango or grapes?"

Lu Zhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Pei Yi's brows were furrowed deeply.

A dark and oppressive atmosphere.

It's obvious he's very unhappy.

Lu Zhi explained softly, "I was just watching the news."

After saying that, she herself was somewhat incredulous, and proactively showed the man the red mark on her wrist, "I still have a wound on my hand, so it's unlikely I'll go see him."

"Besides..."

"He also has Shen Luoyao!"

Lu Zhi spoke at length, and Pei Yi's eyebrows relaxed further. "Hmm."

"no."

"What are you 'umming' about?"

Pei Yi raised an eyebrow. "You can go see him."

Hearing these words, Lu Zhi's eyes flashed with shock, but she controlled her emotions and said, "I feel more comfortable at home."

Why?

"Because there's someone I like at home," Lu Zhi said without hesitation.

At this moment, there were only her and Pei Yi in the entire room.

To whom are these words spoken?

it goes without saying.

Pei Yi's dark eyes lit up, and he could hardly contain his smile. "Let's go."

"Where to?"

"The hospital," Pei Yi added casually, "to see Gu Yizhi."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi's eyes lit up. "You're not going to hold it against me?"

"I'm showing off my girlfriend, what's there to fuss about?" Pei Yi grinned, "Besides, you should also say goodbye to the past."

"I'm afraid if I hold a grudge, you'll resent me for the rest of your life because you didn't get to see him one last time before he died."

"Our future is long, Miss Lu."

Hearing that sigh, Lu Zhi's heart pounded.

After several seconds of silence, she slowly said, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

-

Chenxi Hospital is not far from here, about half an hour away.

In addition, Pei Yi is a very good driver.

When Lu Zhi arrived, she was still somewhat dazed.

Upon smelling the unpleasant disinfectant odor in the hospital, Lu Zhi frowned slightly, and one hand put a mask on for her. "I know you hate it."

"It's all prepared."

Lu Zhi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Pei Yi's fox-like eyes slightly narrowed.

I asked the front desk for the bed number.

The two walked over hand in hand, but unexpectedly bumped into someone, 'Grandma' Jiang Xing.

Lu Zhi subconsciously avoided eye contact, not wanting to cause trouble.

He took a few steps back.

Jiang Xing took her hand and said, "I've finally found you. You know Yi Zhi is still unconscious."

Lu Zhi struggled to free her hand, frowned, and said, "Let's find a doctor."

The cold and distant tone didn't deter Jiang Xing; instead, she began to sob, "I saw a doctor, and they said the chances of her surviving are slim."

A loving mother's heart is truly pitiful.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhi temporarily put aside their past misunderstandings and said, "Try to think more positively."

"Go and see Yi Zhi. He's been in a coma for the past few days, but he's only been awake once, and he's been calling your name the whole time," Jiang Xing said sincerely, tears streaming down her face.

"Go see him. I've agreed to let you two get married."

At this moment, she doesn't seem like a high-and-mighty socialite, but just an ordinary mother who cares about her child.

Lu Zhi was somewhat touched. "There's no need to get a marriage certificate. I'll go."

But it wasn't because I believed that he was calling out to me in a dream, or to Shen Luoyao; who knows?

Maybe it's just something they enjoy in bed.

After all, Gu Yizhi has a history of having Shen Luoyao impersonate him in his previous life.

After saying goodbye to Gu's mother, Lu Zhi entered the ward.

The ward was deserted and quiet.

There wasn't even a bouquet of flowers; they said the doctor had warned them against it, fearing that pollen allergies or other adverse reactions might occur.

Gu Yizhi lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, looking much thinner.

His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

It seems like life is almost over.

Lu Zhi couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness that the dignified President Gu's final journey was like this.

A warm embrace came from behind.

Along with that came a gentle voice, "If you want to cry, then cry."

Lu Zhi stood there, without shedding a tear.

Instead, he shook his head. "I'm just sighing."

As the words fell.

The person on the bed seemed to sense the movement and twitched their fingers slightly, "Zhi~zhi."

Seeing this, Lu Zhi's eyes welled up with tears; she was on the verge of death.

They still care about themselves.

To say I can let go of it would be a lie, even if the probability of it being me is one in ten million.

Lu Zhi lowered her eyes, afraid that she would fall in love.

He steeled himself and fell silent.

Pei Yi called to the nurse, "Please check this bed, there's movement in this bed."

Soon, medical staff entered the ward, checked on the patient, and were overjoyed to see the relevant indicators. "The patient seems to be in better condition."

The doctor gave instructions regarding follow-up precautions for the condition.

Gu Yizhi, lying on the hospital bed, called out twice more, "Zhizhi."

Lu Zhi shook her head. "I am not his relative."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yizhi, lying on the hospital bed, frowned almost imperceptibly.

Pei Yi cautiously added, "Yes."

"Well..." The doctor was speechless for a moment. Jiang Xing, overjoyed, burst into tears and quickly replied, "I'm his family member, tell me."

After saying goodbye to the doctor, Lu Zhi took Pei Yi's hand and prepared to go back.

I ran into Jiang Xing again as soon as I stepped into the corridor.

At this moment, her complexion was much better than when we first met, but there was still a lingering sorrow between her brows.

Jiang Xing took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "Zhizhi, thank you for visiting me."

Looking at the bright red casing, Lu Zhi did not accept it.

Jiang Xing began to speak on his own, "So, you know the specific situation inside the ward."

"Gu Yizhi, no one but you can wake him up. Can you...?"

Seeing her troubled expression, Lu Zhi was afraid of being harassed again, so she held Pei Yi's hand even tighter.

At this moment, Pei Yi also stepped in to help out, saying, "Explain the specific terms, and we'll decide whether to agree or not based on the situation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xing's eyes darkened. "Alright, I'd like Zhizhi to take better care of Gu Yizhi."

"No way." Pei Yi refused without even thinking. "His illness has no specific timeframe. If he's sick for life, will Zhizhi have to take care of him for the rest of her life?"
