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

"If I leave him, no one will love me anymore."

Looking at Shen Luoyao's pale face, Lu Zhi thought of her past life, where she had also been harmed in such a terrible way.

Not even the slightest bit of pity could arise.

Lu Zhi tilted her head. "With your abilities, finding another powerful person shouldn't be difficult, right?"

She hadn't forgotten that in her previous life, Shen Luoyao had successfully entered Gu Yizhi's circle and become very close with those wealthy families.

Gu Yizhi even said that he was bad at socializing.

There was a long silence at the scene; no sound was heard.

Just as Lu Zhi was thinking it was over, Shen Luoyao suddenly said with an embarrassed expression, "They were all after my body."

Hearing that sweet, delicate voice...

Lu Zhi shivered involuntarily, after all, the influence of her past life was still too deep.

It's like it's inside the bone marrow.

"I really don't want to trade my body for wealth and status. You know, what girl doesn't want to have true love?"

Lu Zhi's eyes widened slightly.

Suddenly, I realized something: the reason why Shen Luoyao was able to thrive in Gu Yizhi's circle in her previous life was because...

The main reason is that someone is willing to guide you.

In this lifetime, the guide has lost contact, and the only way to enter again is through an unspeakable transaction.

Shen Luoyao continued rambling on, "Gu Yizhi and I are true love."

"True love should have a way to contact each other, right?" Lu Zhi moved to the side, preparing to leave.

"I've blocked them, and now I can't see anyone around me."

As she spoke, Shen Luoyao moved closer and closer, her eyes as calm as a lake.

Lu Zhi frowned, her guard up even more.

Caught off guard, she pulled out a utility knife and stabbed herself in the waist and abdomen.

A sharp pain shot through me, and blood began to flow.

Lu Zhi's face turned pale.

But then he saw Pei Yi snatch the knife away fiercely.

With a snap.

The sound of a metal knife hitting the ground rang out, and Lu Zhi's abdominal pain became unbearable.

"Quick, call the doctor!"

"Hang in there, we're coming right away."

Just as Lu Zhi was about to lose consciousness, she suddenly saw another tall figure appear beside Pei Yi.

It is Gu Yizhi.

So, he came too.

Lu Zhi's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. Was he here to laugh at her?

The medical staff took a roll of gauze and bandaged the wound on her waist and abdomen. After Lu Zhi recovered a little, she was transferred to a stretcher.

As Lu Zhi was leaving, she heard Shen Luoyao's heart-wrenching voice, "You've finally agreed to see me."

"You shouldn't have hurt her." The man pushed Shen Luoyao away without any mercy, looking at her with deep affection in his eyes.

Lu Zhi felt disgusted.

Their entanglement continued, and Shen Luoyao muttered softly, "Then how can you get out?"

-

With the sound of an ambulance siren, Lu Zhi was lifted onto a stretcher.

When I woke up again, I was in the hospital.

Pei Yi was peeling an apple nearby, extremely patiently.

The moment he saw her wake up, he stopped what he was doing, his dark eyes looking at her. "You're awake."

Lu Zhi felt very tired and didn't want to talk much, so she only replied with a "Mm".

The single word didn't annoy Pei Yi at all; instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It seemed that she was happy to be able to wake up.

"Cough cough." Lu Zhi turned her face away, tucking the blanket on the hospital bed in front of her. "Don't catch a cold."

Hearing Pei Yi's voice, she felt a warmth in her heart. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

"How many times has he been to the hospital already?" Pei Yi smirked.

"Next time I'll definitely get you a bodyguard."

"No." Lu Zhi's eyes brightened slightly. "If people start talking about me, they'll say I'm not a big star and that I'm acting like a diva."

"Then let them talk about it."

"What's wrong with my wife now, Pei Yi's wife?"

As the two chatted, a pair of brown eyes seemed to have taken in everything that had just happened.

His expression showed much more pain, but he suppressed it.

It seems like just a second ago.

It was as if Lu Zhi was mistaken.

Lu Zhi looked up at Gu Yizhi, "Have you dealt with Shen Luoyao?"

"Um."

"She won't bother you again."

Pei Yi: "How was it handled?"

Gu Yizhi: "They'll take you to the police station."

"Fine, you've caused this trouble, so you'll handle it yourself. I'll let it go this time, but we'll deal with it next time."

"Mr. Gu probably wants to experience what it's like to be in a hospital."

"No." Gu Yizhi's gaze was firm. "I will protect my wife."

"It counts even if you haven't even gotten the certificate?" Pei Yi raised an eyebrow.

The man seemed completely unmoved by this.

Lu Zhi chuckled.

Seeing Gu Yizhi's discomfiture, she felt a little better. After all, in her previous life, the entire Gu family had used the fact that she hadn't registered her marriage to suppress her.

Now, it's their turn.

Gu Yizhi looked up. "Zhizhi, let's start over."

"Shen Luoyao has already gone inside, so no one will bother us anymore."

The voice was more composed than ever before.

Lu Zhi even vaguely heard the vows she made at her wedding.

Thinking about that matter.

It was her lifelong regret.

My heart is pounding so badly.

At this moment, Pei Yi was sitting on a small stool next to the hospital bed.

His expression was indifferent.

On the surface, he showed no emotion, but Lu Zhi could always glean something from the smallest details.

I sensed a nagging worry.

It seems she was afraid of being abandoned.

Lu Zhi reached out her hand and asked Pei Yi, "Get me an apple."

Try to distract him.

Pei Yi picked up the fruit knife and cleaned the apple that he had just peeled halfway.

A color of meticulousness.

It was just delivered to Lu Zhi.

She took a bite of the apple before speaking, "Gu Yizhi, don't you understand?"

"Understand what?"

"The problem between you and me has never been about Shen Luoyao."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yizhi's face turned pale and embarrassed, but unexpectedly, even after saying that, he remained calm.

He did not voluntarily withdraw.

"I can change anything, I can give you everything the Gu family has."

Lu Zhi shook her head. "It's because our feelings for each other have faded."

As he finished speaking, a look of confusion and disbelief crossed the man's eyes.

After more than a decade of getting along, Lu Zhi finally understood.

This is not something that can be easily given up.

After seeing Gu Yizhi off, Lu Zhi finally had a chance to look at Pei Yi. She saw that his fox-like eyes were narrowed to slits, and he seemed extremely happy.

"You're this happy about breaking up?" Lu Zhi's lips twitched.

Pei Yi: "You're single now, there's nothing to celebrate."

"We're just a couple right now, it doesn't necessarily mean I'll be your wife, so you'll have to work hard."

"Yes, Miss Lu."

Sure enough, Pei Yi became incredibly patient from then on.

He personally served tea and water, and did everything else.

Lu Zhi even felt it was a bit cheap, until after an afternoon of rest, the nurse came to check on her and said, "You're not in serious trouble. Just take good care of your wound for half a month and you can be discharged."
