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

Hearing these words, Lu Zhi felt a little relieved, but Pei Yi's eyes remained filled with worry.

She saw the man's back as he chatted animatedly with the doctor.

I wish I could remember every single detail.

A warmth filled my heart.

-

After quickly tidying up the hospital bed, they were discharged and walked outside to find the sky a clear blue.

Lu Zhi's mood improved slightly, but then she bumped into someone again.

The corners of his mouth immediately turned down.

acquaintance.

Shen Luoyao was proudly supporting her belly.

At the same time, she was accompanied by several assistants, carrying large and small bags.

more importantly.

Gu Yizhi was also by her side.

"Oh, isn't this Lu Zhi?" Hearing the sweet, coquettish greeting, Lu Zhi felt nauseous, though she found it rather disgusting.

When she saw Gu Yizhi again, she didn't feel much emotion.

After all, those unbearable past events are all in the past.

Lu Zhi blinked slightly, took Pei Yi's arm, and whispered, "Let's go."

Just as he took a step, Shen Luoyao stood in front of him. "Don't you know? I'm pregnant. It's obvious."

"oh."

Seemingly shocked by her own indifference, Shen Luoyao looked at him with disbelief, "Aren't you worried that your position as Mrs. Gu is unstable?"

This time, Lu Zhi hadn't even started speaking yet.

The tall man in question stepped forward and said, "Miss Shen, please watch your words and don't address me by the wrong name."

Hearing this, Lu Zhi felt a warmth in her heart and gripped his hand even tighter.

My peripheral vision was fixed on him.

It even carried a hint of warmth.

This scene seemed to sting Gu Yizhi, his eyes reddening completely, unable to accept the fact that he was not loved.

A hoarse voice rang out, "Zhizhi, there's really no chance for us."

As the sound came, Shen Luoyao became noticeably more nervous, her eyes filled with defensiveness, and she kept stroking her pregnant belly.

They could see that each of them had their own thoughts.

Lu Zhi almost laughed. "Mr. Gu, you should take better care of your pregnant wife."

Gu Yizhi shook his head. "I told Mom I wouldn't marry anyone but you. It just so happens that Shen Luoyao is pregnant, and she's worried about the family line ending, so..."

"This is your family matter."

"You don't need to tell me."

Lu Zhi's eyelashes drooped, showing little interest.

"As long as you are willing to return to the Gu family, I will give Shen Luoyao a sum of money to abort the child."

Everyone heard the cold and ruthless words.

Shen Luoyao's face turned pale, but she was powerless to refute. She could only look at him with pitiful eyes, trying to gain his pity and change his mind.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

Gu Yizhi simply moved further away, his gaze fixed on her.

Lu Zhi slowly spoke: "After all, it is a life. I would not stoop to such an evil act."

"If you can't bear it, I can let Yao Yao give birth, and the three of us can live together."

Hearing these words, if Lu Zhi hadn't just been discharged from the hospital and was still concerned about her wound, she would have wanted to slap her twice right away.

Pei Yi scoffed, as if mocking ignorance.

"Since Mr. Gu is so generous, why don't you include me?"

"Um?"

These words shattered Gu Yizhi's plans, and his expression became much more unpleasant.

Lu Zhi's lips curled upwards.

The two left.

But then they unexpectedly bumped into someone, Gu Yuanming, who was Gu Yizhi's father.

She was also the only person she felt indebted to in the entire Gu family.

He was very outspoken, his face flushed, "My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and you all were kept in the dark. If it weren't for this company inspection today..."

I spoke too quickly and a bit too fast, and I was a little out of breath.

"Cough cough cough." Gu Yuanming choked on his throat.

Even though she had severed ties with the Gu family, Lu Zhi couldn't help but ask with concern, "Slow down, no rush."

Gu Yuanming asked in confusion, "Why don't you call me Dad anymore?"

Lu Zhi's expression froze for a moment, not expecting that something was amiss so soon after the start.

I originally thought it was better to avoid trouble.

To cover for him.

Now it seems that it's not going to work out.

Before Lu Zhi could think of what to say, she heard Gu Yuanming say to himself, "It's okay, you don't have to call him. How's your little grandson, Zhizhi?"

Lu Zhi pursed her lips.

It paused for a few seconds.

She slowly spoke, "I'm not the one who's pregnant. Why don't you ask Shen Luoyao?"

Upon being reminded, Gu Yuanming noticed Shen Luoyao beside him, and his expression became much more unpleasant. "You."

The two words seemed to be spoken on her behalf.

At this moment, Shen Luoyao's eyes were slightly red, but she still wanted to cling to him and took the initiative to call out, "Dad."

This sentence infuriated Gu Yuanming so much that he almost dropped his cane.

Realizing what was happening, he smacked Gu Yizhi on the back with the stick, yelling, "You scoundrel! Doing all this shady stuff outside, how can you face Zhizhi?"

Fearing that she might get sick from getting angry, Lu Zhi took the initiative to say, "It's okay, we haven't gotten a marriage certificate."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanming frowned. "The wedding banquet has already been held, so why didn't you register your marriage? Didn't I ask Gu Yizhi to take you there?"

"Oh dear, it was my fault, I completely forgot about it."

As they were talking, suddenly another person appeared.

Lu Zhi recognized her at a glance; it was her former "mother-in-law," Jiang Xing.

Hearing the explanation, Gu Yuanming's expression softened slightly, and he ordered, "Since it's a misunderstanding, Zhizhi, let's just go and get a new marriage certificate."

"Fortunately, since we couldn't have a big wedding banquet because your parents had just passed away, this time we'll definitely make it a grand affair."

Every word he uttered was for Lu Zhi's benefit.

Lu Zhi's eyes couldn't help but redden slightly.

Unfortunately, it's impossible for her and Gu Yizhi to be together anymore.

Lu Zhi shook her head. "No need."

"That won't do." Gu Yuanming frowned. "They're so foolish. They just kept the wedding simple and didn't care about you at all."

"Useless piece of trash who can't even do this little thing right."

Seeing his insistence, Shen Luoyao's face darkened completely, her eyes reddened, and she tugged at Gu Yizhi's sleeve, "Dad, do you really not like me?"

Gu Yizhi: "Don't interrupt when your elders are speaking."

Seeing that this tactic had failed, Shen Luoyao simply resorted to her previous method, only to find herself in a sudden darkness and about to fall again.

This time, Gu Yizhi skillfully avoided the situation and instructed his assistant, "Take Miss Shen to the maternity ward, and she doesn't need to come out until she gives birth."

After saying that, he added, "Also, if there are suicidal thoughts, the embryo should be removed directly."

Upon hearing this decision, Lu Zhi's face turned pale.

For some reason, I thought of those two times I was placed under house arrest.

Gu Yizhi really hasn't changed his nature as always.

However, she had no intention of speaking up for Shen Luoyao.

After all, the hurt from back then is still fresh in our minds.

I'm not a saint.

They don't hold grudges at all.

As she finished speaking, Lu Zhi took Pei Yi's hand and prepared to leave, but then she heard Gu Yuanming call out, "Don't worry, she'll handle it. Come with me to get the marriage certificate."

"This time, I will personally oversee the process and ensure you don't suffer any injustice."
