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

Lu Zhi lowered her eyes, a hint of worry creeping into them.

It only took a few seconds.

Under the dim yellow light.

The man's arm was around her waist, and she heard his whisper in her ear, "Hmm, you want me to leave that badly?"

At this moment, the two were very close to each other.

She was so close she could smell the man's breath. A blush crept onto Lu Zhi's face, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread.

Lu Zhi's heart was pounding, but she tried her best to control herself.

She looked up, her eyelashes fluttering as she gazed at Pei Yi. "So, will you?"

"No," Pei Yi said without hesitation. "Besides, who would leave right after a wedding? That's foolish."

"Besides, I can work remotely without any disruption."

A silent tear rolled down Lu Zhi's cheek.

Suddenly realized.

Just how abnormal were Gu Yizhi's behaviors in his past life?

Lu Zhi turned to the side and kissed the man, softly murmuring his name, "Pei Yi".

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you." Lu Zhi looked up earnestly. "Thank you for choosing me from among so many people."

Pei Yi's eyes remained indifferent, and he did not speak.

My heart was already filled with a tremendous surge of emotions.

Thank you too.

It added a splash of color to my bleak childhood.

Countless times, this memory of a rainbow stopped the boy from committing suicide.

-

Time flies, spring comes and autumn goes, and Lu Zhi feels very happy every holiday with Pei Yi by her side.

Over the past year.

Pei Yi accompanied Lu Zhi to film crews of all sizes across the country.

She even works remotely, prioritizing her work schedule over the Pei Group.

Pei Yi originally belonged to the Pei family, so his assets were considerable.

Basically, I'm very willing to invest in good scripts, but I have one condition: Lu Zhi has to play the female lead.

At first glance, I noticed the sheer amount of money he spent.

Lu Zhi was startled.

They invest hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars without batting an eye.

She made up her mind and worked even harder to improve herself.

With the acting skills accumulated in the previous life, and the money paved the way in this life.

Soon, those investments were basically recouped.

While Lu Zhi was still jokingly saying that she was working for Pei Yi for free, she suddenly realized that she didn't know when it started.

Revenue from box office revenue sharing, GG endorsements, and similar income.

She got them all.

Lu Zhi was startled and quickly called out to Pei Yi, "I was just joking. Besides, even if I let you work for free for a year and turn yourself into a big star, you'd still make a profit."

Pei Yi didn't even lift his eyelids, and said indifferently, "Here you go."

"To increase my motivation to work, so I can get married sooner."

"What is it?" Lu Zhi was a little amused and exasperated, but she still gladly accepted the kindness, thinking that she would wait until the wedding.

It can then be used for the disposal of marital property.

Just then, I was reminded that I had to attend the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony.

-

As soon as I reached the entrance, a group of people walked towards me, holding light sticks for their fans.

"Wow, I finally saw Zhizhi! She's so beautiful!"

"Three movies a year, plus variety shows, films, and commercial endorsements, I feel so sorry for the baby."

Lu Zhi greeted them warmly, then took Pei Yi's hand and led them into the inner area, where a large red velvet curtain was drawn back.

The lights were so bright they were blinding.

The opening performance featured newcomer Xu Nuo performing "To Filmmakers," a song specially created for the awards ceremony.

The host, Jiang Fang, introduced himself, while the actor next to him introduced himself as a filmmaker.

He then gave a political speech, followed by an introduction of the chairman of the selection committee.

Each award has different judges.

After the introduction was finished, Lu Zhi and the people below began to applaud enthusiastically.

The big screen slowly lit up, and clips from the entire movie began playing. The awards for Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and so on, were then announced.

This is also the most exciting moment.

Lu Zhi sat down below, her breathing slowing down, fearing she might not be selected.

In the end, Pei Yi's sincerity will be misplaced.

Pei Yi offered her a bottle of water in a reassuring manner, considering the rather formal occasion.

Lu Zhi simply placed the water aside without drinking it.

Even so, it relieved most of the tension.

"The shortlist includes Xu Qing from 'By the River,' Lu Zhi from 'Our Era,' Chen Jixi from 'The Weight of Life'..."

As the video scrolled across the screen, Lu Zhi's heart was in her throat.

It wasn't until the host announced, "Congratulations to the winner, Lu Zhi from 'Our Era'," that the winner was revealed.

Upon hearing the news of her award, tears of excitement welled up in Lu Zhi's eyes.

In my past life, all the grievances have vanished like smoke.

It turns out.

The reason why I was always inferior to Shen Luoyao before was simply because I was subject to too many restrictions.

She placed all her hopes on Gu Yizhi.

Before Lu Zhi could even step onto the stage, the actor next to her gave her a friendly hug.

She returned a warm hug.

She walked confidently onto the awards stage, where the host, Shen Jia, dressed in a red dress, handed her the trophy and certificate, and prompted, "Let's congratulate actress Lu Zhi and invite her to give her acceptance speech."

Under the golden light, everything was so dazzling.

Lu Zhi's eyes reddened, she held the trophy in her hand, and her gaze fell on Pei Yi below.

The man's dark eyes were filled with approval and pride.

At this moment, all she wanted to do was declare Pei Yi's existence to the world, regardless of the consequences.

Lu Zhi took a deep breath. "First of all, I'm very grateful to the directors I've worked with before, such as Xu Luo and Chen Huan, for taking such good care of me..."

"Finally, I would like to give a special thank you to Pei Yi!"

"Without him, I would not be shining on stage."

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Lu Zhi. The stage lights made her look even more divine. She wore an elegant yellow dress with rose embroidery along the edges.

She looked like a fairy who had accidentally fallen to earth.

It's so beautiful.

After receiving the award and accepting the trophy, Lu Zhi returned to her seat.

Next, several more awards were presented, including Best Screenplay, Best Director, Jury Prize, and Best Story.

Until all the awards had been presented.

Music started playing from all directions. Lu Zhi looked up and saw someone playing accompaniment on the stage above, while dancers sang below.

Everything is fine.

This scene had happened many times in my past lives.

But she always ended up being the runner-up.

Today, Lu Zhicai truly felt the weight of the trophy.

At the end of the event, the host and all the award recipients stood together and invited the president of the Film Association to the stage.

The chairman announced the closing of the meeting.

Thank you for coming, see you next year.

As the words fell, everyone on the stage waved goodbye at the same time.

Lu Zhi's gaze was deep and thoughtful.

The story of the stage has come to an end.

But the story of her life has only just begun.

Looking into Pei Yi's dark eyes, she was momentarily lost in thought, contemplating matters related to the wedding.
