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

Thinking about what had happened in the room.

Lu Zhi's face turned deathly pale.

For the first time, I felt that the interior, which once represented love, was dirty.

I'm disgusted even to touch it.

Ironically, every piece of furniture there was carefully selected and arranged by her.

Looking out at the quiet night, Lu Zhi suddenly felt a weariness she had never experienced before.

Surprisingly, she didn't immediately return to the room where Gu Yizhi was, but instead lay down on the sofa.

My gaze happened to fall on a photograph on the table.

The handsome man and beautiful woman in the content look ambiguous and well-matched in the dimly lit environment of the bar.

Of course, if the person involved is not Lu Zhi herself, Pei Yi.

Even better.

Lu Zhi's face stiffened. Wang Ma noticed something was wrong and quickly reached out to take the photos away, saying, "I forgot to do the housework."

"It's okay."

Lu Zhi looked up and asked, "Where did you get the photos?"

"Yes..." Wang Ma stammered, finding it difficult to speak.

Seeing through her worries, Lu Zhi took the initiative to take responsibility, saying, "Go ahead and tell me, I won't cause any trouble."

"Miss Shen, this is for the gentleman."

Lu Zhi frowned slightly, gently rubbing her temples, her head throbbing as if it were about to split open.

Gu Yizhi didn't mention this at all, and only looked at Shen Luoyao the whole time.

Is he finally unable to take it anymore?

Or they simply don't care.

Wang Ma cautiously reminded her, "It's late, Madam, you should go back to your room and sleep early."

Lu Zhi gazed at the dim light in the corridor.

After a long silence, I finally chose a guest room to sleep in.

She was afraid of bumping into Gu Yizhi again, and couldn't help but question him, once again becoming a crazy person driven mad by love like in her previous life.

On her way back to the second floor, Lu Zhi was distracted and tripped.

My knee was scraped and bleeding red blood.

She couldn't help but hiss.

Aunt Wang rushed over to check on you, "Oh dear, how did you get such a big scar? I'll go find some medicine to put on it."

Lu Zhi felt even more pain in her heart and didn't care much about the wound on her leg anymore. "It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days."

"Men won't like women with scars on their bodies anymore. What if Mr. Gu gets seduced by some other woman?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi was momentarily stunned.

Suddenly, the image of him selflessly shielding Shen Luoyao before his death in his previous life flashed into his mind.

Her pupils were dark, and she said bitterly, "I've already lost."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wang Ma lowered her head and remained silent for a while. "Mr. Gu loves you. I've watched you two grow up since you were little. He's always been very caring towards you. Maybe he's just been blinded by someone else for a while."

Lu Zhixin was so exhausted that she could barely breathe. "Maybe."

Wang Ma smiled with relief, picked up a cotton swab, and applied the medicine to her. "You've figured it out, that's right. There are always some unsatisfactory aspects to our marriages."

"You look like a lucky person. Even though the Lu family has fallen on hard times, Young Master Gu is still willing to acknowledge you."

"It can't be called love yet."

Lu Zhi's heart ached terribly, accompanied by a bitter smile.

Why is this good fortune so bitter?

Aunt Wang sighed, "Madam, don't be discouraged. Your husband was just blinded for a moment. After all, you've had a relationship for so many years, he'll come back to you sooner or later."

Lu Zhi remained silent, letting her wipe him.

It was only later that I realized how painful the wound on my knee was; it felt exactly like when the steel pillar on the stage hit me.

One moment, then another, and yet another.

Countless moments have become a dense, ever-present web, weaving together a web that makes it hard for her to breathe.

None of that matters. In everyone's eyes, the fact that she was able to marry into the Gu family is the greatest blessing. How many people really care about how she is doing?

-

She rarely slept in this room; the unfamiliar bed made her feel uncomfortable.

She still couldn't fall asleep until midnight.

Rumbling--

The weather was overcast and rainy, accompanied by occasional thunder.

Looking at the weather outside the window, Lu Zhi's thoughts jumped to the day her mother died in a car accident, when the rain and thunder were just as loud.

From then on, whenever it rained, Gu Yizhi would always try to take the initiative to hug her and comfort her.

Later on, he gradually became impatient and stopped contacting him.

It's okay.

She still loves him and can take the initiative to go to him.

Finally, looking annoyed, he said, "After all these years, aren't you tired of playing the same old trick?"

Out of habit, it happened to be a rainy day.

Lu Zhi still subconsciously wanted to find Gu Yizhi, and a sense of redemption arose in her heart from wanting to find him.

But considering he had just slept with Shen Luoyao.

The entire room smelled bad.

Lu Zhi curled up in the blankets, restraining herself from moving, and told herself: "Don't go, don't become dependent, I have to walk my own path in the future."

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

A cold air was spreading through the rain, and the entire room was damp with sweat.

Lu Zhi instinctively pulled the blanket tighter around herself, unable to ward off the chill.

The long night finally ended in the early morning.

-

It rained all night last night, and the lawn in the garden was covered with dew, and the air was filled with a damp smell.

Lu Zhi's nasal cavity felt as if it were blocked by a layer of water vapor.

It's really uncomfortable.

As soon as I stepped outside, I noticed a figure in my line of sight.

Lu Zhi's eyes were somewhat dazed, while Gu Yizhi looked sharp in his suit and quite energetic.

They were completely unaffected by what happened last night.

Cloudy days easily make people sad, and Lu Zhi's eyes couldn't help but redden, her heart aching with pain.

She was completely unaware of how alluring her posture appeared to others.

Her dark eyes were pitiful, and her black satin velvet dress made her skin look even whiter, giving her an eerie beauty.

Gu Yizhi frowned slightly. "Did you dress up specially to seduce someone?"

This statement seems to be an attempt to vent about the photos from last night.

Does he care about himself too?

Lu Zhi's body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but remind her, "You forgot, today is the anniversary of my parents' death, and the black dress is..."

Gu Yizhi was unusually silent for a moment, then said as if to make amends, "I'll go with you to sweep the graves."

Suddenly, Lu Zhi realized that Gu Yizhi hadn't accompanied her to sweep the graves for several years.

"Then I'll have Wang Ma prepare an extra bouquet of chrysanthemums."

Just seconds after he finished speaking, the phone in the man's pocket rang; it was Shen Luoyao's voice.

He said indifferently, "I have something to do, I'll be leaving now."

Lu Zhi felt a slight tremor in her heart, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

They did not stop it.

It's always like this; as long as it's Shen Luoyao, even the smallest thing is more important than herself.

She still finds it hard to get used to it.

-

Fushouyuan is a good burial site chosen by a feng shui master. It is surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful and quiet scenery.

The only drawback is that it's relatively far away.

When Lu Zhi arrived, the sky was even darker, with thick clouds and a light drizzle.

She held up a black umbrella and glanced at the two graves.

I found that the table was covered with offerings, and the fruits such as oranges were still fresh, not wet from the rain, and not moldy. The dampness must have been from the recent placement of the offerings.

Besides Gu Yizhi, Lu Zhi couldn't think of anyone else.

My heart ached even more.

At first, he would accompany me to sweep the grave every year, but later he stopped coming.

Every year when Lu Zhi comes, the grave is clean as if it has been tended to.

In her past life, whenever Lu Zhi was hurt beyond repair and couldn't take it anymore, she would always think of this little thing.

She thought that Gu Yizhi probably still loved her.
