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

Until he experienced a tragic end, he told Lu Zhi that it was all a figment of his imagination.

However, she overlooked the fact that Gu Yizhi was the young master of Shengcheng, and such a small matter could be easily entrusted to anyone.

It's worthless.

Lu Zhi buttoned up the cuffs of her clothes, arranged the flowers and offerings, and lit two sticks of incense.

She once had a happy family.

His parents loved each other and were both only children.

After his mother, Qi Luo, died in a car accident, his father, Lu Zhengyan, was overcome with grief and soon passed away.

From then on, the two families had no further contact.

They accused each other of harming their children, and their relationship fell apart as they pursued their own interests.

Even the burials were separate.

They shared the same bed in life, but were buried in different graves in death.

With this, besides losing her parents, Lu Zhi lost all her other family ties, leaving her all alone.

In adversity, Gu Yizhi was the only piece of driftwood she could grasp.

Both were sons-in-law whom their parents were satisfied with before they passed away.

Unfortunately, it was just a fleeting moment.

In his past life, he ultimately chose Shen Luoyao.

She should move on and not dwell on the past forever.

-

As she left the grave, the sky cleared, and a breeze swept by, as if approving of her actions.

Out of a clear sense of gratitude and resentment.

Lu Zhi found the cemetery manager, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for helping to clean the tombstones and pay respects all these years."

Administrator Xiao Zhao was taken aback for a moment, "We only do routine maintenance and cleaning. We only do rituals if the employer requests them."

"You've got it wrong. Mr. Gu hasn't come here in recent years."

Lu Zhi's eyes widened in surprise, and her voice trembled involuntarily. "Who is that?"

She was moved for many years.

It was a mistake?

"That man was quite young and good-looking, and he seemed to drive a luxury car." Xiao Zhao glanced upwards, as if recalling something. "But don't worry, he always comes to sweep the grave in person."

Lu Zhi stood there, stunned.

Perhaps it was a friend entrusted by Gu Yizhi?

After going through all the faces that came to mind, it was difficult to match them with the real names.

"I was curious before too," Xiao Zhao slapped his forehead. "It seems they were here to repay the kindness they received from the Lu family's parents."

Lu Zhi lowered his head.

They worship every year; what immense gratitude they must have received.

However, my parents were generous when they were young and sponsored many poor students to receive an education, so maybe I was one of them.

Xiao Zhao suggested, "How about I ask him about his identity next time he comes?"

Lu Zhi: "No need."

Now that you've decided to move forward, stop dwelling on these things.

Sunlight shone on Lu Zhi, giving her a sense of freedom.

-

Returning to Chengyuan from Fushouyuan, Lu Zhi felt a lingering sense of loss.

He has no interest in anything else.

After wiping the glass, Wang Ma whispered a reminder: "Madam, there are invitations on the table. Take a look."

Lu Zhi reached out and picked it up.

The cover is extremely beautiful, with a hollowed-out butterfly on it, sealed with gold wax, and stamped on a flower seal.

She was so close that she could even smell a faint fragrance.

You can tell what the organizers are thinking.

It was an invitation to the Xu family's wedding banquet.

Lu Zhi's eyes were glazed over, her heart ached so much she could hardly breathe, and her memories kept drifting back to her wedding banquet years ago.

Jiang Xing, the mother-in-law, said that since she had just lost her parents, it was not appropriate to have a big celebration, so everything was handled simply, and they didn't even register their marriage privately.

At the time, she thought it was thoughtful.

The wedding cost only tens of thousands of yuan in total, with the rest sponsored by brands.

This might be fine for ordinary couples, but the Gu family is a wealthy and powerful family.

This is such a stingy act.

It's obvious they're trying to embarrass themselves.

After all, she loved Gu Yizhi, and being blinded by a single leaf, she naturally couldn't see it.

The wedding I had always dreamed of.

It's full of regrets.

A burst of intense sunlight pierced into Lu Zhi's pupils, bringing her back to her senses, though the color of her eyes was much darker.

The Gu family and the Xu family are on good terms, and elders from both families will be attending this party.

Lu Zhi was not spared either.

The dinner is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Preparations need to be made in advance.

After a quick shower, Lu Zhi hired a makeup artist to come to her home to do her makeup.

Xiao Qin was very efficient; in just half an hour, she had almost finished, concealing her tired dark circles and the bulging veins on her neck...

Apply the last layer of loose powder.

Xiao Qin asked, "What about the outfit and the bag?"

Lu Zhi glanced at the wardrobe. "Let's go with that Hermes orange one."

Xiao Qin kindly reminded her, "Black will be more expensive, and it will match your style better."

Lu Zhi shook her head.

In the end, I stuck with the orange bag.

Gu Yizhi never mistreated her in terms of food, clothing, or daily necessities.

Luxury stores even send you the latest models every year.

But when she thought about the gift he gave her, Shen Luoyao would always have the same style, and the probability of the two wearing the same clothes was extremely high, making it hard to tell who was the substitute.

Lu Zhi felt uncomfortable if she dressed up as Shen Luoyao.

The gifts that Gu's mother occasionally gave as a formality were always in gray, black, and white.

Showing off is absolutely not allowed.

They're all disgusting.

"Just take that simple necklace." Not wanting to be associated with the Gu family anymore, Lu Zhi picked out the one she had bought herself from the cabinet.

After the makeup and styling were completed, Lu Zhi looked much younger.

After all the trouble and effort, she was actually quite hungry. Lu Zhi saw Xiao Qin off.

I was just about to go to the living room to get something to eat.

Before she knew it, she bumped into a solid chest, and along with it came the intoxicating smell of alcohol emanating from Gu Yizhi.

The scent also carried a nauseating rose fragrance.

He must have drunk with Shen Luoyao, since she really likes roses.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhi is allergic to roses.

She could keenly sense even the slightest hint of a presence.

Not long after we made contact, a large area of ​​her snow-white skin turned red.

Lu Zhi quickly shrank back several steps, but the man called out to her, "Stop."

I don't want to argue with a drunkard.

She pretended not to hear and quietly quickened her pace, preparing to leave.

The man pressed closer and closer.

The two got closer, and Lu Zhi panicked for a moment, twisted her ankle, lost her balance, and was about to fall.

Lu Zhi deliberately turned her body away, not wanting to bump into him.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yizhi took the initiative to pull her into his arms, and even leaned in to kiss her.

Lu Zhi's face turned pale.

She was probably drunk and mistook herself for Shen Luoyao.

Lu Zhi grabbed his sleeve. "Can you see who I am?"

"Lu Zhi, my wife."

After rambling incoherently.

The man's embrace tightened.

Lu Zhi's lonely heart skipped a beat after a long time.

She could smell another woman's perfume, and her brow furrowed slightly.

Today is the anniversary of her parents' death, but Gu Yizhi is messing around with another woman and even calling her his wife.

How ridiculous!

"Your girlfriend, Shen Luoyao," Lu Zhi reminded her, turning her head to the side.

These words acted like a trigger, striking a nerve with Gu Yizhi. He smirked and explained, "It's nothing, just a pet."

"You are my wife."

Lu Zhi frowned.

Just how much alcohol did they drink?

They've all lost their minds.

Staring at the deep affection in his eyes, Lu Zhi was momentarily stunned.

If only he really considered me his girlfriend, what a pity.

In their past life, she and Shen Luoyao were both struck by a spotlight, and he was willing to risk his own life to save Shen Luoyao.
