I married my best friend's dad in a whirlwind romance, only to find out he'd secretly love

Ning Xiaoyuan was holding some snacks and milk tea.

"An'an".

"I brought you some snacks and milk tea."

Seeing the seemingly harmless smile in front of her, Qiao An'an's expression changed instantly. She quickly stood up and subconsciously took a step back.

"Dr. Ning, no need, I don't need these."

Qiao An'an's tone was distant.

But Ning Xiaoyuan pretended not to hear and took two steps forward.

Qiao An'an's face stiffened, and she immediately stepped back.

"Dr. Ning, I don't know you well, please have some self-respect!"

Ning Xiaoyuan wasn't angry; instead, he became even gentler.

"An'an. Lu Yanzhi is the president, he's very busy. I'm different, I can take better care of you."

"I can appear immediately if you want me to. Lu Yanzhi has his own business empire and can't stay by your side, but I can."

Ning Xiaoyuan approached step by step.

Qiao An'an got angry when she heard his words. She looked at Ning Xiaoyuan and spoke firmly.

"Dr. Ning, it's impossible for us to be together."

"Ayan is busy, but he always puts me first. His time is mine whenever I want, and he remembers all my habits and preferences."

"What you said is not true. I'll say it again: the person I love is Lu Yanzhi, and he is the only one I will ever love in this life."

Her words were like a resounding slap in Ning Xiaoyuan's face.

Ning Xiaoyuan's eyes turned sinister.

next second.

A clear, cold voice rang out.

"Ning Xiaoyuan, you're asking for death!"

Lu Yanzhi had just returned from the phone call when he saw Ning Xiaoyuan and overheard what had just been said.

He strode forward, pulled Qiao An'an into his arms, and stared intently at Ning Xiaoyuan, his gaze as sharp as an ice blade.

"Ning Xiaoyuan, my people are not for you to teach."

Lu Yanzhi's tone was laced with hostility.

"Trying to sow discord while I was away?"

Ning Xiaoyuan's expression was provocative, but he said gently, "I was just concerned, after all, you're so busy."

"Is that so?" Lu Yanzhi sneered. "Anyone can see through your filthy thoughts."

Ning Xiaoyuan laughed.

"Why is Mr. Lu angry? Is it because you're afraid An'an won't want you anymore? It seems that even the decisive Mr. Lu isn't omnipotent."

Lu Yanzhi's expression grew even colder.

He was afraid, but he couldn't let anyone see it.

At this time.

Qiao An'an stepped out of Lu Yanzhi's arms, stood in front of him, and glared angrily at Ning Xiaoyuan.

"Dr. Ning, I'll say it again, I only recognize Lu Yanzhi in my life. Even without him, there would be no possibility between us."

Lu Yanzhi looked down at Qiao An'an, who was protecting him, and his heart melted.

He obediently chose him, so what does he have to be afraid of!

Once Lu Yanzhi understood, he was no longer afraid.

He stepped forward and pulled Qiao An'an into his arms, then looked at Ning Xiaoyuan.

"Ning Xiaoyuan, you're too clever for your own good. You think you can succeed by stirring things up with a few words? You're overestimating yourself."

Colleagues arrived nearby and gathered to watch the spectacle.

Everyone could see that Ning Xiaoyuan was deliberately trying to sow discord.

Knowing full well that Qiao An'an was already with President Lu, she still came to provoke him.

But Mr. Lu's domineering way of protecting his wife is so cool.

The surrounding whispers reached Ning Xiaoyuan's ears, and his expression changed.

Ning Xiaoyuan could not conceal the sinister intent and hatred in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yanzhi didn't give him any face at all.

This time, he lost.

He looked at Qiao An'an leaning against Lu Yanzhi, her eyes filled with love as she looked at Lu Yanzhi.

Seeing how Lu Yanzhi was protecting her, jealousy took root in her heart and grew wildly.

But he knew he had no chance of winning.

She knew that if she stayed any longer, she would only feel more embarrassed.

He clenched his fists, a gentle smile returning to his face, but his eyes were sinister.

"An'an, I won't give up. I believe that one day you will choose me again."

After saying that, Ning Xiaoyuan turned and left.

Lu Yanzhi looked down at Qiao An'an.

"Goodness, I really want to hide you away, otherwise someone will always have designs on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down and picked her up in his arms.

Qiao An'an exclaimed in surprise and quickly hugged his neck.

Lu Yanzhi carried her and walked towards the sea-view room without looking back.

An hour later.

Lu Yanzhi held Qiao An'an on the sofa, the jealousy in his eyes refusing to dissipate.

He knew that someone like Ning Xiaoyuan would continue to pester him.

He would no longer give Ning Xiaoyuan the opportunity to disturb their lives.

Lu Yanzhi looked at the sleeping person, got up and walked to the balcony, took out his phone and made a call.

As soon as the call connected, Lu Yanzhi turned around and glanced at the person who was still fast asleep on the sofa, his tone cold.

"Think of a way to get rid of them and prevent them from finding fault with you."

"Now, we need to get him out of here immediately."

With just two sentences, Ning Xiaoyuan was already out of the game.

He didn't use power to oppress, but rather used an irresistible method to force people out of the game.

After hanging up the phone.

Lu Yanzhi returned to the sofa and hugged Qiao An'an again.

Qiao An'an turned over, nestled on his chest, and continued sleeping.

What she didn't know was that her man had already cleaned up all the troubles around her.

Lu Yanzhi kissed her forehead.

Qiao An'an muttered something under her breath.

Where did you just go?

Lu Yanzhi smiled gently, "I took a phone call."

At that very moment, Ning Xiaoyuan was standing on the beach, answering a phone call. His face was grim as he listened to what was being said on the other end.

The hospital requires him to return immediately; there is a medical discussion meeting that is very important and urgent.

He couldn't refuse.

How could Ning Xiaoyuan not know that this was Lu Yanzhi's doing?

If I insist on keeping her here, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see her again.

"Okay, I'll go back now."

Ning Xiaoyuan gritted his teeth and hung up the phone.

He lost, he lost completely.

Ning Xiaoyuan turned around and looked at the terrace of Lu Yanzhi and Qiao An'an's room.

Lu Yanzhi, will you make me give up if you keep doing this?

I will not give up!

"Qiao An'an, you are mine."

Ning Xiaoyuan returned to his room, packed his things, and left.

Lu Yanzhi received the call and learned that he had left, and breathed a sigh of relief.

They're finally gone; no one will bother them anymore.

He looked down at the sleepy Qiao An'an, his eyes gentle.

"Ah Yan, you seem to be in a good mood?"

Lu Yanzhi listened to her words and nodded.

"No one will bother us anymore."

Qiao An'an was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. She was somewhat surprised, "Dr. Ning is gone?"

"Um."

Lu Yanzhi readily admitted, "I've said it before, you're mine."

He didn't say how he made her leave; he just wanted her to know that with him around, she would live a peaceful life.

Qiao An'an reached out and hugged his neck, then kissed his lips.

"Ayan, thank you."

He always protected me like this, keeping the wind and rain out.

Lu Yanzhi froze for a second, then took the initiative and deepened the kiss.

After a long while, Lu Yanzhi finally released her.

"You're welcome. Protecting you is something I should do in this life."

All the anxiety was swept away.
