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

"It's okay now." The doctor's voice brought Qiao An'an back to her senses.

Her face flushed red instantly.

Qiao An'an gently supported Lu Yanzhi's injured shoulder and said softly, "Uncle Lu, let me treat you to some sweet soup. Thank you for protecting me just now."

Lu Yanzhi smiled and said, "Okay."

He then added, "Being with me means that treating me to meals is my job, and protecting you is also my responsibility."

After walking for ten minutes, Qiao An'an led Lu Yanzhi to the dessert shop that she and Lu Zhiyao both loved to visit.

The shop was filled with the sweet aroma of syrup.

After the two sat down, Qiao An'an, concerned about his injury, asked him what he wanted to eat and told him to be direct.

Then I took out my phone and started looking up relevant information, and processed the information as well.

It was sent by my mother, and also by Lu Zhiyao.

Qiao An'an opened the message her mother sent first; her mother said it would arrive at four o'clock in the afternoon.

She replied "okay" and told her mother she would pick her up.

When she saw Lu Zhiyao's message, she subconsciously felt guilty and glanced at Lu Yanzhi across from her.

I opened the message only after I had mentally prepared myself.

Lu Zhiyao said that training would end very late tonight, so I took advantage of this break to send her a message complaining that the teachers were inhuman!

Qiao An'an also told Lu Zhiyao about what happened in the ward today.

The moment the message was sent, her phone suddenly popped up a video call request.

Lu Zhiyao!

Instantly, Qiao An'an was so frightened that she froze, almost throwing her phone away.

She hung up hastily and quickly replied with a message.

【Yaoyao, I'm out right now, I'll call you back later.】

Lu Zhiyao replied: 【Okay.】

Qiao An'an breathed a sigh of relief and put her phone away.

Lu Yanzhi kept watching Qiao An'an, observing her transformation from happiness to anxiety, and then to silence. He found her lively and unpredictable expressions quite endearing.

The sweet soup was served quickly, and Qiao An'an stared at the white fungus soup in front of her, somewhat lost in thought.

It seems that she didn't mention what her favorite dishes were for lunch, but he knew.

Even sugar water?

On second thought, she realized it might have been Lu Zhiyao who said it, so she didn't think much of it.

Lu Yanzhi happened to have injured his right shoulder, so he could only eat with his left hand, which was still inconvenient.

Qiao An'an got up, sat down next to Lu Yanzhi, picked up the bowl, and fed the man with a spoon.

"Uncle Lu, please try this. The sweet soup here is delicious."

Lu Yanzhi was taken aback when he saw Qiao An'an feeding him, and stared at her bright eyes.

Without hesitation, he lowered his head and took a sip.

The sweetness spread in his mouth; it was the best sugar water he had ever tasted.

He drank the sugar water, looking at the little girl feeding him with a shy expression, and felt very satisfied.

After drinking the sugar water, Lu Yanzhi felt that there was no need to go to the hospital, as it was a minor injury.

Qiao An'an's expression left no room for refusal. "No, we have to go to the hospital. The doctor just said that his equipment isn't complete. That vase is not only broken, but it's also heavy. We need to check if there's anything wrong with the bones."

As she spoke, she took out her phone and called a taxi, "I'll go now, I'll call a taxi."

Seeing that she was worried about him, Lu Yanzhi did not stop her.

"The driver will come to pick up the car in a bit, so there's no need to call one."

Qiao An'an nodded and put her phone away.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her and said, "Do you have something to do later? I'll have the driver take you to take care of your business first."

Qiao An'an glanced at the time, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go to the hospital with you for a checkup."

It's 2 PM now. My parents will arrive at 4 PM. I'll go to the hospital now, and after everything is done, I'll pick them up. It shouldn't be too late.

No matter what, Lu Yanzhi was injured because of her, and she could only feel at ease after watching him finish his examination and confirming that his bones were okay.

Looking at the seriousness in her eyes, and recalling how nervous and worried she looked when her wound was being treated, Lu Yanzhi felt his heart melt completely.

"Okay, the driver will be there soon."

Lu Yanzhi raised his hand to tidy her wind-blown hair, his fingertips gently stroking her cheek, carrying a hint of coolness.

"It's too sunny here, let's wait inside the store."

Qiao An'an's face flushed at his sudden action. She suddenly realized that she hadn't resisted his approach just now.

This realization made Qiao An'an feel a little flustered, but she still obediently followed Lu Yanzhi into the store.

Not long after, a black car pulled up outside the store.

Lu Yanzhi took Qiao An'an's hand and walked out of the store.

The driver immediately got out of the car and respectfully opened the rear door. "Sir!"

Lu Yanzhi helped Qiao An'an into the car before getting in himself.

After getting into the car, Qiao An'an looked at his injured area. "Uncle Lu, won't you aggravate your shoulder injury like this? Should you support yourself a little?"

"It doesn't hurt," Lu Yanzhi reassured her gently. "Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt at all."

Then he instructed the driver, "Go to the nearest hospital."

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the hospital, and Qiao An'an was anxious.

While in the car, Qiao An'an was very careful, afraid that Lu Yanzhi might accidentally aggravate his wound.

Lu Yanzhi felt a surge of warmth as he looked at Qiao An'an, who was worried and concerned about him.

After getting out of the car, Qiao An'an quickly went to his side and took his hand, saying, "Uncle Lu, let me help you."

Lu Yanzhi let her support him, but slowed his pace.

The driver, seeing this from behind, rubbed his eyes as if he'd seen a ghost, making sure he wasn't mistaken.

This Miss Qiao An'an is the young lady's good friend. She's usually someone who keeps her head down and doesn't dare to breathe loudly when she sees the master. How come she suddenly...?

Qiao An'an helped Lu Yanzhi into the emergency building.

"Uncle Lu, please sit down for a moment. Give me your ID, and I'll go queue up to register."

Lu Yanzhi wanted to say no, this is a hospital under their Lu Group, there's no need to register or queue, but the words changed as soon as they were on the tip of his tongue.

"it is good."

He handed his ID card to Qiao An'an and watched her jog to the window to queue up and register.

There weren't many people, and Qiao An'an quickly got a number.

Just then, the driver parked the car and came over. As soon as he entered, he saw Lu Yanzhi sitting there waiting, and he quickly went over to him.

"Sir, everything is arranged. You can go see the doctor now."

Lu Yanzhi shook his head, "No need to make arrangements."

His darling has already made arrangements for him; he just needs to listen to her.

The driver looked completely bewildered.

Sir, this is...

A moment later, he saw Qiao An'an running over with the number, and something suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Uncle Lu, it'll be your turn soon."

Qiao An'an held the number and looked intently at the screen displaying the number being called.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her with a smile on his face, showing no signs of impatience about having to wait in line.

Qiao An'an turned to look at him and saw that he was frowning. She immediately became tense. "Does it hurt a lot?"

Lu Yanzhi shook his head.
