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

She hadn't been prepared before, fearing her parents wouldn't accept it.

But these past two days, seeing Lu Yanzhi taking care of her parents has given her courage.

Moreover, she is now pregnant...

Qiao An'an looked up and gazed at her mother with unwavering determination, her voice filled with conviction.

"Mom, I...I'm with Ayan."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her mother nervously, afraid that she would be opposed.

She was obedient from a young age and never did anything out of line.

This time, however, she fell in love with someone of extraordinary status. She was afraid of disappointing her parents and that they wouldn't be able to accept her.

Wen Tian wasn't surprised, but a mix of emotions welled up inside him again.

Seeing her daughter's nervous and frightened expression, she softened.

Her An'an has found someone she loves.

She had seen everything Lu Yanzhi had done these past two days.

The aloof CEO is gentle and attentive to her daughter, showering her with all his affection.

For the sake of her daughter, she mobilized all resources to save her husband, put aside all her work to prioritize her daughter, and took her home.

In her presence, he regarded himself as a junior.

She couldn't possibly be blind to such sincerity.

Wen Tian patted Qiao An'an's head. "Why didn't you tell your mother sooner?"

Qiao An'an was stunned by her mother's reaction.

There was no blame, nor was there any rejection.

Qiao An'an's tears welled up instantly.

Mom wasn't angry?

Looking at her daughter, Wen Tian smiled. "I've lived half my life, how could I not tell?"

"I've seen it all these past two days. He truly loves and cherishes you. He's mature, steady, and attentive to you. He also takes great care of me and your father."

"An'an, Mom doesn't care about anything else. Mom just wants to see you happy. As long as you've thought it through, Mom and Dad will respect your decision."

Qiao An'an couldn't help but cry.

Wen Tian stepped forward and hugged her.

"Your parents support your choice."

At this moment...

All the tension and fear disappeared.

Wen Tian patted her back.

"Don't cry, it's all in the past. Mom can tell he's someone I can entrust my life to, and he won't let you suffer."

To determine whether someone loves you or not, don't listen to what they say, but look at what they do.

Lu Yanzhi never mentioned love in his words, but everything he did proved his love.

Qiao An'an nodded happily.

She knew that she had made the right choice.

Lu Yanzhi, who was around the corner, overheard every word of the mother and daughter's conversation.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

He knew that his efforts had not been in vain.

He can now openly and honestly protect her.

Lu Yanzhi walked out and stood there watching them.

As Qiao An'an stepped out of her mother's arms, she looked up and saw Lu Yanzhi standing there, his eyes filled with love.

Qiao An'an walked towards him.

This time, he did not back down.

Lu Yanzhi also lifted his foot and walked towards her.

Under Wen Tian's gaze, he firmly held Qiao An'an's heart and looked at Wen Tian.

In a solemn tone, she said, "Auntie, due to this unexpected situation, I was worried about leaving An'an alone, so I accompanied her back. Please forgive me for any shortcomings in our etiquette."

"I originally planned to choose a date for a formal visit, but things happened suddenly, which disrupted my plans."

As Lu Yanzhi spoke, he looked at Qiao An'an beside him, and then at Wen Tian.

"Auntie, my feelings for An'an are genuine. I want to spend the rest of my life with An'an, so I plan to bring my family elders to propose marriage after Uncle is discharged from the hospital. I will marry An'an in a grand and respectable manner."

His tone was sincere and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

In his heart, he only recognized Qiao An'an as his wife.

She wished she could marry Qiao An'an right now, make her her Mrs. Lu, and never let her suffer any more grievances.

Wen Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard his words.

She was very satisfied with Lu Yanzhi.

But to my surprise, Lu Yanzhi was so direct.

They decided to propose marriage so quickly, and even thought about their previous marriage.

In her view, once the relationship is established, it's not too late to get married after getting along well and the feelings are stable.

But to propose marriage and get married now, isn't that too fast?

Wen Tian looked at his daughter, and at the way she looked at Lu Yanzhi…

She smiled with relief.

"Yanzhi, you are very good, I have seen it all these days, but this marriage proposal is too fast, let's not rush it."

She earnestly advised, "You two have just gotten together, so enjoy your time as a couple and work things out with each other. Marriage is a major life event."

"Don't rush things. Wait until you understand each other well and your relationship is stable before talking about marriage."

Upon hearing this...

A look of disappointment flashed in Lu Yanzhi's eyes.

But he knew that marriage involved two families, not just him, and he respected his elders' opinions.

He didn't want to put Qiao An'an in a difficult position.

Wen Tian's approval is already a great thing.

As for the rest, he is patient; he can wait.

Lu Yanzhi nodded, "I was inconsiderate. I will listen to you and Uncle and take good care of An'an."

But Qiao An'an, who was standing to the side, panicked.

My whole body tensed up.

Others can be in no hurry, but she can't!

She has a secret too!

The secret she's hiding could be the talk of the town.

It's not obvious now, but what if the pregnancy progresses...

But if she were to say it now, her mother would definitely feel uncomfortable...

What's more troublesome is that Lu Yanzhi doesn't know this yet. Given Lu Yanzhi's personality, if he knew she was pregnant, he would definitely want to marry her immediately.

What should we do now?

How is she supposed to explain this?

Qiao An'an became increasingly panicked the more she thought about it.

No.

She had to tell her mother about her pregnancy; she couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

but……

After thinking for a long time, Qiao An'an looked at Lu Yanzhi and said, "Yanzhi, I want to eat wontons. Can you go and buy some for me?"

Lu Yanzhi looked at her with gentle eyes, "Okay, I'll go now, wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he looked at Wen Tian and said, "Auntie, I'm going out for a bit. Could you please take care of An'an for me?"

Wen Tian smiled and nodded, "Don't worry."

Lu Yanzhi then turned and left to buy wontons.

Watching Lu Yanzhi's figure disappear into the distance, Qiao An'an breathed a sigh of relief.

But when she turned around, she met her mother's eyes, her face immediately turned red, and she nervously clenched her hands together.

Seeing his daughter's panicked expression, Wen Tian's heart skipped a beat.

She asked, "An'an, is there something you want to tell me?"

Ji An'an looked up at her mother, flustered and uneasy, but this matter could not be kept secret.

She took a deep breath. "Mom...I...I have something to say..."

Wen Tian had a bad feeling, but seeing Qiao An'an's nervous look, she quickly reassured her, "Don't be nervous, tell me slowly, Mom is here!"

Qiao An'an's tears fell, and she stammered, "Mom...I...I'm pregnant..."

Wen Tian was stunned, her face filled with shock.

She stared blankly at her daughter, unable to react.

"What did you say?"

Wen Tian suspected he was hallucinating.

"I...I'm pregnant..."
