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

Each item was carefully selected by them.

"This is just a small token of our appreciation," Qin Nian said with a smile. "Don't worry, we won't let An'an suffer any injustice now that she's married into our family."

"We will also help her take care of the children, so she can go ahead and do what she wants."

Qiao An'an's tears fell.

She had many worries and concerns.

But I never expected everything to go so smoothly.

Everyone around her loves her.

Her future in-laws treated her like a treasure.

Her family offered their support and blessings.

She was carrying two babies in her belly, babies that both families were eagerly anticipating.

Happiness is so simple.

Qin Nian held Qiao An'an's hand and said, "From now on, we're family. If this brat dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll make sure he gets out of the Lu family."

Qiao An'an's eyes reddened slightly. "Thank you, Auntie."

Qin Nian nodded, "You are now the darling of the Lu family, and our chosen daughter-in-law, so don't cry."

Qiao An'an blushed, and tears kept falling.

Lu Yanzhi tenderly wiped away her tears, saying, "Don't cry."

Qiao An'an laughed through her tears, "I'm happy."

The marriage proposal went smoothly, and the two families set the engagement date. The wedding would be held in Yuncheng three days later, with relatives and friends invited. It would be simple and warm, but grand.

The wedding date was set for two months from now, by which time Qiao An'an's condition would be stable and her figure would no longer be noticeable.

Qin Nian repeatedly reminded the Lu family to finish their engagement ceremony here before returning to Yun.

"An'an, if anything happens, Yanzhi will take care of it. Take good care of yourself."

Lu Zhenbei, Lu's father, added, "From now on, the Lu family will be your support. Don't let yourself be wronged."

Qiao An'an nodded, "Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."

After seeing the Lu family off, the Qiao family of three sat in the living room.

Wen Tian couldn't help but smile as she looked at her daughter. "Mom was worried before that Yan Zhi's parents might not treat you well."

Now I see that the Lu family treats you well and cares about you. An'an, you will definitely be happy in the future.

Qiao Zhihua was also gratified.

"Yes, Yanzhi is responsible and has a strong sense of duty. He will humble himself for you and is willing to make sacrifices for you. Let's live a good life together from now on."

Qiao An'an leaned back on the sofa, her hand covering her breasts, her eyes filled with happiness.

She once thought that this relationship would have to go through many ups and downs.

But now she understands that Lu Yanzhi had thought of everything for her.

He gave himself confidence and protected himself from his unease.

No matter what, he always stood protectively in front of her.

Lu Yanzhi dropped his parents off at the hotel and then returned to the Qiao family home.

The Lu family began selecting a hotel and preparing for the engagement banquet.

Late at night, after finishing his work, Lu Yanzhi held Qiao An'an in his arms and asked gently, "Sweetie, what are you thinking about?"

"Ayan, I'm thinking, how lucky I am to have met you."

Qiao An'an, who was fickle and easily bored with him, said, "With you, with Mom and Dad, and with our two babies, I feel so happy."

Lu Yanzhi lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"I am so lucky, having you is my luck."

Qiao An'an leaned against him and closed her eyes.

The next day, the Lu family arrived early.

The parents of both sides are discussing the details of the engagement.

From the venue setup and the dishes to the entire process, the Lu family showed them ample respect.

The Lu family did not compromise and always prioritized the Qiao family's opinions.

Qin Nian doted on Qiao An'an as if she were her own daughter, bringing her snacks every day in different ways.

With just a glance from Qiao An'an, she would immediately have people prepare.

Seeing how much the Lu family cared for his daughter, Wen Tian's worries finally dissipated.

What everyone saw was how well Lu Yanzhi took care of Qiao An'an over the past three days.

He turned down all his work and stayed by Qiao An'an's side unless absolutely necessary, showing both the Qiao and Lu families that he truly lived a life of ease, with everything done for him.

Early in the morning, before dawn, Lu Yanzhi had already gotten up and tiptoed out of the bedroom.

The nutritionist has already prepared breakfast.

Lu Yanzhi carried the breakfast back to the bedroom.

Qiao An'an was already awake, yawning.

Lu Yanzhi carried her to wash up, then returned to the bedroom and began feeding her breakfast.

Qiao An'an opened her mouth to eat, her heart filled with happiness.

Throughout the meal, Qiao An'an didn't even lift her hand, and Lu Yanzhi fed her water.

Qiao An'an said helplessly, "Ayan, I feel like I've become a little good-for-nothing."

Lu Yanzhi lowered his head and kissed her lips. "I raised her, and I will raise her for the rest of my life."

What Wen Tian has been talking about most these past two days is...

"Yanzhi isn't taking care of his wife, he's raising a daughter."

Qin Nian laughed too, "My dear in-law, he's doomed to be in An'an's clutches for life."

Qiao An'an also complained about it privately.

"I've been spoiled rotten by Ayan."

Qiao Zhihua burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"That's Yan Zhi loving you, so just enjoy it."

That night, Lu Yanzhi pressed his hand against her belly and said, "Two babies, you can't bother Mommy, or Daddy will spank you when you're born."

These words made Qiao An'an both laugh and cry.

"They're too young to understand."

Lu Yanzhi is very serious.

"I read in a book that prenatal education is something that they can understand once they have a heartbeat. I tell them every day that I can't let them mess with you, or you'll get beaten up when you come out."

Hearing Lu Yanzhi's words, she couldn't help but laugh.

"How can you threaten the baby like that?"

Lu Zhiyao arrived the day before the engagement banquet.

As soon as Lu Zhiyao entered the Qiao family's house, her eyes lit up when she saw Qiao An'an sitting on the sofa.

He took a step and rushed towards her.

"An'an, I've missed you so much."

Lu Zhiyao lunged at her, but was pulled back by someone.

When Lu Zhiyao turned around and saw her father, Lu Yanzhi, she immediately froze, like a mouse seeing a cat.

Lu Yanzhi's tone was serious. "Lu Zhiyao, don't be so hasty. An'an is pregnant now, so take it slow."

Lu Zhiyao appeared obedient, but inwardly she thought: "Daddy's gone crazy. He's not being this spoiled. It's just a hug."

But that was just a thought; seeing how well they got along made her very happy.

That cold and aloof father can be so gentle.

Lu Zhiyao nodded, slowed her pace, and carefully sat down next to Qiao An'an. "An'an, I was too excited just now. Did I scare you?"

Qiao An'an looked at the father and daughter and smiled, "I'm fine, don't mind your dad, he's just too nervous."

Lu Yanzhi sat on the other side of Qiao An'an, protecting her.

"It's not that you're nervous, it's that you need to be careful. Your stepmother is carrying twins, so she has to be extra cautious."
