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

"It's okay."

Suddenly, Lu Yanzhi spoke, his voice deep and hoarse, his breathing heavier.

Her hand had just set things ablaze, and Lu Yanzhi felt an unbearable heat rising within him.

He softened his tone, "Take your time washing, no rush."

Qiao An'an prepared herself mentally, calmed down, and washed again.

This time she was careful, trying her best not to touch the man's skin.

The bathroom was small and filled with steam. The two got closer and closer until they could smell each other's faint fragrance.

Qiao An'an looked around but couldn't find any tools to lather up the shower gel. How was she supposed to wash it off?

She used her hand...

Qiao An'an dared not think about it.

But considering Lu Yanzhi's obsession with cleanliness, it might not be possible without using shower gel.

Qiao An'an was torn between her conscience and her will.

Suddenly, Lu Yanzhi reminded him.

"Sweetie, it's time to wash with shower gel."

The blush on Qiao An'an's face never faded.

But looking at the man's indifferent expression...

Forget it, if Lu Yanzhi doesn't take it seriously, why should she be afraid?

Anyway, she won't lose out, and she can even get her hands dirty.

Qiao An'an squeezed out some shower gel, bent down slightly, and began to wash Lu Yanzhi.

Starting from her neck, the burning sensation made Qiao An'an instinctively want to run away.

Lu Yanzhi's body temperature is way too high.

Just as she couldn't take it anymore and wanted to pull away, Lu Yanzhi suddenly turned around to face her, and Qiao An'an's hand landed directly on his chest.

The man suddenly faced him, his chest right in front of him, his well-defined abdominal muscles making him irresistibly want to touch him.

Qiao An'an nervously looked away.

"Sweetie, you have to help me wash myself clean, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

Lu Yanzhi's voice rang in her ears, deep and husky with an ambiguous tone, his warm breath falling on Qiao An'an's cheek.

Qiao An'an stood there, stunned, and blinked.

After regaining her senses, Qiao An'an cursed inwardly: "Demon!"

Immediately afterwards, she closed her eyes and began applying shower gel to Lu Yanzhi's body with both hands, wanting to finish washing quickly.

But every time she applied the ointment, she could feel the strength of the man's muscles, and every inch of his skin was so hot that her legs went weak.

Lu Yanzhi knew she was nervous, especially seeing her flustered and shy appearance. Helpless, he didn't dare tease her anymore and sat down to let her wash.

But as that delicate hand continued to roam over his body, Lu Yanzhi's breathing became increasingly heavy, and the tenderness in his eyes became ambiguous.

In order not to scare her away, he had to endure it.

Qiao An'an thought it was enough and quickly used the showerhead to rinse the water.

"I'm...I'm done washing."

After Qiao An'an finished showering, she quickly turned off the shower, backed away, lowered her head, breathed heavily, her face was hot, and her eyes darted away, not daring to look at the man.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her, his smile deepening, his voice hoarser and deeper than before, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No...it's nothing, I'll go out now."

After saying that, Qiao An'an rushed out of the bathroom as if she were escaping.

Lu Yanzhi stood there, looking up at the closed bathroom door, unable to suppress the smile in his eyes.

The sight of Qiao An'an's flushed face and trembling hands just now made him feel restless and aroused.

"So easily embarrassed."

Lu Yanzhi's tone was full of doting and tenderness.

He could sense Qiao An'an's panic and helplessness, so he dared not tease her any further.

Just now, when he turned around, he almost couldn't resist taking her right there and then.

But he knew it would frighten her, so he held back.

"Luckily, I managed to hold back."

"Take your time, you'll be willing."

Lu Yan's voice contained gentleness, joy, and determination.

You have to be patient with Qiao An'an and slowly get her to accept you.

Qiao An'an, who rushed out of the bathroom, didn't dare to linger and went straight back to her room.

He closed the door, clutched his chest, gasped for breath, his face flushed crimson, even his neck was red.

The thought of the feel of her skin when she washed with shower gel, the warmth of the gel on her skin, brought back vivid images of her eye contact with the man in the bathroom...

The sight of water droplets sliding down the man's chest, the electric shock that shot through her body and made her legs go weak wherever her hand touched—her heart was pounding like lightning.

She suddenly woke up. What was she thinking?

Qiao An'an covered her face with her hands.

"What did I just do...?"

Qiao An'an felt remorseful.

How could she agree to help Lu Yanzhi take a bath?

what! ! !

But she quickly regained her composure and began to worry.

Did she hurt him just now?

But the look in his eyes afterwards...

Qiao An'an became increasingly flustered as she thought about it, feeling a strange and inexplicable feeling in her heart.

In the quiet room, she could hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

Her legs went weak, and she walked to the sofa and lay down, feeling flustered and uneasy. From now on, she would be living with Lu Yanzhi.

She felt a mix of fear and trepidation, yet also a sliver of anticipation, knowing they might meet every day.

"Don't agree to help him take a bath next time, it's so embarrassing..." Qiao An'an was exasperated.

But the more she did this, the more the drawing she had just done appeared in her mind, and she didn't realize that her inner defenses seemed to be weakening.

Lost in thought, Qiao An'an fell asleep.

When Qiao An'an woke up the next day, she found herself in bed, and her clothes had been changed into pajamas.

That's not right.

She fell asleep on the sofa yesterday. She was so tired that she didn't shower and fell asleep while lying on the sofa thinking.

Could Lu Yanzhi have changed these clothes?

Thinking about it made me wide awake, no matter how sleepy I was.

She's insane! How could that be!

Lu Yanzhi injured her shoulder and needed help even to take a bath. How could you change her clothes and carry her to bed?

That's impossible.

After thinking it over, it must have been Wang Ma who made it.

Soon, Qiao An'an stopped worrying. She had to get up early; she had to report for duty today and couldn't be late.

She quickly got up to wash up.

Qiao An'an has good skin; she only applied some BB cream and then some lip gloss.

After getting ready, Qiao An'an grabbed her bag and hurried downstairs.

She had to hurry out the door, or she would miss the bus.

She rushed to the door as soon as she went downstairs.

From the moment he heard the footsteps, Lu Yanzhi's gaze fell on her.

Just as Qiao An'an was about to change her shoes, she heard a man's voice.

"Where are you going so early?"

Qiao An'an turned her head and saw that the man was leaning lazily against the edge of the living room corridor, his broad shoulders and narrow waist clearly outlined.

He was wearing a handmade shirt with three buttons undone at the collar, revealing glimpses of his tanned chest muscles.

The man's deep eyes were fixed on her, making him impossible to ignore.

"Uncle Lu."

Qiao An'an blushed subconsciously and took two steps back.

"I'm going to do an internship."

"Let's have breakfast together."

Lu Yanzhi gestured for her to go to the restaurant together.

Qiao An'an nodded.

When she arrived at the restaurant, there were two breakfasts on the table, both of which were her favorites.

Qiao An'an glanced at the profile of the man sitting next to her, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

but……

She glanced at the time; she should have enough time.

So he sat down, picked up his bowl, and wanted to eat quickly.

Eat slowly.

The man picked up a fried egg and put it in her bowl.

Qiao An'an felt inexplicably flustered. "I need to catch the bus, or I'll be late."

She wouldn't be late if she didn't eat breakfast.

Lu Yanzhi said slowly and deliberately, "I'll take you."

"Cough~ cough~"

Qiao An'an choked and started coughing.

It's a bit scary when it comes to men.

Lu Yanzhi quickly put down his chopsticks and gently patted her back. "Eat slowly, no rush. I'll take you there so you won't be late."

Qiao An'an recovered and looked at him in surprise.

Is he going to take her?

However, her internship was a bit far from his company.
