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

They exchanged a glance.

Neither of them spoke.

The man continued, "There are a lot of people today; the place is full."

Qiao An'an glanced around and realized that they weren't the only ones with available seats.

Su Anwei spoke up. "Sit down if you want, there are no names on the table."

"Thanks."

After the man sat down, his gaze remained fixed on Qiao An'an.

Qiao An'an felt uneasy under Su Anwei's gaze and tugged at her clothes under the table for help.

Su Anwei glanced at her, then looked at the man sitting opposite her. Seeing his gaze, she asked, "Do you know our An'an?"

"We've met once."

The man smiled.

Upon hearing this, Qiao An'an frowned.

Just then, the man said with a smile.

"Qiao An'an, it's been a long time."

Qiao An'an looked at him with a puzzled expression.

She doesn't remember having such a classmate!

Su Anwei was also a little confused. She asked softly, "An'an, you really don't know her?"

Qiao An'an shook her head.

She genuinely doesn't remember knowing this person.

The man introduced himself with a smile.

"My name is Qin Yuhao. I spoke as a student representative at your freshman welcome party. You can sit in the first row."

When he said that, Qiao An'an seemed to remember that there was such a thing.

But she really didn't remember this person.

Qiao An'an smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, I don't remember."

"It's okay, you're freshmen, we'll graduate soon." Qin Yuhao wasn't angry at all.

He knew very well how excited he was to meet Qiao An'an again.

"I never imagined we'd end up working at the same company," Qin Yuhao said, trying to start a conversation. "Are you in the design department now?"

Qiao An'an nodded.

"I'm in the planning department," Qin Yuhao said with a smile.

"Wow, that's amazing! They're elites!" Su Anwei's eyes lit up instantly.

"We're all just ordinary people. Is this beautiful lady also from the design department?" Qin Yuhao asked Su Anwei.

"My name is Su Anwei, and I'm also the senior teacher in charge of taking care of An'an." Su Anwei deliberately said that she was old.

"But then again, what a coincidence this world is."

As she spoke, Su Anwei's gaze shifted between Qiao An'an and Qin Yuhao, seemingly lost in thought.

Qiao An'an was helpless.

Sure enough, the fun for people in the workplace is watching the drama unfold.

Qin Yuhao looked at Qiao An'an with a smile in his eyes, "This is fate."

Qiao An'an felt embarrassed and lowered her head to eat her meal.

Seeing that Qiao An'an didn't mention Qing, Qin Yuhao didn't say anything more either.

Only Su Anwei looked curious and chatted with Qin Yuhao from time to time.

Under Qin Yuhao's watchful gaze, Qiao An'an finally finished her meal.

"I'm finished eating, you guys take your time."

He had just finished speaking.

Su Anwei also stood up and said, "I'm done eating too, An'an, I'll take you to put your things away."

Qiao An'an quickly followed Su Anwei.

Seeing Qiao An'an avoiding him, Qin Yuhao felt somewhat disappointed.

He fell in love with Qiao An'an at first sight after the freshman welcome party.

Just when he was ready to make his move after his job stabilized, he heard that Qiao An'an had a boyfriend who was better off than him.

He had no choice but to endure and back down.

I never expected to run into Qiao An'an here.

The moment he saw Qiao An'an, his heart stirred again, and he could no longer contain himself.

He realized that he had never forgotten her.

He wanted to fight for it.

Now, he has the resources to try and fight for it.

I'll ensure my loved one is safe and sound; he'll be fine.

So what if she has a boyfriend? As long as they're not married, he still has a chance, right?

With this in mind, Qin Yuhao gained confidence and stepped forward to ask to share a table.

Just as Qiao An'an was about to leave the cafeteria, Qin Yuhao stepped forward and called her back.

"An'an!"

Qiao An'an paused in her steps.

She turned around helplessly and looked at the other person. "Senior, is something the matter?"

"What a coincidence that we work at the same company! Can we add each other as friends?"

Qiao An'an was conflicted. She had just started working at the company and it was her first day. If she refused, she was afraid that she would have trouble getting along with her colleagues in the future.

She had no choice but to nod, take out her phone, and scan the friend's QR code.

A look of joy flashed across Qin Yuhao's face when he saw his friend accept the request.

Immediately afterwards, Su Anwei smiled and said.

"Should I reply to your friend request?"

Qin Yuhao laughed, "Of course I want to."

Su Anwei's eyes lit up; this was a chance to meet elites!

Qiao An'an breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to become everyone's gossip subject.

Su Anwei also added Qiao An'an as a friend.

Qiao An'an smiled and said, "We're leaving now."

Su Anwei smiled and said, "Qin Yuhao, see you again sometime."

After saying that, she took Qiao An'an's arm and left.

Back in the office, Su Anwei couldn't help but pull Qiao An'an to a small corner, looking at her curiously and asking, "An'an, do you have a boyfriend?"

Qiao An'an wanted to say no, but if...

Just thinking about the way Qin Yuhao had been staring at him in the cafeteria earlier...

Qiao An'an answered firmly, "Yes!"

Although she broke up with him, she only tried dating Lu Yanzhi for three months, so it should be fine. They wouldn't let her bring him out to meet them, would they?

When Su Anwei heard her say yes, a look of regret appeared in her eyes.

"They must have started dating in college. That's wonderful. College romances are the most beautiful." Su Anwei's tone was filled with envy and admiration.

"Maybe," Qiao An'an smiled.

She didn't want to talk about this anymore.

Su Yuwei was used to taking a nap at noon, but she sat in her seat without feeling sleepy at all.

Soon, a chat window popped up on the phone.

It was sent by Qin Yuhao.

[An'an, are you free this weekend? Let's grab a bite to eat.]

I also invited Yuan Yuxin from your class to come along.

Looking at the successive messages sent this year, Qiao An'an felt quite helpless.

She could tell what he was thinking without him having to say it.

She replied with a message immediately.

"Senior, I have a boyfriend now, and I have plans for the weekend."

After replying to the message, Qiao An'an silenced her phone so as not to disturb her colleagues' lunch break. After turning off her phone, she began to look at the documents.

But she didn't notice that after she turned off her phone, a message jumped from one to six, and then a phone call came in.

Qiao An'an remained engrossed in the documents.

Meanwhile, in a building on the other side of the city.

Lu Yanzhi sat in his office, tapping his fingers absently on the desk, his eyes fixed on the phone he was dialing.

But no one answered the phone.

His deep eyes were reflected on the screen, revealing no emotion, but his expression changed.

He didn't reply to the message or answer the phone. After hanging up, Lu Yanzhi repeatedly typed text.

Why are you ignoring me?

After thinking about it, I realized that asking like that wouldn't work, so I deleted it.

Is it lunch break yet?

After clicking send, I waited for several minutes, but no one replied. Looking at the seven messages I had sent, none of which had been answered, my face turned gloomy.

His gaze as he looked out the floor-to-ceiling window was devoid of any warmth.
