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

He looked at the other side of the city, where Joan was.

It's 12:30 now. He checked, and the company closes at 12:00. The message he sent out at 11:45 hasn't received a reply yet.

Goodness, is she avoiding him or did she not see the message?

Lu Yanzhi was thinking about all sorts of things.

What he didn't know was that Qiao An'an was so engrossed in reading the documents that morning that she hadn't checked her phone, and now that her phone was on silent, she was still reading the documents intently.

Lu Yanzhi frowned, raised his hand to dial the intercom, and said coldly, "Zhao Dong, come here."

A few seconds later, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Zhao Dong said respectfully, "President Lu."

He's used to it; as a special assistant, he's on call 24/7.

His compensation was also the highest.

"Go check if anything happened in Anfan's design department this morning?" Lu Yanzhi tapped his fingers on the table.

Zhao Dong felt uncertain after hearing this.

In the morning, his boss suddenly wanted to acquire Anfan, and now he wanted to investigate Anfan. Instantly, Zhao Dong understood what was going on.

This is clearly related to Miss Qiao An'an.

That's definitely not Cha Anxin, but Miss Cha Qiao An'an.

After thinking it through, Zhao Dong understood.

"Mr. Lu, I'll check it right away."

As soon as he stepped out of the CEO's office, Zhao Dong's expression turned strange, no longer displaying his usual respect.

His face and expression changed like a palette of colors.

Is it possible that his CEO has finally found happiness?

After all these years, he was starting to think that his boss had homosexual tendencies.

Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon a huge piece of gossip today, one that was far too difficult to digest.

It turns out my boss isn't gay, but rather likes innocent, naive girls like Qiao An'an...

Unexpectedly, the CEO has a taste for this.

But I'm a little full eating this melon by myself.

If it gets out...

The thought of the consequences sent a chill down Zhao Dong's spine, and he immediately abandoned the idea.

At this moment, Lu Yanzhi suddenly felt like he wasn't himself anymore and chuckled.

Am I possessed?

Ten minutes later.

Lu Yanzhi's expression darkened as he listened to Zhao Dong's report.

"What is An'an doing right now?"

Zhao Dong replied calmly, "Miss Qiao is currently reviewing the documents carefully."

He screamed inwardly like a groundhog, realizing it was indeed related to Miss Qiao.

After listening, Lu Yanzhi told himself that he was too focused on reading the information and that he would call back when he saw the message and the call.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Yanzhi couldn't help but smile.

But when Qin Yuhao saw the video of the cafeteria sent by Zhao Dong and struck up a conversation, his eyes instantly turned sharp.

Especially later, they even added each other as friends.

Qin's thoughts were written all over his face, and Lu Yanzhi felt a strange pang of jealousy.

He didn't realize he was jealous; he just felt annoyed that the guy surnamed Qin had added Qiao An'an as a friend.

Zhao Dong immediately handed over the documents in his hand.

"Mr. Lu, this is the information on Qin Yuhao from the video."

Lu Yanzhi nodded in satisfaction, "Well done."

His gaze fell on the documents; this person went to the same school as An'an…

Hmph, someone who dares to covet him just because of that...

At this moment, Qiao An'an never expected that just because she didn't see the message and the call, she would make someone who was originally calm and indifferent become extremely jealous.

It wasn't until her colleagues who were taking a lunch break in the office got up and went to the break room to refresh themselves that Qiao An'an finally managed to pull herself out of the pile of documents.

She went to get a glass of water, washed her face, and when she came back, she saw several messages hanging above her phone.

Just as she was about to open it, another message came in.

Are you done with your work?

Who is this person?

There was no nickname or nickname, and with that black profile picture, she didn't know who this friend was for a moment.

Qiao An'an clicked into the chat box, and after reading the message, she was completely stunned.

Only one person called her "good girl"!

She remarked that the profile picture looked remarkably like someone else's style, and it really was Lu Yanzhi.

She quickly glanced at it and found that the first message had been sent at 11:45, when she hadn't checked her phone.

[Wow, how was your first day at work?]

How are your relationships with your colleagues?

Wow, it's time to get off work!

At 12:10, the third item.

Sweetie, have you had lunch yet?

Immediately after 12:15.

Sweetie, you've worked hard today, so make sure you eat well.

12:20.

Did you take a lunch break?

The last one is the one I just received.

Lu Yanzhi sent her so many messages, but she didn't see a single one.

Immediately afterwards, she saw missed calls. After clicking on them, she saw five missed calls, all from the same number.

Looking at the message again, she knew it was from Lu Yanzhi.

She felt a sudden surge of nervousness, unsure how to respond to these messages.

What was clearly just a normal message of concern became extraordinary when it came to Lu Yanzhi.

Lu Yanzhi is the head of the Lu family, controlling the lifeline of most of the business empire.

He's such a busy man, yet he sent her so many messages.

This terrified her.

How should she respond?

She said she didn't look at her phone!

Will he believe it?

She replied to Qin Yuhao's message at noon, but ignored Lu Yanzhi's message.

It doesn't seem right not to reply.

We still need to go back to the villa tonight!

After thinking for a while, Qiao An'an decided that she should still go back.

Uncle Lu, I'm sorry, I've been busy and didn't see the message.

After sending it, I felt like it lacked sincerity.

I've been looking at documents, and I only just picked up my phone.

Then, she replied to every single message Lu Yan sent.

The first day went pretty well.

My colleagues are easy to get along with.

……

After replying to each of them, she added a note to Lu Yanzhi's contact.

[Best Friend's Dad]

Now we'll know who it is.

Just as Qiao An'an was about to put her phone down, a new message popped up on her phone.

She thought it was from Lu Yanzhi and was afraid of missing it, but when she opened it, she found that it was from Qin Yuhao and ignored it.

Meanwhile, in the conference room on the other side...

The temperature was so low that people were shivering, and Lu Yanzhi's eyes were glued to his phone.

His aura was frighteningly cold, and his gaze was like a knife.

The executive giving the report had cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Only Zhao Dong, sitting behind Lu Yanzhi, sighed inwardly.

Men in love are definitely not to be trifled with.

The vinegar jar has been overturned! Oh no, the backyard is on fire!

Others might not know what was going on, but he knew perfectly well; he had investigated it himself.

This isn't because the staff below didn't do their job properly; it's clearly because Miss Qiao was hit on and even added as a friend, and she's angry about it.

Unexpectedly, he was able to see his own CEO being jealous.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was almost suffocating.
