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

In the living room on the first floor, Lu Zhiyao was sitting on the sofa. As soon as she saw her, she immediately went over and took her hand, smiling happily, "An'an, you're awake? Does your head hurt?"

Qiao An'an felt guilty and didn't dare to look her in the eye. "It doesn't hurt."

"That's good. I'll have someone prepare your breakfast." Lu Zhiyao looked at her with concern.

Qiao An'an lowered her head, feeling guilty and flustered. "No need, I don't have an appetite right now."

She is truly afraid to face Lu Zhiyao and Lu Yanzhi now. Having done such a big thing, the shock and guilt have left her feeling lost and helpless.

Qiao An'an was lost in thought when she heard Lu Zhiyao's voice.

"An'an, what's wrong?"

"Is she still thinking about that scumbag Jiang Chen?"

Lu Zhiyao's excited voice rose a few decibels.

Qiao An'an came to her senses and smiled, unsure of what to say.

Lu Zhiyao continued, "An'an, there are plenty of good men in this world. What's so good about that rotten cucumber of his? He's not even as good as the heartbreak gift I gave you yesterday."

"I'll take you to see the men around my dad another day. Those are the real quality men, way better than that scumbag Jiang Chen."

After Lu Zhiyao offered her some comforting words, Qiao An'an forced a smile, which looked more like a grimace than a genuine cry. She was truly suffering inside!

How could she dare to see him!

She just slept with someone's adoptive father.

"Yaoyao, I haven't been thinking about him. He just called me and explained that it wasn't what I saw, it was a misunderstanding. I've already made it clear to him that we're breaking up."

After Qiao An'an finished speaking, she pondered for a while and then said again.

"Yaoyao, I'm thinking of renting a place near my internship company. It would be more convenient that way. You know I like to sleep in, so this way I can sleep a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyao's face immediately fell, looking hurt. She immediately grabbed her arm, looking like she was about to cry.

"An'an, don't you want me anymore? I'll feel like I'm dying without you, you can't leave me alone."

Looking at Lu Zhiyao, she was both cute and pitiful.

Qiao An'an's heart softened instantly, and she swallowed back the harsh words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She couldn't bear to see Lu Zhiyao cry.

"I...I'll think about it carefully." She reluctantly conceded, her tone filled with conflict and difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyao immediately smiled, kissed her cheek, and smiled innocently, but her eyes sparkled with the light of a little fox.

The two sat on the sofa, neither of them noticing that Lu Yanzhi was standing at the corner of the stairs, having overheard their conversation.

His deep eyes fell on Qiao An'an's guilty and flustered figure.

When he heard Qiao An'an say she wanted to move out, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. But when he heard her compromise, the coldness in his eyes faded, and a deep, determined smile appeared on his face.

Lu Yanzhi waved towards the shadows.

A man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit immediately appeared behind him.

"gentlemen."

"Has Lu Zhiyao completed her recent training?"

Otherwise, where would he find the time to keep his little girl by his side every day?

The man answered truthfully, "Sir, Miss's training was completed according to the family's requirements, and she met all the standards, even ahead of schedule."

"Since it's finished ahead of schedule, then intensify it with closed-door training. Go and arrange it." Lu Yanzhi's tone was calm.

The man paused for a moment.

Miss's training is the most complete among all the children in the family, and she got a perfect score. The master said he wants to strengthen it, which is the highest level of training. Is that possible?

Despite his thoughts, the man dared not question it and went to make the arrangements.

Lu Yanzhi looked at the figure in the living room, a gentle smile in his eyes.

Want to avoid him?

late.

A moment later, Lu Zhiyao's phone rang, interrupting her friends' conversation.

"Yaoyao, I need to take this call."

Lu Zhiyao held Qiao An'an's hand tightly with one hand, as if afraid she would leave, and continued the conversation with the other.

"Hey, Teacher Lu!"

After hearing what was said, Lu Zhiyao's face froze instantly. She jumped up from the sofa, becoming extremely agitated, her voice rising several octaves.

"What did you say? A month of closed training?!"

Immediately afterward, Lu Zhiyao's face turned utterly lifeless, and she said into the phone, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhiyao burst into tears. She had been faking her tears before, but this time she was crying for real.

She nestled into Qiao An'an's arms, crying bitterly, "Waaah... An'an... I'm so pitiful..."

Qiao An'an was startled by her crying and quickly patted her back, asking worriedly, "Yaoyao, what's wrong?"

"I've already finished the family training ahead of schedule, but now those old fogies in the family say they're going to have closed training, so I won't get any rest, boohoo..."

Lu Zhiyao sobbed, her shoulders shaking, as she tearfully complained, "They're so cruel! They robbed me of my wonderful vacation... Waaah... And they're sending me to the most brutal closed training..."

Hearing this, Qiao An'an's heart instantly settled down. She patted her back to comfort her, a hint of barely perceptible joy flashing in her eyes.

Lu Zhiyao went to closed training. Once she left, she could move out and wouldn't have to face Lu Yanzhi or suffer anymore.

"My Yao Yao is amazing. This shows that they recognize your abilities. Yao Yao will definitely be an elite in the future."

Lu Zhiyao wiped away her tears, "But the closed training will last for a month, and then I won't be able to be with you."

"Then we can be together every day in a month. This is a great opportunity and very important to you." Qiao An'an gently comforted her, but in her heart she was already planning to pack her things and move soon.

She had a beautiful plan, but Lu Zhiyao saw right through her.

"An'an, I'm going to be in closed training for a month. I'll be checking up on you via video every day. If you dare to move out, we're breaking up."

Lu Zhiyao's eyes were red from crying. She looked at her seriously, her tone threatening.

Qiao An'an, "..."

Her lips twitched, and the joy in her heart vanished instantly.

Moving out means breaking off the friendship, but if I don't move out, Lu Zhiyao will probably find out one day and break off the friendship in the same way.

She is now in a dilemma.

Forget it, let's take a step by step.

After thinking it through, Qiao An'an decided not to move for now; she could simply avoid Lu Yanzhi.

Lu Zhiyao received a notice to immediately add training. After packing her things, she held Qiao An'an's hand, looking reluctant to part, and got into the car, turning back every three steps.

Before starting the car, he leaned out and told Qiao An'an not to move out, or he would break off all ties with her.

As Qiao An'an watched Lu Zhiyao's departing figure, the thought of Lu Yanzhi still being in this house made her back stiffen, her whole body tense, and she broke out in a cold sweat, her heart pounding.

She's going back to her room now and won't go out again.

Having made up her mind, she decided to go back to her room right away. As soon as she turned around, she heard the man's deep, magnetic voice, filled with gentleness and a unique doting affection, say, "Sweetie, come here, shall we talk?"

Good boy?

These two words, so gentle and doting, carried an irresistible tone that made Qiao An'an tremble all over, her cheeks flushed red, and even her neck twitched. Her breathing and heartbeat became erratic.

She looked at the man uncontrollably, walked towards him, her eyes darting away, unable to look at him.

Lu Yanzhi leaned against the door, his posture languid and noble. His black shirt was buttoned up meticulously, exuding a cold, noble, and composed aura, with an inherent domineering CEO vibe.
