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

Looking at her aggrieved expression, Lu Yanzhi felt a pang of pity and reached out to hug her, his voice softening.

"Sweetie, shall we stay here?"

Qiao An'an wanted to say that she wanted to live alone.

But when the words reached her lips, her throat tightened with grievance, and she couldn't utter them.

next second.

Qiao An'an could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.

She didn't cry out loud, but her body trembled as she silently lamented her grievances.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yanzhi couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He was used to making arrangements, and everyone around him obeyed him; no one had ever rebelled.

Looking at the person crying silently in front of him, he felt a pang of sympathy and tried to comfort them.

"Don't cry, it's okay if we don't live together."

Qiao An'an looked at the man, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing that she had stopped crying, Lu Yanzhi sighed helplessly.

"You'll have to live alone after I recover from my injuries." Lu Yanzhi had no choice but to change his approach. "Sweetie, I need you right now."

Qiao An'an wiped away her tears and looked at the place where Lu Yanzhi was injured.

He needs someone to take care of him now, and she promised to take care of him.

Thinking of this, Qiao An'an nodded.

Instantly, Lu Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, a glint of triumph flashing in his eyes.

He took her hand and said, "Don't cry, let's go see the room."

Qiao An'an was led to see the room with tears still clinging to her eyelashes.

As soon as I turned around, I heard the man groan.

Qiao An'an looked at him nervously, "Are you... are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Yanzhi frowned, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Qiao An'an pulled her out hand back. "Is your shoulder hurting?"

Lu Yanzhi turned around and saw her panicked eyes, which only contained her own thoughts.

Afraid that she might cry, he quickly said, "It's okay."

Qiao An'an noticed his expression was off, frowned, and stood on tiptoe to examine the injury on his shoulder.

"Let me see if I've pulled anything. Maybe we should go to the hospital."

Hearing the worry in her voice, Lu Yanzhi felt a warmth in his heart. He turned his head and brushed his lips against hers.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

Qiao An'an instinctively stepped back, her cheeks burning hot.

Her voice was barely audible, "Um... be careful."

Lu Yanzhi had recovered, and his voice was gentle and smiling, "With Guai Guai here, she'll take good care of me."

Qiao An'an thought of something, her face turned even redder, and she walked towards her room.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw that everything inside was exactly what she wanted.

The walls were a pale blue, the floor was covered with carpet, and the air was filled with the fragrance of lily of the valley.

She looked at the succulents she liked on the dressing table and reached out to touch them.

The next second...

She heard another muffled groan.

She quickly turned around and saw Lu Yanzhi standing in the dressing room.

Qiao An'an quickly went over, "What are you going to do?"

"I got you some clothes." There was a hint of suppressed emotion in Lu Yanzhi's voice. "I bought some clothes, I don't know if you'll like them."

Qiao An'an took a deep breath. "You just called me over to take a look. Don't move around, or you'll aggravate your wound."

After saying that, Qiao An'an looked into the wardrobe, her face burning hot.

Did he buy pajamas?

What did he just say?

I wonder if she likes it?

Why would he buy her pajamas for no reason?

They were all camisole nightgowns, supposedly two-piece sets, but...

Qiao An'an glanced at them; there were ten sets, all of them...sexy...

Qiao An'an shuddered and dared not think any further.

Lu Yanzhi's forehead was beaded with sweat, and his face was even paler than before.

As soon as Qiao An'an looked up, she noticed that something was wrong with him.

"Does it hurt a lot? No, let's go to the hospital. I don't know if it's serious?"

After saying that, Qiao An'an pulled him and started to walk out.

Lu Yanzhi didn't move, but instead held her hand and didn't leave.

"It's alright," Lu Yanzhi's voice was a little hoarse. "It'll be fine in a bit."

Qiao An'an saw that his face had turned pale from the pain, sniffed, and was a little angry.

"Lu Yanzhi, you did this on purpose!"

Knowing she felt guilty, he deliberately softened her heart.

Lu Yanzhi saw that her eyes were red and smiled, "Why aren't you calling me Uncle Lu anymore?"

He did it on purpose; he wanted to move out with her and live together.

Qiao An'an raised her hand and patted him. "Still laughing? You're clearly doing it on purpose."

Lu Yanzhi's face turned even paler, and his voice was low.

"Yeah, on purpose, otherwise you would have left me all alone."

Upon hearing this...

Looking into the tenderness in his eyes, Qiao An'an felt a surge of grievances welling up inside her, but this time, it was different; it felt sweet.

She raised her hand and carefully took his hand, saying, "I promised to take care of you, so I won't abandon you."

Although the current development has exceeded her expectations, she has no other choice.

Hearing Qiao An'an's words, Lu Yanzhi's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"Thank you, sweetie!"

Unbeknownst to Qiao An'an, Lu Yanzhi wore a triumphant smile on his pale face, like a fox stealing a monkey.

Qiao An'an helped him to the bedside and sat him down. "I'll go get a glass of water."

"Don't go, sweetie." Lu Yanzhi's voice was soft and weak. "Don't go."

Qiao An'an paused and sat down next to him.

They were sitting right opposite the door to the walk-in closet.

Qiao An'an thought of those pajamas from earlier; they weren't the style she usually wore, too...

Lu Yanzhi asked, "Do you like those pajamas?"

Qiao An'an glared at him. "Don't ask."

Hearing her cute yet fierce voice, Lu Yanzhi said softly, "When I was buying, I didn't know how to choose. It was my first time buying."

Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he spoke with an air of innocence.

"I originally chose a short skirt and long pants, but Zhao Dong said that girls nowadays like these styles, so I bought it."

Qiao An'an... "..."

Didn't you just say that he went to buy it?

Did Zhao Dong give any advice?

Qiao An'an was so embarrassed that she couldn't lift her head. "I don't like it."

"What kind of things does my little one like?" Lu Yanzhi couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. "Tell me, and I'll go buy them tomorrow."

After saying that, Lu Yanzhi stood up. "I'll throw those away."

Qiao An'an quickly said, "No need to throw it away!"

What should I do if I throw it away tonight?

Lu Yanzhi smiled and turned to look at her, a sly glint in his eyes. "If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it."

The man's warm breath brushed against her face, and Qiao An'an's heart pounded like thunder.

How can this man say such things?

Qiao An'an looked away in a panic, "I, I'll go get a glass of water."

After saying that, he rushed out of the room as if he were fleeing.

As Lu Yanzhi watched her retreating figure, his expression immediately darkened, and a look of suppressed resentment appeared in his eyes. He turned his head to look at his shoulder.

Then he looked towards the doorway of the room.

It's okay, he has plenty of time and opportunities. We can coax him slowly later.

He will slowly and gradually win her heart, making her unable to leave him.
