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

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Qiao An'an clutched her chest tightly with both hands; her heart was pounding in her chest.

She spoke of herself in a low voice.

"Qiao An'an, he did it on purpose!"

"Qiao An'an, wake up! He's deliberately showing weakness in front of you."

But the sweetness in my heart only grew stronger.

She composed herself, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

Qiao An'an was startled, then realized what was happening and patted her chest.

She picked up her phone and saw the name "Yaoyao".

She tensed up instantly.

Lu Zhiyao said she would video chat with him every day.

But she's not at the villa right now, and besides, Lu Yanzhi is here too.

Qiao An'an paced back and forth with her phone in her hand, wanting to answer but not daring to.

When Lu Yanzhi came out of the room, he saw her pacing back and forth, looking conflicted and hesitant.

He didn't even notice when he walked right up to them.

"Whose call was that?"

Lu Yanzhi's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

Qiao An'an's guilty instinct was to hide her phone behind her back, and then she looked up to meet the man's deep eyes.

She wanted to say it wasn't important, but...

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Lu Yanzhi had said that he would talk to Lu Zhiyao about moving out.

She looked at the man and said, "Yao Yao called on video. I wasn't at the villa, she'll be angry."

Her phone rang again, startling her so much that she trembled.

Lu Yanzhi stepped forward and looked at the screen on his phone.

"Yao Yao".

He lowered his voice, his breath brushing against her neck, "Take it."

Qiao An'an immediately panicked.

"Don't answer!"

Without saying a word, Lu Yanzhi reached out and answered the call, then took two steps back to avoid the camera.

"An'an, why did it take you so long to answer?" Lu Zhiyao's smiling face appeared on the screen. "I missed you."

But soon, Lu Zhiyao got angry.

"An'an, did you move out while I was away?!"

Qiao An'an glanced at Lu Yanzhi and chuckled twice. "No, I'm staying at a hotel to visit my parents today."

"Oh, did Auntie and Uncle have fun?" Lu Zhiyao didn't suspect anything. "Where are Uncle and Auntie? Let me chat with them for a while."

Upon hearing this...

Qiao An'an's heart skipped a beat; her parents had already gone home this afternoon...

This……

She could only bite the bullet and say, "They went out to the night market and said they'd be back tomorrow. They're going out for a walk tonight."

"Okay, since my aunt and uncle had a great time, I have to thank my dad. He made all the arrangements very well." Lu Zhiyao genuinely wanted to thank her father.

"what?"

Qiao An'an glanced at Lu Yanzhi again, her eyes meeting his gentle gaze, and her face instantly flushed red.

"Well... I have to thank your dad!"

On the other end of the camera, Lu Zhiyao stared at the screen. "An'an, are you feeling unwell?"

Qiao An'an looked away, her eyes darting around. "I... I was just about to go out, I stretched a bit, and I'm a little hot."

Lu Zhiyao suddenly thought of something.

"An'an, my dad is injured and should be home for a while. Don't be afraid of him; he just looks fierce on the surface."

Hearing this, Qiao An'an felt guilty and dared not look at the phone camera.

"I...I understand."

If Lu Zhiyao knew about her relationship with Lu Yanzhi, would she still be friends with her?

On the other end of the phone, Lu Zhiyao, upon hearing Qiao An'an's response, felt something was off.

"An'an, it's getting late. My dad is injured. The servants at the villa usually don't come to the main building at night. Please remind him to apply the medicine."

"Okay, Yao Yao, you should get some rest too."

Qiao An'an became nervous as soon as she heard her mention Lu Yanzhi.

But looking at the man beside her, with his smiling face and doting eyes, she kept blushing.

Qiao An'an's shoulders slumped after Lu Zhiyao hung up.

Qiao An'an's back was covered in cold sweat. She turned her head and glared at Lu Yanzhi, her face full of shame and indignation.

"Yaoyao almost figured it out just now."

Seeing her huffing and puffing, Lu Yanzhi chuckled softly, pulling her into his arms. The tenderness in his eyes was incredibly alluring.

Her voice was even more alluring, "She'll never know."

He reached out and stroked her red lips, his voice full of tenderness, "Don't be afraid, if you don't want her to know, she won't know."

Qiao An'an felt flustered by his gentle and alluring gaze; the heat in his eyes seemed to be melting her.

The panic and shame in her heart rendered her speechless.

All I could tell was that my heart was pounding so hard I could hear it myself.

She lowered her eyelids, not daring to meet Lu Yanzhi's gaze again, her hands tightly twisting the hem of her skirt.

She felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about the video she had just watched.

Lu Yanzhi asked softly, "What are you thinking about, little one?"

The warmth of his palm threw her into a daze.

She should have pushed him away, but when she met Lu Yanzhi's possessive gaze, even her skin turned pink with embarrassment.

Qiao An'an cursed herself for being so spineless; she couldn't even walk away after just a little flirting.

She cleared her throat.

"Um... let go first."

Qiao An'an placed her hand on his chest, her palm resting on his steady, powerful heartbeat.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her and chuckled softly. His deep voice sent a shiver down her spine.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Qiao An'an felt the softness on her lips and quickly left.

Startled, she looked up at Lu Yanzhi.

When Lu Yanzhi saw her shy eyes, he could no longer resist and leaned down to kiss her red lips precisely.

The man's kiss was restrained yet passionate.

His hand was on her waist, giving her no chance to escape.

Their breaths mingled.

Qiao An'an trembled all over, and tried to escape in a panic, but the man held her tightly around the waist, his breath filled with his unique scent.

Qiao An'an tried to struggle, but her body was weak and powerless, and her hands subconsciously clutched at the front of his clothes.

The kiss deepened, and Lu Yanzhi's breath grew hotter and hotter, causing Qiao An'an to forget to breathe and completely succumb.

After a long while, Lu Yanzhi finally released her, and their foreheads touched.

Qiao An'an's eyes were glazed over from the kiss, she was panting heavily, her lips were glistening and even more alluring, and she had no strength left in her body.

All Qiao An'an could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat and Lu Yanzhi's heavy breathing.

Looking at her swollen and glistening lips, Lu Yanzhi's lust intensified, and his Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably.

He held her waist and pressed her against himself. The bandage on his injured hand had disappeared. His other hand moved up her waist.

His lips covered hers once more.

Qiao An'an placed her hand on his chest.

When the kiss landed on her neck, Qiao An'an's voice was hoarse.

"Uncle Lu, no...don't..."

Lu Yanzhi stopped abruptly, closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, the lust in his eyes had subsided somewhat.

He looked into her frightened eyes, and his expression gradually softened.
