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

After Qiao An'an fell asleep, Lu Yanzhi removed the bandages from his hands, embraced Ji An'an, and kissed her lips.

"Good night!"

the next day.

Qiao An'an was woken up by the heat.

She felt herself starting to sweat.

The moment she opened her eyes, she was greeted by Lu Yanzhi's scent, which gave her a strong sense of security.

She suddenly realized that she seemed to be holding...

She looked at her hands, which were wrapped around Lu Yanzhi's strong waist, and her legs were draped over his legs. She was practically hanging on him.

Qiao An'an suddenly looked up at Lu Yanzhi and saw that he was still asleep with his eyes closed.

Those long eyelashes and usually sharp-looking eyebrows and eyes were now only gentle.

last night……

Qiao An'an's face instantly turned red. How could she cling to him...?

How embarrassing!

Qiao An'an quickly pulled her hand back.

She looked at the man's injured arm, realizing that he had actually slept on the side of her injury all night!

She immediately became worried; would this worsen her injury?

Qiao An'an didn't care about anything else and hurriedly tried to get up. In her panic, she accidentally leaned forward and fell onto Lu Yanzhi's chest.

Lu Yanzhi groaned and opened his eyes.

His deep eyes were sleepy, but when he saw Qiao An'an, they softened.

Qiao An'an didn't know whether to get up or not; she didn't know where to look or where to put her hands.

"I...I didn't mean to, I was afraid of pressing on your injury..."

She looked at the man's wounded heart, her eyes filled with worry.

"How's your hand? I've been pressing on it all night, will it make it worse?"

Qiao An'an wanted to touch it, but was afraid of causing further injury, so she dared not move.

Seeing that her eyes were starting to redden, Lu Yanzhi's heart softened. He reached out and hugged her, his voice hoarse, "It doesn't hurt, it's okay."

Qiao An'an blushed even more. "Your injury hasn't healed yet, you can't sleep on top of me."

Hearing the self-reproach in her voice, Lu Yanzhi chuckled, "It's alright. I'm more than happy to have you on my side all night."

Qiao An'an strongly suspected that Lu Yanzhi was driving, but she had no evidence.

"Are you really okay?"

She looked up at the man, confirming again.

Lu Yanzhi kissed her cheek. "Really, look, I can move now."

After saying that, Lu Yanzhi deliberately raised his injured hand and turned his shoulder to show it to her.

Qiao An'an looked at him and saw that he seemed to be really alright, but she was still worried.

"Let me see, it wouldn't be good if the wound reopened."

As she spoke, she stood up and carefully removed the gauze.

Lu Yanzhi put his arm around her waist, looking at her worried expression with only tenderness in his eyes.

His gaze remained fixed on her face; her delicate eyelashes resembled butterflies, her nose was small and exquisite, and her red lips were incredibly alluring.

Qiao An'an removed the gauze, looked at the scabbed wound, and muttered softly, "Don't hug me to sleep anymore, if you're pressing on me..."

"no."

Lu Yanzhi didn't give her a chance to finish, burying his head in her arms with a hint of grievance, "I want to hold you while I sleep every day, that's the only way I can fall asleep."

"But……"

Lu Yanzhi continued with a slightly domineering tone, "This wound will heal quickly. You promised that I could hold you while I sleep every day."

Qiao An'an was momentarily stunned.

Did she agree to that?

"you……"

Lu Yanzhi kissed her lips. "You promised."

Qiao An'an said helplessly, "I promised last night..."

"I don't care, you promised." Lu Yanzhi became completely shameless.

Qiao An'an gave him a playful glare.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her eyes, chuckled, and reached out to pinch her cheek. "Sweetie, keep sleeping. Breakfast is ready, I'll wake you."

After saying that, he was about to get up.

Qiao An'an grabbed him, "Your hand isn't healed yet, I'll go make breakfast."

The voice just fell.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her, his eyes filled with nothing but doting affection.

"No need, this kitchen is mine from now on. You just need to be happy."

Qiao An'an wanted to say something, but the man pressed her back onto the bed and covered her with a blanket.

"Don't touch cold water now, sleep a little longer, I'll wake you up in a bit."

After saying that, Lu Yanzhi got up and left the room.

Qiao An'an lay on the bed, watching the man's departing figure. She felt warm inside, but also a little bitter. She wondered if she could really afford this favoritism.

In the end, Qiao An'an still couldn't fall asleep.

She got up, washed up, tidied herself up, and then went downstairs.

She heard a noise as soon as she arrived at the restaurant entrance. She walked to the kitchen door and saw the man holding a spatula in one hand, his apron outlining his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

Although it was done with one hand, the movements were skillful and composed.

Qiao An'an walked over and spoke in a soft voice.

"Ayan, can I help you?"

Lu Yanzhi had already heard her footsteps. He turned around to look at her, a smile on his lips, and said gently, "No need, go sit down, it'll be over in a bit."

A short while later, Lu Yanzhi came out carrying two plates.

Lu Yanzhi placed the plate down and pulled Qiao An'an to sit down. "Try it, do you like it?"

As Qiao An'an ate her breakfast, she looked up at the man and said, "Your hand isn't healed yet, so don't keep doing these things. I can manage on my own."

Lu Yanzhi's eyes were full of laughter. "Goodness, I'm not that weak."

The rising sun shone on them, and every movement they made was filled with doting affection and tenderness.

Qiao An'an ate her breakfast in small bites, but her gaze kept drifting towards the man.

Watching him eat his breakfast slowly and deliberately, occasionally feeding her a little bit, Qiao An'an felt even more bitter.

After breakfast, Qiao An'an applied medicine to Lu Yan.

"alright."

Lu Yanzhi held her hand tightly, his voice low and husky.

"Wow, your hands are so small and soft."

Qiao An'an blushed again, and glared at him coquettishly, "Be serious."

"I'm at home, why should I be so serious?"

As he spoke, Lu Yanzhi kissed her hand, reluctant to let go.

Qiao An'an quickly withdrew her hand, got up, picked up her bag, and walked towards the door.

"I'm going to work now."

Lu Yanzhi also got up and walked over, his eyes filled with love and tenderness, completely different from his usual domineering and cold demeanor.

He looked at Qiao An'an with a hint of coquetry, "Sweetie, I want a goodbye kiss."

Qiao An'an froze, her face turning bright red. She didn't dare look at the man. "How can anyone act like this?"

"Of course!"

Lu Yanzhi leaned down to look at her, his eyes filled with reluctance. "I won't be able to see you for even a day, and I'll miss you terribly."

Hearing the grievance and reluctance in his tone, Qiao An'an suddenly looked up and saw the man's somewhat pitiful appearance.

This contrast is quite striking...

Qiao An'an bit her lip, her heart softening, but in the end, she couldn't resist the man's gaze.

She planted a kiss on the man's lips, then quickly turned and left.

"I'm going to be late for work!"

Qiao An'an didn't dare to look back at him, and quickly opened the door and rushed out.

Her heart was pounding.

She only calmed down after arriving at the company.

"Good morning, Sister Anwei!"

Qiao An'an greeted her colleagues first.

Su Anwei looked at her face and narrowed her eyes. "An'an, you look great. Your complexion is fair and rosy. You look like you've been pampered by your boyfriend."

These words made Qiao An'an blush again. She whispered, "No, I misread the time and thought I was going to be late, so I ran a little too fast."

But the panic and shyness on her face were unmistakable.
