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

"Going out?"

Lu Yanzhi's voice came out suddenly.

Qiao An'an subconsciously stopped and stood up straight.

"I have to go out."

"Hmm?" Lu Yanzhi looked at her.

Qiao An'an felt very uncomfortable under his gaze, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

She answered truthfully, "I'm going to the hospital."

Upon hearing that they were going to the hospital, Lu Yanzhi quickly put away his phone and stood up. "Are you in a lot of pain? I'll take you to the hospital."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and picked Qiao An'an up in his arms.

Qiao An'an didn't react for a moment and fell into his arms.

A familiar, domineering, and refreshing aura enveloped her, making her feel slightly dizzy.

Instantly, those indescribable scenes from last night flooded back into my mind.

Coming to her senses, Qiao An'an saw that the man was about to step out the door and quickly said, "Wait a minute, put me down first."

What is this man thinking?

She only went to the hospital to take care of some things, why did he think of last night...?

Isn't he embarrassed?

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yanzhi said seriously, "Sweetie, you're not feeling well right now. It'll be better if I hold you, otherwise the friction from walking will make it worse."

As soon as he finished speaking...

Qiao An'an felt so ashamed that she couldn't face anyone.

Sure enough, there's a generation gap every three years; they're separated by an entire Yangtze River!

Qiao An'an struggled to get down.

"I'm fine now after taking the medication. I just went to the hospital to visit a friend and take care of some things."

Qiao An'an's tone was both anxious and shy.

Lu Yanzhi stopped and looked down at her, his eyes filled with doubt. He then said, "It's alright, I'll take you there."

With that, Lu Yanzhi carried her out of the villa and headed towards the car.

Should we take her to the hospital?

Are you kidding me!

"No need for that trouble, I can go by myself." Qiao An'an struggled, trying to get down from the ground.

But the man was holding her too tightly.

"Sweetie, you promised you wouldn't refuse my kindness." Lu Yanzhi put her in the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt. "It's hard to get a taxi here, I'm worried about you."

Seeing Lu Yanzhi's unquestionable actions, Qiao An'an felt helpless.

"Uncle Lu, you're so busy, you don't need to take me. It's easy for me to take a taxi." After saying that, Qiao An'an wanted to get out of the car.

But Lu Yanzhi grabbed him.

"You've been stopping me from taking you there. Are you going to the hospital to see your ex-boyfriend?"

Qiao An'an, "..."

What's this man's zodiac sign? How did he know what she was going to do?

"Honey, are you afraid I'll be upset if I find out you went to see your ex-boyfriend?"

Qiao An'an, "..."

What the hell?

Is this man trying to comfort himself?

But the man continued talking to himself.

"Don't worry, I won't be angry. I'm glad you considered my feelings."

Lu Yanzhi reached out and pinched her cheek.

Qiao An'an couldn't help but glare at him, only to see the smile on Lu Yanzhi's face.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, who was in the hospital ward, was in a single room with both legs and both hands in casts and a neck brace.

The caregiver had just taken the phone away from his face.

Jiang Chen chuckled, a smug look on his face. "It's just that Qiao An'an couldn't bear to break up with me. She only blocked me in a fit of anger. My mom made a phone call, and she came over to take care of me."

Yesterday was Yang Xue's birthday, and he had originally planned to take advantage of Qiao An'an's drunkenness that night.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xue aroused him first, and he couldn't hold back for a moment, which led to Qiao An'an, who came to find him, running right into him.

When he realized what was happening and chased after her, he only saw Qiao An'an's back.

When he called, Qiao An'an immediately broke up with him.

At first, he was really afraid that Qiao An'an would break up with him. After all, he had pursued her for several months before finally winning her over. He had wasted so much time and hadn't even kissed her yet. It was really not worth it.

But his friends reminded him that Qiao An'an had truly loved him over the past two years, both families were satisfied, and he also felt that Qiao An'an loved him very much and was reluctant to break up with him.

After all, since they became a couple, Qiao An'an had always refused to let him touch her, and he had agreed to it. He had been refraining from doing so, and Qiao An'an should feel indebted to him.

How could they possibly break up with each other?

However, when he thought about how he had endured it for two years, he felt that he shouldn't spoil Qiao An'an like this. He wanted Qiao An'an to know that finding a boyfriend like him was already a blessing for her.

Qiao An'an's parents were just ordinary employees, but his family was different; at least they were in business.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was even more certain that Qiao An'an would not be willing to break up with him.

She will naturally come back to him in a few days.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen became even more unrestrained in telling his brothers about his romantic escapades with Yang Xue.

Unexpectedly, he went out to answer a phone call and bumped into someone as soon as he stepped outside. Before he could even see who it was, he was beaten up.

After sobering up in the hospital, he wanted to find out who had contacted him, but then he remembered the warning he had received, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

If he finds out who it is, he won't let it go.

Lying immobile in his hospital bed, his first thought was of Qiao An'an.

He only found out he'd been blocked when he called, and his messages went unanswered. So he came up with a plan: he asked his mother to call Qiao An'an over to take care of him.

He had already told his mother about the breakup, and bluntly stated that if he was going to break up, he would have to get the person first.

Sure enough, his mother settled things with just one phone call.

Jiang Chen, who was feeling quite pleased with himself, suddenly felt no pain in his body.

Half an hour later, Jiang Chen heard the sound of the ward door being pushed open.

He tried to turn his head to look, but the pain in his neck made him furious.

He got angry instantly.

"Qiao An'an, what right do you have to break up with me?"

After waiting for two seconds without hearing a response, Jiang Chen spoke with pride.

"You dare to block me? If you listen to me and don't break up with me, I'll take you to buy a bag after I'm discharged from the hospital."

Jiang Chen still hasn't realized that the person who entered the ward wasn't Qiao An'an.

It wasn't until an unpleasant voice rang out that Jiang Chen realized who had come.

"Brother Chen, didn't you say you and Senior Qiao had broken up? Why are you still buying her a bag?"

Jiang Chen frowned as he watched the person walk to the bedside.

"Why are you here?"

The person who arrived was Yang Xue, his junior from school and also his lover.

Apart from his brothers, no one knew about his relationship with Yang Xue.

All he wanted now was for Yang Xue to leave quickly, because if Wei An'an saw them, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

"Brother Chen, you're in the hospital, and I'm here to take care of you. You're clearly still thinking about Senior Sister Qiao. How can you do this?"

Yang Xue looked heartbroken, as if she was about to cry.

Jiang Chen's heart softened when he saw her aggrieved look.

"Taking care of a patient is hard work, and I don't want you to be so tired. It's good that Qiao An'an is taking care of you. You should go back now, because she won't take care of you if she sees you here. I'm afraid you'll get tired."

Jiang Chen tried to coax and deceive the person into leaving.

Displeasure flashed in Yang Xue's eyes.

She had been with Jiang Chen since her freshman year of college, but could only ever be his secret lover.

She was the one who met Jiang Chen first, and she was the one who got together with Jiang Chen first, so why should she be the one who can't be seen in the light of day?
