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

The thought of tying Qiao An'an up suddenly popped into Jiang Chen's mind.

He was not reconciled.

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated.

"Brother Chen, this isn't a good idea. Qiao An'an and Lu Zhiyao are good friends. What if we offend the Lu family..."

"Besides, it'll be hard to explain to your mother."

But Jiang Chen was in a fit of anger and wouldn't listen to anything.

"So what about the Lu family?"

Jiang Chen's tone was filled with anger, "The Lu family can take my people, I don't care, I want to see Qiao An'an."

After saying that, without waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to speak, he coldly told the caregiver to hang up.

Yang Xue stared at the scene before her, her face stiffening.

She never expected that Jiang Chen would like Qiao An'an so much.

They even wanted to keep her by their side.

What is she?

Who does she think she is?

These days, although Jiang Chen didn't say anything, she could feel that he was becoming increasingly indifferent to her.

She cooked soup and brought it over, but he didn't even glance at it.

The first thing he asks when he wakes up every day is whether she or the caregiver has finished visiting.

Yang Xue thought that her companionship would make Jiang Chen realize her importance.

But now...

Yang Xue's jealousy and hatred were suffocating her.

She quickly composed herself, picked up the medicine, and handed it to Jiang Chen. "Brother Jiang Chen, don't be angry, but if you really... that won't do."

Jiang Chen glanced at her. "An'an and I just had a fight. It's not illegal for me to want to see my girlfriend."

Jiang Chen didn't notice the viciousness in Yang Xue's eyes.

"Brother Jiang Chen, if there's anything you want to do, tell me, and I can help you."

What she needs to do now is to destroy Qiao An'an and make Jiang Chen hate Qiao An'an.

Once Qiao An'an is tainted, Jiang Chen will no longer want her.

Yang Xue walked out of the ward, her face filled with hatred.

Qiao An'an stole Jiang Chen from her, making her so humble.

Yang Xue walked to the stairwell and dialed a number.

Meanwhile, Qiao An'an and Su Anwei returned to the company.

Qiao An'an would sit at her workstation, looking at the documents in front of her, unable to calm down no matter what.

A dull ache in her wrist made her feel irritable.

After getting off work, Qiao An'an took a deep breath, packed her things, and got up.

As soon as she stepped out of the company gate, she saw Lu Yanzhi waiting by the car.

He was dressed in a sharp suit, his brows furrowed with composure, but when he looked into her eyes, a touch of gentleness appeared in his gaze.

"Good girl." Lu Yan stepped forward and naturally took her bag, his gaze falling on the gauze on her wrist.

Her gentle gaze instantly changed.

"How did you hurt your hand?"

Qiao An'an was startled and instinctively hid her hands behind her back. "It's just a scratch."

She also knew that if Lu Yanzhi wanted to know, he could find out the information.

But she also knew that Lu Yanzhi would mind her past with Jiang Chen.

But it's all in the past, so there's no need to bring it up again.

A chill ran through Lu Yanzhi's eyes, but he said nothing more.

He raised his hand, his tone gentle yet cold.

"Be careful. I really want to keep you by my side. Come on, let's celebrate."

Qiao An'an breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the man's words.

Lu Yanzhi opened the car door, and Qiao An'an obediently got in.

The car was quiet. As soon as Lu Yanzhi got in, he picked up his phone and started working on something.

Qiao An'an assumed he had company matters to attend to, so she didn't bother him.

Zhao Dong has work today; he's at the company.

Lu Yanzhi sent a message to Zhao Dong, asking him to investigate everything that had happened to Qiao An'an that day.

After sending the message, he looked at Qiao An'an, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.

His little one looks like he's been bullied.

But she refused to tell him.

The car arrived at the restaurant, and the two had just sat down when Lu Yanzhi's phone rang.

Lu Yanzhi got up and walked to the French windows to listen to Zhao Dong's report.

Gradually, the air pressure around him suddenly dropped, and even the surrounding air became much colder.

Lu Yanzhi squinted slightly.

Jiang Chen!

very good!

"Keep an eye on him and don't let him get close to An'an."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yanzhi exuded a chilling aura.

Lu Yanzhi had heard of Jiang Chen many times.

Every time Lu Zhiyao chatted with Qiao An'an, she would mention this name.

She's just an ex, yet she dares to think about getting back together with him.

With him around, Jiang Chen shouldn't even think about it.

Lu Yanzhi served food to Qiao An'an, "Sweetie, try the food here, I heard it's pretty good."

"Um!"

Qiao An'an didn't notice the man's unusual behavior and kept her head down, eating quietly.

Little did they know, a much larger conspiracy was unfolding in the shadows.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her obedient appearance and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Seeing her completely unguarded state, Lu Yanzhi suppressed his anger.

"You eat too."

Seeing that he wasn't eating, Qiao An'an put some food on his plate.

A gentle smile played in Lu Yanzhi's eyes. "I want to eat, but I want to eat you even more."

Upon hearing this,

Qiao An'an's face turned even redder instantly, and she subconsciously lowered her head, trying to avoid the man's direct gaze.

"You...you should eat properly."

Seeing her shy expression, Lu Yanzhi's mood instantly improved.

"How's the injury on your wrist?"

Qiao An'an shook her head, "It's just a minor injury, the doctor treated it."

She didn't mention anyone else.

But Lu Yanzhi felt uneasy.

He said gently, "I'll change your dressing when we get home."

He kept talking and putting food on her plate, but his eyes were fixed on her face.

Qiao An'an was taken aback. She wanted to say no, but when she met the man's gaze, she couldn't say anything.

She nodded.

After finishing their meal, Lu Yanzhi naturally took her hand.

These days, Qiao An'an seems to have gotten used to it and lets him hold her hand.

His hands were big and warm.

"Let's go home."

Lu Yanzhi's voice was deep and gentle.

Come back home?

Lu Yanzhi spoke as if that place belonged only to the two of them.

Qiao An'an's heart skipped a beat.

As soon as Qiao An'an returned to the apartment and was about to go inside, Lu Yanzhi grabbed her arm.

"Goodness!"

Qiao An'an looked at him, "Hmm?"

Lu Yanzhi's gaze fell on her wrist.

"I'll disinfect it for you."

"No."

Qiao An'an hid her hands behind her back.

"It's just a minor injury. The doctor treated it, and we can remove the laceration tomorrow."

She said from the beginning that it was a scratch, and if we take it apart now, anyone with eyes can see that it was caused by a fingernail.

Lu Yanzhi took her hand and walked towards the sofa.

"Let me see, it would be better to disinfect it again."

Qiao An'an, "..."

She felt the man's fingertips rubbing back and forth on her skin, and Qiao An'an's face instantly turned red again.

She felt that whenever she was alone with Lu Yanzhi, her face was always red.

Seeing that Qiao An'an remained silent, Lu Yanzhi's lips curled up. "I'll go get the first-aid kit."

He turned around and grabbed the first-aid kit, taking out disinfectant from it.

Lu Yanzhi carefully unwrapped the bandages from her hand.

A row of pinch marks was then revealed.

Qiao An'an's heart tightened instinctively, and she looked nervously at Lu Yanzhi.
