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

After knocking, she opened the door and saw Gu Qingsong.

Gu Qingsong was somewhat surprised to see her, a look of amazement and joy flashing in his eyes.

"Miss Ji, are you here to change your dressing?"

Qiao An'an said apologetically, "I came to pay for the medicine; I forgot yesterday."

"Please sit down!" Gu Qingsong said.

Qiao An'an sat down.

Gu Qingsong quickly printed out the payment slip.

Qiao An'an glanced at the time; Lu Yanzhi should be almost done on his end.

She quickly scanned the code to pay and hurriedly turned to walk back.

When I returned to the door of the dressing room, I was somewhat surprised to see Ning Xiaoyuan still there.

"Dr. Ning!"

Ning Xiaoyuan stepped forward, and the two were quite close, causing Qiao An'an to retreat somewhat uncomfortably.

Just then.

The door to the dressing room opened, and unbeknownst to Qiao An'an, the man behind her was looking at them with a jealous expression.

This man is Lu Yanzhi.

He had just had his stitches removed, and the doctor said he was recovering well. But when he opened the door, he saw his sweetheart standing so close to another man...

Meanwhile, another man was looking at her tenderly.

Instantly, Lu Yanzhi felt a surge of jealousy.

But deep down he told himself he couldn't rush things, he couldn't scare her away; he was still pursuing her, and maybe they were just friends...

He discovered, however, that he had no control over it at all.

Seeing her shy around others made his heart ache.

He didn't want others to see her shy expression.

A surge of jealousy welled up inside him, making him feel a chill.

He couldn't help but speak up.

"Goodness!"

Upon hearing the voice, Qiao An was startled and bumped her head into the man's dark eyes.

Her eyes still held the gentleness she was used to, but she felt a chill emanating from him.

She rushed forward, "Ayan, have your stitches been removed? Is anything bothering you?"

Looking into her worried eyes, Lu Yanzhi's gaze softened, and his voice held a hint of grievance, "I thought you had left."

As he spoke, he casually placed his hand around her waist, looked at her, and didn't say anything more.

Ning Xiaoyuan's smile froze for a moment when he saw Lu Yanzhi's suggestive gesture.

Qiao An'an looked at Lu Yanzhi and said, "I didn't leave. I just went to the doctor who treated my wound yesterday and paid the fees."

"Next time you have something else to do, you should let me know beforehand. I'll worry if I don't see you when I go out."

Lu Yanzhi's tone was sullen.

Qiao An'an nodded quickly, "I understand. I'll definitely tell you in advance next time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yanzhi's lips curled up, and he looked at Ning Xiaoyuan, his smugness barely concealed.

Seeing Lu Yanzhi's smug expression, Ning Xiaoyuan's eyes flashed with hostility.

He never expected that Qiao An'an's boyfriend would be a member of the Lu family.

But upon further reflection, Ning Xiaoyuan felt that he was not bad at all.

In terms of appearance, they are about the same; in terms of wealth, they are not too far apart; and in terms of age, he and Qiao An'an are more similar.

Then look at Lu Yanzhi, he's already thirty-two, ten years older than Qiao An'an.

Thinking about it that way, he stopped being angry.

Furthermore, Qiao An'an just said that she came with a friend.

That means their relationship hasn't reached that stage yet.

After figuring it out, Ning Xiaoyuan's eyes regained their confidence.

Then let's compete fairly.

Then, his gaze fell on Qiao An'an's wrist.

"An'an, you're injured. Let me check you over."

Qiao An'an frowned when she heard him address her that way.

Lu Yanzhi's expression darkened. "No need, I will take good care of Guai Guai."

The domineering tone in his voice was truly...

Hearing this tone, Qiao An'an felt that this person was jealous again.

But Ning Xiaoyuan looked directly at Lu Yanzhi, his tone provocative.

"Mr. Lu, please trust the doctor's expertise; I'll handle it better!"

next second.

Qiao An'an sensed the hostility emanating from Lu Yanzhi.

This feeling...

Qiao An'an immediately pictured Lu Yanzhi fighting in her mind. She grabbed his arm and said, "Thank you, Dr. Ning. I just have a scrape. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Ning Xiaoyuan watched their retreating figures and gave a bitter smile.

She left without waiting for his reply.

It seems that the person in Qiao An'an's heart is Lu Yanzhi.

It's okay, he won't give up.

They're not together yet, so there's still a chance.

As long as he's not married, he has a chance.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoyuan smiled as he watched their retreating figures.

Qiao An'an hurriedly pulled Lu Yanzhi away.

Completely unaware, Lu Yanzhi turned back to look at Ning Xiaoyuan with nothing but coldness in his eyes.

Only after they walked out of the hospital did Lu Yanzhi grab Qiao An'an's hand, forcing her to stop.

Qiao An'an turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"

"Wow, do you know that doctor?"

Lu Yanzhi's tone was sour, but he didn't dare to use a questioning tone.

Qiao An'an knew he was jealous, and felt somewhat helpless.

"His name is Ning Xiaoyuan. He was my attending physician when my mother was hospitalized last year. I didn't expect him to be working at this hospital now. We just ran into each other and chatted for a bit."

"Do we need to stand this close just to chat?"

Lu Yanzhi's tone was angry, but his gaze was fixed on her face.

"He doesn't seem like a patient's family member to you."

He was straightforward and held her hand tightly.

"I came out and saw you standing with a man, and they were standing so close together. I'm not happy about it."

Qiao An'an felt a little guilty for a moment; she hadn't done it on purpose.

She looked at the jealousy in the man's eyes and knew perfectly well that he had done it on purpose.

But she felt a soft spot in her heart.

She let him hold her hand, and smiled helplessly, "Ayan, are you a vinegar jar?"

"Besides, I'm not familiar with Dr. Ning. Even if we bump into each other and chat for a bit, she might not have those kinds of thoughts."

"I just can't help being jealous." Lu Yanzhi's voice was low, but his tone was domineering.

"I wasn't wrong, my goodness, you're so beautiful, I want to hide you away and not let anyone else see you."

The man's words were blunt, and his gaze was intense. He was still pursuing her, but he also wanted a formal title.

Hearing his domineering declaration, Qiao An'an's heart skipped a beat. She looked away, not daring to look at him.

My heart was filled with sweetness, without a trace of resentment or unease.

She even found Lu Yanzhi adorable.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her, a gentle smile in his eyes. He took her hand and whispered, "Sweetie, weren't you going to treat me to dinner?"

After saying that, Lu Yanzhi took her hand and strode towards the car.

He wanted to tell everyone that this little girl belonged to him, and no one was allowed to touch her.

Qiao An'an let him lead her, feeling a strong sense of security. Her lips curled up, and her heart felt as sweet as honey.

Even after getting into the car, Lu Yanzhi still wouldn't let go, his fingertips firmly gripping her hand.
