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

He nuzzled her head, and they moved closer together. They didn't need to do anything; they just embraced, and the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly intimate.

Every breath they took stirred their heartstrings.

At this moment, Qiao An'an didn't want to think about anything else; she just wanted to spend quality time with him.

She felt that perhaps she could stop worrying and take a bolder step forward.

Lu Yanzhi held her in his arms, gently patting her back.

Tomorrow, he will make her the happiest person.

Lu Yanzhi held the person in his arms gently.

Qiao An'an dared not move; she could clearly feel the possessiveness emanating from the man.

Lu Yanzhi's hands moved across her waist one after another, each touch making her tense all over, afraid to relax, her heart pounding like thunder.

"Wow, are you nervous?"

The man's deep, husky voice was close to her ear, his warm breath tickling her ear, filling the room with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Qiao An'an trembled slightly, her voice soft and low.

"No, I didn't."

"Yeah?"

Lu Yanzhi chuckled softly.

"Don't be tense, there's no need to be nervous."

As he spoke, he pulled her closer to him, bringing them even closer together.

Qiao An'an could hear his heartbeat; it was very steady, unlike hers.

Her face flushed instantly, and she said in a muffled voice, "I want to sleep."

Lu Yanzhi stopped teasing her, but showed no intention of letting go of her hand.

"Sweetie, turn around, I want to watch you sleep."

Qiao An'an dared not move.

She was afraid that if she looked into his eyes, she would lose her composure.

Lu Yanzhi hugged her tighter, his voice gentle, "This is fine too."

He held her hand, their fingers intertwined.

Qiao An'an's breath hitched, and even her neck turned pink.

The room was pitch black and quiet, so quiet that even their breathing was amplified.

Qiao An'an felt the warmth of his hand, and the kisses that landed on her head again and again...

Each time, he was restrained yet domineering and forceful, his ambiguity so intense that it made one afraid to even breathe.

Qiao An'an closed her eyes and whispered, "Ayan."

"Um."

He immediately responded.

"Tomorrow we..."

She paused for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

Lu Yanzhi chuckled softly, his breath landing on her forehead.

"We'll find out tomorrow."

Qiao An'an actually felt a sense of anticipation.

She gripped the man's hand tightly.

"Ayan..."

"I am here."

Hearing the man's reassuring tone, Qiao An'an buried her head even deeper.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

In the darkness, the two held hands tightly and fell asleep in each other's arms.

There were no other transgressions, only an unyielding and deep affection.

Qiao An'an was tempted and was testing the waters.

Lu Yanzhi was restraining himself, suppressing his undeniable favoritism.

Lu Yanzhi looked down at the top of Qiao An'an's head, his eyes filled with determination.

He doesn't mind waiting a few more days.

After all, we've waited ten years.

No one knew that she had been in his heart from the moment they first met...

Tomorrow, he will prepare everything so that she will no longer hesitate and will be willing to stay by his side.

I listened as the person in my arms gradually calmed down and started breathing evenly.

Lu Yanzhi, however, remained very clear-headed.

The next day.

As soon as it was light, Qiao An'an woke up. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was the man's hand still around her waist.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she remembered last night…

They slept in each other's arms again, but she slept without a single dream.

Listening to the man's steady heartbeat and feeling his body temperature, Qiao An'an's face flushed.

Their hands were still clasped together, their fingers intertwined.

Qiao An'an smelled the pleasant scent of cedar on the man, which was very alluring.

She subtly moved her hand, intending to get up.

Before she could move much, a low, husky laugh came from behind her, "Good girl, you're awake?"

Qiao An'an's body tensed, her cheeks flushed, and she said in a soft voice, "She's awake."

Lu Yanzhi tightened his arms around her, pulling her close to him. "Trying to run away now that you're awake?"

"No……"

Qiao An'an retorted in a low voice.

"Then let me hug you a little longer."

He chuckled softly.

Hearing the ambiguous tone in the man's voice, Qiao An'an wanted to bury her head even deeper.

"Ayan!"

Her voice was soft and hesitant.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore."

Lu Yanzhi abandoned his teasing intentions, his tone filled with doting affection, "But I can't bear to let go, I really want to hold you forever."

These words struck Qiao An'an like a stone, causing her to lose control of her emotions instantly.

She hesitated for a while, then mustered her courage, slowly turned around, and looked at the man, her eyes immediately meeting his deep gaze.

Lu Yanzhi had just woken up. His face was no longer cold and hard, but lazy. His hair was a little messy, and his eyes were deep, with only her in them.

Lu Yanzhi lowered his head, their noses touching, their breaths mingling.

Qiao An'an instinctively tried to dodge, but the man grabbed her and held her down.

"Sweetie, I want to look at you."

The man's fingertips traced her forehead, then her nose, her cheeks, and finally her lips.

Everywhere they went, Qiao An'an trembled slightly.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her flustered appearance, her moist lips, her Adam's apple bobbing, and the desire surging in her eyes. Those lips...

In the end, he couldn't hold back any longer. He couldn't rush things; he had to wait until she came to him.

"I'm sleeping in a bit more this weekend."

He held her in his arms and kissed her hair.

Qiao An'an obediently leaned against his chest, her tense body slowly relaxing as she smelled his familiar scent, and all her hesitation and entanglement dissipated.

"Sweetie, I'll take you somewhere in a bit."

The man's tone was gentle.

Qiao An'an looked up at the earnestness in his eyes, "Want to go play?"

Lu Yanzhi lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "There's a surprise."

Qiao An'an nodded.

An hour later.

Qiao An'an really couldn't sleep. "Let's get up."

"Okay, let's get up."

Lu Yanzhi got up and went to the bathroom.

When Qiao An'an got up, she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

She got out of bed and walked towards the sink, looking at the toothpaste that had already been squeezed out.

Lu Yanzhi came out of the bathroom and stood behind her. "This is warm water."

Looking at the man's thoughtfulness and consideration, Qiao An'an whispered, "I can do it myself."

Looking at her face, which was flushed red, Lu Yanzhi said, "I'll go change my clothes first."

Qiao An'an nodded quickly.

After she finished washing up, she went to the dressing room and chose a light blue long dress.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I smelled a fragrance.

In the kitchen, Lu Yanzhi was making breakfast.

Hearing the voice, he immediately turned around. "Sweetie, sit down, it'll be ready soon."

Not long after.

Lu Yanzhi then came over carrying two bowls of noodles.

He walked back and forth twice, and placed osmanthus cake, which Qiao An'an loved, on the table.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her, "Try it, how's this noodle?"

Qiao An'an picked up her chopsticks and took a bite; it was delicious.

"tasty!"

Her eyes were bright.
