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

Qiao An'an panicked, tears welling up in her eyes.

"She...I..." Qiao An'an could barely speak.

"She's my best friend. If she finds out I'm with her dad, she'll definitely cut ties with me."

The more she talked, the more frightened she became, and tears streamed down her face.

On one side is her best friend, and on the other is the person she likes...

She dared not imagine what would happen.

"I'm afraid... Could we wait a little longer...?"

Qiao An'an lowered her head; she didn't want to face it.

She couldn't bear to lose her only good friend, and she was also afraid of the gossip.

Seeing her frightened expression, Lu Yanzhi's heart softened instantly.

"Don't cry, sweetie, we won't say anything more."

He lowered his head and planted a kiss on her lips.

"We'll talk when you're ready."

"We'll talk when you're ready."

Upon hearing this...

Qiao An'an finally breathed a sigh of relief, but tears still kept falling.

"Ayan, I'm sorry..."

Lu Yanzhi raised his hand and gently stroked her back to comfort her, "I'm fine, at worst I'll be recognized later."

Looking at her, Lu Yanzhi tightened his arms around her, his voice low and deep. "My dear, I've sacrificed so much, shouldn't you compensate me for my wounded heart?"

Qiao An'an was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with reddened eyes, "Compensation?"

Lu Yanzhi lowered his head and kissed her lips repeatedly.

"Then from now on, my sweeties, come up here and have dinner with me."

Qiao An'an quickly shook her head, "No, what if someone sees us..."

"If you see it, you see it."

Lu Yanzhi said calmly, "I'm the boss. It's normal procedure for me to send someone to report on their work and deliver the project materials I need."

"But who goes to the CEO's office every day?"

Qiao An'an disagreed.

"Sweetie, just say yes!"

Lu Yanzhi pulled her into his arms, buried his head in her neck, and spoke in a coquettish tone.

"I miss you whenever I can't see you. I only get to see you for a short while during lunch at work. Please say yes."

Qiao An'an felt uneasy because of him.

"That can't be done."

"No, I want it!"

Lu Yanzhi also stubbornly insisted on ultrasound.

"I just want to have lunch with you every day."

"Don't go too far."

She did refuse, but her tone lacked any confidence.

Lu Yanzhi pinched her chin, making her look at him.

His gaze was so intense that it was impossible to resist.

"From now on, you'll come to have lunch with me every day, take a nap together, and wait for me to leave work together in the afternoon."

Listen to the domineering and forceful tone in the man's voice.

Qiao An'an was completely stunned.

"Afternoon...afternoon nap?"

Her face instantly flushed. "No, no, I don't want to."

"There's a lounge here. I can only fall asleep holding you, otherwise I'll have a headache this afternoon."

"What if someone finds out..."

Lu Yanzhi interrupted her, his voice carrying a seductive tone.

"Sweetie, you're so tired from work. I'll prepare a nutritious lunch for you and feed you. If you rest well at noon, you'll have the energy to work in the afternoon. Besides, isn't it nice to see me as soon as you open your eyes?"

Qiao An'an's heart was pounding.

"But what if someone finds out?"

Lu Yanzhi's tone turned serious. "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to say anything. You just need to come up every day, eat well, and keep me company during my afternoon nap."

After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Qiao An'an clutched his shirt tightly at his chest. "Can't you offer some kind of compensation?"

"No." Lu Yanzhi's tone was forceful. "Either you come up here for lunch and a nap, or I'll go down and carry you up here every day for lunch and a nap."

Upon hearing this...

Qiao An'an's eyes widened.

"Lu Yanzhi, you're threatening me again!"

"Yeah, I threatened you!" Lu Yanzhi said, his tone softening again. "Sweetie, just say yes, I just want to stay with you."

His voice was deep and resonant, carrying both possessiveness and dependence.

"I just want to hold you while I sleep, otherwise I can't fall asleep."

Qiao An'an bit her lip.

This man knew her soft heart all too well. "You're pushing your luck..."

"I'll only push my luck with you."

Lu Yanzhi laughed out loud, "Then I'll take it as a good boy's agreement."

Qiao An'an's cheeks flushed red, her eyes darting around in a panic. "How can I refuse?"

"cannot."

"It's settled then, it's just a lunch break, nothing else is allowed..."

Lu Yanzhi smiled with satisfaction upon hearing her words.

"That's so sweet!"

He held her in his arms, his voice gentle.

"From now on, I'll wait for you to come up every day."

Qiao An'an buried her head in his chest, her cheeks burning, and her heart pounding for a long time.

She could have refused, but he was so domineering that she still fell for him.

"You promised you wouldn't bully me."

Lu Yanzhi laughed when he saw her shy expression. "Okay, I won't tease you."

"I'm too busy spoiling you."

Qiao An'an was so charmed by his tone and sweet words that she had no strength to resist.

Lu Yanzhi's gaze fell on her lips and slowly moved down until he kissed her.

After a long while, Lu Yanzhi finally released her.

"Goodness, from now on you can just take the elevator up. Use this card to take the president's private elevator. I'll have Zhao Dong arrange it."

Qiao An'an nestled in his arms and softly hummed in agreement.

next second.

Lu Yanzhi picked her up and strode towards the lounge in the office.

Qiao An'an blushed. "I can walk by myself."

"Aren't your legs tired?"

Lu Yanzhi looked at her, put her on the bed, and then lay down himself, pulling her into his arms.

Qiao An'an was so nervous that she dared not move.

Lu Yanzhi put his arm around her waist. "Go to sleep."

Qiao An'an listened to his steady heartbeat.

The tension from before gradually dissipated.

Before long, Qiao An'an drifted off to sleep.

Lu Yanzhi looked down at the sleeping person, whose obedient appearance made him stiffen.

He just watched her sleep.

He didn't want to wake her up until it was almost time for him to go to work.

Lu Yanzhi gently kissed her lips.

Just then, Qiao An'an opened her eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

The sensation on Qiao An'an's lips was still there, and she blushed instantly.

After realizing what was happening, she tried to back away, but Lu Yanzhi pulled her into his arms.

Did I wake you up?

Qiao An'an lowered her eyes in a panic, "No...no..."

Lu Yanzhi's gaze deepened as he looked at her. He stroked her cheek, his voice hoarse yet captivating.

"Sweetheart, I want you."

Qiao An'an trembled, her heart pounding. "I...I...you promised you wouldn't bully me."

I didn't bully you.

Lu Yanzhi chuckled softly, "You're just too alluring."

Qiao An'an looked up at him.

Lu Yanzhi leaned down, unable to resist any longer, and covered her lips with his.
