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

When his colleagues saw it, they all chuckled, but no one said a word.

As soon as it was time to leave work, Lu Yanzhi walked towards Qiao An'an.

He naturally picked up her bag, took her hand, and asked, "Are you tired?"

Feeling the gazes around her, Qiao An'an whispered, "You don't need to pick me up, I can manage on my own."

"I'm here to pick up my future wife from get off work."

Lu Yanzhi spoke with righteous indignation.

Qiao An'an's face turned even redder, and her heart beat even faster.

In the elevator, Lu Yanzhi pulled her into his arms.

"Would you like me to cook for you tonight, or should we eat out?"

"I'll do whatever you say."

Qiao An'an nestled in his arms, feeling very safe and secure.

Seeing that Qiao An'an no longer resisted him and had completely accepted him, Lu Yanzhi's lips curled up, and his tone was full of doting.

"Then let's go home and I'll cook your favorite food."

"good!"

After returning home, Lu Yanzhi asked her to sit on the sofa and washed some fruit for her.

"Eat something first to fill your stomach, then I'll go cook."

Qiao An'an looked at the man's silhouette in the kitchen; the way he wore an apron was very attractive.

A man who is ruthless and decisive in the business world takes good care of her at home, setting aside all his cunning to cherish and love her. Anyone would be moved by that.

After dinner.

Lu Yanzhi took her for a walk.

Looking at the man's profile, Qiao An'an realized that love could be so beautiful.

Perhaps she accumulated good karma in her past life, which is why she met Lu Yanzhi in this life and received his favor.

After their walk, Qiao An'an wanted to lie down on the sofa.

But Lu Yanzhi picked her up.

Suddenly lifted into the air, Qiao An'an was so frightened that she grabbed his neck.

"Take a bath first, it will make you feel better."

Before she could react, the man had already carried her towards the bathroom.

He had already prepared everything in the bathroom.

Lu Yanzhi tested the water temperature, then turned to look at her. "I'm outside. Call me if you need anything."

Qiao An'an nodded, her face flushed red.

Qiao An'an lay in the bathtub, all the fatigue of the day easing up.

But the next second, her mind was filled with images of the two of them being intimate. She covered her face, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

When she came out of the bath, she saw that Lu Yanzhi had already taken a bath and was sitting on the bed waiting for her.

The man's loose bathrobe revealed his smooth collarbone, which was quite eye-catching.

Qiao An'an instinctively wanted to run away.

Because Lu Yanzhi's eyes were even more profound than last night...

She lowered her head, somewhat flustered, "Tonight...no...don't...I...I'm tired..."

The way she walked today...

Lu Yanzhi was taken aback, then smiled, got out of bed, picked her up, and put her on the bed.

Looking at her blushing face, he couldn't resist teasing her.

"So, my sweetheart wanted it?"

Hearing his lazy, husky voice, Qiao An'an was instantly flustered with embarrassment.

"I...I didn't."

Lu Yanzhi looked at her shy expression and hugged her soft body.

"Sweetie, go to sleep. I'll let you off the hook tonight."

Qiao An'an fell asleep listening to his heartbeat.

I slept without any dreams.

On Saturday morning, Ji An'an woke up and rubbed her lower back.

She looked at the man with an angry expression.

"Knowing you were going to meet your family today, you still acted like that last night."

Lu Yanzhi smiled and gently pulled her into his arms.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist. My darling is just too good, I can't stop myself from getting him."

Upon hearing this, Qiao An'an blushed crimson.

"No... I'm ignoring you, I'm going to change my clothes."

After washing up, Qiao An'an stood in the dressing room, choosing clothes for a long time before finally walking out and looking at Lu Yanzhi.

"Ayan, I don't know what clothes I should wear."

Lu Yanzhi looked at her and noticed her nervousness.

"Don't be nervous, just do what you like, don't worry about anything."

Upon hearing this, Qiao An'an's panicked heart calmed down.

Qiao An'an chose a white dress, simple and elegant.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her, his voice hoarse.

"I don't want to take you there anymore. I really want you to stay in bed forever."

Hearing the man's blunt and unrestrained words, Qiao An'an glared at him coquettishly, "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't talk to you anymore."

Lu Yanzhi reached out and took her hand. "Okay, we won't talk about it now, we'll talk about it tonight."

Qiao An'an never expected that this man had such a bad side.

The car drove all the way to the entrance of the Lu family villa.

Looking at the courtyard in front of her, which clearly belonged to a wealthy and powerful family, Qiao An'an became nervous again.

Lu Yanzhi held her hand in his palm.

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

As soon as I got out of the car, a figure pounced on me.

"mom!"

Lu Zhiyao rushed over and hugged Qiao An'an tightly, laughing heartily.

"I've finally waited for you."

That cry of "Mom!" was so powerful...

Qiao An'an's face turned red instantly.

Seeing her blushing face, Lu Zhiyao explained.

"Today you're officially joining our family, so the hierarchy needs to be a bit more formal. You'll need some time to adjust. But if you're not used to it, I'll call you that in formal settings, and in private I'll still call you An'an, okay?"

Qiao An'an was touched to hear her best friend's thoughtfulness and nodded.

"Thank you!"

Lu Zhiyao waved her hand.

"Don't mention it, we're family!"

Lu Yanzhi smiled with satisfaction, glanced at his daughter, and said, "Don't scare your mother."

"I didn't."

Lu Zhiyao said defiantly, "I'm letting everyone know that no one can bully my stepmother!"

Qiao An'an felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Lu Zhiyao took Qiao An'an's hand and walked into the house.

Upon entering the living room, Qin Nian's eyes lit up when she saw Ji An'an. She immediately got up, walked over, pushed Lu Yanzhi aside, and pulled Qiao An'an to sit down.

"An'an, come and sit down. It's great to see you."

Qiao An'an looked at the smiling old lady in front of her and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Qin Nian couldn't stop smiling.

"An'an is so beautiful, I like her more and more the more I look at her. From now on, we are family. If anyone dares to bully you, tell me and I will deal with them."

Qiao An'an's tense heart instantly calmed down.

"Thank you, Grandma...Auntie!"

Lu Zhiyao, who was standing to the side, blinked and said, "Stepmother, you've got it wrong. You should call me Mom."

Qiao An'an's face flushed instantly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look up.

Qin Nian smiled and said, "Sure, sure."

"But not yet. All the procedures must be followed. We need to wait for both sets of parents to meet and finalize the marriage. At the wedding, I'm waiting for An'an to address me as her new wife. I will definitely prepare a generous gift for her to do so."

Hearing these words of consideration for her, Qiao An'an felt very warm inside.

She hadn't expected that the wealthy old lady wouldn't care about social status at all, and that she would respect her so much, without any of the airs that come with being a wealthy lady.

Lu Zhiyao laughed, "Okay, but I don't care, I've decided that you're my stepmother."

Faced with Lu Zhiyao's skill in using coquetry, Qiao An'an sighed helplessly, "Whatever makes you happy."

Seeing the group of people getting along so well, Lu Yanzhi smiled, his eyes filled with doting affection as he looked at Qiao An'an, but also with deep appreciation.
