Married by Accident: The Rich CEO's Deeply Rooted Pampering Tactics

Qiao Luo then came to her senses, "Just arrived."

"Really? Why didn't you call me?"

Lu Tingnian gave a reproachful look.

Qiao Luo smiled but didn't respond. She pushed Lu Tingnian inside, but her mind was still on the money.

What she was thinking was, what if that money wasn't borrowed by Lu Tingnian? Wouldn't he be very embarrassed if she asked him like that?

But she couldn't think of any other way, so she could only remain in this dilemma.

Lu Tingnian noticed something was wrong with her and frowned, asking, "What's wrong? You look so preoccupied."

Qiao Luo was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself: Is it that obvious?

“…No.” She quickly denied it.

"Are you sure?" Lu Tingnian stared at her.

Qiao Luo felt guilty under her gaze, after all, she had just promised him that she would not hide anything from him no matter what happened in the future.

But what could she say about this?

Just as he was wondering, Lu Tingnian spoke up, "Are you trying to ask me about that money?"

He suddenly brought it up, and Qiao Luo was taken aback. "How did you know?"

Her face was full of surprise.

Lu Ting smiled and said, "You've already asked about the bank, how could I not know?"

Qiao Luo felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Then...you lent it to me?"

Lu Tingnian did not deny it.

"Strictly speaking, it's not a loan, it's a gift."

Qiao Luo was taken aback.

Lu Tingnian looked at her stunned eyes and said, "Qiao Luo, you are my wife. It is only natural for a husband to give his wife money."

Although that made sense, Qiao Luo still felt something was amiss.

After all, she knew in her heart that she had no right to ask Lu Tingnian for money.

So she said, "Lu Tingnian, I know everything you've said, but I can't accept that money."

"Why?" Lu Tingnian asked.

Qiao Luo pursed her lips and said, "That money is all earned through your hard work. It should be spent on you and your family, not on me."

"Aren't you my family?" Lu Tingnian retorted.

Qiao Luo was stumped by the question, "I..."

Just as she was wondering what to say, Lu Tingnian interrupted her.

He said, "Qiao Luo, in my heart you are my family."

This sound deeply moved Qiao Luo, especially the word "family".

Over the years, she has rarely felt the meaning of the word "family," not even from her own father, but today he told her that she was his family.

Qiao Luo's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

“Lu Tingnian, I…”

Her tears fell uncontrollably, like beads from a broken string.

Lu Tingnian reached out and gently wiped her face. The more he wiped, the harder she cried. Finally, she couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, throwing herself into his arms.

"Fool, why are you crying?"

Lu Tingnian gently patted her back and sighed.

Qiao Luo didn't know why she was crying, but she just really wanted to cry.

She didn't know how long she cried before she gradually stopped and slowly pulled away from his embrace.

"Lu Tingnian, thank you for treating me like family."

Her voice was still choked with emotion.

Lu Tingnian felt very sorry for her. He couldn't help but cup her red face and slowly move closer until he kissed her red eyes again and again.

"I also want to thank you for acknowledging me as family."

His kisses traveled downwards, across her damp cheeks and reddened nose, finally settling on her trembling lips for a deep kiss.

Qiao Luo did not refuse, and closed her eyes to feel his kiss. It felt as if a feather was gently brushing against her heart, making her tremble all over.

Gradually, my heart rate increased, my breathing became rapid, and even every pore on my body was awakened.

He didn't know how long they kissed before Lu Tingnian slowly released her, but he was already panting heavily. When he kissed Qiao Luo, his body had reacted, and not wanting her to see it, he quickly turned his wheelchair around so that his back was to her.

Qiao Luo was feeling dizzy from the kiss when he suddenly let go of her. At first, she didn't understand what was going on, but when she saw his back, she realized something was wrong.

Thinking she had bumped his injured leg, she quickly went over to ask, only to find his forehead covered in fine sweat, which made her even more worried.

"What's wrong? Is your leg hurting again?"

She was about to squat down to check when he stopped her, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a moment."

Because of his emotional state, his voice was tinged with a hint of desire.

Qiao Luo didn't notice it at first, until she saw his unusually protruding area, and then she belatedly realized what was going on.

Suddenly realizing something, her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly turned around.
