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

Chapter 23 You think I'm like you, a beast?

When the topic of last night came up, Lu Tingnian's brows furrowed involuntarily.

He couldn't sleep for the first half of the night, after all, he had Qiao Luo as a temptation. Later, he finally fell asleep, but was kicked awake by Qiao Luo.

Last night, Qiao Luo said she was a bad sleeper and was afraid of bumping into him. He thought it was just an excuse she made up out of shyness, but he didn't expect it to be true.

He was in pain all night from that kick and didn't fall asleep until dawn.

"How does it feel here?" Sangzan pinched his knee again.

Lu Tingnian raised an eyebrow. "Numb."

"It's numb, that's good. Be careful lately. If you want to get better quickly, you have to listen to my advice. Don't do any strenuous exercise for now. If you really can't resist, let your wife take the initiative. You can just lie there and enjoy it."

Sangzan gave him a knowing look as he spoke.

Lu Tingnian glared at him speechlessly.

"You think I'm like you, some kind of beast?"

Sangzan's lips twitched.

"That's hard to say. Some people, even after a car accident, still manage to get married. And not only that, they want me to help them scam people. Han Jian, what do you think Miss Qiao will do if she finds out she's been taken advantage of?"

Han Jian looked completely innocent.

"I didn't say anything."

"You don't need to tell me, you can figure it out just by thinking about it. But I'm curious, why her? Is it because she hit you?"

Sang Zan couldn't understand this matter for several days. What kind of personality does Lu Tingnian have? Even if a fairy fell from the sky into his arms, he might not even give her a second glance. How could he marry someone just because he was bumped into by a woman?

Hearing Sang Zan ask this, Han Jian leaned in to listen, as he also wanted to know.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the courage to ask.

Lu Tingnian glanced at the two gossipy faces. They wanted to pry into his privacy? No way!

However, there is indeed some history behind his whirlwind marriage to Qiao Luo.

He still clearly remembers that rainy night many years ago, the scene when he first met Qiao Luo. That night, she was wearing a floral dress, her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and in the rain, her black leather shoes were uneven, and she walked unsteadily, just like that, she came into his sight.

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Lu Tingnian's reverie. He snapped out of his reverie, glanced at the phone, and saw that it was Qiao Luo calling. He then gestured for them to be quiet before answering.

"Hey, where have you been? Why aren't you home? Didn't you see the note I left for you this morning?"

As soon as the call connected, Qiao Luo couldn't help but ask a series of questions. Her voice was urgent, yet cautious.

After all, the two had just gotten married, so even if she was anxious, she had to be careful with her words and tone.

Lu Tingnian recalled the neat handwriting she had left on the bedside table when he woke up that morning.

"Don't worry, I saw the note. I'm out taking care of something."

Not wanting Qiao Luo to worry, he deliberately didn't mention what happened at the hospital.

Qiao Luo didn't think much of it. Considering his limited mobility, she asked again,

"Oh, when are you coming back? Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No need, with Han Jian here, we'll be back soon, hiss..."

A strange sound suddenly came from the receiver, and Qiao Luo's heart tightened. "Hello, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Tingnian tightened his grip on the phone. "It's nothing, I just bumped into it accidentally."

"Be careful, it's not safe outside with so many people around. You should come back quickly."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Tingnian glared at Sang Zan and said, "You did this on purpose."
