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

"However, I think that even though you helped, you still have to pay them back. Why don't you find some time to ask how much it costs so I can pay them back?"

Qiao Luo had considered asking Sister Zhang herself, but felt it was inappropriate to do so. After all, Sister Zhang was someone Han Jian had found. If she rashly asked and it reached Han Jian's ears, it would inevitably make Han Jian mistakenly think that she did not trust him.

To avoid such a misunderstanding, Qiao Luo still felt that Lu Tingnian should handle this matter. They were friends, and it would be easier for him to speak up.

She was completely unaware that she had disrupted Lu Tingnian's rhythm.

Lu Tingnian originally wanted to subtly remind Qiao Luo to sleep separately for the time being, since if she touched his leg again tonight, he would never be able to heal properly. He didn't want to end up with one leg longer than the other. However, before he could finish speaking, Qiao Luo interrupted him.

The rhythm was suddenly disrupted, and Lu Tingnian frowned slightly, but he still answered Qiao Luo's question seriously.

"I'll see to it."

"Okay. Oh, right, what were you about to say?" Qiao Luo suddenly remembered, her big, bright eyes looking over. Meeting her gaze, Lu Tingnian suddenly found himself speechless.

How could he bear to tell his delicate wife to sleep in separate beds?

"……fine."

Qiao Luo didn't suspect anything. She glanced at the time and said, "You should go to sleep early."

After she finished speaking, she got up to leave, but Lu Tingnian called out to her, "Where are you going?"

Qiao Luo was taken aback for a moment before remembering to explain, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm sleeping in the study next door tonight."

"study?"

"Yes, I have some work to take care of, so it might be a bit late."

She was afraid of disturbing him.

Lu Tingnian didn't say anything more after hearing this, only reminding her not to stay up too late.

Qiao Luo nodded in agreement, then went back to tuck the blanket around him before turning to leave.

After she left, Lu Tingnian visibly breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally able to avoid her "Shadowless Kick" (a martial arts technique). However, he would have to sleep alone.

He sighed inwardly; there was nothing he could do about it.

After entering the study, Qiao Luo turned on her work computer and began working.

In the afternoon, she received a call from her boss, ordering her to return to work the next day to cancel her leave.

Qiao Luo asked her boss for the reason. Although she had Sister Zhang as a helper, she still felt that she needed to stay at home for a couple more days, but her boss's reply was very forceful.

She warned Qiao Luo: "Qiao Luo, the company hired you to create value, not to let you flaunt your private affairs around the company. If you still can't figure out what you're here for, you should leave as soon as possible."

Qiao Luo guessed that her boss was furious on the phone because news of Gu Qiyan handing out wedding candy at the company that morning had reached her boss, which caused her dissatisfaction.

After all, her boss was the most eager to get married. She wanted to go on blind dates every single day of the year. But strangely enough, she was already over thirty and still hadn't managed to get married. Her reputation for being desperate to get married was well-known throughout the magazine.

Normally, let alone anyone daring to hand out wedding candy in their department, even if a subordinate with a boyfriend or girlfriend shows affection and she sees it, she will make sarcastic remarks or even target them.

Her colleagues privately called her an old hag, an old hag who would never get married.

If it were in the past, Qiao Luo might have retorted a few words to her.

But things are different now. With Lu Tingnian as her responsibility, she has to endure even the biggest problems, because she needs the money and the job.
