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

Before he could answer, Sister Zhang, who was pushing the wheelchair behind him, said, "The gentleman was worried because you hadn't gone home for a long time, so he asked me to push you out to look for you."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo looked somewhat apologetic and quickly said, "I'm fine. Something came up and I was delayed for a while. Let's go back."

As she was speaking, she was about to push Lu Tingnian, but he stopped her.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

He noticed that she looked a little pale and seemed somewhat distracted when she saw him.

Qiao Luo was still a little shaken, afraid that Gu Qiyan would catch up with them, so she quickly said, "It's nothing, let's go home."

As she spoke, she walked behind Lu Tingnian and pushed him away hastily.

As soon as the two left, Gu Qiyan emerged from the alley, clutching his blood-soaked head, and clenched his fists as he watched them depart.

"By the way, if you encounter this situation again in the future, just give me a call. You don't need to come looking for me. It's too late, and you're likely to get hurt if you go out like this."

After returning home, Qiao Luo remembered to give Lu Tingnian some more instructions.

Lu Tingnian then spoke calmly.

"Yes, I'll be more careful in the future."

His gaze inadvertently fell on a bloody mark on her palm, and he frowned, asking, "What happened to your hand?"

Qiao Luo then realized that her hand was injured, thinking that it might have been from when she hit Gu Qiyan earlier. She quickly said...

"It's nothing, it was just too dark, I bumped into it by accident."

Her appearance didn't seem like an accidental bump, but since Qiao Luo didn't want to talk about it, he didn't press her further. He turned around, steered his wheelchair out, and returned shortly after with a first-aid kit.

"Give me your hand."

Lu Tingnian opened the first-aid kit, took out the necessary medicines, and reached out to him.

Qiao Luo hesitated for a moment before reaching out her hand.

Lu Tingnian looked at the wound and saw that it wasn't deep, as if it had been scraped by a hard object. He disinfected it with alcohol and then put a band-aid on the wound before instructing, "Be careful not to get it wet."

Qiao Luo nodded, noticing that his gaze was somewhat ambiguous, making her uneasy and afraid that he would discover something. She quickly said, "You should rest first, I still have work to finish."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but was stopped by Lu Tingnian.

"Still staying in the study tonight?"

Qiao Luo was stunned. To be honest, she hadn't planned to stay in the study tonight, since there wasn't much work left. But after what had just happened, she was still a little shaken.

"I……"

"Be careful not to stay out too late."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Tingnian spoke up.

Qiao Luo finally felt relieved. "I will be careful."

She turned and left the bedroom.

No sooner had she left than Lu Tingnian called Han Jian.

"Go look in the alley at the village entrance and see if there are any security cameras there. I want to know what happened there tonight."

After giving instructions to Han Jian, Lu Tingnian turned his thoughts back to Qiao Luo.

She wouldn't go out late at night for no reason, much less get hurt for no reason.

……

Qiao Luo was restless all night because of what had happened. Although she hadn't suffered any real harm, the scene was so terrifying that she couldn't sleep until late at night.

Especially when you think about Gu Qiyan's motives, why did he do that? Was it just because she didn't marry him and married someone else instead?

But the Gu Qiyan she knew was not like that. He might be selfish or greedy, but he wouldn't be so extreme, or even so vicious.

Qiao Luo felt uneasy whenever she thought of his face, which seemed like a completely different person.

This state continued until the next morning; she was still somewhat absent-minded while eating breakfast.

Lu Tingnian had observed her condition closely. At the end, he asked Qiao Luo, "Are you feeling unwell? Should I ask Han Jian to call in sick for you?"
