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

Watching Qiao Luo walk away, Han Jiancai said to Lu Tingnian.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian frowned and asked, "What discovery?"

Han Jian: "After you and Miss Qiao left, I followed you in my car and found that there was another car following behind you. In order to get ahead, it even tried to cut me off. That's why I forced you to get out of the car later."

Han Jian recounted everything that had happened on the road.

Lu Tingnian asked, "Who owns that car?"

"Like you, my car is also rented, but I've already had someone check with the rental company, and I believe we'll have the results soon."

Lu Tingnian nodded, but he didn't tell Qiao Luo about it.

Qiao Luo didn't notice anything wrong, except that the near-car accident made her feel down for a while, but she quickly recovered.

When she went to work on Monday, she was fully recharged.

As usual, after breakfast, she told Lu Tingnian that she was going to work. However, Lu Tingnian did not see her off to the gate as usual. Instead, he changed his clothes and went out with her.

Qiao Luo asked in confusion, "Are you going out?"

Lu Tingnian nodded.

These past few days, he's been leaving almost every day after Qiao Luo leaves, but today is different. There's an important meeting at the company, and he has to get there early.

"I'll have Han Jian come pick you up; you can come too."

Qiao Luo was already used to him ordering Han Jian around so casually.

She thought that perhaps Han Jian felt the same way as her, only wanting to spend the rest of his days with her.

But Han Jian and she are fundamentally different; he acted out of friendship, while she was atoning for her sins.

Compared to Han Jian, Qiao Luo felt inferior; her care for Lu Tingnian was less than a tenth of what Han Jian had done.

This made her feel a little down after seeing Han Jian.

Lu Tingnian noticed that she was silent and walked listlessly, a far cry from her previous demeanor.

"what happened?"

he asks.

Qiao Luo shook her head. "It's nothing. I suddenly remembered that I left a document at home. I'll go get it. You guys go ahead."

"I'm waiting for you."

"No need, the place I'm going to isn't in the same direction as yours."

Lu Tingnian: "..."

Watching her hurried figure run away, Lu Tingnian shook his head helplessly, turned to Han Jian and said, "Let's go."

Han Jian was surprised, "Aren't you going to wait for Miss Qiao?"

"I'm not waiting anymore." She clearly didn't want to go with them, and although she didn't know why, he didn't like forcing people.

Qiao Luo waited until their car had driven far away before leaving home again.

She really didn't want to go with them. Every time she saw Han Jian being at Lu Tingnian's beck and call and showing him great care, she felt more and more useless.

Her devotion to Lu Tingnian couldn't compare to Han Jian's, and she couldn't even compare to Sister Zhang's.

What's the point of talking about atonement and taking care of him?

But she had no choice; she had to keep working, otherwise, she might not even be qualified to give herself to him.

Qiao Luo felt increasingly sad as she thought about it.

There was no time to take the bus, so she had to take a taxi. As soon as she got in the car and gave the driver the address of the magazine, her boss, Lin Mei, called. Qiao Luo answered the phone.

"Hey, Editor Lin."

"Qiao Luo, go to the suburbs right away. There's a problem with the data from one of our surveys. I'll send you the raw data in a bit."

Before she could speak, Lin Mei hung up the phone.

Qiao Luo was speechless for a moment. The survey work in the suburbs was handled by another colleague, whom she was not familiar with at all. Even if there were errors in the data that needed to be corrected, she would have to find someone she knew to go there. If she went there now, she would be like a headless fly bumping around.

But she had no choice but to do the work assigned to her by Lin Mei.

Qiao Luo asked the driver to go to the outskirts of the city instead.

When they arrived at their destination, half an hour had passed. Qiao Luo paid the taxi fare, and she was still feeling the pinch, unsure if Lin Mei would reimburse her.

"Qiao Luo".
