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

Lu Hanlin continued, "Did you really think I knew nothing about all the commotion you caused before?"

Lu Tingnian: "..."

"Let me tell you, no one in Jiang City dares to touch my Lu family. Even if they do, they'll be skinned alive. If you don't have the guts, don't call yourself my son."

With that, he turned and went back to his car, leaning on his cane.

Lu Tingnian stared blankly at his figure getting into the car until Uncle Wang walked towards him with a leather bag in his hand.

"Young master, this is what the master asked me to give you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian looked over in confusion, "This is..."

Uncle Wang: "You'll know once you open it and take a look."

Hearing him say that, Lu Tingnian opened the leather bag, but was stunned when he saw what was inside.

"Uncle Wang, this..."

“Young Master, all these years you’ve blamed Master for being heartless and not agreeing to the kidnappers’ demands to save you. But do you know that if Master had agreed to those kidnappers’ demands, it would have truly led you to your doom? The reason Master did that back then was to protect you, so that at least they wouldn’t really take your life before they got what they wanted. But if they had given them what they wanted, that would have been your death.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian fell silent.

Uncle Wang continued, "Master is a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Over the years, he has always thought of you, but unfortunately, you have always hated him and refused to come back to see him. Master knows all this, but he just won't explain a word. He always feels that one day you will understand his good intentions, but..."

At this point, Uncle Wang paused helplessly before continuing, "He never expected that you would get into trouble. Just a few days ago, you risked your life to save the young mistress and injured yourself. Only then did the master truly understand that life has too many unknowns. Rather than waiting like this, it's better to take the initiative to resolve and explain. These acquired shares are his greatest apology to you. He hopes that you can consider his advanced age and declining health and not hold a grudge against him anymore. Young master, I'm begging you."

As Uncle Wang spoke, he bowed deeply to him.

Seeing this, Lu Tingnian quickly helped him up, saying, "Uncle Wang, please don't do this, I can't bear it."

"Master..."

Before Uncle Wang could say anything, Lu Hanlin interrupted him from inside the car, saying, "Old Wang, what's wrong with you? I asked you to deliver something, and you're chatting away. Hurry up and get in the car and drive away."

Lu Hanlin complained through the car window.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang had no choice but to retract his words and said to Lu Tingnian, "Young Master, think it over carefully."

After saying that, he quickly replied, "Coming," and hurriedly walked towards the car.

Not long after, the car drove away.

Lu Tingnian stared at the departing car, his brow furrowed.

"So? What did the old man say?"

Qiao Luo was overjoyed when Lu Tingnian finally came in from outside, and she quickly went to greet him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian did not answer immediately, but instead turned his gaze to the leather bag in his hand.

Qiao Luo didn't notice his action; she assumed he had suffered some kind of blow, so she asked again.

"What? Is he still against us being together?"

Lu Tingnian still didn't answer, but he placed the leather bag in his hand into Qiao Luo's hand.

"What is this?" Qiao Luo asked, puzzled.

Lu Tingnian: "You'll know once you open it."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo opened the leather bag, only to be stunned by what she saw inside.

"This is……"

“These are the stocks I sold off earlier,” Lu Tingnian explained.

Qiao Luo still looked puzzled.

He continued, "I thought those stocks had already been bought by those people, but I never expected that they were all in my father's hands."

When Lu Tingnian talked about this, he felt a mix of emotions. He had always thought that his father was a cold and selfish person who would never consider others, but he never expected that his father would buy these stocks for him.

Although he didn't actually need it, he was still touched.

He explained it very clearly: when he sold the stocks, Lu Hanlin ordered someone to buy them back, and Qiao Luo naturally understood.

"So you mean your father bought these stocks and then gave them back to you?"

She concluded.

Lu Tingnian nodded.

"But what does this have to do with whether he opposes us being together? Is he threatening you with these shares?"

Qiao Luo suddenly thought of something and said.

Seeing that she was misunderstanding more and more, Lu Tingnian quickly explained, "No."

"That is……"

Lu Tingnian didn't know how to explain this matter. After all, the conflict between him and his father stemmed from that old incident. Although the misunderstandings had been resolved, he still harbored some resentment.

"In short, my father no longer objects to our relationship."

Lu Tingnian said.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo was taken aback. "Are you serious?"

Lu Tingnian nodded.

"Yay! That's great! Does this mean we'll never be separated again?"

Qiao Luo jumped up with joy.

She laughed so freely, like a child.
