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

Lin Mei kept saying she had found a powerful backer, which confused Qiao Luo. When had she ever had a powerful backer? She felt Lin Mei had misunderstood something, and quickly added...

"Editor Lin, you must have misunderstood something. I don't have any powerful backers."

"Is that so? If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. Qiao Luo, some things are better left unsaid. If you really think I misunderstood, then I'll just pretend I misunderstood." Lin Mei was clearly unwilling to bring it up again, and Qiao Luo returned to her seat, seething with anger.

As soon as she sat down, Bai Ge came up to her.

"What's wrong? You look terrible."

Qiao Luo got angry just thinking about it. What did Lin Mei mean? Didn't she think that Qiao Luo had a powerful backer?

But where does she get her backing? If she really had a backer, she wouldn't have to put up with this humiliation.

However, when Bai Ge asked her about it, she did not tell him the truth. After all, the interpersonal relationships in the office were complicated, and if it got out, it might become true, and she would be even more unable to defend herself.

So she replied to Bai Ge, "It's nothing."

Fortunately, Bai Ge didn't ask any further questions.

In the evening, Qiao Luo had nothing to do, so she left work early. When she got home, Lu Tingnian wasn't there. She glanced at the time and wondered why he was always home when she came back. Just as Qiao Luo was wondering, Sister Zhang came over.

"Miss Qiao, is there anything you'd like to eat tonight?"

Qiao Luo had originally wanted to come back to be with Lu Tingnian as soon as possible, but she didn't expect him to be gone. She lost her mood and simply said, "You can arrange it as you see fit."

Sister Zhang nodded and turned to leave when Qiao Luo suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, when did the master leave?"

Sister Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Probably in the morning."

"In the morning?" Qiao Luo asked in surprise. Did that mean he hadn't been back all day?

"Do you know where he went?" Qiao Luo quickly asked again.

Sister Zhang shook her head. "This gentleman didn't say."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo didn't ask any further questions, but a question arose in her mind: was Lu Tingnian like this every day or only today? After all, every time she called him, he was outside. But what was the reason for a seriously ill patient like him to always be out?

Unable to figure it out, Qiao Luo simply called Lu Tingnian. She originally intended to ask him when he would be back, but the line went dead and no one answered.

Qiao Luo was getting anxious, so she simply called Han Jian instead.

When Han Jian received the call from Qiao Luo, he was following Lu Tingnian, his steps trembling.

Today, Lu Tingnian was furious at the company because a senior executive had leaked the progress of technological research and development to outsiders without his consent. Fortunately, it wasn't a critical issue and didn't cause any losses to the company.

But Lu Tingnian had already made a grave mistake. He always placed the utmost importance on the confidentiality of the research and development phase, and this error was undoubtedly stepping into his minefield.

Han Jian noticed that Cai had been wearing a dark expression ever since he came out of the meeting room. He was worried that Cai's anger would harm his health, since Cai had just gone through a car accident and his legs had not fully recovered. Just as Han Jian was hesitating whether to say a few words of advice, Qiao Luo called.

Han Jian felt as if he had found a savior.

"Mr. Lu, it's Miss Qiao on the phone."

Lu Tingnian was still angry, but when he heard that it was Qiao Luo calling, his expression softened a lot. He then gestured for Han Jian to give him the phone.

Han Jian then stepped forward shakily.

"Mr. Han, do you know where Lu Tingnian is now? If you do, please give me an address so I can go find him."
