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

As soon as Lu Tingnian answered the call, Qiao Luo's anxious voice came from the other end. He frowned and said, "Qiao Luo, it's me."

Hearing that it was Lu Tingnian's voice, Qiao Luo finally felt relieved.

“Lu Tingnian, why aren’t you answering the phone? Where have you been? Why haven’t you come home yet? Do you know how worried I am about you?”

Qiao Luo asked a series of questions and expressed her concern for him. Lu Tingnian's anger subsided by more than half. He replied to her in a very gentle voice, "I'm fine. My phone was on silent and I didn't hear it. Don't worry, I'll be back right away."

"Okay, then come back quickly, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner."

Qiao Luo hung up the phone after speaking.

Lu Tingnian listened to the dial tone before handing the phone back to Han Jian. He then said to Han Jian, "Pass down the word that the senior executives involved should be demoted and given a reprimand. If anyone dares to commit the offense again, we will not tolerate it."

"Yes."

With the punishment finally handed down, Han Jian was finally relieved.

After ending her call with Lu Tingnian, Qiao Luo waited for him at her doorstep.

Sure enough, Han Jian's car arrived shortly afterward.

Seeing this, Qiao Luo quickly went to greet her.

As soon as Lu Tingnian opened the car door, he saw Qiao Luo's anxious face. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Have you been waiting at the door the whole time?"

Qiao Luo nodded and helped him out of the car. Although she had already received his explanation, she still couldn't help but complain, "If you have to go out in the future, just tell me in advance so I won't worry when I come back and you're not home."

Lu Tingnian nodded in agreement.

With Han Jian present, Qiao Luo couldn't scold him too much, and simply said,

"go in."

She turned back and called Han Jian to come along, since it was so late and she wanted to trouble him.

Han Jian quickly declined; given the circumstances, he dared not stay and become a third wheel.

Qiao Luo didn't insist. After watching Han Jian leave, she pushed Lu Tingnian inside.

The food on the table had gotten a little cold, so she asked Sister Zhang to heat it up before turning to Lu Tingnian and asking, "Did you go out all day for something important?"

Qiao Luo voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.

In her view, what could be more important for a person who was about to die than recuperating, especially since it would take a whole day?

Therefore, she concluded that he must have something important to deal with.

Lu Tingnian had anticipated that Qiao Luo would ask this question. After all, he was gone for a whole day, and if he stayed out for too long, Qiao Luo would definitely notice something was amiss.

So he delivered the speech he had prepared beforehand.

"It was indeed important, but it's all taken care of now, so you don't need to worry."

Hearing him say that, Qiao Luo didn't doubt it. She just said, "It's good that it's all taken care of. However, you shouldn't go out too often in the future. After all, nothing is more important than your health."

Lu Tingnian nodded in agreement.

Soon after, Sister Zhang heated up the food and brought it up. Qiao Luo helped Lu Tingnian eat.

During the meal, Lu Tingnian noticed that she ate very little in the evening and seemed preoccupied. After dinner, he asked her, puzzled, "You seem to be in a bad mood today."

Qiao Luo was a little surprised when Lu Tingnian asked her that question. Was she that obvious?

"is a bit."

Since he had figured it out, Qiao Luo didn't try to hide it anymore.

Hearing her say that, Lu Tingnian said again, "Why don't you tell me?"

Qiao Luo didn't want him to know about her unpleasant experiences at work, but she really wanted to talk to someone about her frustrations, so she recounted how her boss had misunderstood her.

"Tell me, how could I possibly have a powerful backer? Doesn't she ever consider that if I had a powerful backer, I wouldn't have to put up with all her humiliation?"
