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

Qiao Luo then asked, "It's like this, I heard that Lu Tingnian has been going to the same place with you every day recently, and I want to know what he does there every day."

This was a question that Qiao Luo hesitated for a long time before deciding to ask.

Having failed to find the answer she wanted at the restaurant, she decided to call Han Jin to ask him what Lu Tingnian was doing every day when he went out with Han Jian, and whether, as she suspected, he was reluctant to give up his job.

If so, could she find a way to help him?

If not, then why did he do that?

Han Jian hadn't expected Qiao Luo to ask about this, but her "I heard" still put him on alert. Of course, he also knew very well who had told Qiao Luo, but he had to answer this question carefully.

So he turned to Qiao Luo and said, "Miss Qiao, why don't you ask Brother Nian yourself?"

Qiao Luo was not surprised at all by Han Jian's question.

She had thought about asking Lu Tingnian directly, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. At the restaurant, the limit of what she could ask him was by subtly probing him.

She was terrified of directly confronting Lu Tingnian on this topic; she was afraid of hearing his answer, because she couldn't bear it.

She thought that if she heard it from Han Jian, she might feel better.

But she couldn't explain the reason clearly.

So she paused for a moment and said, "I did think about asking him, but as you know, he might not tell the truth about our relationship. Besides, not everything can be said openly between husband and wife."

She thought Han Jian would understand.

“Of course, if it’s inconvenient for you, just pretend I didn’t ask,” Qiao Luo added.

Han Jian, being a bachelor, naturally didn't understand the intricacies between these couples, but one thing he was certain of was that President Lu cared a lot about Miss Qiao.

However, he has no say in this matter.

So he said,

"I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, I think it would be better if you asked Brother Nian about this yourself."

Qiao Luo was quite disappointed that she couldn't get an answer from Han Jian, but she didn't blame him, since he had his own reasons.

However, she still said to Han Jian:

"I thank you anyway, but could you please keep this a secret?"

She didn't want Lu Tingnian to know.

Han Jian: "..."

Before he could answer, the sound of a door opening came from behind him, and Lu Tingnian stepped out in his wheelchair.

Seeing this, Han Jian casually agreed and hung up the phone.

"Mr. Lu."

He hurried to help Lu Tingnian push his wheelchair.

Seeing that he looked a little awkward, Lu Tingnian frowned and asked,

"Who's calling?"

Han Jian naturally dared not hide it, "It belongs to Miss Qiao."

Was that a call from Qiao Luo?

Lu Tingnian's first reaction was to check his phone. He thought Qiao Luo had gone to Han Jian because she couldn't find him, but he couldn't find any missed calls from Qiao Luo no matter how many times he looked at them.

So, Qiao Luo made this call specifically to Han Jian?

He couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and frowned.

"What does she want with you?"

Han Jian wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that President Lu's words sounded a bit sarcastic.

However, he still answered truthfully, "Miss Qiao asked me about your frequent visits to the company lately."

"What do you say?" Lu Tingnian asked.

Han Jian: "I told her to ask you, but she seemed a little hesitant."

Lu Tingnian frowned. He then explained why she had suddenly brought up clothing style during dinner; it turned out to be because of this.

Lu Tingnian didn't press the matter further, but instead thought of something else.

"Is that guy surnamed Gu still hanging around lately?"

Han Jian, "Sometimes he follows, sometimes he doesn't. However, according to the building's security guards, the man surnamed Gu has been inquiring about your position recently. However, he doesn't know your full name, only that your surname is Lu, and that you're in a wheelchair."
