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

"What are you doing? Haven't you heard of a lamb entering a tiger's den? You've fallen into our wolf's lair today."

As the man spoke, he stepped forward. Qiao Luo sensed danger and retreated, but she was not familiar with the place and had no chance of escaping.

"You... don't come any closer, or I'll get rough with you."

As she spoke, she pulled out a bottle of pepper spray from somewhere, thinking it would intimidate the other party. However, to her surprise, the other party was not afraid at all and even mocked her for it.

"Oh dear, I'm so scared!"

The man then made a few exaggerated gestures, which caused the people behind him to burst into laughter.

Hearing the laughter, Qiao Luo became even more nervous, and even the hand holding the bottle began to tremble.

"You... don't go any closer, or I really won't be polite," she warned again, mustering her courage.

The man continued to do as he pleased.

"Is that so? I'd like to see how impolite you really are."

As he was about to pounce, Qiao Luo, in a panic, sprayed the man with a torrent of saliva.

The pepper spray inside burned the area where it hit, and the man screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Upon seeing this, the two henchmen rushed forward. Although they were inevitably injured by Qiao Luo's pepper spray, their injuries were far less severe than those of Brother Chen. They snatched the pepper spray from her hand and threw it aside.

Qiao Luo's hands suddenly went empty, and her body was restrained. She tried to break free but couldn't.

"Let me go, let me go..."

"You bitch, it's your good fortune that Brother Chen has taken a liking to you. How dare you resist? You're tired of living!"

The subordinate raised his hand to slap Qiao Luo hard across the face. Qiao Luo herself was mentally prepared to take the slap, but the hand was stopped in mid-air instead of coming down.

With a pitiful scream, Qiao Luo slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw the person standing in front of her, she was completely stunned.

Han Jian? How could it be him?

“Miss Qiao, it’s crowded and chaotic here. To avoid any accidental injury, please go to the car first. Brother Nian is inside.”

Before she could react, Han Jian reminded her.

Lu Tingnian is here too?

Qiao Luo finally snapped out of her shock. Forgetting about how Han Jian ended up there, she turned around and searched for Qiao Yuanzhe in the chaotic crowd. Seeing that he was alone, she quickly grabbed him and ran.

Since her car was required to be parked in a designated spot, which was some distance away, she had no choice but to get into Han Jian's car first, as he had instructed.

As she struggled to help Qiao Yuanzhe across, someone got out of the car to help.

Miss Qiao, let me do it.

Qiao Luo didn't recognize the person, but she could guess that he must have come with Han Jian, so she felt relieved to hand Qiao Yuanzhe over to him.

After helping Qiao Yuanzhe into the car and settling him in, she prepared to get in herself. However, as she opened the car door and was about to sit down, she met Lu Tingnian's gaze. When their eyes met, one was inside the car and the other was outside, one calm and composed while the other was in turmoil, as if they were in two different worlds.

The emotions are somewhat complicated.

"Get in the car now."

Lu Tingnian reminded him in a cold voice.

Qiao Luo reluctantly got into the car.

The atmosphere around Lu Tingnian was so oppressive that she didn't dare get too close, keeping a mere person's distance between them.

The more she acted this way, the angrier Lu Tingnian became.

The van, which was supposed to accommodate seven people, had become incredibly cramped.

Qiao Luo felt extremely uncomfortable, and she hesitated whether to speak first.

Lu Tingnian spoke.

"Go to the hospital."

"Yes."

The driver drove the car onto the road.

Qiao Luo was about to say that Han Jian hadn't returned yet, but thinking of Qiao Yuanzhe's injuries, she had to stop herself.

The car drove off quietly.

When Qiao Yuanzhe arrived at the hospital, doctors were already waiting there, and he was taken to the emergency room.

Qiao Luo looked at the closed emergency room door and finally felt relieved.

However, thinking about Qiao Yuanzhe's injuries, she couldn't help but become nervous again.

Just then, Lu Tingnian drove his wheelchair over.

Qiao Luo heard the sound of the wheelchair and looked up in his direction. Her eyes met Lu Tingnian's. She didn't know if she was nervous, guilty, or uneasy. In short, she felt like a child who had done something wrong and had been caught by the teacher. She was flustered and extremely uneasy.

"Um... it's getting late. Why don't you go back to sleep? I can stay here and keep watch by myself."

She didn't know what to say, and after struggling for a while, she finally spoke, taking into account the current situation.

After all, his health is not good, and sleep is very important to him.

Lu Tingnian ignored her and instead moved his wheelchair forward until it stopped directly in front of her before speaking, "Aren't you going to explain to me?"

Qiao Luo was taken aback. Explain?

What is she trying to explain?

She hadn't planned to let him know what happened tonight, but now that he did, she'd just stand there and take the beating; there was nothing to explain.

But she couldn't go back to Lu Tingnian like that.

"I……"
