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

"You think there's no need to explain?"

She stammered for a long time without being able to speak, so Lu Tingnian simply answered for her.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo fell silent; that was indeed what she thought as well.

Lu Tingnian had already anticipated this; he had guessed it when he stopped her at the door of the study, but he still wouldn't give up.

Even as he followed her, he still hoped that she would remember him, remember that he was her husband, remember that they were husband and wife, and even remember that he was the man who could shelter her from the wind and rain.

But the truth is she didn't; not only did she not have it, she had completely forgotten about it.

Even in such a crisis, she never thought of calling him for help.

So, he really has no presence in her heart?

Lu Tingnian couldn't say whether he was disappointed or sad, but he was certain that his heart was filled with heartache.

He felt sorry for Qiao Luo, a woman who always liked to shoulder everything on her own, no matter what happened. She was like that before, and she is still like that now, even after they were officially married.

The passage of time seems to have left no trace on her; it seems that only her small body has changed.

But Lu Tingnian felt that she shouldn't have done that.

"Or do you think I have no right to know?"

This sentence undoubtedly dealt a blow to Qiao Luo's spirit.

"not like this."

She quickly explained, her anxious expression already noticed by Lu Tingnian.

"what is that?"

He was patiently guiding her to answer his questions.

Qiao Luo wanted to answer him because she didn't want Lu Tingnian to misunderstand. Although she didn't intend to explain to him or tell him about it, the reason wasn't because he said she wasn't qualified to know.

Instead, she felt she shouldn't bother him anymore. After all, she already owed him enough, more than she could ever repay in this lifetime, so how could she bear to add any more burdens to him?

Moreover, it's such a dangerous thing.

However, she didn't know how to explain it to him.

So she paused and said, "Lu Tingnian, I'm sorry, I was wrong this time, but if I had to choose again, I would still do the same thing, even if you resent me, are angry with me, or hate me."

Her eyes were very determined; since she couldn't explain it, she simply spoke her mind.

Lu Tingnian was somewhat surprised by her firm answer.

"Why?" he demanded.

Qiao Luo didn't answer immediately, but walked to his side and slowly squatted down in front of him.

Do you know the definition of home?

Lu Tingnian didn't understand why she asked that question, and just stared at her.

Qiao Luo continued, "Home is a place that shelters you from the wind and rain, a warm harbor, a place where you can rest peacefully when you're tired. And the family members living there need stability, happiness, and joy. Lu Tingnian, since I brought you into this home, I have to be responsible for you and provide you with this kind of life, even if my abilities are limited, I will do my best. I don't want you to live in fear with me, or be consumed by these endless things. I hope you can be happy."

Even if it's just fleeting happiness, don't let it consume you within your limited lifespan; that will only increase your suffering.

Qiao added in her mind.

Lu Tingnian listened quietly to her definition of family and her responsibilities and commitments to life. But despite all she said, she never mentioned that he was also a part of this family.

He should be involved in everything and should also take on the responsibilities he should bear.

Thinking this, he slowly opened his mouth.

"You're right, home is a place to shelter people from the wind and rain, but how do you know I'm not willing to be the one to shelter you from the wind and rain?"
