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

"I……"

"Or did you deprive me of this right from the very beginning?"

"I didn't," she quickly retorted.

Lu Tingnian: "If there isn't one, why make the decision for me?"

"I……"

His questioning left Qiao Luo speechless once again.

Lu Tingnian continued,

“Qiao Luo, what you said is all true, but you’ve overlooked one thing, which is my true wish as a family member. Or rather, I’m not just family in your eyes, but also your husband, your support, and the most important person in your life from now on. But you’ve never placed me in that position, which has led to my lack of value. Qiao Luo, this is unfair to me.”

Lu Tingnian spoke in a deep voice.

Although there was not a trace of blame in his words, they hurt Qiao Luo several times more than any reproach.

Because he raised the issue of fairness.

She also wanted to give him fairness, but did he really have fairness in this marriage?

Or perhaps, their union was inherently unfair.

He was the creditor, while she was the one who needed to repay the debt; there was no fairness between them.

But how could she say such words? So she could only keep them deep in her heart, which eventually turned into that helpless "I'm sorry".

She said "I'm sorry" again, and when Lu Tingnian heard it, his face turned ashen, even worse than before.

But no matter how bad his mood was at that moment, it eventually turned into that gentle hug.

He gently pulled her into his arms.

"Qiao Luo, what am I going to do with you?"

A sigh fell softly.

Qiao Luo: "..."

She lay in Lu Tingnian's arms without responding; perhaps sometimes, not responding is the best response.

At that moment, the emergency room door opened from the inside, and several medical staff came out.

Upon hearing the door open, Qiao Luo quickly struggled to get up from Lu Tingnian's arms.

"...Doctor, how is my brother now?"

Her expression was full of tension.

The doctor adjusted the mask around her nose and said to her,

"The patient's wounds have been treated, and he has regained consciousness and is fine now."

Qiao Luo's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"Can we go in now?"

"of course."

"Thank you."

After watching the medical staff leave, Qiao Luo pushed Lu Tingnian inside.

In the ward, Qiao Yuanzhe was awake and lying on the bed in a daze. His forehead was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and his face was covered with red and green ointments. The parts of his body that were covered had also been treated.

When Qiao Luo went in and saw him like this, she felt very sorry for him, especially when she thought about how he had been tortured in the video, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

But she held back her tears and pushed Lu Tingnian over.

"Yuanzhe, are you alright?"

Qiao Yuanzhe slowly turned his head when he heard her voice, and when he saw Qiao Luo in front of him, he was very excited.

"sister."

"Don't move, just lie down."

Seeing that he was about to get up, Qiao Luo quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Qiao Yuanzhe then abandoned the idea of ​​sitting up and fixed his gaze on Lu Tingnian, who was sitting in a wheelchair not far away, his eyes filled with doubt.

Qiao Luo noticed and introduced,

“Yuanzhe, this is your brother-in-law.”

"Brother-in-law?" Qiao Yuanzhe asked in surprise.

Qiao Luo nodded.

"Yes, if your brother-in-law hadn't arrived in time with his men, I probably wouldn't have been able to rescue you so easily."

Qiao Luo told the truth. She wanted Qiao Yuanzhe to understand that his safe release was not something that could be resolved simply by her repaying the money.

Qiao Yuanzhe understood all of this. In fact, he had been conscious all along, but he had been confused by those people.

After all, he hadn't eaten anything properly for several days. They were just feeding him a little milk each day to keep him going, but how could someone his age endure that?

In addition, there was the mental and physical torture.

But he couldn't immediately and wholeheartedly call Lu Tingnian "brother-in-law."

So he simply nodded at him.

"Thanks."

Lu Tingnian didn't take it to heart; after all, he was just a young lad.

He said to Qiao Luo, "I've found a caregiver. It's getting late, let Yuan Zhe get some rest."

The implication was that they should go back.

Qiao Luo nodded and told Qiao Yuanzhe not to think about anything tonight, just to get a good night's sleep. She would come to see him again tomorrow morning. Then she pushed Lu Tingnian away.

They had just arrived at the hospital entrance when Han Jian's car arrived.

"Brother Nian."

Lu Tingnian asked Han Jian, "Is everything handled?"

Han Jian nodded. "There were five people in total, not one missing, and they were all taken back to the police station."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian nodded.

Han Jiancai then said to Qiao Luo, "Miss Qiao, I've already driven your car back. It's parked at the entrance. Please keep the keys safe."

He handed the keys to Qiao Luo, who was taken aback. "How do you have my car keys?"

After all, she hadn't given him the car keys before.
