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

Chapter 54 Is she gradually starting to believe him?

Qiao Luo spoke very sincerely; that was truly what she thought, and it wasn't an attempt to shirk responsibility.

But after she finished speaking, Lu Tingnian did not react at all. Seeing this, Qiao Luo became a little anxious. She thought that Lu Tingnian did not believe her. Just as she was about to continue to explain, she heard Lu Tingnian slowly say, "You don't need to apologize. You just need to believe me and rely on me."

He spoke very bluntly and directly, but Qiao Luo was stunned.

Trust him, rely on him?

Does he want her to accept him from the bottom of her heart?

"What? You can't do it?"

Lu Tingnian stared at her.

Qiao Luo quickly shook her head. It wasn't that she couldn't do it, but rather that she was never used to relying on anyone, because she had long been accustomed to being alone.

She lives alone and makes decisions on her own, even when it comes to her life's most important matters; she has never thought of consulting anyone.

After all, she has always been alone since she was a child.

Now that he suddenly wants her to trust him and rely on him, how can she adapt immediately?

However, he was the first person to say this to her in all these years; even Gu Qiyan in the past had never said it.

She thought she might give it a try.

However, this is not something that can be done immediately; she needs time.

Thinking this, she said to Lu Tingnian, "I can do it, but I may need some time."

"how long."

Lu Tingnian pressed for more information.

Qiao Luo didn't know either; it might be a day, a month, or a year.

But considering that Lu Tingnian's days were numbered, she couldn't let him wait that long, so she simply said, "I'll try to shorten the time as much as possible."

Hearing her say that, Lu Tingnian did not ask any further questions.

After all, he understood that trusting or relying on someone wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. Instead of pressing her for time, he decided to give her his trust. As the saying goes, sincerity can move mountains; he believed that one day she would accept him from the bottom of her heart.

Thinking this, when Lu Tingnian looked at Qiao Luo again, the tenderness in his eyes returned.

Qiao Luo noticed this as well, and she was relieved to see that Lu Tingnian's complexion had improved considerably.

At this moment, Han Jian returned to the car after finishing his business outside. He said to Lu Tingnian, "Brother Nian, it's all taken care of."

Lu Tingnian nodded, and he subconsciously looked at Qiao Luo.

When she met his gaze, Qiao Luo was a little confused. Before she could ask, the police car and the ambulance arrived at the same time.

Looking at the chaotic scene outside the window, Qiao Luo was somewhat surprised. After all, she had only heard Lu Tingnian say to call an ambulance, but she did not expect him to call the police as well.

But this is for the best. Gu Qiyan has tried to hurt her time and time again, so it's time to teach him a lesson.

Thinking this, Qiao Luo withdrew her gaze and suddenly met Lu Tingnian's eyes. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "You did very well."

She didn't complain or feel sad; instead, she said he did a good job. So, was she gradually starting to believe him?

In the afternoon, Qiao Luo returned to the Qiao family home.

On her way back, she thought a lot. Since she had already promised Lu Tingnian that she would try to accept him from the bottom of her heart, she had to take action.

But before that, she needs to sort out the relationship between the two of them.

Since we need to clarify our relationship, we need to start by separating our interests. There aren't many financial ties between her and Lu Tingnian. Apart from the car accident she owed him, the only other thing she has is the money the Qiao family received.

Although he gave it to her voluntarily, she never considered it voluntarily; she simply felt that her mood had been disturbed and that she had to settle things with money.

She doesn't reject this idea, after all, everyone handles things differently.

But she wouldn't allow it to be her fault, not even indirectly. Besides, he wasn't wealthy to begin with, and that two million should have been borrowed from Han Jian. Although he and Han Jian were friends, Qiao Luo believed that even friends shouldn't lend money casually, especially such a large sum.

Therefore, she went to the Qiao family to get that money back.

With this purpose in mind, she stepped into the Qiao family's gate.

When Qiao Luo arrived at the Qiao family home, Qiao Dahai and Yu Huili were unpacking packages in the yard.
