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

Chapter 182 It's inconvenient for her to see.

Qiao Luo was also about to call Lu Tingnian to tell him about this, so she told her colleagues to leave first and she answered the phone a step behind.

"Hey Lu Tingnian, I was just about to call you, why did you call first? Is there something you need?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to invite you to dinner and tell you something," came Lu Tingnian's voice from the other end of the phone.

Qiao Luo said, "Tonight might not be possible. I have plans to go out and celebrate with my colleagues. How about tomorrow night? I'll dedicate all my time to you tomorrow night, okay?"

There was a moment of silence before Lu Tingnian's voice came through, "Then it's settled, tomorrow night."

Qiao Luo nodded in agreement, and after hanging up the phone, she rushed to catch up with her colleagues ahead.

"Mr. Lu, shall we go to that restaurant?"

Inside the car, Han Jian waited until Lu Tingnian hung up the phone before asking.

Tonight, Mr. Lu has prepared a surprise for Miss Qiao.

Lu Tingnian looked slightly disappointed, but it wasn't obvious. "No need, postpone it to tomorrow night."

Upon hearing this, Han Jian did as instructed. He informed the restaurant that the meeting would be postponed, and then asked, "So, are you going home now or...?"

"Go back to the restaurant and find Shaoyu."

Tang Shaoyu had asked him out to dinner before, but he declined.

Han Jian then drove the car over.

Not long after, they arrived at the restaurant where they had arranged to meet Tang Shaoyu.

Lu Tingnian went to the private room that Tang Shaoyu had previously given him, and Tang Shaoyu was quite surprised to see him.

"Brother Nian, didn't you say you weren't coming?"

Lu Tingnian didn't say anything. He originally wanted to give Qiao Luo a surprise that night. He wanted to take advantage of her happiness after closing that business deal and tell her that his leg had recovered, so that they could have double happiness. However, he didn't expect that she would have something come up at the last minute.

He could only postpone it until tomorrow.

"What? Not welcome?"

Tang Shaoyu dared not; he couldn't have asked for it more.

"Brother Nian, I welcome you with open arms."

Lu Tingnian didn't say anything more.

Tang Shaoyu went out to answer a phone call, and when he came back, he excitedly said to Lu Tingnian, "Brother Nian, guess who I ran into outside just now?"

Tang Shaoyu looked mysterious.

Lu Tingnian wasn't interested in the question and only asked perfunctorily, "Who?"

Tang Shaoyu: "Sister-in-law."

"Who did you say?" Lu Tingnian thought he had misheard.

Tang Shaoyu: "Sister-in-law, have you forgotten that I saw her at the party that night? She seemed to be having dinner here with several colleagues."

Hearing Tang Shaoyu's description, Lu Tingnian guessed that it must be Qiao Luo. She had mentioned on the phone that she was going to celebrate with her colleagues, but he hadn't asked any further questions. He never expected that she would come here.

"You didn't go over and say hello to her, did you?"

Lu Tingnian asked.

"No, how could I dare? Should I go out now and invite your sister-in-law in?"

Tang Shaoyu was a little unsure.

Lu Tingnian said, "No need, she can eat hers, we'll eat ours."

After all, it wasn't convenient for her to see him in his current state.

Hearing him say that, Tang Shaoyu didn't bring it up again.

When it was time to pay the bill, Lu Tingnian instructed him to pay for the other table's meal as well.

Qiao Luo and her colleagues were also nearing the end of their meal when, however, they were told by the staff that their table's bill had already been paid.

"You paid?" Qiao Luo was quite surprised. "Who paid?"

She asked the people sitting down, since they had agreed to split the bill equally today.

My colleagues all looked completely bewildered.

"No one has paid for it?" a colleague replied.

Qiao Luo was somewhat surprised. Although she had eaten here a few times before, no one recognized her, let alone her colleagues, who had just revealed that it was their first time here.

"Could it be that we ran into someone we know?" a colleague suggested.
