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

Chapter 162 I hate being deceived

Lu Tingnian patiently answered her questions, using a lot of technical jargon, which left Qiao Luo completely confused. After all, different professions are like different worlds, and professional knowledge cannot be acquired quickly.

Lu Tingnian could tell that she didn't understand, so he patiently explained it to her until she did.

After he finished speaking, Qiao Luo was starting to admire Lu Tingnian. She noticed that he was practically glowing when he was explaining the professional knowledge to her, making his already handsome face even more striking.

Men who are serious about their work are indeed the most handsome.

Unfortunately, her mistake ruined his handsome appearance.

Thinking of this, Qiao Luo couldn't help but feel a little down.

When Lu Tingnian noticed that her mood had become low, he quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did you not understand what I said because it was too complicated?"

Qiao Luo shook her head. "No."

"Then you are..."

"...I accidentally spaced out, please continue."

Not wanting to spoil Lu Tingnian's fun, Qiao Luo made up a random excuse.

Fortunately, Lu Tingnian did not suspect anything.

Before they knew it, the two had been chatting until very late.

Before going to bed that night, Lu Tingnian suddenly remembered something he wanted to tell Qiao Luo. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Qiao Luo, there's something I want to tell you."

Qiao Luo was sitting in front of her dressing table removing her makeup. She was used to wearing light makeup when she went to work, and she was used to going to sleep feeling refreshed at night.

Hearing Lu Tingnian say that, she turned around in front of the mirror and said, "Go ahead, I'm listening."

After saying that, he turned back to the mirror and continued.

Lu Tingnian paused, watching her busy figure, and then said, "My health..."

Just as she uttered four words, Qiao Luo's phone rang. Seeing that it was a work call, she apologized to Lu Tingnian, got up, and went outside to answer it. She didn't know what was said on the other end, but she heard Lu Tingnian reply angrily, "I hate being deceived the most. If that's really the case, then we don't need to cooperate anymore."

Her voice came from outside as she spoke on the phone. Lu Tingnian's brow furrowed; it seemed now was not the time to be honest.

When Qiao Luo returned after finishing her phone call, she saw Lu Tingnian and remembered what he had just said. She asked, "What did you say about your health?"

Lu Tingnian opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything. Instead, he changed his words and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to say that I'm feeling much better now, so don't worry."

Hearing him say that, Qiao Luo didn't doubt it, and simply said, "Dr. Sang said the same thing last time."

Lu Tingnian nodded, then remembered to ask, "By the way, who called just now? You looked so angry."

It would have been better if we hadn't mentioned that phone call, but just thinking about Qiao Luo made her angry. She told Lu Tingnian,

"It was a colleague who called. He said that after investigation, they found that the data provided by a company we were working with was falsified. Several of us worked on that project for three whole months. Now that the data has been found to be falsified, it means that all our efforts over the past three months have been wasted. Can you imagine how angry I am?"

Lu Tingnian lowered his head and awkwardly combed his eyebrows. "It's understandable that I'm angry, but are you really not planning to continue our cooperation?"

Qiao Luo nodded.

"Well, I'm not planning to continue working with them anyway. There's no point in continuing to cooperate with a company that has no credibility."

Lu Tingnian didn't know whether he should feel fortunate or not. Luckily, the phone call came in time; otherwise, he didn't know what the consequences would have been.

This topic ended there, but it also became a heavy burden on Lu Tingnian's mind.

The next morning, he went to the company, still thinking about it.

Seeing that he looked preoccupied, Han Jian asked with a hint of doubt, "Mr. Lu, is something bothering you?"
