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

Chapter 299 made her the female lead.

Qiao Luo turned her head when she heard the sound and saw Lu Tingnian standing outside the window.

He stood there, looking at her through the car window. When Qiao Luo saw him, she thought she was seeing things.

After all, she had just seen him drive the car away with her own eyes.

"Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?"

Qiao Luo pursed her lips and rolled down the car window.

Although she still looked very angry, Lu Tingnian could tell that she had calmed down a lot.

At least the question contained a hint of reproach.

"How can I leave you here alone?"

As Lu Tingnian was speaking, he was about to open the passenger door, but Qiao Luo stopped him.

Did you get my consent?

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian quickly stopped opening the car door and asked her, "Then... can I get in your car?"

Qiao Luo looked down at her nails and didn't object.

Lu Tingnian took this as a yes, opened the car door and got in. Seeing that she was still staring at her nails and ignoring him, he finally spoke up: "Qiao Luo, can we talk now?"

His voice was somewhat cautious.

Qiao Luo still didn't answer, continuing to stare at her fingernails.

Lu Tingnian knew that her personality had always been such that when she refused, it was a clear refusal, and when she didn't speak, it meant she acquiesced.

He paused for a moment before slowly saying to Qiao Luo, "Actually, I never intended to hide my identity from you. I just hadn't found a suitable opportunity, so I kept putting it off. Later, you came into contact with TL Company by chance. At that time, I originally wanted to be honest with you, but you told me that you hated being deceived. I was worried that if you found out, it would cause an irreparable situation, so I had no choice but to continue to hide it."

After hearing Lu Tingnian's explanation, Qiao Luo couldn't help but scoff, "Is that so?"

"Furthermore, I had previously tried to subtly inquire about your opinion on concealing your identity, and your answer was so resolute that there was no room for negotiation, which is why I didn't dare to be honest with you. Of course, I know that what I did was wrong, but please believe me, I really didn't mean to lie to you."

Hearing him say that, Qiao Luo found it somewhat ridiculous. He was already in this situation, yet he still claimed that he didn't do it on purpose.

She scoffed, "So, you're blaming me for being unreasonable?"

Qiao Luo countered with a question.

Lu Tingnian quickly denied it: "Of course not."

"what is that?"

Qiao Luo countered with a question.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian did not reply, because he did not know how to respond.

After all, talking about the reason would inevitably involve the fact that he pretended to be sick. Although having too many lice doesn't make you feel itchy, he wasn't sure if Qiao Luo would forgive him after she found out that she had lied to him about more than just this one thing.

Although he's not sure yet.

Therefore, he dared not rashly get involved.

Seeing that he remained silent, Qiao Luo simply answered for him: "Let me answer for you. Don't you think I'm the kind of vain girl who's afraid that after I find out your identity, my intentions aren't pure, and that I'm only marrying you for your status and money? Am I right?"

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Lu Tingnian quickly said,

"not like this."

"Isn't that right?" Qiao Luo sneered.

But that's how it's portrayed in novels.

Back when she was in college, she had read many online novels with similar plots. Usually, the male protagonist would deliberately hide his identity from the female protagonist in order to find someone who simply liked him.

At that time, she never imagined that one day, the plot of the novel would suddenly become reality, making her the female protagonist.
