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

Chapter 365 Love took on a tangible form at that moment.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingnian said, "Actually, there's something I didn't tell you when I first recognized you at the hospital."

"What is it?" Qiao Luo pressed.

Lu Tingnian: "Do you remember what you said when you saw me in the hospital room?"

Hearing his question, Qiao Luo thought about it carefully, "I think I said I wanted to take responsibility for you."

She only remembered this one sentence.

Lu Tingnian shook his head.

"That's not it."

Qiao Luo was puzzled. If it wasn't this sentence, then what was it?

She couldn't quite remember.

"Just tell me directly," she urged.

Hearing her say this, Lu Tingnian slowly said, "Back then, you cried and told me that you would take good care of me until I was laid to rest."

Qiao Luo then remembered that she had said something embarrassing, but she had only said it because of his injury at the time.

"so what……"

"So, I didn't tell you the truth. Actually, my condition at the time was just a broken leg, not as serious as you think."

Qiao Luo was stunned. She stared at Lu Tingnian for a long time before she realized that this was a huge scam.

He lied to her from the beginning.

"you……"

"You promised you wouldn't be angry."

Just as Qiao Luo was about to get angry, Lu Tingnian reminded her.

She swallowed the words she wanted to say, but still said angrily, "So, you lied to me about something even bigger."

She looked very angry.

Lu Tingnian quickly admitted his mistake, even though he had already obtained her forgiveness.

"Honey, I was wrong, don't be angry."

"Tell me the truth, why did you lie to me?" Qiao Luo asked angrily.

Lu Tingnian stared at her for a long time, "Because I want to be with you."

His eyes were very sincere.

If he didn't have such a strong desire, how could he have the heart to deceive?

The simple statement that he wanted to be with her completely dispelled Qiao Luo's resentment.

After all, who could refuse such a sincere confession?

Perhaps that's the charm of love.

"Then I'll reluctantly let go of my anger, but while I may escape the death penalty, I'll certainly face severe punishment."

She suddenly said in a sinister tone.

Lu Tingnian was taken aback.

Soon, he learned what Qiao Luo meant by "unforgivable punishment".

Standing atop a high cliff, looking down at everything below, one feels as insignificant as an ant.

"This is my punishment for you."

Although she didn't intend to pursue the matter further, she wanted him to know that some things, once done, come at a price.

She still remembers that when he was a child, he told her that he was afraid of heights.

Lu Tingnian was naturally willing to accept such punishment, but he was afraid of heights, a fear he had had since childhood.

Especially in such a high mountain ravine.

That fear is something you carry from the womb.

"Could we change it to something else?"

Therefore, when he learned that Qiao Luo's punishment for him was bungee jumping, he hesitated.

Qiao Luo insisted firmly: "No."

Seeing this, Lu Tingnian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll jump."

A man's word is his bond; once he's made a promise to Qiao Luo, he must keep it.

After speaking, he slowly walked to the front of the stage. Below was a bottomless abyss. Although his heart was filled with fear, he was willing to do it for Qiao Luo.

With that thought in mind, he mustered his courage and slowly moved forward, one step, two steps, three steps, but just as he was about to reach the very edge, he jumped.

He thought he was about to face the terror of death, but to his surprise, just as he leaped, Qiao Luo flew over and caught him.

And so, the two fell together from the sky, embracing each other tightly.

Even when he was filled with immense fear, Qiao Luo took the initiative to kiss his lips.

The rope around their waists was twisted into an endless braid, a testament to their entanglement.

At that moment, he truly understood that some fears can be overcome.

Just as she overcame her obsession with and resentment towards his deception for his sake, he was able to overcome his fear of heights for her sake as well.

Love took on a tangible form at that moment.
