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

Chapter 39 Let's just say that car accident was our destiny.

Qiao Luo originally thought Lu Tingnian had something to discuss with her, but unexpectedly, he handed her a bank card.

She asked, puzzled, "What is this?"

Lu Tingnian: "Living expenses."

His expression was calm, as if he were doing something perfectly ordinary, but Qiao Luo was quite surprised.

She was surprised that Lu Tingnian was giving her living expenses, but shouldn't she be the one to bear these costs?

She quickly refused, saying, "No need, I have money."

"Oh? How much?" Lu Tingnian pressed.

"..."

Qiao Luo felt somewhat guilty.

After all, she knows exactly how much money she has, and to put it bluntly, she's almost at the point of financial strain.

However, she wouldn't tell Lu Tingnian, since she was the one who had caused him to be in this state, and it would be too unreasonable to make him bear the burden of living expenses as well.

Thinking this, Qiao Luo said, "It's not about how much money you have, it's about spending it wisely."

"Oh?" Lu Tingnian listened attentively.

Qiao Luo had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

"As long as every penny is spent wisely, I believe that no matter how much money I have, I will be fine."

She spoke with conviction, her face seemingly full of confidence, but in reality, she was filled with insecurity.

Lu Tingnian didn't expose her; he only looked at Qiao Luo.

"But my quality of life is relatively high."

Qiao Luo stood at the pass for a long time before finally saying, "...I know, but I still can't accept it."

"why?"

Lu Tingnian pressed for more information.

Qiao Luo slowly lowered her head and remained silent.

Even without her saying it, Lu Tingnian understood that she felt guilty because she had hit him.

"Qiao Luo, do you believe in fate?"

After a moment, Lu Tingnian slowly asked.

Qiao Luo thought for a moment, "I'd believe it if it happened to someone else, but if it happened to me, I..."

She thought that if it happened to her, she wouldn't believe it, after all, she had never encountered anything of fate in her life.

Lu Tingnian said, "But I believe it."

His eyes were filled with determination, so determination that Qiao Luo thought he had personally experienced it.

"Qiao Luo, let's just consider that car accident as our destiny." After a while, he said again in a deep voice.

Qiao Luo fell silent as a result.

He could easily sum up the car accident with the word "fate," but she couldn't.

That was her fault, and it was unfair to him.

But in the end, she still accepted Lu Tingnian's bank card, not for any other reason than so that he could live well in the remaining days of his life.

She might feel guilty or remorseful for it, but she had no choice. She couldn't sacrifice his original quality of life for the sake of her so-called face and guilt.

That would be unfair to him.

"Thank you, Lu Tingnian," Qiao Luo said, pursing her lips.

Lu Tingnian frowned at her address.

"What did you call me?"

Qiao Luo bit her lip. This was the first time she had formally addressed Lu Tingnian. It felt a little awkward and distant, but for her, it was a big step forward.

At least, she dared to face her mistakes instead of choosing to avoid them.

"From now on, I will call you Lu Tingnian, and I will call you that every day."

I will keep calling your name until your life ends, and I will keep calling your name until I remember you forever.

“But I don’t like being called by my full name,” Lu Tingnian said.

Especially you.

“Then… I’ll call you that, Ting Nian? Nian Nian?” Qiao Luo blinked her almond-shaped eyes frantically.

Lu Tingnian: "..."

The two slept in separate beds that night. The next morning, Qiao Luo was still thinking about her long talk with Lu Tingnian the night before.
