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

Chapter 177 I Can't Sleep Without You

"I wonder if Mr. Han knows anyone at that company? Could you introduce me? Of course, if it's inconvenient, please don't force me. I'll think of another way."

Qiao Luo hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to ask. After all, Han Jian was the only person she knew in that circle, and he held a very high position. If even he couldn't do it, then no one else could.

However, considering that Han Jian had already helped her a lot, she felt it was inappropriate to trouble him further.

Han Jian didn't force the issue. He knew a lot of people in the company, so an introduction wouldn't be a problem. However, he needed to get President Lu's approval beforehand.

So Han Jian gave an ambiguous answer, neither saying he was willing to help nor unwilling, only saying to wait for his message.

When Qiao Luo got home, she found Lu Tingnian still waiting for her in the living room. She quickly went up to him and said, "Why aren't you resting yet? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me and to go to sleep first?"

It was already past 11 p.m., how could his body withstand staying up all night?

Hearing her concerned reproach, Lu Tingnian steered his wheelchair forward. He had deliberately left the party ahead of time to have his leg cast healed before Qiao Luo got home, all so that she wouldn't find out he had been to the party.

I can't sleep without you.

He looked particularly frail today, and Qiao Luo felt a little guilty. If she had known she wouldn't get any news tonight, she wouldn't have gone to the party; she would have been better off staying home with Lu Tingnian.

That way he won't feel lonely.

Thinking this, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I came back late. I should have come back earlier to be with you. It's all my fault."

Lu Tingnian quickly comforted her, "Don't say that. It's not entirely because of you. I'm the one who can't sleep."

"I'm back now, you should go to sleep."

As she spoke, she pushed Lu Tingnian into the bedroom and helped him lie down on the bed.

"What about you?" Lu Tingnian asked, seeing that she didn't seem to be going to sleep.

Qiao Luo said, "I still need to write a report about this party. It's due tomorrow morning, so I have to work overtime to finish it."

Tomorrow morning I need to submit to Lin Mei her reflections and takeaways from the party, as well as her work arrangements for the coming days.

"You've worked so hard, do you need my help?" Lu Tingnian said with some concern.

Qiao Luo shook her head, "No need, I'll be done soon, you go to sleep first."

As she spoke, she covered Lu Tingnian with the blanket and turned to leave, but Lu Tingnian grabbed her arm.

"Luo Luo, I can't sleep without you."

Lu Tingnian reiterated this point.

Qiao Luo: "..."

"Then I'll stay here with you until you fall asleep, then I'll go back to work."

Qiao Luo said.

Lu Tingnian nodded.

Qiao Luo leaned against the bedside, originally intending to wait for Lu Tingnian to fall asleep, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep first.

Looking at her sleeping face, Lu Tingnian gently got up, laid her down, and then went outside to call Han Jian.

"Write me a report on today's cocktail party right away. Make sure it's for Qiao Luo."

Han Jian replied with a "Okay".

Lu Tingnian hung up the phone before returning to the bedroom. When he arrived, Qiao Luo was sleeping soundly. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Lu Tingnian felt a sense of satisfaction.

If he could, he wouldn't want Qiao Luo to work so hard, but he also knew that Qiao Luo's personality and abilities were suited to shine in the workplace. This was her career, and he had no right to interfere.

All he could do was offer her his support from behind the scenes.

Qiao Luo slept straight through until the next morning.
