It was Bai Xiaoru.

Qiao Yaozu's mouth twitched, giving up the wish that his wife could be better to him.

He thought that he had made this wish many years, but it didn't seem to come true. Why not change it this year?

"I hope Xiaoru can come back and play paper plane with me." He made such a wish.

Of course, although his lips were moving, he made no sound.

After making a wish, the crowd dispersed.

Before leaving, Old Mrs. Qiao said to Qiao Shaoting, "Shaoting, since you have decided to be with Qingqing, you have to live with her in the future. Why don't you let her go to your room tonight?"

Qiao Shaoting said indifferently, "Let's talk about it after the wedding."

Old Mrs. Qiao wanted to say something, but she gave up.

Anyway, Qiao Shaoting had compromised. She didn't want to push him too hard.

She said, "Since you have decided to hold the wedding, then get ready as soon as possible. Qingqing is a good girl. Don't let her down."

After his grandma left, Qiao Shaoting felt a little depressed.

He thought of Liu Qingqing and the upcoming wedding.

It was just a show that he used to make up for Liu Qingqing and let Qiao Momo have a complete family, but he still felt unhappy.

Wedding...

Obviously, he was going to marry that woman and give her a grand wedding.

He felt as if his heart was stabbed by a sharp weapon.

He immediately stopped thinking.

He didn't dare to think too much.

He was afraid that he would lose control.

Then he went to the rooftop and smoked a few cigarettes.

He seldom smoked, but he wanted to smoke tonight.

Because sometimes, cigarettes could relieve worries just like alcohol.

The last time when he was drunk, he had sex with Liu Qingqing, which shouldn't have happened, so he wouldn't drink again.

At the same time, Qiao Yaozu went back to his bedroom.

Fang Liyuan was putting on a facial mask in front of the mirror.

It was a gift from Liu Qingqing.

Since Fang Liyuan told her about the video, Liu Qingqing sent her some good things from time to time, so she accepted them all.

Qiao Yaozu walked to Fang Liyuan's back. Looking at her in the mirror, he giggled and said, "My wife is so beautiful."

Fang Liyuan snorted. "Can you tell whether I look good or not with a facial mask?"

Qiao Yaozu said seriously, "Even if I can't see your face, you are the most beautiful."

"Fuck off!" Fang Liyuan pulled a long face and said. "You don't know how to talk with people at all. Get out of here."

In fact, Qiao Yaozu didn't say anything wrong. Some men's sweet words could make girls blush, and their hearts beat faster. But when it came to Qiao Yaozu, Fang Liyuan thought it was annoying.

She hated Qiao Yaozu.

So whatever he said was annoying.

He was wrong in life, death, and even breathing.

Seeing Fang Liyuan's angry face, Qiao Yaozu was stunned.

A wave of sadness flashed across his face.

He thought Fang Liyuan would be happy if he said so.

But he was wrong.

Yesterday, when Qiao Yaozu was playing alone, he happened to see a maid applying a facial mask on her face. Coincidentally, the maid's husband was a gardener in Qiao Palace. He came to the maid and said that she was so beautiful.

At that time, the maid also said that he couldn't see her face with a mask. Her husband hurriedly replied that even if he couldn't see her face, she was the most beautiful in the world.

The maid laughed.

She threw herself into her husband's arms and said, "Why are you so sweet?"

Qiao Yaozu had witnessed the whole process.

He wondered if Fang Liyuan was always unhappy because he couldn't say sweet words. If he could be more pleasing, would she be as happy as that maid?

He kept in mind what the maid's husband said because he knew that Fang Liyuan would apply a facial mask every night.

He knew he was stupid. In order not to make any mistake, he repeated the words in his mind over and over again. Except for cutting the birthday cake and making wishes for his birthday tonight, he had always said these words in his mind.

When he went back to his bedroom, he saw Fang Liyuan putting on a mask again and saying these words. He thought she would be as happy as the maid, but facts proved that he was wrong.

Fang Liyuan was not only unhappy but also asked him to get out.

Qiao Yaozu walked towards the door, but after a few steps, he stopped, unwilling to give up.

Then he turned to look at Fang Liyuan and asked, "Honey, why are you unhappy?"

"Why should I be happy?" Fang Liyuan asked.

Qiao Yaozu said, "I'm praising you. You should be happy. Women will be happy when their husbands praise them."

Disdain flashed through Fang Liyuan's eyes. "Will other men's husbands be as stupid as you? Get out right now!"

Now that Fang Liyuan had something against Liu Qingqing, she was more unscrupulous.

Qiao Yaozu's face turned pale.

He lowered his head and said softly, "Honey, today is my birthday. I thought you would be happy and treat me better."

No one answered.

Fang Liyuan continued to pat her face in front of the mirror without looking at Qiao Yaozu.

He walked out of the bedroom silently.

Then he came to the rooftop.

The rooftop of Qiao Palace was very large.

Standing on it, he could not only see the night scene of the North but also feel extremely comfortable when the night wind blew.

Qiao Yaozu wanted to have a night breeze, but he didn't expect to see Qiao Shaoting.

Qiao Shaoting was smoking.

The smoke made his handsome face blur.

"Shaoting, you can smoke!" Qiao Yaozu's eyes widened.

He had never seen him smoking before.

Seeing Qiao Yaozu, Qiao Shaoting put off the cigarette in his hand.

The light was extinguished in an instant.

At this moment, the ground was full of cigarette butts.

It could be seen that Qiao Shaoting smoked a lot just now.

"Yes," Qiao Shaoting replied indifferently.

"Shaoting, smoking is not good for your health," Qiao Yaozu thought for a long while before he said this.

"I know."

Qiao Yaozu was lost for words. Then he heard Qiao Shaoting say, "Happy birthday, Yaozu."

He felt warm.

He knew that although his brother had always been cold to everyone, he was very nice to him.

He said, "Today is my birthday. I'm happy. Everyone should be happy."

In fact, he was not happy at all.

He was happy at first, especially when he thought of what the maid's husband had said to his wife. When he thought that Fang Liyuan would be happy after he said those sweet words, he was even happier.
