For her, abortion was acceptable.

She couldn't do it.

She would rather give the baby to the Qiaos and endure the pain of lovesickness day and night than let the child say goodbye to the world before it was born.

Qiao Shaoting understood what Bai Xiaoru meant.

Although he knew that it would be better for her to have an abortion, he would respect her choice.

"Since you want to keep this baby, you can rest assured to live here." Qiao Shaoting was about to leave, but he stopped when he turned around. He looked at Bai Xiaoru and added, "Don't worry. With me around, this child will live a carefree life. No one can hurt him."

Bai Xiaoru stopped breathing.

In a trance, she seemed to understand something.

Mr. Qiao understood her bitterness and helplessness.

In fact, the reason why he asked her to have an abortion was for her own good.

"Mr. Qiao, thank you so much." Tears welled up in Bai Xiaoru's eyes.

Then Qiao Shaoting left without a word.

Old Mrs. Qiao had a long talk with Fang Liyuan and promised her something.

For example, after giving birth to the baby, Bai Xiaoru would leave without any entanglement with Qiao Yaozu. She would make Bai Xiaoru leave the North, and there would be no chance for her to meet Qiao Yaozu again.

In addition, she said that the child born by Bai Xiaoru would be directly given to Fang Liyuan and be her son.

Old Mrs. Qiao said earnestly, "Liyuan, you haven't been pregnant for such a long time while Bai Xiaoru succeeded after one sex. I doubt if there is something wrong with you. I asked you to see a doctor before, but you refused."

Fang Liyuan was lost for words.

There was nothing wrong with her. It was just that she didn't have sex with Qiao Yaozu at all.

Although she had married him for so many years, she still didn't like him at all, let alone have sex with him.

Besides, although Old Mrs. Qiao had urged her, she didn't take it seriously. How could she know that a lowly servant like Bai Xiaoru would be pregnant before her?

Fang Liyuan had no choice but to admit that there was something wrong with her silently.

Old Mrs. Qiao said, "It's a good thing to give you a baby for free now. Liyuan, if you can't have a baby for the rest of your life, maybe it's God's arrangement to give you a baby now."

Fang Liyuan said indignantly, "I don't want that baby. He is not my child."

Old Mrs. Qiao said, "But you can't have a baby."

Fang Liyuan was lost for words.

A thought flashed through her mind.

She thought she should make up her mind to have sex with Qiao Yaozu. In this way, that old woman would not complain about it anymore.

But soon, she felt that she couldn't.

Bai Xiaoru was pregnant with Yaozu's baby, which could not be changed even if she was pregnant now.

No matter whether she was pregnant or not, the baby would definitely be kept.

So she had only one choice.

That was to kill the baby in Bai Xiaoru's belly.

There was no other way.

But this plan couldn't be told to Old Mrs. Qiao. Fang Liyuan thought that she had to do it without being noticed!

After all, even if Bai Xiaoru would never contact Qiao Yaozu again, she would not allow her son to stay in Qiao Palace in the future.

What a joke that she had a fake son!

She was the dignified lady of the Fang family and the wife of the president's younger brother. She was too good to be a mother of the son of a humble servant.

That was too unbelievable!

Even if she couldn't give birth to a baby, she wouldn't raise Bai Xiaoru's son. What's more, of course, she could have a baby.

This was an insult.

"Old Mrs. Qiao, since you said so, I have no other choice." Fang Liyuan pretended to agree, trying to make her relax her vigilance. "After all, maybe there is really something wrong with my health. If I can't give birth to a child for Yaozu, I will become the sinner of the family. So why don't we keep baby?"

Old Mrs. Qiao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Fang Liyuan said.

That woman finally figured it out.

She patted on Liyuan's hand and said, "It's so kind for you to think so, Liyuan. I'm so gratified. Don't worry. Although the child was born by Bai Xiaoru, you will be his mother in the future."

Fang Liyuan forced a smile, but she was thinking about how to kill the baby in Bai Xiaoru's belly.

She had better kill Bai Xiaoru as well.

Qiao Shaoting went back to Qiao Palace again.

It was Old Mrs. Qiao who asked him back, saying that she had something to tell him.

After returning to Qiao Palace, she told him that Fang Liyuan had agreed to let the baby stay here.

Qiao Shaoting didn't want to listen to these things. He would make sure that Bai Xiaoru's child would be safe for the rest of his life, but he wouldn't care about anything else.

"Grandma, now that you have arranged it, just do whatever you want." He paused for a moment and then continued, "But are you sure that she is willing to keep this child as her own baby?"

Old Mrs. Qiao didn't suspect. "She can't give birth to a baby by herself. Now she has a son for free, so of course, she is willing to."

Qiao Shaoting had no word to refute.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't.

He was too busy with government affairs to care about these things.

"Grandma, if that's all, I'll leave now. I still have a lot of work to do in the presidential palace," Qiao Shaoting said.

Old Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but complain, "Shaoting, you seldom go back to Qiao Palace. You should spare some time to accompany Qingqing and Momo."

Qiao Shaoting took a deep breath.

He had never thought of accompanying Liu Qingqing.

He had no feelings for this woman, so it was impossible for him to spare time to accompany her.

But he did need to accompany Qiao Momo.

A trace of guilt flashed through his eyes.

After Qin Yu left, he seldom went back to Qiao Palace, not to mention to accompany Qiao Momo. He had only met with him a few times.

It was his dereliction of duty.

"I'll stay at Qiao Palace tonight," he said.

Old Mrs. Qiao smiled and added, "Shaoting, that's great. You should spend more time with Qingqing and Momo."

Qiao Shaoting was about to go to Qiao Momo's study when he suddenly thought of something. He looked at Old Mrs. Qiao and said, "Grandma, how did you know that Bai Xiaoru was pregnant?"

Old Mrs. Qiao told the truth.

She said that it was Liu Qingqing who told her this. Because she was afraid that Fang Liyuan and Liu Qingqing would have a bad relationship, she tried to hide it from the former, but Qiao Shaoting was her grandson, so there was no need to hide.

Moreover, maybe in this way, Qiao Shaoting might have a better impression of Liu Qingqing.

After all, Liu Qingqing cared so much about Qiao Yaozu.
