After Old Mrs. Qiao finished, she added, "Shaoting, Qingqing cares about your brother more than you do."

Qiao Shaoting frowned.

He didn't respond to Old Mrs. Qiao but left.

Later, he went to Liu Qingqing and said, "Stay with Momo more in the future. Don't be so nosy."

Liu Qingqing was stunned.

Soon, she understood what Qiao Shaoting meant.

It must be about Bai Xiaoru.

When Qiao Shaoting came back, he happened to meet Fang Liyuan, who was making a fuss. Then he was told that Bai Xiaoru was pregnant. Old Mrs. Qiao wouldn't tell Fang Liyuan that she was the one who exposed the matter, but it was possible for that old woman to tell Qiao Shaoting.

It was her negligence. She hadn't thought of it before.

Liu Qingqing immediately lowered her head and said with trepidation, "Mr. Qiao, I saw that Qiao Yaozu missed Xiaoru much, so I wanted to help him to take her back. I won't do it again. It's my fault."

Qiao Shaoting stared at Liu Qingqing with his deep eyes.

He didn't tell her what it was, but she could figure it out so soon. This woman seemed to be too smart.

Something flashed through his mind, but it flashed too fast for him to catch it.

He took another look at her and left.

After he left, Liu Qingqing felt her heart beating faster.

She noticed the meaningful look from Qiao Shaoting.

She wondered if he knew her real intentions.

But on second thought, she thought it was impossible.

No matter how smart Qiao Shaoting was, he couldn't know what was in her mind.

Liu Qingqing comforted herself in this way.

Qiao Shaoting came to Qiao Momo's study and saw his child drawing alone.

He drew a line on the white paper carefully. It seemed that he was drawing a person.

Qiao Shaoting didn't disturb him but stood behind quietly.

When he saw the person gradually take shape, his eyes narrowed.

At this moment, Qiao Momo sensed the movement behind him and immediately turned around.

When he saw it was Qiao Shaoting, he was stunned.

He hadn't seen his father for a long time, so he felt a little strange when he met him here.

"Daddy." After a while, he called out in a low voice. Suddenly, something occurred to him. He turned around and rolled up the picture he had just drawn.

"Daddy, it's not good enough. I'll draw it again." Qiao Momo tried to hide something.

Qiao Shaoting breathed heavily.

If he guessed it right, his son was drawing Qin Yu.

"Momo, do you miss her so much?" After a while, he asked with difficulty.

It seemed that he had used all his strength to utter these words.

He was asking not only Qiao Momo but also himself.

Qiao Momo's mouth twitched.

His father knew who he was drawing.

He did draw Xiaoyu because he missed her much.

She had left Qiao Palace for a long time, but he often thought of her.

He missed her bright smile and her sweet and crisp cookies.

But he didn't dare to tell anyone about that.

But Qiao Shaoting's question made him unable to hold back his miss for Xiaoyu.

After a long while, he said, "Daddy, I don't think Xiaoyu is a bad guy."

Qiao Shaoting narrowed his eyes again.

Qiao Momo added, "No matter what happened, I don't think Xiaoyu is a bad guy."

Seeing that his father didn't say anything, he continued, "But Xiaoyu must leave Qiao Palace, right? You have to choose between mommy and Xiaoyu, and you don't want to give the latter to me. In this way, you can only let her leave here."

There was a wave of sadness on Qiao Momo's face.

Qiao Shaoting swallowed hard as if there was something stuck in his throat.

"Momo, do you think she is not a bad woman?" Qiao Shaoting asked in a hoarse voice.

Qiao Momo nodded seriously and answered, "Yes. No matter what happens, I don't think she's a bad person."

Looking at the serious expression on Qiao Momo's face, Qiao Shaoting thought of Qin Yu.

She had fair skin, a delicate nose, and clear eyes.

There were no impurities in her bright eyes.

Qiao Shaoting felt a sharp pain in his heart.

She did look like a nice and kind woman.

He had dyspnea, and at the same time, some words flashed through his mind.

Bai Hongzhang said that people always fell into the misunderstanding of habitual thinking.

And Old Mrs. Qiao told him that it was Liu Qingqing who told him that Bai Xiaoru was pregnant.

Besides, when he talked to Liu Qingqing just now, she was surprisingly sharp and smart.

Countless white lights flashed in his mind, but each of them was so fast that he couldn't catch them at all, though he wished to.

In the end, his head began to ache.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Momo noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Qiao Shaoting.

"Nothing." Qiao Shaoting tried his best to endure the pain from his head.

"Continue your drawing. I'll go to the study to deal with my work." It was so painful that he couldn't bear it anymore. He wanted to ask a doctor for painkillers.

He didn't know why his head suddenly hurt so much.

"Daddy, go to work. I'll continue to paint," said Qiao Momo.

Qiao Shaoting reached to the door and then stopped.

"Momo, didn't your mother paint with you?" he asked.

Qiao Momo replied, "No, mom has been busy recently. She is not always with me like before. She has her own business."

He didn't mean to blame Liu Qingqing but to speak for her. He was afraid that his father would blame her for not drawing with him.

Qiao Shaoting was a little stunned.

He asked, "When did your mother begin to be busy?"

Qiao Momo thought for a while and then answered, "This month."

Qiao Shaoting didn't ask anymore but felt more headache.

He asked the doctor for painkillers,

After taking them, he felt his head not hurt so much.

He recalled what had flashed through his mind in Qiao Momo's study and tried to grasp something, but he failed again.

After a long while, he made a call.

At the same time, in City A, Qin Yu and Wen Qian had dinner at Pei's house at night.
