Bai Xiaoru didn't expect that Qiao Shaoting would come again.

According to Qiao Shaoting's personality, She had thought that he would never come here again after she made it clear to him.

What he asked also confused her.

He asked her when Liu Qingqing came to see her and what she had said to her.

Bai Xiaoru told him the matter in detail.

Qiao Shaoting stood there quietly, seeming to be thinking about something.

Bai Xiaoru didn't dare to ask. After a few minutes of silence, Qiao Shaoting suddenly asked, "How did Fang Liyuan know that you were pregnant?"

Bai Xiaoru shook her head.

After a while, she added, "Maybe it was Old Mrs. Qiao who told her."

Qiao Shaoting sneered.

It couldn't be his grandma.

If it were her, she wouldn't have placed Bai Xiaoru here.

Then who told Fang Liyuan about that?

When Bai Xiaoru was pregnant, Liu Qingqing suddenly came to visit her. Then Old Mrs. Qiao knew this matter and took Bai Xiaoru away.

After that, Fang Liyuan also knew Bai Xiaoru's pregnancy and made a big fuss about it. It seemed to be a natural thing, but there was something wrong with it.

But he thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter in the beginning. After all, he didn't have much time to care about it. However, he found that Liu Qingqing was unusually smart yesterday, and Qiao Momo's words made him suspicious.

That was why he took the time to meet Bai Xiaoru.

He wanted to prove something.

But now, it seemed that Bai Xiaoru didn't know much about it. Then Qiao Shaoting turned away in silence and returned to Qiao Palace.

When he saw Fang Liyuan, he asked casually, "Liyuan, how did you know that Bai Xiaoru was pregnant?"

Hearing this, Fang Liyuan couldn't hide her disgust in her eyes. "Of course, it was Bai Xiaoru who revealed it. Now that she is pregnant with Yaozu's son, she wants to make a noise all over the world so that everyone will know it. In this way, she can get benefits from it."

Qiao Shaoting asked coldly, "Are you sure that she told you that she was pregnant in person?"

Fang Liyuan was stunned.

Since he had asked her such a detailed question, it was impossible for her to talk nonsense again. She had no choice but to say, "Your brother told me about it. As for how Yaozu knew it, it must be Bai Xiaoru. She must have asked Yaozu to marry her."

Then she added in a loud voice, "But I'm the only one Yaozu loves. Shaoting, you should know how much Yaozu loves me. How could he be seduced by that seductress, Bai Xiaoru? Old Mrs. Qiao is determined to keep the baby. Otherwise, Yaozu won't pay attention to that bitch. I'm the only one he loves!"

Fang Liyuan said this just to remind Qiao Shaoting that although Bai Xiaoru was pregnant, she was Qiao Yaozu's legal wife.

Unfortunately, Qiao Shaoting was not in the mood to respond to Fang Liyuan's meaningful words.

He ignored her and left.

Seeing his leave, Fang Liyuan stopped him in a hurry.

She said, "Shaoting, you haven't given me an explanation yet."

Qiao Shaoting answered, "I think my grandma should have told you about it. Otherwise, how can still stay in Qiao Palace now?"

Fang Liyuan was rendered speechless.

She wanted to see if she could get some benefits from Qiao Shaoting, but she didn't expect that he had already guessed her mind.

She had no choice but to say, "Shaoting. I have no choice. As your brother's wife, I have to obey Old Mrs. Qiao in everything. What else can I do? I have to sacrifice myself to fulfill her wish. After all, I'm a filial granddaughter-in-law."

Qiao Shaoting glanced at her and said, "If you don't want to, just say no. But since you agree, there's no need to complain about it."

Fang Liyuan had no choice but to shut her mouth. Qiao Shaoting was so smart that she couldn't get any advantage over him.

Qiao Shaoting then met his brother, Qiao Yaozu, who told him that Bai Xiaoru was sick and had a big belly.

Qiao Shaoting asked casually, "Then how do you know that she is sick?"

Qiao Yaozu was about to answer but then stopped.

He said, "I saw her big belly myself."

Qiao Shaoting seemed to have a casual look, but in fact, his eyes had been fixed on Qiao Yaozu. Therefore, he noticed the change of expression on Qiao Yaozu's face just now.

"Has anyone ever reminded you of her illness?" he asked.

Qiao Yaozu shook his head.

"Are you sure?"

Qiao Yaozu nodded.

"Apart from your observation of Bai Xiaoru's illness, is there anyone else who has noticed her illness?"

"Qingqing!" Qiao Yaozu blurted out.

Qiao Shaoting's eyes narrowed. Then Qiao Yaozu continued, "My wife and grandma have also noticed that. Everyone can see that Xiaoru is sick."

After saying that, Qiao Yaozu added sadly, "But Shaoting, my wife doesn't allow Xiaoru to go back to Qiao Palace. I really want Xiaoru to go back to live here, but my wife doesn't allow me to do that. she is very angry, and I'm very sad about it."

Qiao Shaoting patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Dude, if you still love your wife, it's the right choice not to let Bai Xiaoru go back."

Qiao Yaozu didn't fully understand but still said, "I love my wife the most."

Qiao Shaoting sighed.

He didn't think Fang Liyuan was a kind woman, but Qiao Yaozu was loyal to her.

Therefore, he couldn't say anything about it.

No matter how bad Fang Liyuan was, she was still his sister-in-law.

When it came to dealing with the matter between Bai Xiaoru and Fang Liyuan, he had to give priority to the latter's feelings. To put it bluntly, he cared more about Qiao Yaozu.

"I have to go now," Qiao Shaoting said.

"Can you persuade my wife about it?" Qiao Yaozu asked nervously. "Ask her to pick up Xiaoru and go back to Qiao Palace."

"No!" Qiao Shaoting refused.

He knew very well that if he took Bai Xiaoru back to Qiao Palace, things would get worse.

Qiao Yaozu nodded and lowered his head.

The loneliness on his face could not be concealed.

"Yaozu, what do you think of Qingqing?" Qiao Shaoting suddenly stopped after taking two steps.

Qiao Yaozu raised his head and said, "She is a nice person."

"Do you like to talk to her?"

Qiao Yaozu nodded. "Yes, I do. I like talking to Qingqing the most. She often cooks delicious food and plays with me."

A thought flashed across Qiao Shaoting's mind.
