Qiao Yaozu nodded.

He said, "Qingqing, go ahead. Don't worry about me."

Liu Qingqing left immediately.

After she left, Qiao Yaozu picked up the paper plane and stared blankly at it.

When Liu Qingqing offered to play with him, he was very happy, but in fact, he found that he was not as happy as he had thought.

It was the happiest thing to play paper plane with Xiaoru.

Thinking of her, he felt sad.

How was she now?

Was her belly still so big? Would it explode?

After thinking for a long while, he decided that when Liu Qingqing came back, he would ask her to take him to Bai Xiaoru again. He wanted to see her.

If her belly was still that big, he would take her to see a doctor. He couldn't let it explode.

He waited for a long time, but Liu Qingqing didn't come back. At this moment, the door in front of him was opened.

Qiao Yaozu was taken aback.

He thought there was no one in the room, but the door was suddenly opened.

A servant came out.

She was also stunned when she saw Qiao Yaozu.

When she came to her senses, she was about to close the door, but it was too late. Qiao Yaozu saw a familiar figure from the open door.

He was about to rush in.

The servant wanted to stop him but was pushed away.

Although Qiao Yaozu was stupid, he was strong enough to push the servant back a few steps.

He walked in.

Bai Xiaoru was lying on the bed.

Just now, a servant came here to give a massage to her.

This kind of massage could promote the smooth delivery of pregnant women.

Bai Xiaoru didn't like to be massaged, but when she heard that it was good for the baby, she agreed.

She would do anything good for her son.

When the servant was about to leave after the massage, she bumped into Qiao Yaozu, who was standing at the door.

Bai Xiaoru was lying on her side, so she didn't see Qiao Yaozu.

"Xiaoru!" Qiao Yaozu shouted.

Bai Xiaoru was stunned.

She heard Qiao Yaozu's voice.

But how could it be possible?

Although she stayed in Qiao Palace, she knew that Old Mrs. Qiao took her to the northernmost empty bedroom. What's more, she was not allowed to walk around as usual, and Qiao Yaozu seldom came here. In this way, it was impossible for her to meet him.

"Xiaoru!" The voice was even louder this time.

Bai Xiaoru turned around.

It was Qiao Yaozu.

She was stunned.

"It's really you, Xiaoru." Qiao Yaozu was overjoyed. "You've come to Qiao Palace. I am so happy."

Then his eyes fell on her belly, which made him nervous.

The belly seemed to be bigger than it looked last time.

He stepped forward and touched Bai Xiaoru's belly. Then he asked worriedly, "Xiaoru, why is your belly so big? Is it serious? Did you come back to Qiao Palace for treatment? Did my wife pick you up to this room?"

When he put his hand on her belly, her body stiffened, and her belly bulged.

The baby seemed to feel something and began to move his hands and feet.

Qiao Yaozu was so frightened that he withdrew his hand.

With a flustered look on his face, he said, "Xiaoru, what's in your belly? Why did it move?"

Being touched by Qiao Yaozu in this way, Bai Xiaoru tensed up and didn't know how to answer him.

At this time, Qiao Yaozu shouted at the servant behind him, "Call the doctor. Hurry up. Xiaoru is sick. Her belly is about to explode."

The servant couldn't help laughing when she heard Qiao Yaozu's funny words.

She answered without thinking, "Mr. Qiao, Miss Bai is pregnant, not sick."

Pregnant?

Qiao Yaozu was stunned.

Of course, he knew what pregnancy was, but he was stupid. In the beginning, Liu Qingqing misled him that Bai Xiaoru was sick with a big belly, so he didn't expect that Bai Xiaoru would be pregnant.

He looked at Bai Xiaoru in a daze and stammered, "Xiaoru, you're pregnant."

Bai Xiaoru had mixed feelings.

Qiao Yaozu was the father of her unborn baby, but in the end, he was the last one to know that she was pregnant.

How ridiculous and ironic it was!

"Yes, Mr. Qiao." She couldn't hide it anymore.

Qiao Yaozu's mind was in a mess.

After a while, he asked with difficulty, "Xiaoru, when did you get married? Why didn't I know?"

Bai Xiaoru was confused but soon understood what he meant.

Qiao Yaozu had a simple mind. He thought women would get married before they got pregnant, so he mistook her as a married woman.

"Not long ago," she answered vaguely.

She didn't want Qiao Yaozu to know that the baby in her belly was his son. Now that he had given her such an explanation, she would follow his words and lie.

"You are married," murmured Qiao Yaozu.

He couldn't think too much with his poor brain.

Bai Xiaoru said she had got married. Then he would believe her.

"Congratulations, Xiaoru!" Qiao Yaozu added.

"Thank you." Bai Xiaoru lowered her head.

Somehow, Qiao Yaozu felt upset.

At first, he was very happy to see Bai Xiaoru and had a lot to talk about with her.

But now, he was unhappy and didn't know what to say.

Just as the two people were silent, a voice suddenly sounded, "Yaozu. Why are you here?"

As soon as Qiao Yaozu came in, a servant ran to inform Old Mrs. Qiao.

Old Mrs. Qiao came here in a hurry.

"Old Mrs. Qiao!" Qiao Yaozu turned around.

Old Mrs. Qiao took a look at him and then at Bai Xiaoru. After thinking for a while, she said, "You go out first, Yaozu. Don't you remember what you said last time? Her belly is about to explode. I specially called a doctor to check on her. Her disease will be infected. You had better leave now."

Qiao Yaozu immediately retorted, "Old Mrs. Qiao, it's not that Xiaoru is sick. She is pregnant, so her belly is so big."

Old Mrs. Qiao was taken aback.

She raised her voice. "Who told you that Bai Xiaoru was pregnant?"

Without any hesitation, Qiao Yaozu pointed at the servant.

Old Mrs. Qiao's face turned gloomy.

In fact, the servant realized that she had said something wrong after she blurted it out. She had planned to hide it from everyone, but she did not expect that Old Mrs. Qiao would come so soon.

She immediately slapped herself on the face and said, "Mr. Qiao, I lied to you just now. I am sorry."
