The smile on Wen Tian's face widened.

Wen Qian and Fang Panpan also laughed.

City A and the North were neighbors, not far away.

But the scenes were totally different.

Just as Qin Yu and Fang Panpan were laughing happily, Qiao Palace was not peaceful.

Everyone had their own thoughts and plans.

The most simple-minded one was Qiao Yaozu.

One day, he went to see Bai Xiaoru again.

Although he had been sad for a long while because Bai Xiaoru didn't allow him to see her last time, a few days later, he began to miss her again. Especially after hearing from Fang Liyuan that pregnant people should often drink some soup and water since they were not in good health, he specially asked the cook to make soups.

When the soup was ready, the servant was going to send it to Bai Xiaoru's room. But after thinking for a long while, Qiao Yaozu decided to take it to her in person.

Seeing Qiao Yaozu again, Bai Xiaoru had mixed feelings.

She murmured, "Mr. Qiao, I told you not to come to see me."

Qiao Yaozu avoided this question.

He handed the soup in Bai Xiaoru's hand and said, "Xiaoru, this is dove soup. It's good for pregnant women. Have a taste."

Bai Xiaoru didn't take it.

She said, "Mr. Qiao, you can leave now. I don't want to drink any dove soup."

"Taste it, Xiaoru," Qiao Yaozu insisted.

"Mr. Qiao, I won't drink it."

After Bai Xiaoru refused several times, Qiao Yaozu's face turned flushed with embarrassment. "Xiaoru, don't you want to be my good friend now? Do you really want to abandon me after you have a husband? Please don't do this. I want to be your good friend for the rest of my life."

"Last time you said that you didn't want me to see you again. I was so sad that I couldn't fall asleep every day. I really miss you, and I also want to see you every day. Xiaoru, please don't be like this. We are still good friends."

Subconsciously, Bai Xiaoru looked into Qiao Yaozu's eyes.

Sure enough, his eyes were full of tiredness.

"Mr. Qiao, I don't deserve your favor," said Bai Xiaoru.

"You are my best friend," Qiao Yaozu said. "I like you the best."

Bai Xiaoru's heart skipped a beat.

Then he added, "I also like my wife the most. You rank the second, and the first is my wife."

Bai Xiaoru calmed down, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

She knew that in Mr. Qiao's mind, Fang Liyuan was the first one he cared about.

He loved his wife the most.

No matter how bad Fang Liyuan was, Mr. Qiao still loved her.

"Mr. Qiao, I'll drink it," Bai Xiaoru took the dove soup and said. "Can you leave after I drink it?"

Qiao Yaozu shook his head and then nodded.

She drank the dove soup in one gulp.

She handed the empty bowl to him and said, "Mr. Qiao, can you leave now?"

Qiao Yaozu took the empty bowl and left, but he came back at night with a bowl of soup in his hand. He left after Bai Xiaoru drank it up.

Things went on like this for several days, and rumors began to spread in Qiao Palace.

Many people gossiped that Bai Xiaoru went back to Qiao Palace with a big belly, and she had an ambiguous relationship with Qiao Yaozu. He always came to see her and brought her soups without letting Fang Liyuan know.

Everyone in Qiao Palace knew that Qiao Yaozu was a fool, so it must be Bai Xiaoru who instigated him to do such a thing. For a moment, she became a tramp that everyone loathed.
