Liu Qingqing answered, "Sister Liyuan, don't worry. I'm a reliable woman. By the time people find out that Yaozu has taken some drugs, Bai Xiaoru would take the blame."

"But I'm still a little worried," Fang Liyuan said. "Will Shaoting suspect it? I think Bai Xiaoru is pregnant, and it's impossible for her to drug Qiao Yaozu."

Liu Qingqing put her lips close to Fang Liyuan's ear and said, "So, Sister Liyuan, we have to act the last scene tonight. If this scene is finished, Mr. Qiao won't doubt it."

At the same time, Qiao Yaozu and Bai Xiaoru were taking a walk in the garden.

It was almost the end of summer. The weather was cool at night, and walking in the garden was indescribably comfortable.

"Mr. Qiao, don't come to me after I give birth to the baby." Bai Xiaoru had long wanted to say this to Qiao Yaozu, but she couldn't pluck up the courage to say it out. Tonight, she finally said that to him.

In the afternoon, the fetal movement was very strong. The doctor came and said that Bai Xiaoru's baby would be born in a few days.

Qiao Yaozu was stunned.

Staring blankly at her, he asked, "Xiaoru, why can't I come to you?"

Bai Xiaoru forced a smile and answered, "My husband may come at that time. If he sees you come to me, he must be a little jealous."

Qiao Yaozu thought for a while and then understood what she meant.

He waved his hand and said, "Xiaoru, we are friends."

"Yes, we are friends, but my husband will still be unhappy." Bai Xiaoru begged him, "So after I give birth to the baby, please don't come to me again."

Qiao Yaozu fell into silence.

Bai Xiaoru added, "Mr. Qiao, didn't you say that you were pleased to see me happy these days? As long as I am happy, you can do anything for me."

Qiao Yaozu nodded.

"So, please agree with what I just said," she continued. "Only in this way can I be happy."

Qiao Yaozu looked at her with hesitation. "Xiaoru, will you be happy if I don't see you?"

Bai Xiaoru nodded in pain.

She felt terrible and heartbroken.

She was against her will again.

During this period of time, Mr. Qiao came to see her often, which was her happiest day.

God knew how much she loved such days!

But she knew that such time would not last long.

It was impossible for her and Mr. Qiao to talk and walk freely like this forever.

Therefore, after she gave birth to the baby, she had to endure the pain and stop meeting Mr. Qiao in order to avoid greater trouble in the future.

Although she was very reluctant to leave, she knew it was her fate as a servant.

There was nothing she could do about it.

Qiao Yaozu finally agreed.

He lowered his head and looked very depressed. "Then I will do as you said."

Bai Xiaoru wanted to comfort him when she saw his depressed look, but she was too sad to say a word. It was as if her throat was blocked by something.

After a long while, she said in a low voice, "Mr. Qiao, it's too late. Let's go back."

"Okay." Although Qiao Yaozu said yes, he was obviously more disappointed.

After returning to Qiao Palace, he met Fang Liyuan, who was waiting for him at the bedroom door.

She did something that Qiao Yaozu had never expected, which made him scared to death.
