Bai Xiaoru gritted her teeth and nodded.

She was not a delicate lady. She had suffered a lot since she was a child, so she could bear the pain.

Time passed.

Only then did Bai Xiaoru realize that she was wrong.

She thought she could endure the pain, but she didn't know it was getting more and more intense.

At first, the pain lasted for more than ten minutes, but the interval was getting shorter and shorter. From a few minutes to a few seconds, the pain hit her body again and again.

When the labor pain came, it hurt so much that she curled up as if her internal organs were forcefully torn apart.

In the end, she cried out in pain.

It hurt so much.

The pain was unbearable.

The doctor comforted Bai Xiaoru, "Miss Bai, hold on. I've informed Old Mrs. Qiao. She's on her way here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

Old Mrs. Qiao appeared.

Although she hated Bai Xiaoru to the core, as it was the time for her to give birth to a baby, her prejudice against her was temporarily put aside.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Qiao's face was full of excitement and nervousness. "Bai Xiaoru, hold on. It's indeed painful for a woman to give birth to a baby. You will be fine soon."

Bai Xiaoru looked at Old Mrs. Qiao.

Perhaps it was because of the extreme pain that she had an illusion.

There were two Old Mrs. Qiao standing in front of her. These two figures shook in front of her and then overlapped.

Then Old Mrs. Qiao disappeared.

Qiao Yaozu appeared in front of her.

Just like in her dream, he smiled at her.

There were bright beads of sweat on his forehead, and his teeth were white and neat.

"Mr. Qiao!" Bai Xiaoru murmured.

She felt like a storm was surging in her heart.

She wanted to see Mr. Qiao.

She missed him so much.

She had never had such a strong and crazy idea.

This thought even urged her to reach out her hand to Old Mrs. Qiao. "I want to see Mr. Qiao. I miss him so much."

Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned.

Of course, she didn't want Bai Xiaoru and Qiao Yaozu to meet at this time.

She said, "It's bloody for a woman to have a baby. No woman wants a man to come to see her. Yaozu had better not come."

"Let me see Mr. Qiao." Bai Xiaoru recognized Old Mrs. Qiao's voice. "Old Mrs. Qiao, please let me see him."

She would only be willful one time.

Mr. Qiao should accompany her the moment she gave birth to his baby.

At least at this moment, she, the child, and Mr. Qiao could be together.

Then she would be satisfied.

Driven by the strong desire, Bai Xiaoru kept begging Old Mrs. Qiao, "Old Mrs. Qiao, I beg you. At last, let him accompany me. After that, I swear I will never see him again. Please!"

Because of the sharp pain, Bai Xiaoru stuttered.

Old Mrs. Qiao didn't answer until the doctor whispered to her, "Old Mrs. Qiao, this pregnant woman has a strong desire now. It's best to satisfy her at this time. Otherwise, it will affect her delivery."

Old Mrs. Qiao thought her great-grandson was more important than anything else.

As soon as she heard that it might affect the delivery of the baby, she couldn't care so much.

She said, "I'm going to call Yaozu over. Wait a minute. I'll ask him to come here right away."

At the same time, Qiao Yaozu came to Qiao Shaoting.

He had been pondering over what Qiao Shaoting had told him before.

In the end, his mind seemed to be going to explode.

He figured it out.

He could only choose between his friend and his wife.

Therefore, he chose his wife.

He would never forget that when he was bullied and beaten in his childhood, it was Fang Liyuan who helped him.

Since then, he had been determined to marry Fang Liyuan.

As for Xiaoru...

Qiao Yaozu's heart ached.

Xiaoru would always be his good friend, and he would never forget her for the rest of his life.

But he wouldn't go to see her again. He had to do this for his wife.

He told Qiao Shaoting his answer.

When he spoke, he lowered his head. He didn't feel relieved after making the decision. Instead, he looked lonely and disappointed.

Qiao Shaoting said in a low voice, "Since you have made up your mind, don't think about it anymore."

Qiao Yaozu looked up at him and asked in a low voice, "Will Xiaoru live a good life in the future?"

Qiao Shaoting was stunned.

Would Bai Xiaoru live a happy life in the future?

The answer was, of course, no.

She wouldn't live well because it was her destiny.

There were billions of people in the world, and it was impossible for everyone to live a good life.

For example, it was impossible for everyone to become powerful or superior.

Life was a mix of happiness and sadness.

"Yaozu, everyone has their own lives. You don't need to care about other people's lives. You just need to take care of yourself and your family," said Qiao Shaoting.

Qiao Yaozu nodded.

He asked in a lower voice, "Shaoting, can I see Xiaoru for the last time?"

"Bro, since you have made up your mind, there is no need to do that."

Qiao Yaozu hesitated.

About five minutes later, the hesitation in his eyes disappeared.

He said, "Then I'll never see her again."

After saying that, he was about to leave when a servant ran over.

The servant ran in a hurry. When she stopped, she was out of breath. "Hello, Mr. Qiao."

Then she gave the phone to Qiao Yaozu and said, "Mr. Qiao, Old Mrs. Qiao is calling you. She has something urgent to tell you."

Qiao Yaozu took over the phone and was about to put it near his ear but accidentally touched the hands-free button. Old Mrs. Qiao's voice rang, "Yaozu, Bai Xiaoru is about to give birth. Come here right now. I'll ask the servant to bring you here."

After saying that, she hung up the phone as if she was a little unhappy and was sure that Qiao Yaozu would come.

Qiao Yaozu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. "Xiaoru is about to give birth. I'm going to see her."

Then he said to the servant happily, "Now take me to see Xiaoru."

When the servant was about to take him away, she was stopped by Qiao Shaoting.

He fixed his eyes on Qiao Yaozu and said, "If you want to forget Bai Xiaoru and respect your marriage with Liyuan, then don't go."

Qiao Yaozu stopped.

He said subconsciously, "But Xiaoru is going to give birth to a baby."

"If you go to see her, Liyuan will be unhappy," Qiao Shaoting added in a low voice.

He asked Qiao Yaozu not to see Bai Xiaoru, not for the sake of Fang Liyuan, but for the sake of Bai Xiaoru.

He was worried that after Qiao Yaozu left, he would have an affair with Bai Xiaoru again.

In this way, Bai Xiaoru would have a fantasy of nothingness and harm herself.

Qiao Shaoting knew that women were the most fragile and helpless when they were giving birth to babies.
