Seeing that Qiao Yaozu had agreed, Fang Liyuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Time passed, and soon, it was midnight.

Qiao Yaozu almost couldn't hold on any longer.

He was not only cold but also particularly sleepy.

He almost fell asleep several times, but he suppressed his feeling of being sleepy.

His wife was so kind and gentle to him. He couldn't let her down.

His wife just asked him to say one sentence to Shaoting. He would be willing to undergo the most severe trials if she asked him to.

"Yaozu, Shaoting is back," Fang Liyuan said.

Qiao Yaozu's eyes were half-closed.

He looked through the French window and saw Qiao Shaoting.

Fang Liyuan said to him, "Shaoting is in the garden. Go and talk to him now. Do you remember what I said to you?"

Qiao Yaozu nodded. "Yes, honey."

Fang Liyuan pushed him and urged, "Go!"

Qiao Shaoting came back to Qiao Palace from the presidential palace very late.

But he was not sleepy at all.

He even had the idea of driving to City A.

But in the end, he gave up this idea because he remembered how angry Qin Yu was that night.

He had to take it slow and wait until Qin Yu calmed down.

He walked around the garden and was about to go upstairs when he saw Qiao Yaozu come out.

Astonishment flashed through Qiao Shaoting's eyes.

Why hadn't his elder brother gone to bed yet?

'Shaoting!" Qiao Yaozu, wrapped in a big cotton coat, ran towards him.

Ordinary people would look ugly in big cotton clothes, but Qiao Yaozu was good-looking, so even if he was dressed in a cotton coat, he didn't look bloated or ugly at all.

"Bro, it's so late. Why don't you go to bed?" Qiao Shaoting frowned.

Qiao Yaozu was out of breath. "Shaoting, I have something to tell you."

Qiao Shaoting saw that Qiao Yaozu didn't go to bed so late at night, so he thought it was something serious. He hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Yaozu recalled what Fang Liyuan had told him and said, "I love my wife very much, and I can not live without her."

"If I lose her, my life is worse than death. My wife is the most important person in my life. Without her, I would rather die."

"Anyway, I love my wife very much."

Qiao Shaoting was stunned.

"Is that what you want to tell me?"

Qiao Yaozu nodded.

He yawned and added, "Shaoting. I'm going to bed. Good night."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Qiao Shaoting's eyes narrowed.

It was already strange for Qiao Yaozu to come to him and talk to him late at night, and what he said was like completing a task.

"Yaozu!" he called out.

Qiao Yaozu stopped.

He turned around and rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Shaoting, what's the matter? I want to sleep now."

Qiao Shaoting stared at him and asked, "Have you been waiting for me to come back and tell me this?"

Qiao Yaozu nodded.

He said tiredly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Shaoting. I'm so cold and sleepy."

Qiao Shaoting's gaze became more fierce. He said word by word, "Who taught you these words?"

"My..." Before he said another word, he immediately corrected himself, "Those words were what I wanted to tell you."

Qiao Shaoting's eyes turned cold.
