Then Fang Liyuan continued, "I don't want to argue with you two lowly women."

After that, she turned around and left.

Fang Panpan was about to chase after Fang Liyuan but was stopped by Qin Yu.

Qin Yu said, "Forget it. If Fang Liyuan dares to come again next time, I will kick her out before she can speak."

"This woman has gone too far," Fang Panpan huffed and said. "When she begged you last time, she looked like a puppy, but after learning that Qiao Shaoting woke up, she showed her true colors."

"We have not argued with her, but she even came to provoke us. She's gone too far."

Qin Yu didn't say anything but bit her lip.

She knew what kind of person Fang Liyuan was

Fang Liyuan often talked nonsense, so Qin Yu would not take her words seriously.

But just now, Fang Liyuan's words made Qin Yu annoyed.

Qin Yu couldn't take those words as nonsense.

Even if Qin Yu knew that Fang Liyuan was probably trying to irritate her by exaggerating the fact, those words made Qin Yu out of control because those words were about Qiao Shaoting and her new wife.

A week had passed in the twinkling of an eye.

Qiao Shaoting went out early and came back late every day.

He left Qiao Palace to the presidential palace before dawn.

It was usually early in the morning when he returned to Qiao Palace from work.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaorou had been staying at Qiao Palace for a week.

She didn't have many hobbies, so she usually went to the garden to see the flowers, water them, or paint.

Because of her gentle and courteous personality, Qin Xiaorou had received a lot of praise from people in Qiao Palace.

Of course, Old Mrs. Qiao favored Qin Xiaorou a lot.

The servants also liked Qin Xiaorou.

Only Fang Liyuan didn't like Qin Xiaorou. She just thought Qin Xiaorou was a coward and easy to be bullied.

One day, Qin Xiaorou took the easel and was about to go to the garden.

She wanted to paint the flowers in the garden.

However, as soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she heard a bang.

It turned out that a servant who was cleaning fell down.

Qin Xiaorou immediately put down the easel and ran to the servant.

She helped the servant up and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

The servant was flattered. "Mrs. Qiao, I am fine."

Seeing that the servant was about to clean again, Qin Xiaorou immediately stopped her and said, "You just fell down. It must be hurt. Go back and have a rest."

The servant looked embarrassed and said, "But..."

Qin Xiaorou smiled. "It doesn't matter. I'll arrange for someone else to clean the room. You can go to have a rest now."

The servant was grateful to Qin Xiaorou, "Thank you, Mrs. Qiao."

After the servant left, Qin Xiaorou picked up the mop.

Although there were many servants in Qiao Palace, and she could arrange another servant to clean the room, she had little to do, so she thought it was better to clean it by herself.

Then Qin Xiaorou cleaned the corridor connected to each room.

When she was cleaning a bedroom, Qin Xiaorou happened to see a painting hanging on the bedside table.

It was a portrait of Qiao Shaoting and a woman.

Wearing a suit, Qiao Shaoting looked ahead with a smile.

A woman in a white wedding dress snuggled up on Qiao Shaoting's shoulder.

Qin Xiaorou recognized the woman in the painting at first sight.

It was Qin Yu.

Qin Wan had shown her some photos of Qin Yu before.

After a glance, Qin Xiaorou had already remembered Qin Yu.

Qin Xiaorou looked at the painting for a long time before leaving the bedroom.

When Qin Xiaorou walked out of the bedroom, she saw a servant walking towards her.

The servant was startled when she saw the mop in Qin Xiaorou's hand. She grabbed the mop and said, "Mrs. Qiao, this is our job. How could you clean the room? Please let me do it."

"I am free, so I want to clean the room for a while."

"Mrs. Qiao, you are such delicate and noble. You should not do such hard work."

"It's not a big deal. We are all human beings. Besides, I have little to do."

"Mrs. Qiao, you can't say that. If Old Mrs. Qiao sees it, she will be unhappy and blame us for asking you to clean the house."

Hearing the servant's words, Qin Xiaorou stopped talking.

It was not until then that she realized that if Old Mrs. Qiao saw it, she would punish those servants.

"By the way, who used to live in this bedroom?" A moment later, Qin Xiaorou pointed at the bedroom with the portrait.

The servant answered, "It used to be Mr. Qiao's room. After you and Mr. Qiao got married, this bedroom was unused. Mr. Qiao doesn't allow us to clean it."

Qin Xiaorou looked down, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

When she entered the bedroom just now, it was very clean and tidy without even dust.

But the servant said that Qiao Shaoting did not allow anyone to clean the room.

Therefore, it could only prove that Qiao Shaoting often cleaned this bedroom himself.

What kind of thing could make a dignified president clean a bedroom in person? Qin Xiaorou thought it might be the portrait.

Qin Xiaorou smiled bitterly.

It occurred to her that she had never taken wedding photos with Qiao Shaoting.

Later, Qin Xiaorou went back to her bedroom and called Qin Wan.

Qin Xiaorou asked Qin Wan about her wedding photos with her brother-in-law.

Qin Wan told Qin Xiaorou in detail. She smiled and said, "Your brother-in-law doesn't like to be too intimate with me in front of outsiders. But when we took wedding photos, we needed to be intimate."

"Your brother-in-law's face was as red as a monkey's butt at that time."

While speaking, Qin Wan suddenly thought of something.

She stopped laughing and asked, "Xiaorou, have you taken wedding photos with Mr. Qiao?"

Qin Xiaorou was afraid that Qin Wan would worry about her.

Thus, Qin Xiaorou hurriedly smiled and said, "We are going to take photos soon. That's why I come to ask you."

Qin Wan felt relieved.

She asked, "Did you mention it, or did Mr. Qiao offer to say that?"

Qin Xiaorou was a little flustered.

Qin Wan guessed that it must be her sister who offered to mention it.

But it did not matter. It was a good thing that Mr. Qiao was willing to take the wedding photos.

Qin Wan smiled and said, "Anyway, you and Mr. Qiao are a couple. It doesn't matter who mentioned it. Xiaorou, you have to remember that taking wedding photos can enhance the relationship between a couple. You have to take this chance to do something."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xiaorou was absent-minded for a moment.

The picture she saw before must be the wedding photo of Mr. Qiao and that girl.

How beautiful it was!

Qin Xiaorou had never seen the light in Mr. Qiao's eyes and the bright smile on his face before.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Qiao Shaoting came back from the presidential palace.

Then he entered the dark bedroom.

Without turning on the light, he went straight to the sofa, lay down, and closed his eyes.

About five minutes later, Qiao Shaoting heard a low female voice. "Mr. Qiao, are you asleep?"

A trace of anger flashed through Qiao Shaoting's eyes. "It has nothing to do with you."

"Mr. Qiao, I saw the portrait of you and the girl in your old bedroom."
