Qin Xiaorou stuttered, "Qin Wan, how did you know that?"

"You don't know yet?"

"No."

Qin Wan smiled and said, "Then Mr. Qiao may want to give you a surprise. I learned from my father that Mr. Qiao has the plan to take you to the party of Lantern Festival of another country tomorrow."

Qin Xiaorou felt her heart pounding and a little dizzy.

Mr. Qiao had been cold to her these days. Why did he want to take her to the party of Lantern Festival?

Could it be...?

Qin Xiaorou had never fought for anything. She even lied to Old Mrs. Qiao to keep Mr. Qiao's secret, making Old Mrs. Qiao misunderstand that she had a good relationship with Mr. Qiao. What was more, Qin Xiaorou had never made trouble for Mr. Qiao.

Did her words and deeds move Mr. Qiao?

That was why Mr. Qiao took her to the party?

Although it seemed impossible, there was no other reason except this.

"Xiaorou, I've told you that love will grow after a long time, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. You must seize the opportunity and try to get closer to Mr. Qiao," Qin Wan reminded Qin Xiaorou.

After talking with Qin Wan, Qin Xiaorou was in a daze for a moment. Then she said to the servant, Xiaoli, "Prepare warm water for me. I want to take a bath."

Qin Xiaorou took a milk bath with petals.

After the bath, she asked Xiaoli to help her put on makeup.

Xiaoli was confused.

She said, "Miss Qin, Mr. Qiao comes back so late every day. You will fall asleep before he comes back, so he won't see what you look like."

"Do as I said," Qin Xiaorou insisted.

Xiaoli had no choice but to put on makeup for Qin Xiaorou. Qin Xiaorou looked at herself in the mirror for a long while with a faint smile on her face.

She was so beautiful.

Since Mr. Qiao planned to take her to the party of Lantern Festival tomorrow, she guessed he might come back earlier today?

At night, Qin Xiaorou didn't turn off the light as usual.

She sat on the bed and waited.

Time passed.

Qiao Shaoting didn't come back.

However, Qin Xiaorou was still waiting.

In the early morning, the bedroom door was finally pushed open.

Qiao Shaoting was surprised to see the bright room.

Before, when he came back at this time, the lights in the bedroom had been turned off.

Subconsciously, he looked to the bed and found Qin Xiaorou didn't sleep. Instead, she sat on the bed.

Qiao Shaoting was a man knowing a little about women. He wouldn't find women's makeup unless they had heavy ones.

Qin Xiaorou wore light make-up, so Qiao Shaoting didn't notice that.

He frowned and said coldly, "Turn off the light. It's time to sleep."

Qin Xiaorou was stunned.

She thought Qiao Shaoting would say something to her, but she didn't expect that he would just ask her to turn off the light and go to bed.

"Mr. Qiao, wait." Seeing that Qiao Shaoting was about to turn off the light, Qin Xiaorou shouted.

Qiao Shaoting looked at Qin Xiaorou impatiently.

Qin Xiaorou plucked up the courage and asked, "Mr. Qiao, are you going to take me to the party of Lantern Festival in another country tomorrow?"

Qiao Shaoting's eyes became sharp. "How do you know?"

"I heard about it." Looking at Qiao Shaoting's sharp eyes, Qin Xiaorou felt a little uneasy.

Qiao Shaoting said, "Yes. That is your duty as my wife. Since you married me, you have to pay for the honor. It's natural for you to go to another country with me."

Qin Xiaorou looked away and said, "I see. I'm happy to go out with you."

Qiao Shaoting didn't say anything more but turned off the light.

It was getting late.

But the two people in the bedroom didn't fall asleep.

Qiao Shaoting was thinking about the Lantern Festival tomorrow.

He would appear in City A with Qin Xiaorou.

It was a familiar but also strange city.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, all the people would come to the street for fun, including Qin Yu.

At that time, the Qin Yu would see him and Qin Xiaorou showing up together.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shaoting felt as if a knife were piercing his heart.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaorou in bed also felt terrible.

She was very happy to receive the call from Qin Wan today.

But now, the joy was gone.

It turned out that she was flattering herself.

At night, a bitter smile appeared on Qin Xiaorou's face.

The next day came soon.

Because of Lantern Festival, the bakery of Qin Yu and Fang Panpan closed ahead of schedule.

After closing the shop, Qin Yu and Fang Panpan went to buy masks.

This was the fun of the Lantern Festival.

On this special day, all the people would wear masks.

Fang Panpan bought a mask of a panda and a mask of a rabbit for Qin Yu.

After buying the masks, Qin Yu received a call from Wen Tian.

Wen Tian wanted to have fun with Qin Yu but was refused.

After all, Wen Tian had a husband.

If Qin Yu had fun with Wen Tian, she would be the third wheel.

"Wen Tian, I'm going to attend the party with my friends. It's not fun to have too many people. So, enjoy your time with my brother-in-law," said Qin Yu.

Hearing what Qin Yu said, Wen Tian didn't insist.

She smiled and said, "Well, maybe we will meet tonight. But since we are wearing masks, we may not be able to recognize each other."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Qiao Shaoting brought Qin Xiaorou to City A.

This was the first time that they went out together.

It was also the first time that Qin Xiaorou, as Qiao Shaoting's wife, had appeared in public.

Qin Xiaorou was dressed in traditional clothes. Her black hair was pulled up, making her look noble.

When she was with Qiao Shaoting, she kept smiling modestly and politely. Her manners and temperament were perfect.

This was what a president's wife should look like.

Later, Qiao Shaoting, Qin Xiaorou, the president, and the mayor of City A got on the flower cart together.

The unique colorful cart would run around in City A later.

At the same time, the people of City A came to the street.

They didn't get the news until they got to the street.

The important guests at the party of Lantern Festival tonight were the president of the North and his wife.

The crowd burst into an uproar.

"Oh my God! It's the president of the North. I thought a star would come. I didn't expect him to be the president."

"I knew it wouldn't be a star from the very beginning. After all, people all said that it was an important guest. But I didn't expect that it would be the president of the North and his wife."

"The president of the North just got married. Now, he brought his wife here. It seems that he likes her very much. That's why he can't wait to show her to everyone."

Fang Panpan and Qin Yu were stunned when they heard that the guests were Qiao Shaoting and his wife.

Fang Panpan was rendered speechless.

It never occurred to her that Qiao Shaoting would come here.

After all, with the relationship between Qiao Shaoting and Qin Yu in the past, it was impossible for Qiao Shaoting to come to City A to take part in the party. What was worse, he took his wife with him.

What was on Qiao Shaoting's mind?

Qin Yu was also stunned.

It never occurred to her that the important guest would be Qiao Shaoting.
