What's more, she felt that the child was pitiful.

Although he was born into a powerful family, his father was dumb and his mother was a humble servant.

Fang Liyuan was too narrow-minded.

Old Mrs. Qiao, though fond of her great-grandson, was too old.

It would be best for the boy to stay with his own mother.

But Qin Xiaorou knew that it was impossible.

So being raised by her would be the best way.

She would take care of the child as if it were her own.

Later, when she and Mr. Qiao had a child of their own, the two children would be brothers.

Qin Xiaorou's words made Qiao Shaoting's dark eyes flash with shock.

He had not expected that Qin Xiaorou would be willing to raise his elder brother's child.

In fact, that child was a headache for him, too.

Old Mrs. Qiao had mentioned it to him many times, but he had not replied.

It was not that he did not want to reply, but he could not think of a better way.

After a moment of shock, Qiao Shaoting's dark eyes gazed at Qin Xiaorou.

He still couldn't believe that Qin Xiaorou was willing to raise someone else's child.

He wondered if Qin Xiaorou's words were true or not.

When he looked into Qin Xiaorou's eyes, her eyes were honest, without the slightest hint of fakery.

Only then did Qiao Shaoting say in a low voice, "Ask the old lady first and see what she suggests."

...

The next day, Qin Xiaorou said the same thing to Old Mrs. Qiao.

Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned to hear this.

Give this child to Qin Xiaorou to raise ...

This was the best, but Old Mrs. Qiao didn't dare to think about it earlier.

Because in her opinion, it was impossible.

Qin Xiaorou would have her own child with Qiao Shaoting in the future, so how could she raise someone else's child?

But now, Qin Xiaorou herself had offered ...

Old Mrs. Qiao was, of course, more than happy to do so.

After such a long time, she knew Qin Xiaorou's nature, and the child would certainly be well treated if she gave him to Qin Xiaorou.

And since Qin Xiaorou was from a noble family, giving the child to her would also clear his humble origin.

This was a good thing!

An absolute good thing!

"Qin Xiaorou, are you really willing?" Old Mrs. Qiao asked.

Qin Xiaorou nodded her head.

She said, "Old Mrs. Qiao, since I’ve offered, I am willing to do so."

Old Mrs. Qiao was filled with joy.

She said, "Great, Qin Xiaorou. Of course I am happy if you are willing, but this is not a trivial matter. You and Shaoting will have your own children in the future, and it is not proper to raise other people's child, so you should think about it and give me an answer when you have thought it through."

Qin Xiaorou had already thought it through.

But she nodded, "Okay, Old Mrs. Qiao, I'll think it over."

...

At the villa not far from Qiao Palace, Bai Xiaoru was breastfeeding her baby.

She had no idea about Qin Xiaorou's desire to bring up her child.

Nor did she know how long she would be able to stay with the child.

She dare not think about it at all.

She was afraid that if she thought about it, her heart would ache and she would not be able to bear it.

All she could do now was to give the child enough motherly love while she was still with him, and that was all she could do now.

In the afternoon, Bai Xiaoru suddenly received a phone call.

The call came from one of Bai Xiaoru's distant relatives.

Although it was a distant relative, since Bai Xiaoru had very few relatives, this was kind of a close one.

The phone number belonged to the distant relative, but the caller was the distant relative's son, Bai Xiaoru's cousin.

The cousin told Bai Xiaoru that his mother had passed away this morning and called Bai Xiaoru to let her know.
