How she wish that she and Mr. Qiao had met earlier?

Would Mr. Qiao fall in love with her if she met him before Qin Yu?

In the darkness, the corners of Qin Xiaorou's lips curled into a bitter smile.

She shouldn't think so.

For she had actually met Mr. Qiao before that girl.

She had met him when she was fourteen.

Only then it was just a glimpse, no acquaintance or even a word.

If she had had the courage to speak to Mr. Qiao then, would it have ended differently?

A bitter smile, even more bitter.

How silly she was?

How could it have been different?

At that time she was only fourteen years old, an immature girl, and Mr. Qiao would not have been interested in a girl.

So some things might have been predetermined early on.

There was no way to change it.

It is a fate and we have no choice.

This old saying is really true.

...

The next day.

Bai Xiaoru went to City A to attend the funeral of the distant relative.

The funeral was splendid and many people came. Bai Xiaoru was inconspicuous in the crowd.

She was ready to leave after the funeral but then she saw a person.

Qin Yu.

Bai Xiaoru was flabbergasted.

Was she blind? How could she meet Qin Yu here?

Bai Xiaoru rubbed her eyes hard and then fixed her eyes to see that it was indeed Qin Yu.

Qin Yu also saw Bai Xiaoru here.

She was also stunned.

After a long time, Qin Yu came to her senses first and said, "Xiaoru, what are you doing here?"

It had been a long time since she saw Bai Xiaoru, but somehow when she saw her again, she still felt a sense of familiarity and closeness.

"My relative passed away, so I came here to mourn for her." Bai Xiaoru said, "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

Qin Yu said, "Your relative's family ordered a lot of desserts from our shop to entertain those who came to mourn, so I rushed over to place the desserts."

There is a tradition in City A.

It is a happy event for an old man to die naturally, so the funeral must be treated as a happy event. On the day of the funeral, not only will music be played, but also many desserts will be ordered.

Bai Xiaoru subconsciously said, "Are you working as a shop assistant in a dessert shop now?"

Qin Yu shook her head, "I have opened my own dessert shop."

"That's nice." Bai Xiaoru said.

"Do you have time? You can come to my dessert shop and have a look around." Qin Yu invited Bai Xiaoru.

Qin Yu was happy to meet someone she knew, even if she was from Qiao Palace.

She was eager to talk with Bai Xiaoru.

A hesitation flashed in Bai Xiaoru's eyes.

She also wanted to go to Qin Yu's shop to have a look and talk, but she was worried about her son.

She wanted to refuse, but she was afraid that this meeting with Qin Yu might be the last time they would meet in their lives, and that there would be no chance for them to meet again.

"Xiaoyu, wait a second. Let me make a phone call." Bai Xiaoru said.

Qin Yu nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you. I'm also busy now. I have to place the desserts. Meet me inside after the phone call."

...

Later, Bai Xiaoru called the villa maid.

The maid told Bai Xiaoru that the baby was fine.

"He woke up and fussed for milk. We fed him formula and he accepted it. Now he's playing." The maid told Bai Xiaoru.

Bai Xiaoru was relieved to hear this.

She told the maid that she might be back later than scheduled.
