After hanging up the phone, Qiao Shaoting remained sunk in thought.

Suddenly, he was eager to return to the presidential palace immediately.

...

Half an hour later, Qiao Shaoting returned to the presidential palace.

The news, of course, reached Qin Xiaorou quickly.

This was the second time that Qiao Shaoting had made an exception for returning so early.

But this time, Qiao Shaoting did not come to Qin Xiaorou first. He went to a bedroom and then walked in.

In the bedroom, there was a portrait of Qin Yu and him.

Qiao Shaoting gazed at the portrait of Qin Yu and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He said in a low voice, "Qin Yu, this is your wish, isn't it? If this is your wish," he paused, "then I will help you achieve it."

...

It was a long time before Qiao Shaoting came out of the bedroom and he saw Qin Xiaorou.

"Mr. Qiao." Qin Xiaorou whispered.

Qiao Shaoting nodded slightly.

Qin Xiaorou said, "Mr. Qiao, I heard from the servants that you have returned, so I ordered the kitchen to prepare some dishes. Let's have dinner together."

Qiao Shaoting did not refuse.

He went with Qin Xiaorou to the dining room.

The dishes on the table were all Qiao Shaoting's favourite.

Qiao Shaoting glanced at Qin Xiaorou in surprise.

Qin Xiaorou smiled gently, "I asked the old lady about your preferences."

This remark, however, caused a flash of displeasure under Qiao Shaoting's eyes.

He said, "Qin Xiaorou, don't cross the line, because,"

"Because no matter what I do, Mr. Qiao will never have me in mind, right?" Before Qiao Shaoting finished his words, Qin Xiaorou spoke straight out.

Qiao Shaoting pursed his thin lips.

Qin Xiaorou's smile remained the same, her lips a little stiff, "Mr. Qiao, you don't need to remind me. I understand everything. Our current relationship, although we are not husband and wife, we should be partners. As partners, Mr. Qiao and I have a long, long road ahead of us, so naturally I should be more attentive to my partner. "

"Mr. Qiao, please rest assured that I will not have any delusions that I should not have, not in the past, not now and not in the future."

These words of Qin Xiaorou turned the displeasure under Qiao Shaoting's eyes into appreciation.

It was an appreciation for Qin Xiaorou.

This girl, she was smart enough.

She had a clear head, knew her status and knew what he detested, and would not cross the line.

Of course, while appreciating Qin Xiaorou, Qiao Shaoting also felt a little guilty.

After all, what young girl wants to be a "puppet", even if she has brought the family great honour?

Qiao Shaoting pondered for a moment before saying, "Qin Xiaorou, if you meet the right man one day, we can divorce and I will give you freedom."

Qin Xiaorou smiled, "Mr. Qiao, there won't be such a day. As the first lady, I have to be a good example to the women of North. I’ll be a good wife, a good mother. How could I betray my marriage?"

"So no matter what, I will be with Mr. Qiao for the rest of my life as a partner so that Mr. Qiao will not be among national debate or even used by others because of family issues. This is my duty, a duty that I have understood from the first day I married Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Shaoting did not say anything, but he felt guiltier towards Qin Xiaorou.

...

The following day.

Something big happened.
