Even when she spoke to Bai Xiaoru on the phone, she heard Bai Xiaoru's voice was weird, but she didn't think much about it.

But now, Bai Xiaoru didn’t arrive after such a long time and her phone was dead, Qin Yu knew that something was wrong.

She had to see Bai Xiaoru immediately.

...

Meanwhile, North.

A dazed Bai Xiaoru tried several times to get out of bed, but found that she had no strength at all.

She fished out her mobile phone.

She tried to call Qin Yu that she might not be able to come.

But the phone was dead.

The charger was on the table.

Bai Xiaoru gritted her teeth and stood up.

She went to the table and tried to charge the phone to call Qin Yu, but just as she reached the table, Bai Xiaoru couldn’t feel her legs and fell to the ground.

She was already in a very poor state of mind because she had not eaten or drunk for three days and nights, and after the fall, her eyes closed and she passed out.

...

At eight o'clock in the evening, Qiao Shaoting returned to Qiao Palace.

He had been away from North for the past few days, visiting other heads of state.

He had just arrived in North by plane.

Upon entering Qiao Palace, Qiao Shaoting heard the sound of a baby crying.

Qin Xiaorou was holding a baby in her arms and rocking him gently, while Old Mrs. Qiao was playing with him.

But the baby was still crying and mouthing the syllable "Mama".

Qiao Shaoting was stunned and then walked over to him.

He had already guessed who the child was, but he asked again, and sure enough, the child was really Bai Xiaoru and Qiao Yaozu's.

Qiao Shaoting's brow knitted.

Old Mrs. Qiao thought Qiao Shaoting was frowning because the child was crying, so she immediately said, "Shaoting, you have never brought up a child, so you might not know. This is how children are. They will cry when they have just left their mothers. They will get used to it after a while."

"Bai Xiaoru is gone." Qiao Shaoting asked out of the blue.

"She’s gone." Old Mrs. Qiao said casually, "I was going to give her the villa and a sum of money, but she didn't take them, saying she was going to live in her relative’s."

Qiao Shaoting pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but after a glance at the child, he turned and walked away.

...

When Qiao Shaoting left, Old Mrs. Qiao was flabbergasted and then looked at Qin Xiaorou, “Shaoting didn't say a word to you. It’s outrageous."

Because Qiao Shaoting left early and came back late, Old Mrs. Qiao didn’t know how Qiao Shaoting and Qin Xiaorou got along, and only heard it from Qin Xiaorou that they got along very well.

However, when Qiao Shaoting came back just now, he did not say a word to Qin Xiaorou and did not even look at her, which made Old Mrs. Qiao feel that something was wrong.

When Qin Xiaorou heard Old Mrs. Qiao's words, an embarrassment and gloom flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

She laughed, "Old Mrs. Qiao, when Shaoting came back, he was shocked to see this child, so he forgot to talk to me. We are such a good couple. There is no need to talk more.”

She also said that she and Qiao Shaoting had a good relationship and that Old Mrs. Qiao should not worry.

Seeing Qin Xiaorou's attitude, Old Mrs. Qiao was relieved and felt that she had really overthought it.

...

Qiao Shaoting left Qiao Palace.

Watson was already waiting outside Qiao Palace.

Qiao Shaoting got into the car.

Watson said, "Mr. Qiao, I have found out that Bai Xiaoru is at a hostel called the Orange Inn."
