When seeing Qiao Shaoting coming, Qin Xiaorou was stunned.

Qiao Shaoting hadn't been back for a few days.

She knew where Qiao Shaoting had gone.

City A.

Qiao Shaoting must have gone to City A to see Qin Yu.

Since Qiao Shaoting left, Qin Xiaorou had been in a trance, but the company of Xiaobao had given her some comfort.

When she saw Qiao Shaoting, she was almost in disbelief.

She suspected that she was hallucinating.

Qiao Shaoting should not be back so soon.

"Mr. Qiao, is that you?" Qin Xiaorou couldn't help but say.

Qiao Shaoting stepped forward, but his gaze fell on Xiaobao.

Xiaobao seemed to have put on a lot of weight these days.

A pair of round eyes were looking at him.

A moment later, Xiaobao stretched out his hands to grab Qiao Shaoting.

After failing to do so, he burst out laughing.

The boy was having a good time.

It was clear that Qin Xiaorou was sincere about this child.

"Qin Xiaorou, I'm sorry." Qiao Shaoting opened his mouth, his voice low and hoarse.

Qin Xiaorou was certain that it was really Qiao Shaoting who had returned.

It was Qiao Shaoting's voice.

A familiar and unforgettable voice.

"I have failed you." Qiao Shaoting spat out another sentence.

Qin Xiaorou held her breath for a moment.

Such words were something Qiao Shaoting had never said to her before.

A moment later, Qin Xiaorou spat out, "Mr. Qiao, you don't have to be sorry. You've made it clear to me before we got married. You didn't fail me."

She was a smart girl, so she understood what Qiao Shaoting meant by "sorry and fail".

Qiao Shaoting gave a bitter laugh.

He had made it very clear to Qin Xiaorou before the wedding.

But at that time, he thought that Qin Xiaorou married him because of his status and position.

Qin Xiaorou wanted to use him to strengthen the Qin family's position.

But after spending so much time with her, he saw that this was not the case.

Qin Xiaorou was a good woman.

She truly loved him.

She bore his callousness and coldness without complaint.

He was sorry for Qin Xiaorou.

"Qin Xiaorou, in the future, if you meet a man you love and the man also loves you, we can break off the engagement and you can go and pursue your own happiness." Qiao Shaoting said.

"Mr. Qiao, I, Qin Xiaorou, only got married one time in my life." Qin Xiaorou said heavily.

Qiao Shaoting did not speak again.

He stared at Qin Xiaorou for a long time before he said quietly, "It's late, go to bed early."

...

A week had passed in the blink of an eye.

During this week, Qiao Shaoting was fine.

Every day he went to the presidential palace and returned to the Qiao Palace on time.

And he spent more time with Qin Xiaorou.

Old Mrs. Qiao felt very relieved.

At first, she was worried that Qiao Shaoting had disappeared and gone to see Qin Yu in City A.

Now, it seemed that this was not the case.

Since his return, Qiao Shaoting had been very attentive to Qin Xiaorou.

Just when Old Mrs. Qiao was full of joy, she suddenly received a call from Bai Hongzhang.

Bai Hongzhang was asking about the status of Qiao Shaoting at the Qiao Palace.

Old Mrs. Qiao was full of praise, "He is good, and he's more willing to spend time with his family now."

But Bai Hongzhang, on the other end of the line, said, "Old Mrs. Qiao, I think there is something wrong with Mr. Qiao."

Old Mrs. Qiao was stunned.

Qiao Shaoting was not right?

How could that be?

He was obviously very fine.

Old Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but say, "Chief Bai, are you mistaken? Shaoting is fine now, better than ever. I see that he and Qin Xiaorou are getting on very well now."
