Qiao Shaoting was really so confused!

Old Mrs. Qiao's face darkened, "Shaoting, don't forget that you are the president of North! And don't forget! You have a wife now! How can you abandon your country and your wife because of a woman!"

Qiao Shaoting was silent.

Had it been, of course, he would not have done so.

For he had responsibilities on his shoulders besides love.

But now it was different.

Qin Yu was going to lose her life.

At this time, he could not care about anything.

Qiao Shaoting didn't want to contradict Old Mrs. Qiao, so he let her talk like that.

Old Mrs. Qiao had spoken for a long time. At the sight that Qiao Shaoting did not say a word, she thought that Qiao Shaoting had been persuaded.

She softened her tone, "Shaoting, if you have figured it out, then this matter is over and I will not mention it in the future. That young man you have taken a fancy to, you can give him a high rank, give him the best position and make him your confidant, but to let him replace you is never acceptable."

"Hm." Qiao Shaoting said.

At this point, he did not want to argue with Old Mrs. Qiao.

Old Mrs. Qiao thought that Qiao Shaoting had compromised when he said "hm".

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shaoting, I know you still bear Qin Yu in mind, and I understand that it must be hard for you to see that Qin Yu is sick." Old Mrs. Qiao let out a small sigh, "But you two broke up after all, and how she is has nothing to do with you anymore. You and Qin Xiaorou are a couple. I hope you remember it."

"Mmm." The syllable escaped Qiao Shaoting's throat and he turned to walk away.

...

At dinner, Qin Xiaorou ate with Qiao Shaoting.

As they ate, Qin Xiaorou did not speak.

When she saw that Qiao Shaoting had finished eating, she said softly, "Mr. Qiao, I heard that you have the intention of giving up your position?"

Qiao Shaoting's dark eyes gazed at Qin Xiaorou.

Qin Xiaorou's voice was still soft, "Whatever you decide, I will support you, Mr. Qiao."

Only then did Qiao Shaoting nod in acquiescence.

"Do you want to stay with Miss Qin in her last days?" Qin Xiaorou added, "Actually, I don't think you need to step down. Mr. Qiao, you can give yourself a long vacation and have someone take your place temporarily. After accompanying Miss Qin, you can still come back."

A look of self-deprecation flashed in Qiao Shaoting's eyes.

He said, "I won't be able to come back."

Qin Xiaorou was stunned.

Her eyes flashed with confusion. She didn't understand what Qiao Shaoting meant.

Qiao Shaoting, however, changed the subject, "His name is Chen Sheng. He comes from a poor family, but he entered the presidential palace on his own. He is a young man with great ambition and ideas. I have observed him for a long time. He definitely has the ability to be the president."

"I believe that North will get better and better under his leadership."

"Mr. Qiao, there is no one more qualified for the presidency than you." Qin Xiaorou couldn't help but say.

Qiao Shaoting looked straight at Qin Xiaorou, "You just said that you support any decision I make."

Qin Xiaorou held her breath before she said, "I do support you, Mr. Qiao, but I also hope that you can listen to my advice."

"I understand what you mean." Qiao Shaoting said, "But it's impossible. I'll never come back once I go to City A."

Qin Xiaorou's heart tightened.

Although she did not understand what Qiao Shaoting was up to, she had a strong sense of foreboding in her heart.

Qin Xiaorou said uneasily, "Mr. Qiao, why won't you come back if you go to City A? Can you tell me why?"

Qiao Shaoting pursed his lips and said nothing.

Qin Xiaorou thought for a while and then her face turned white.
