"Is there any other reason besides dying for love?"

Qiao Shaoting pursed his lips, and his black eyes flashed with ripples.

He was not a person who liked to lie.

But now, he decided to tell a lie.

Because no one in the Qiao Palace would allow him to do so.

Although he always acted regardless of others and no one could stop him, he did not want to make a mess before his death.

Nor did he want the Qiao Palace to grieve and suffer for him.

"Qin Xiaorou, after Qin Yu is gone, I want to take her ashes and find a place where no one will disturb us and just spend the rest of my life." Qiao Shaoting suddenly said, "If I say so, you should understand."

Qin Xiaorou was shocked.

She looked at Qiao Shaoting in dismay, her eyelashes flapping.

It turned out that Mr. Qiao was not going to die for love. He just wanted to retreat.

He wanted to take Qin Yu's ashes and leave.

"Mr. Qiao, are you going to abandon the North, abandon everyone?" A moment later, Qin Xiaorou asked in a trembling voice.

"I'm sorry." Qiao Shaoting's answer was only these two words.

Qin Xiaorou's eyes slowly clouded with a layer of water mist.

Mr. Qiao was really a man of affection and righteousness.

When Qin Yu was alive, he could not forget her.

When Qin Yu died, he took her ashes and left.

However, such an affectionate man had love for Qin Yu, but no love for other people.

"Mr. Qiao, have you ever thought how painful it will be for all of us if you leave like this?" A drop of tear fell down from Qin Xiaorou's eye.

"I'm sorry."

Other than these two words, Qiao Shaoting did not know what to say.

Qin Xiaorou did not speak.

She couldn't control her emotions anymore. She squatted down and let out a suppressed cry.

Qiao Shaoting looked at Qin Xiaorou and a pain flashed through his heart.

If time could be turned back, he definitely would not marry Qin Xiaorou.

He had brought too much harm to Qin Xiaorou, which was something he could never make up for in his life.

"Qin Xiaorou, I'm sorry." After a long time, Qiao Shaoting closed his eyes in pain, "I don't know what else I can say to you except sorry."

The suppressed cry still continued.

In this beautiful garden, it looked bleak and miserable.

After a long time, Qin Xiaorou finally stood up.

Her pair of eyes was red, but the tears didn't slide down anymore.

She sniffled, "Mr. Qiao, have you really thought about it? Is there no room for discussion?"

"I've already thought about it and won't change it."

Qin Xiaorou took a deep breath, a touch of determination flashing in her eyes, "Although you've never loved me, it doesn't change the fact that I am your wife. A wife should respect her husband, so Mr. Qiao, I support your every decision."

Qiao Shaoting held his breath.

"Besides, Mr. Qiao, don't worry. When you leave, I will take care of Old Mrs. Qiao, take care of big brother. You can rest at ease. If you want to come back later, you can return anytime. If you don't want to come back, then," Qin Xiaorou bit her lips, "I also respect you."

Qiao Shaoting's throat tightened and he couldn't say anything more. In the end, all he wanted to say could only be turned into two words, "I'm sorry."

......

The next day.

After Qiao Shaoting went to the presidential palace, Old Mrs. Qiao immediately approached Qin Xiaorou to inquire about the result of the conversation with Qiao Shaoting yesterday.

Qin Xiaorou relayed Qiao Shaoting's words to Old Mrs. Qiao.

Old Mrs. Qiao was relieved to hear this, but she was still furious, "What a fool! What is he trying to do? Retreat? He doesn't want anything just because of a woman! He abandons his own country, his own family!"
