"Then why do you ...."

Qiao Shaoting's dark eyes were calm, "Precisely she still has me in her heart, so she will fulfill my only wish before I die and live well in place of me."

Pei Shaomu shuddered.

...

Before Qiao Shaoting left, Pei Shaomu said, "Qiao Shaoting, give me some time to think it over. I won't necessarily say yes to you."

Qiao Shaoting, however, said, "You definitely will."

Pei Shaomu said, "I do want Xiaoyu to live, but I won't put your life at risk."

"That's not what I meant." Qiao Shaoting stared into Pei Shaomu's eyes, "You have someone you love too, if the person you love dies, can you live alone?"

Pei Shaomu held his breath.

He understood Qiao Shaoting's meaning now.

Seeing Pei Shaomu's silence, Qiao Shaoting continued, "You can't, so Pei Shaomu, do you think it's better for two people to die, or one?"

Pei Shaomu still didn't say anything.

Qiao Shaoting patted Pei Shaomu's shoulder, "You will promise me."

He said and left.

...

After leaving City A, Qiao Shaoting went to the hospital.

He saw Qin Yu.

Not inside, of course, but watching from a short distance outside the ward.

He saw Qin Yu smiling.

Her friend, Fang Panpan, was dressed up in a very funny way, which made Qin Yu laugh.

As Qiao Shaoting watched, a smile escaped from the corners of his lips.

How nice.

Qin Yu was still able to smile.

At the end of his life, he was content to see Qin Yu laughing.

...

A new day came again.

Qiao Shaoting was having breakfast with Qin Xiaorou when he suddenly received a call from Pei Shaomu.

Qiao Shaoting hung up.

He stood up, "I'm going to the presidential palace."

Qin Xiaorou nodded.

Qiao Shaoting was just about to leave when he suddenly heard Qin Xiaorou say, "Mr. Qiao, your tie is not tied properly, can," she hesitated, but still said, "Can you let me help you tie it?"

"Hmm." Qiao Shaoting said in a low voice.

Qin Xiaorou stood up and she craned her neck to tie Qiao Shaoting's tie.

Soon, the tie was tied.

Qin Xiaorou lowered her hands and smiled lightly, "Mr. Qiao, it's done."

Qiao Shaoting nodded, and then strode away.

Qin Xiaorou lowered her head and looked at her hands.

The hands that had just tied Qiao Shaoting's tie.

In her eyes, there was a flash of trance.

What a beautiful scene it was.

She was having breakfast with Mr. Qiao, and then tying his tie.

If only such a scene could be staged every day.

Unfortunately, it couldn't.

Qin Xiaorou's eyes flashed with bitterness and pain.

In a short while, she would not be able to see Mr. Qiao anymore.

In fact, she really couldn't let go of Mr. Qiao.

She didn't want Mr. Qiao to leave.

She wanted to spend every day with Mr. Qiao, even if Mr. Qiao did not have her in his heart.

She would be satisfied if she could just see Mr. Qiao every day.

Unfortunately, this simple wish could not be fulfilled.

There were times when she had the urge to tell Mr. Qiao to stay.

It was not worth it for a dead man.

But in the end, she didn't say anything.

She loved Mr. Qiao, so she was willing to respect Mr. Qiao.

All she could do was to take good care of the Qiao Palace and Qiao Shaoting's child after Mr. Qiao left.

Suddenly, her heart felt like a huge mountain was weighing down on her, and she could hardly breathe.

Qin Xiaorou wanted to get some air outside.

Just as she reached the corner of the stairs, she suddenly heard Qiao Shaoting's voice coming.

Qin Xiaorou was startled.
