For a moment, Bai Xiaoru didn't know how to answer.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Watson for almost a minute before she spoke up, "Colonel Watson, why would Mr. Qiao ask me such a question?"

Watson gave a bitter smile, "You should ask Mr. Qiao."

Then he paused and added, "But I guess it might have something to do with you exposing Fang Liyuan this time."

Bai Xiaoru understood Watson's meaning.

She immediately said, "Mr. Qiao misunderstood me. I exposed her not because I wanted to return to the Qiao Palace. I just didn't want the young master to get hurt, and, and I'm very good in City A."

Speaking of this, Bai Xiaoru felt a lot of emotions in her heart.

She inhaled, "Colonel Watson, when I was in the North, I was a servant, a servant that everyone could trample on, and even sometimes, I felt that I didn't count as a person."

"But after I went to City A, I knew for the first time that I was a human being, a man of honor!"

"I have my career, my friends, and I have a really good time there, and dreams that I once didn't dare to think about came true there."

Speaking of this, Bai Xiaoru glanced at the child she was holding in her arms.

The child was already asleep with a delicate face, emitting even and sweet breathing sounds.

When her eyes were on the child, Bai Xiaoru's face unconsciously became soft.

She said, "Colonel Watson, if it weren't for this child, I, I might not have the thought of returning to the North."

Although the North was her hometown.

After staying in City A for so long, she was more attached to City A than the North.

After Watson heard Bai Xiaoru's words, his dark eyes flashed with a slight surprise.

Although Watson didn't say it straight, he had thought that the reason why Bai Xiaoru exposed Fang Liyuan was that she wanted to return to the North, to the Qiao Palace.

And even to replace Fang Liyuan.

However, it seemed that Bai Xiaoru didn't have this intention.

After hesitating, Watson still said, "Miss Bai, you have made a great achievement this time, and you also gave birth to a son for Mr. Qiao's brother. I think if you want to return to the Qiao Palace, Mr. Qiao will give you a position that you once dared not think about."

Bai Xiaoru froze.

She looked at Watson with disbelief.

Watson also looked at Bai Xiaoru, "Miss Bai, trust me. It's not the same as before, and I think Old Mrs. Qiao will accept you after this matter."

Bai Xiaoru was shocked.

After a long time, she finally calmed down.

She lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "Colonel Watson, I don't dare to think about what you said."

"Miss Bai, you can think."

"No, I can't." Bai Xiaoru gave a bitter smile, "Although I am a lot more confident, marrying somebody more your equal is still important, right? Such a brave and good girl as Xiaoyu couldn't be with Mr. Qiao, how could I?"

Bai Xiaoru sniffed, "I'd better stay in City A, where I have my career and my friends. I also belong to there and as for the young master,"

At the mention of Qiao Yaozu, a touch of pain and reluctance showed on her face.

But in the end, this pain and reluctance finally turned into a touch of determination.

Bai Xiaoru gave a smile, "The young master is so good. He will definitely be able to find a very good girl in the future."
