"Pregnant?" Qiao Linglong, who was about to listen to Qu Ruo and greet Bai Yaoyao with a nod, turned around to leave, but when she heard what the child said, she suddenly turned around and glanced at Bai Yaoyao's stomach in disbelief.

Qu Ruo's burning gaze pierced through the layers of clouds like a ray of light and landed heavily on Bai Yaoyao's face.

He reached out his hand without hesitation and gripped it tightly. Then, he pulled it to his side and asked her with a voice that could not be gentler, "Is what that child said true?"

In fact, she really wanted to say that it was true. Their child was in her womb, but she still remembered the old lady's warning just now. Even if she could give birth to this child, it would be impossible for them to be together.

Moreover, this child might not even belong to him.

Bai Yaoyao slowly raised her head. Her misty eyes met Qiao Linglong's eyes behind Qu Ruo.

He was confident and full of vigor. It seemed that he was pretty good, but the light in his eyes was something he didn't have.

"Linglong, Qu Ruo!"

A dignified voice suddenly sounded and everyone turned their heads to look back. This look was nothing serious, but once this person approached, everyone recognized him. This person was indeed Qiao Zongli from Hua Xia.

Everyone excitedly reached out their hands to shake hands with Qiao Anyan. He also enthusiastically responded to everyone's greetings.

When the woman who had been arrogant just now found out that Qiao Linglong was Qiao Zongli's daughter, she was instantly at a loss of what to do. Her face was deathly pale as she apologized to Bai Yaoyao and the others.

Qiao Anyan looked around and saw a woman beside Qu Ruo. The two of them were still holding hands and looking at each other. Qiao Anyan couldn't help but look at Bai Yaoyao.

This girl was really similar to Su Jin! Especially when Su Jin was young, she looked very similar. It was just that this girl seemed to be thinner.

He nodded at Bai Yaoyao with a faint smile. As he looked at Qu Ruo's different expression when he looked at her, Qiao Anyan probably knew in his heart that this girl was probably the daughter of Su Jin and Wu Dingsheng.

This girl, who looked weak and delicate, was not simple to be able to capture Qu Ruo's heart.

"Hello, Qiao Zongli …" It was the first time Bai Yaoyao saw Hua Xia's Zongli outside the TV and on the internet. It was full of dignity, but it was also full of intimacy without any airs of arrogance.

On the other hand, some of the government officials who were employed in China weren't that powerful.

Qiao Anyan saw Qu Ruo, but he still didn't let go of the girl's hand, so he lightly coughed and reminded her, "Qu Ruo! We've already taken Linglong's medicine, it's time for us to go back. "

Bai Yaoyao also let go of his hand and smiled bitterly, "Pregnant? The child must have misheard. Or else, Xiaoxiao had just gotten anxious and wanted him to apologize, that's why she would have spouted nonsense. "Besides, do I look like someone who is pregnant to you?"

"Then why did you come to the hospital?" Qu Ruo also quickly asked her with an anxious expression.

"He came to the hospital to see Xiaoxiao. It can't be that Qu Ruo has to manage a girl's illness, right?"

Xiaoxiao was surprised. She didn't understand why Bai Yaoyao didn't tell Young Master Qu about her pregnancy. She took a step forward and wanted to say something, but was stopped by a glance from Bai Yaoyao. She nodded awkwardly and said, "Yes, I … I was sick … no one was pregnant. I just said that to make that child apologize."

Qu Ruo's hand clenched and loosened. A hint of disappointment flashed across his face.

"Qu Ruo, let's go. We've delayed it for a long time …" Qiao Linglong came up at the right time and smiled. She reached out her hand to grab Qu Ruo's arm. The two of them seemed to be standing together.

Bai Yaoyao looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but feel dizzy as her vision blurred.

Afraid that he would faint in front of Qu Ruo, he couldn't take any more stimulation anymore. His heart felt stuffy, as if it was pressed down by a huge rock. Even breathing was difficult for him.

She seemed to be in a trance. Xiaoxiao was whispering something to him, but she couldn't hear it clearly. At this moment, she couldn't even care about what she said. She really didn't know what to say to Xiaoxiao.

The air conditioner was still on in the hospital, and a gust of cold wind made her shiver.

"Let's go first …" She dragged Xiaoxiao and led the way out of the hospital with heavy footsteps.

Although he walked out, he could still feel the scorching gaze behind him. He couldn't let go of it for a long time.

Qu Ruo got in the car after being dragged by Qiao Linglong. The car only looked out the window and didn't want to say anything unnecessary.

Qiao Anyan and Qiao Linglong also had their own thoughts as they drove slowly towards the Qiao Mansion.

As for Xiong Quan, he was also expelled because of this matter.

….

Bai Yaoyao didn't know how long she had been standing on the balcony of her rented house. Although it was a small house, the view from the huge residential district was very nice.

There was a large balcony with glass, and a small balcony with open air above it. Bamboo chairs and a round bamboo table. Usually, a person would enjoy the scenery and drink tea when he had nothing better to do.

Today, however, she was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. Bai Yaoyao stood on the balcony, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene of people passing by in the residential complex. The autumn wind was blowing, and the fiery red orange leaves were falling everywhere.

A sour feeling permeated through his entire body.

Nanny Zhou busily stewed soup for her in the kitchen while Xiaoxiao took a shawl and lightly put it on her back.

"Such a cold day, even if you don't think for yourself, you still have to think for the child in your belly. If you get a cold, what do you do? You can't eat medicine, it's not good for both you and the child."

Bai Yaoyao bitterly smiled. In the end, she still had her best friend by her side. She put her ice-cold hand on Xiaoxiao's warm one and sincerely said, "Thank you."

"Why are you always so distant from me? Why are your hands so cold? Quickly go back to bed and cover yourself with a blanket. It's already late autumn and your body is weak. If you really get sick, it won't be good. "

Xiaoxiao said as she pulled Bai Yaoyao worriedly to send her back to her bedroom.

Bai Yaoyao shook her head and looked down at the fallen leaves. She closed her eyes to feel the cold wind blowing from time to time on the balcony. She wrapped her shawl tightly around her shoulders.

Only then could she feel that she was truly alive.
