Standing under the tree alone, Bai Yaoyao's heart throbbed in pain as she watched Qu Ruo gradually disappear into the distance.

What he had just said could be said to have been forcefully cut off, and the affection that had just formed between the two of them could be said to have been easily described.

However, this was good as well. It was good that the fire had been extinguished, and Bai Yaoyao would no longer have to worry about it being ignited in the future.

"… …"

In the days that followed, there seemed to be a heavy barrier separating the two of them.

Although they were under the same roof, their interaction was extremely rare.

Every day, Bai Yaoyao would come back to report on some important situation and Dr. Zhang would come to apply the medicine on time. Although Qu Ruo was still in pain, Bai Yaoyao would never appear in front of him again, gently comforting him with a face full of nervousness and worry.

When Qu Ruo was alone, he would read some newspapers and magazines, or hold a video conference. However, all of this was the responsibility of the maids. Bai Yaoyao rarely went upstairs other than to rest at night.

However, when she was cooking, she would more or less help the maid. In just a few short days, she had figured out Qu Ruo's taste, but she also told the maid not to say that she made it because she was afraid Qu Ruo wouldn't eat it.

As for Qu Ruo …

It was also cold and indifferent.

His life seemed to have returned to how it was before.

In the past few days, the ambiguous feelings and warmth that had appeared between the two of them had actually disappeared without a trace. It was as if they had never appeared before. The people in the audience could not help but start a flurry of discussion.

On the day that Qu Ruo was finally fully recovered, Nuo, Yu Fei, and company had already arrived at the side of the house and were waiting.

Bai Yaoyao didn't go upstairs. She hid herself in an inconspicuous corner of the hall downstairs and stood there quietly.

Qu Ruo was standing in his bedroom. Nuo took out a gift that Qiao Linglong had just brought him from overseas. It was an expensive handmade suit.

"Young Master Qu, Miss Qiao went to S Country to find a designer named David to customize this for you. A few days ago, she personally called me and asked for your current size. She also specifically instructed you not to let me know, saying that she wanted to give you a surprise …"

While Nuo was still talking, Qu Ruo glared at him and said impatiently: "You're so long-winded! In the future, without my permission, don't reveal my secret to others! "

"But Young Master Qu, it's Miss Qiao …"

When Nuo innocent looked at Qu Ruo, a sharp gaze stared back at him.

"Do you not want to hear my words?"

When his faint voice reached Nuo's ears, he immediately lowered his head and respectfully said he didn't dare.

Qu Ruo was intrigued as he touched the exquisite suit. The fabric was pretty good, Qiao Linglong must have put in a lot of effort just for this suit.

Looking at it carefully, whether it was making or cutting, it could be considered first-class in the world. Moreover, it was indeed a style that he liked, even the buttons were carefully fitted with a diamond. The color was beige, matching his temperament.

His gaze lingered on the suit for a long time as he pondered about what it was.

After a long while, he retracted his gaze. There was an uncontrollable fondness in his tone, but he didn't know if it was really like or just faking it.

"No, cancel the meeting at 10: 30 today. I want to speak to Miss Qiao personally, thank her."

"Yes, Young Master Qu!" As he said this, he hurriedly informed the secretary at the company that he would like to change the arrangements for today.

Yu Fei was sitting on a soft chair in the bedroom. He was half lying down with his legs crossed and a hint of a scoundrel's smile on his face.

From time to time, his fingers would knock on the pure white desk, producing a crisp sound.

"I say, Qu Ruo, look at how the young miss of the Qiao Family is taking the initiative now, shouldn't you take the initiative as well? Keep that ice face of yours! I hear you gave your mother your most precious brooch? Does this mean that something good is about to happen? "Ai, not like me, I'm still single …"

As Yu Fei said this, he deliberately stretched his body and raised his voice a few degrees.

Qu Ruo frowned in dissatisfaction. A hint of light flashed across his ice-cold eyes.

He couldn't let anyone else know about him giving the brooch. Where did Yu Fei hear this from?

"What is it? You still don't know? The outside world has already spread about this, and during your absence, there were even a few newly-appointed editors in the media who wrote that you and Miss Qiao had secretly married, but that it was only a hidden marriage. "

Yu Fei was gloating as he looked at Qu Ruo's dumbstruck expression. He didn't expect that Bing'er would be so anxious.

Qu Ruo's gloomy face turned even more gloomy.

He ignored him and just called Nuo in, asking sternly, "I asked you to take care of matters outside, is this the result of what you took care of?"

Nuo trembled in fright and hurriedly replied, "Young Master Qu, it's like this. Other media wouldn't dare to write randomly, but there are two families who seem to have been ordered by someone else and deliberately wrote it in an exaggerated manner …"

Actually, Qu Ruo already understood halfway through his words.

Who else had such strength and knew of the inside information other than the Qiao Family?

Qiao Linglong wasn't in the country, so Qiao Anyan definitely agreed to this matter. Otherwise, how could there be those suicidal media who dared to casually report about his precious daughter?

"Heh, are you that impatient to marry your daughter to me?" Qu Ruo smiled disdainfully. At this moment, his handsome face became even more arrogant and charming.

Yu Fei suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the door. It was very light, so it shouldn't be Nuo, it should be …

He purposely laughed and teased: "Hehe, to be honest, don't tell me you don't want to marry big miss Qiao Family? "All of you were just like that before …"

Qu Ruo glared at him and turned his head to the side. Coincidentally, he saw a white shadow pass by the door.

He was silent for a second, his eyebrows creased slightly, but he still purposely said in a deep voice, "Yes! "Come, give me a change of clothes that Miss Qiao sent to me. It's her kindness, so I must cherish it."

"Young Master Qu, me?" Nuo pointed at herself in surprise.

"What is it? Have you become stupid recently? " Qu Ruo looked unhappy.

"Young Master Qu, if not, I will call Miss Bai to help you change into a new one. I am really clumsy and afraid of ruining your clothes."

Nuo revealed an awkward expression as she looked at Bai Yaoyao, who just happened to pass by.

Although Qu Ruo was still expressionless, the crafty look in his eyes betrayed him.

Yu Fei raised his hand and carelessly touched his smooth chin. For a moment, he was confused about what Qu Ruo was trying to do. Stimulate Bai Yaoyao? Surely not!

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she knew that he had tacitly agreed. She hurriedly walked towards Bai Yaoyao's room and knocked on the door.

Bai Yaoyao, who was packing her things, stopped what she was doing and said, "Come in!"

"Miss Bai, Young Master Qu wants to ask you for a favor. Is that okay with you?" Nuo stood respectfully at the door, her voice neither loud nor low.

Anyway, he was about to leave this place, and he was going to leave anyway.

The two of them would never appear here at the same time again. Bai Yaoyao calmed down, took a deep breath, and walked along with Nuo in silence.
