Xu Anting got married.
Adam walked forward and spoke in a gentle and refined manner. "Nice to meet you, Mr. He. I'm Adam Dexter Walker, Her Highness Lilith's executive officer. I'm now the bodyguard of the two Highnesses."
"Oh?"
Father He's eyes flashed and he looked at Qiao Qiao meaningfully. He then looked at the righteous Adam and smiled. "I've heard Freya mention you before. You're so young, but you're able to help Qiao Qiao manage J Country. You're a young talent with a bright future. But now, you're serving as an unknown bodyguard. Don't you feel wronged?"
Adam spoke frankly. "Everyone has their own ambitions. Compared to being a politician, I prefer to quietly stay by someone's side."
"That's true. If you're working in an industry that you don't like, you definitely won't be motivated."
Father He stopped asking Adam.
Qiao Qiao looked around and didn't see any trace of Mother He. She thought that she didn't like her and didn't even want to see the two children. She felt a little uncomfortable and her hands involuntarily hugged the children tightly. "Dad, where did Mom go?"
Father He froze. He Shaochen's expression was also a little strange.
Father He looked at him suspiciously. "Didn't you tell Qiao Qiao?"
"What?" Qiao Qiao looked at He Shaochen in confusion.
He Shaochen sighed and confessed to Qiao Qiao. "My mom went back to her parents' home. In the future, she might not come back."
Qiao Qiao's heart tightened. "Did something happen?"
He Shaochen's mood was also very complicated. Although his Mother He had done a lot of unforgivable things, she was his mother after all. Now, she was driven back to her parents' home by Father He with a divorce agreement. Her situation was not good. As her son, he also felt a little uncomfortable.
However, He Shaochen could not forgive what Mother He had done to Qiao Qiao.
There was no way to have the best of both worlds. He could only choose one out of the two: his wife and his children.
"Since you're back today, let's not talk about these disappointing things. Let's go back to the main residence first. Linlang has always wanted to see the two of you."
He Shaochen supported the child with one hand and wrapped his other arm around Qiao Qiao's shoulder. He smiled at her and said, "Let's go in."
"Yes."

After returning to Country A.
Qiao Qiao gradually learned a lot of things.
For example, a certain talented young man had appeared in Lan Emperor University and shocked the world with his academic achievements. Also, a certain Song Ying had graduated and inherited her family business, becoming a strong woman …
And to Qiao Qiao's surprise, Xu Anting had gotten married.
"When did this happen?"
Qiao Qiao asked in surprise.
He Shaochen glanced at her unhappily. "Why are you so concerned? He's a married man now. Don't think about it anymore. "
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Can you stop being jealous? I'm just a little surprised. Why did Professor Xu suddenly decide to get married? "
Qiao Qiao felt somewhat apologetic towards Xu Anting.
When she had broken up with He Shaochen, it had been the most difficult time for her. Xu Anting had always been by her side silently, but she had reconciled with He Shaochen in the end. Because of the incident in J Country, she had not been able to contact him and had not been able to repay him properly.
Who knew that she would hear the news of his marriage as soon as she returned to the country? How could she not be surprised?
"It's just a family marriage. The Xu family has been rising rapidly recently, and it's all thanks to them marrying the daughter of that politician's family. With the two of them joining forces, who knows what will happen in the future? I've already sent people to keep an eye on them."
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. "What can Professor Xu do? He's such a good person. He'll definitely do good deeds for the country and the people in the future. "
He Shaochen snorted disdainfully. "To think that you were a queen for a while. Do you think that people like us can do whatever we want? Even I have many misgivings, let alone that Professor Xu of yours. As the successor of the Xu family, he'll definitely think for his family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to the marriage. "
Qiao Qiao: "…"
Hearing He Shaochen say this, Qiao Qiao felt a little upset.
She felt that a gentle and refined man like Xu Anting would never do such a heinous thing. She hoped that he could be happy, and not like the way he was now, sacrificing his own happiness for the sake of his so-called family.
"Qiao Qiao, I want to remind you that the Xu family is now vying for business in He Clan's territory. In other words, we're enemies now. Don't contact him in private!"
Qiao Qiao responded absent-mindedly.
However, He Shaochen pinched her chin and leaned over to kiss her lips. "I'll be very busy soon and may not be able to take care of you. Stay at home and accompany the child. Don't run around, okay?"
"… Okay, I got it."
Qiao Qiao restrained herself.
Yes, she couldn't be willful now.
She shouldn't meddle in Xu Anting's affairs anymore.
But many times, fate would play tricks on you.
Qiao Qiao had just decided not to meddle in Xu Anting's affairs when Xu Anting called.
"Professor Xu?"
Qiao Qiao was a little surprised to receive a call from Xu Anting. She shouldn't have told Xu Anting this number, right?
"Qiao Qiao, I heard that you've returned to Country A. Do you have time? Let's find a place to talk."
Xu Anting's voice was always so gentle.
Qiao Qiao thought of He Shaochen's words and was about to refuse. However, she didn't understand why the Xu Group, which was in the education industry, suddenly began to seize He Clan's business. Weren't they supposed to stay out of each other's business? What kind of unforeseen event happened? Why did Xu Anting suddenly marry another woman?
One mystery after another lingered in Qiao Qiao's mind.
By the time she came back to her senses, she had already agreed to Xu Anting's proposal.
Qiao Qiao's heart sank. She wanted to slap herself. What on earth was she doing?!
She had just promised He Shaochen that she wouldn't meet Xu Anting, but she had already arranged a meeting place with someone else in half a day's time!
However, since she had already promised, it wouldn't be good to go back on her word.
It was just a secret meeting, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?
Qiao Qiao comforted herself in her heart.
Then, she packed her things and prepared to go out, but she was bumped into by Adam.
"Lilith, are you going out?"
Adam asked when he saw Qiao Qiao's outfit.
Qiao Qiao was caught, and she looked a little uncomfortable. How sensitive was Adam? He immediately knew that she was hiding something from him, so he asked in a deep voice, "Did something happen?"
Qiao Qiao knew that Adam knew her very well and must have seen that she had something on her mind. She didn't intend to hide it anymore and told Adam the whole story.
After Adam heard it, he surprisingly had the same idea as He Shaochen.
"I think you'd better not meet him."
Qiao Qiao shrugged and said with a bitter face, "Even you think so?"
Adam was the most soft-hearted towards Qiao Qiao. He always tried his best to satisfy her, and this time was no exception.
"However, you really want to meet him, right?"
"… Yes." Qiao Qiao nodded.
She was very concerned about Xu Anting.
