Chu Qiao sat in her room. Night had fallen outside the window, but her mind was completely immersed in the shock of the day.

The appearance of Liu Qingyun and the child between her and Bo Zhengting were like a huge rock thrown into the calm lake of her heart, causing ripples.

She knew that this was not a simple emotional issue, it involved responsibility, morality and the future.

She needed more information, needed to understand Bo Zhengting's thoughts, and also needed to find out Liu Qingyun's intentions.

She decided to go to the company the next day to sound out her colleagues, hoping to get some clues.

The next day, Chu Qiao arrived at the company early. Her steps were more hurried than usual, and there was a subtle hint of anxiety in her eyes.

She walked through the corridors, nodding to her colleagues but mentally trying to figure out how to start a conversation.

In the tea room, Chu Qiao met her colleague, Li Wei, who was straightforward and always knew all the gossip in the company.

"Qiao Qiao, you look worried. What's wrong?" Li Wei asked with concern.

Chu Qiao hesitated for a moment, then tentatively broached the subject: "Li Wei, have you heard anything about President Bo recently?"

Li Wei frowned and lowered her voice: "Qiao Qiao, don't you know? It's rumored in the company that Zheng Ting seems to be pregnant."

Chu Qiao's heart sank suddenly. She tried her best to remain calm. "Child? What's going on?"

Li Wei looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then continued, "I also heard from others that President Bo had a child with an old lover, and now that woman is back, she wants President Bo to take responsibility. Do you remember the woman who came to the company last time? It seems to be her."

Chu Qiao's fingers unconsciously tightened around the cup. She took a deep breath, "Is this news reliable? Is it confirmed that the child is his..."

Li Wei interrupted her: "Qiao Qiao, I know your relationship with Mr. Bo, but this matter has a huge impact. You'd better go and ask Mr. Bo directly and see what he says."

Chu Qiao nodded. She knew Li Wei was right. She needed to talk to Bo Zhengting face to face to find out the truth.

She thanked Li Wei for the reminder and returned to her office, her heart full of determination.

She called Bo Zhengting and tried to keep her voice calm: "Zhengting, can we meet and talk? There are some things I want to confirm with you."

Bo Zhengting on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then replied, "Qiao Qiao, I was looking for you too. Let's meet."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Qiao's mood became more complicated. She knew that this conversation might change a lot of things, but she also understood that no matter what the result was, she needed to know the truth.

She sorted out the documents on her desk, then picked up her bag and prepared to meet Bo Zhengting to face the coming storm.

Chu Qiao stood in front of the office window. The late autumn wind brought a hint of coolness. She tightened her coat, but her heart was in turmoil.

She knew that the upcoming conversation could be a turning point in her life.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, then picked up her phone and confirmed the place and time agreed with Bo Zhengting again.

She left the office early and walked towards the agreed cafe with firm steps.

Along the way, her mind kept replaying every detail of her relationship with Bo Zhengting, from their acquaintance to their understanding, and then to the current uncertainty and confusion.

She told herself that no matter what the outcome, she needed to be strong.

Arriving at the cafe, Chu Qiao chose a seat by the window and sat down. She looked out the window from time to time, waiting for Bo Zhengting to arrive.

Soon, Bo Zhengting appeared in her sight. His steps seemed a little heavy and his expression was very serious.

Bo Zhengting walked into the cafe and saw Chu Qiao. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He walked over to sit down opposite Chu Qiao. Their eyes met, and for a moment, he didn't know where to start.

"Qiao Qiao, what do you want to talk to me about?" Bo Zhengting's voice was a little hoarse.

Chu Qiao took a deep breath and decided to get straight to the point: "Zhengting, I heard something about you and Liu Qingyun, and your child. I want to know, is it true?"

A trace of pain flashed in Bo Zhengting's eyes, and he nodded: "Yes, Qiao Qiao, this is true. Liu Qingyun did come back with our child."

Chu Qiao's heart sank, her voice trembling slightly. "What are you going to do? How are you going to be responsible for them?"

Bo Zhengting was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Qiao Qiao, I know this news is sudden and shocking to you. I need time to process all of this, but I promise you that I will do my best to handle this problem and prevent you from getting hurt."

Chu Qiao's eyes flashed with tears, and her voice was filled with despair: "Zheng Ting, how could you do this? Is our relationship really going to be disrupted by a child who suddenly appears?"

Bo Zhengting reached out and held Chu Qiao's hand, his eyes full of apology: "Qiao Qiao, I never meant to hurt you. Give me some time, I will find a solution."

Chu Qiao pulled her hand back and stood up, tears finally falling from her eyes. "Time? Zheng Ting, you asked me to give you time, but who will give me time? Who will mend my broken heart? I won't be coming to the company for a while, so think about it."

She turned around and prepared to leave, but Bo Zhengting's voice stopped her in her tracks: "Qiao Qiao, don't go. We can solve this problem together. We can face it together."

Chu Qiao turned around, a look of determination in her eyes: "Zheng Ting, I need time to think. I need to know if I still have a place in your heart."

After saying that, she turned and left the cafe, leaving Bo Zhengting sitting there alone, feeling full of guilt and helplessness.

Chu Qiao walked on the street, tears blurring her vision, but she knew that she needed to be strong, for herself and for the future of this relationship.

Chu Qiao walked aimlessly, the neon lights on both sides of the street flickered, reflecting the tear marks on her face.

Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She needed a place to be quiet and sort out her thoughts.

Chu Qiao thought to herself: What's going on? I just came here to complete the mission and return to the real world. How could I possibly fall in love with the characters in the book? Chu Qiao, wake up, what are you thinking about?

She walked into a small park and found a secluded bench to sit on. The tranquility around her was in stark contrast to the turmoil in her heart.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself.

"What should I do?" Chu Qiao asked herself repeatedly in her heart. She knew that she couldn't just give up like this. She needed a clear mind to deal with all this.

She pulled out her phone, opened her notepad, and began writing down her feelings and thoughts. She needed a plan, something that would help her sort things out.

"First, I need to talk to Liu Qingyun." She typed these words on her phone. She needed to understand Liu Qingyun's intentions and also express her own position.

"The second step is to have an in-depth conversation with Zhengting," she continued. She needed to know Bo Zhengting's true thoughts and express her own feelings.

"The third step is to consider our relationship." Her heart was heavy, but she knew that this was an inevitable step. She needed to consider her future with Bo Zhengting and whether she could accept all this.

After writing this, Chu Qiao felt a little calmer. She knew she couldn't let her emotions cloud her judgment; she needed to be calm and rational.

She stood up and decided to go home. She needed a good night's sleep so that she could face the upcoming challenges in the best condition tomorrow.

Back home, Chu Qiao took a hot bath, trying to wash away the day's fatigue and worries. She lay on the bed and closed her eyes. Although her heart was still filled with anxiety, she told herself that tomorrow was another new day and she would face everything bravely.

The next day, Chu Qiao woke up early. She put on her favorite dress and put on some light makeup. She needed to give herself some confidence.

She picked up her phone, took a deep breath, and dialed Liu Qingyun.

"Liu Qingyun, I'm Chu Qiaoqiao. Can we meet and talk? There are some things I want to confirm with you." Chu Qiao's voice was calm and firm.

Liu Qingyun on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then replied: "Chu Qiaoqiao, I was looking for you too. Let's meet."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Qiao felt a mix of emotions. She knew that this conversation might be difficult, but she also understood that no matter what the outcome, she needed to know the truth and make a decision for her future.

She picked up her bag, walked out of the house, and prepared to meet Liu Qingyun and face the coming storm.
