Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 797: Chapter 785 Protecting

Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei’s words went in one ear and out the other of Qiao Jing.

The incessant babbling of the two was as annoying to her as the buzzing of flies.

If she hadn’t been feeling unwell, she would have already slapped each of them hard across the face!

Enduring the discomfort in her stomach, Qiao Jing got up from the bench, intending to get away from the three eyesores in front of her.

However, just as she stood up and was about to take a step, Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei surrounded her and forcefully blocked her way.

Zhan Nan snorted coldly, his tone laced with malice, "What’s this? Trying to leave already? Acting as if we, the brothers, don’t exist?"

Zhan Bei pretentiously pulled at Zhan Nan, posturing as he said, "Don’t be like that, didn’t you see Miss Qiao is not feeling well?"

Zhan Nan tilted his head to the side, feigning a careful look at Qiao Jing before ’yo’-ing and adding, "Indeed, you look awfully pale. How about we, the brothers, take pity and take you somewhere nicer to rest?"

With those words, he reached to grab Qiao Jing’s arm.

Qiao Mengtong stood beside them, arms crossed, thoroughly enjoying the drama with a schadenfreude grin on her face.

What she wished for now was for Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei to be gutsy enough to torment Qiao Jing properly, to at least let Qiao Jing also experience the humiliation and pain she felt when tormented!

However, Qiao Jing did not let Qiao Mengtong’s wishes come true.

With a raise of her hand, she slapped away Zhan Nan’s approaching hand with a "snap", and her slightly raised red lips coldly spat out a word, "Scram!"

These two idiots actually came before her to put on a farce?

Were their brains kicked by a donkey?

"I’m talking to you politely and even showing concern out of kindness, and you dare to strike me?"

Zhan Nan’s rage instantly flared, as he said furiously, "Don’t think just because you married Cousin that I wouldn’t dare to touch you! Let me tell you, if you push me too far, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do!"

To Qiao Jing, such threats were as laughable as a joke.

She looked coldly at Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei blocking her way, her face expressionless, "I’ll say it one last time, get out of my way!"

If this had been before, Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei would certainly have been wary of Qiao Jing and not dared to be so blatant, but now they could both see that Qiao Jing’s complexion was somewhat pale, clearly unwell.

Coming across such a good opportunity, of course, they couldn’t let it go!

Zhan Nan ignored Qiao Jing’s warning and grabbed her arm, glowering fiercely, "I tell you, if you don’t submit to us brothers today and properly apologize, you won’t take a single step away from here!"

Beset by their incessant pestering, Qiao Jing’s patience finally ran out.

She knit her eyebrows, twisted her hand, and immediately twisted Zhan Nan’s arm behind his back.

Zhan Nan immediately screamed in agony, "Ah! My hand, my hand..."

Seizing the moment of his pain, Qiao Jing exerted force and pushed him toward Zhan Bei standing by his side.

Unprepared, Zhan Bei was hit squarely by the stumbling Zhan Nan, and both cried out in pain, "Ouch!"

Seeing this, Qiao Mengtong’s expression changed, and she involuntarily furrowed her brows.

These brothers were as useless as ever, Qiao Jing being in such a state, so pale-faced, yet instead of doing anything to her, they were taught a lesson by Qiao Jing!

After pushing the obstructive brothers aside, Qiao Jing attempted to leave, but after only a couple of steps, a sudden intense pain in her stomach caused her steps to falter.

At that moment, Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei recovered and once again caught up with Qiao Jing, blocking her path.

"Since you’ve refused the face offered to you, don’t blame us for being impolite!"

"Why waste words on her? Just show her some color!"

As they spoke, the two stepped forward, preparing to lay hands on Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing had no energy to deal with them and could only step backward repeatedly.

While retreating, she clutched her stomach with one hand, trying to alleviate the discomfort by pressing on acupressure points on her abdomen.

Just as Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei were about to catch Qiao Jing, a furious shout came from not far away.

"What do you two bastards think you’re doing? Get lost, and stay away from my Sister Jing!"

Qiao Jing didn’t need to look to know the voice; as soon as she heard it, she knew it was Xu Moqian.

When Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei looked up and saw Xu Moqian charging over, fury in his bearing, they paused, annoyance etched on their faces.

Finally having the chance to deal with Qiao Jing, and now someone had to butt in, totally ruining the moment!

Xu Moqian went straight up to Qiao Jing and, seeing her pale complexion, asked with some concern, "Sister Jing, are you alright? Did these two bastards do anything to you?"

He was glad he just happened to pass by; otherwise, who knew who might be bullying his Sister Jing!

Qiao Jing shook her head and replied faintly, "I’m fine, just feeling a bit uncomfortable." noveldrama

Upon hearing this, the color drained from Xu Moqian’s face.

His gaze shifted, glaring at Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei, he angrily said, "Did they do something to you?"

Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei had yet to speak when Qiao Mengtong, who was standing beside them, beat them to it.

She looked down at Xu Moqian, her voice filled with disdain as she scolded, "Who do you think you are? You think you can yell in front of these gentlemen?"

This man, whom she’d seen many times by Qiao Jing’s side, she didn’t know who he was, but from his attitude toward Qiao Jing, he must be one of the big fools beguiled by Qiao Jing!

Xu Moqian gave Qiao Mengtong a cold look and scoffed, "What am I? Whether I am fit or not, you can ask these two bastards!"

Qiao Mengtong had thought this man was just a nobody, a clueless youngster without status or background, but his words were said with such a commanding presence that she began to doubt herself.

She turned her head to Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei, hesitantly asking, "He is—?"

Zhan Nan shot her a glance and spoke irritably, "He’s the eldest young master of the Xu Family; his grandfather is the empire’s second-ranked agricultural magnate..."

"Enough with the nonsense!"

Zhan Bei cut off Zhan Nan’s words, his eyes sweeping over Qiao Mengtong with a menacing glare, and he sternly rebuked, "This is none of your business, stay out of it and stop causing us trouble!"

At this, Qiao Mengtong reluctantly stepped back a few paces, but her eyes were fixed on Qiao Jing, nearly spilling over with jealousy.

How could she have expected that, aside from having the backing of the Zhan Family, Qiao Jing had such an influential friend by her side, even connected with one of the empire’s top agricultural tycoons!

What on earth did Qiao Jing have to deserve all this?

While Qiao Mengtong was almost driven mad with jealousy, Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei were confronting Xu Moqian.

Zhan Nan’s eyes fell on Xu Moqian, his expression clearly hostile, "Xu Moqian, I’d advise you to not meddle in others’ affairs!"

"Qiao Jing is part of the Zhan Family. What we have with her is our business, an issue of the Zhan Family, and you as an outsider should keep your nose out of it!"

Xu Moqian immediately snorted coldly, "I don’t care whether she’s part of the Zhan Family or not, what’s it to me if she’s from the Zhan Family? All I know is she’s my Sister Jing, and as long as I’m around, nobody is going to bully or even touch a hair on her head!"
