Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 799: Chapter 787: President Zhan’s Little Scheme

"Don’t talk like that, it’s not your fault at all."

Qiao Jing met Zhan Qipei’s gaze, speaking in a calm tone, "Besides, you can’t possibly follow me around twenty-four hours a day, right? And even if you could, you might endure it, but I certainly couldn’t."

Even if it’s true love, no matter how deep, who could stand being stuck together twenty-four hours a day?

Anyway, she couldn’t stand it!

Hearing Qiao Jing say this, Xu Moqian disagreed.

He furrowed his brows, a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, "Sister Jing, why are you still speaking up for him? Leaving you here alone was already his fault!"

If it were him, he would never leave Sister Jing alone!

Seeing Xu Moqian so indignant, Qiao Jing had no choice but to explain, "There was a reason for it. He was stuck in traffic on the way here, which is why he was a little late."

She wasn’t trying to make excuses for Zhan Qipei, she was just telling the truth.

After all, traffic congestion is something out of one’s control.

Besides, it’s unreasonable to blame Zhan Qipei for not showing up in time when other people trouble her.

Zhan Qipei couldn’t have possibly foreseen when she would be in trouble...

Although Qiao Jing was just stating the facts, in Xu Moqian’s eyes, her words and actions were a defense of Zhan Qipei.

Feeling a sting in his heart at this, Xu Moqian was vexed. The wedding hadn’t been held yet and his Sister Jing had already started to defend her husband so quickly!

He was so envious. He wished Sister Jing would defend him like that!

When Xu Moqian snapped back to reality, he noticed that Zhan Qipei’s hand was already around Qiao Jing’s waist.

Looking at the sweet display of affection between the couple, Xu Moqian’s expression instantly fell.

Biting back the feeling of heartache, he looked up at Zhan Qipei and warned, "Since Sister Jing has spoken, I’ll let it go for now, but there better not be a next time, or I won’t let you off the hook!"

Zhan Qipei glanced at Xu Moqian, his lips parting slightly as he enunciated every word, "I don’t need you to remind me. I will take good care of my own wife."

Since when did his woman need someone else to remind him to protect her?

"Hmph!"

Xu Moqian huffed coldly, feeling that the words "my wife" sounded particularly grating coming from Zhan Qipei’s mouth.

Fearing that staying any longer would make him faint from the couple’s affection, he waved his hand and said, "Sister Jing isn’t feeling well, take her home to rest. I have something to do, so I’m leaving."

With those words, Xu Moqian touched his forehead and turned to leave.

"Let’s go home."

After Zhan Qipei spoke, he walked slowly toward the car with his arm around Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing looked up at him, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Aren’t we watching the movie?"

Zhan Qipei shook his head, his deep voice tender with emotion, "You’re not feeling well, so why watch a movie? We can watch it next time. After all, we have plenty, plenty of time ahead of us."

"That’s true," Qiao Jing nodded in agreement.

Indeed, there was a long life ahead of them. She and Zhan Qipei would always be together and they could slowly do whatever they wanted...

Meanwhile, Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei were on their way back home in the car.

Elsewhere, Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei had already returned home, both sporting a face that was as swollen and bruised as a pig’s head.

Zhan Kaiyang was originally sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping his tea.

Upon seeing his two brothers in such a state, he hurriedly set down his tea cup and asked with a frown, "What happened? Who dared to beat you up like this?"

Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei exchanged a glance and exclaimed in unison, "It’s Big Cousin..."

"Zhan Qipei?!"

Zhan Kaiyang’s brows furrowed even more. "Why did you go provoking him for no reason?"

Even he had some misgivings about that kid Zhan Qipei; his approach had always been to avoid him if possible and try not to have any direct confrontation with Zhan Qipei.

Because he was well aware that if it came to a head, the person who would be at a disadvantage was definitely not going to be Zhan Qipei!

"We didn’t provoke Big Cousin, it’s all because of that Qiao Jing. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have been beaten up by Big Cousin!"

"Right, it’s all Qiao Jing’s fault. We just happened to run into her, exchanged a few words, and did nothing. We didn’t even touch a finger on her, and she caused us to end up like this!"

Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei took turns speaking, piling all the blame onto Qiao Jing.

By the end, their resentment towards Qiao Jing grew even thicker, completely forgetting that it was clearly they who started the trouble, which led to their beating.

After hearing his grandsons’ words, Zhan Kaiyang’s anger surged in an instant.

He glared angrily and said, "It’s that Qiao Jing again! This woman is simply a disaster. Just wait, Grandfather will definitely find a way to teach her a lesson and get retribution for you two!"

"Last time she got lucky to escape, next time she shouldn’t expect to be so fortunate!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei immediately asked eagerly, "Grandfather, do you have any good plans now?"

They had been beaten black and blue by Big Cousin because of Qiao Jing, and if they didn’t get their revenge, they would feel unbearably frustrated!

Zhan Kaiyang’s expression was dark and sinister; after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Aren’t Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei going to have another wedding? This, for us, is a very good opportunity."

"When the time comes, we will prepare a ’surprise’ wedding gift for them, one they will never forget!"

Upon hearing this, both Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei simultaneously showed an evil smile on their faces.

They both knew that the ’surprise’ gift their grandfather referred to was definitely not going to be a pleasant thing for Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei!

While Zhan Kaiyang and his grandsons were conspiring, Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei had returned to Purple Garden.

While Zhan Qipei was parking the car, Qiao Jing had already gone back to the room.

She had just sat down on the bed when she noticed Zhan Qipei followed in.

"What are you doing here? I’m going to rest."

Qiao Jing’s words were clearly intending to send him away.

However, Zhan Qipei pretended not to catch the hint and got into bed on his own, close to Qiao Jing. "I’m sleeping with you."

"No way!"

Qiao Jing decisively refused, "We had already agreed on this, do you want to go back on your word?"

Originally, the words Su Manhan said last time had already made her abandon the idea of sleeping in separate rooms from Zhan Qipei.

After all, the two of them were together, and sleeping in separate rooms did seem a bit unreasonable.

But after sharing a bed with Zhan Qipei for a few nights, she found that this man would start getting restless as he slept, and it inevitably led to some struggle every time.

It wouldn’t matter if she wasn’t pregnant, but now she already had three babies in her belly. With such lack of self-control, what if it affected the children?

So, for the health of the babies, she had agreed with Zhan Qipei a couple of days ago that they should sleep separately until the children were born.

This man had clearly agreed so readily before, so why was he pulling such a stunt now?

It was clear that he wanted to go back on his word!!!noveldrama
