Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 228: Chapter 220 Taking Birth Control Pills

But Zhan Qipei did not speak. His dark eyes deepened, for what he truly hoped for was that Qiao Jing would let him take responsibility, binding him to her side for life would be perfect.

“Thank you for the porridge.”

Qiao Jing got up and returned to her room. She took off the clothes Zhan Qipei had prepared for her and changed into her usual T-shirt and jeans.

She took out a box of birth control pills from her pocket, glanced at the instructions casually and then put it back in her pocket before leaving the room.

Qiao Jing did not see Zhan Qipei in the living room, but she did not mind and was ready to go to the kitchen to pour some water to take her medication.

“Qiao Jing?”

Zhan Qipei, wearing an apron, his hand that usually held a pen was now clutching a spatula, and what was in the pot was…

A lump of something pitch black.

Qiao Jing could not recognize what the original ingredients were. She was somewhat surprised. Zhan Qipei actually cooking himself?

Moreover, he was wearing a pink apron Lin Xiuxiang had bought for her, creating a stark contrast with Zhan Qipei.

The apron, bought according to Qiao Jing’s height, reached down to her calves, whereas on Zhan Qipei, it barely reached his upper thighs.

“I came to drink some water.”

Qiao Jing did not pry into Zhan Qipei’s affairs and simply picked up a glass of water and returned to her room.

Seeing Qiao Jing change back into her own clothes left Zhan Qipei feeling somewhat empty inside.

After the door closed again, he turned back and began to study the object in the pot.

Qiao Jing skillfully opened the pill box, took out a pill and placed it in her palm, while tossing the empty package casually on the nightstand.

It was only after swallowing the birth control pill that Qiao Jing felt at ease. Just as she threw the pill box into the trashcan, the door to her room was opened.

Zhan Qipei hurried in, distracted by the pumpkin cakes he had been frying especially for Qiao Jing, afraid they would burn and become misshapen.

Suddenly, he remembered he had not knocked and thus stood frozen at the doorway.

“I’m making pumpkin cakes, but it looks like I need your help…”

He was halfway through his sentence when he noticed something on the nightstand.

A quiet, empty pill packet lay there.

“What is this medicine?”

Zhan Qipei’s heart pounded a few times as a suspicion formed in his mind.

Could it be birth control pills?

“Cold medicine.”

Qiao Jing answered casually, leading Zhan Qipei towards the kitchen.

The burnt and slightly stuck pumpkin cakes were still in the pan.

Qiao Jing dumped the pumpkin cakes from the pan into the trash can, guiding Zhan Qipei by hand.

“I’ve told you before, when frying things like this, you need to brush on a layer of oil to prevent sticking.”

“Okay,” Zhan Qipei responded.

“I’ve fried a good one, do you want to try it?” Qiao Jing placed the well-fried pumpkin cake on a plate.

Zhan Qipei nodded and took the spatula from her hand, “Yeah, I’ll give it a try.”

Just as Qiao Jing was about to leave the kitchen, she suddenly felt a surge in her stomach, and her face turned a bit pale in an instant!

She suppressed the discomfort rising in her heart and rushed into the bathroom, where she began to vomit next to the toilet.

Zhan Qipei couldn’t care less about the pumpkin cake and quickly followed Qiao Jing. Seeing her in this state, he hurried to the kitchen, fetched a glass of water, and brought a pack of tissues.

“What’s wrong?” As Qiao Jing calmed down, Zhan Qipei quickly pulled out several tissues for her.

“It’s nothing” Qiao Jing took the tissues, wiping her mouth.

Zhan Qipei then handed her the glass of warm water.

After drinking the warm water, Qiao Jing finally felt better, pressed the flush button, “Thanks, I need to go out for a bit.”

The vomiting had surely expelled the medication, so she needed to buy some more.

Without waiting for Zhan Qipei to respond, Qiao Jing hurried out of the house.

Her unusual reaction made Zhan Qipei think of the pills she had just taken, and he went straight to Qiao Jing’s bedroom.

The man hesitated at the door, wrestling with his thoughts for a while before he decided to head towards the trash can, still very concerned about what medicine it was.

If Tang Yan were also here, he would definitely be shocked.

The richest man in the capital, the owner of Zhan Corporation, was now rummaging through a trash can!

Zhan Qipei found a medicine box and saw the glaring three words at a glance.

Contraceptive pills.

These words poured cold water over Zhan Qipei’s heart.

It seemed he needed to try harder.

Zhan Qipei returned to the kitchen to continue mastering the pumpkin pancakes, hoping to make a perfect one for Qiao Jing.

In the pharmacy, Qiao Jing found the contraceptive pills again, this time taking two to prevent throwing up again.

The cashier’s eyes widened when she saw Qiao Jing again, buying two more pills?

Her man must be quite something.

But—

“Sis, don’t blame me for being nosy, but I think it’s better if a man makes this kind of mistake. I recommend this to you, many men buy this brand of ‘umbrella’.”

The cashier handed two boxes of ‘umbrella’ to Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing silently twitched the corner of her mouth.

“Thank you. No need.”

Having said that, Qiao Jing turned and left.

When Qiao Jing got home, Zhan Qipei was still in the kitchen frying pumpkin pancakes.

She went straight to her room, swallowed the remaining two pills in two doses, and experienced the same result.

Within five minutes of taking them, she began to feel nauseous and vomited.

Her stomach tormented Qiao Jing repeatedly for a while.

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, pausing to think. Her period had just ended a day ago, and she was still in her safe period.

She shouldn’t be pregnant.@@novelbin@@

After all, the chances of getting pregnant during the safe period are relatively low.

A few days later, inside Wonderful Hall.

“Miss Lou, I do not take apprentices.”

Zhou Fu felt a headache coming on just looking at the girl in front of him. It had been over a month and she still hadn’t given up, coming every day.

“I’ve clearly refused you already, I said I would not take apprentices.”

But Lou Xinrou still hadn’t given up. She was determined to master medicine thoroughly to cure Grandpa Zhan completely! That way, Brother Pei would notice her!

Once she had cured Grandpa Zhan, he would surely let her marry Brother Pei.

Then the day for Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei to divorce would arrive!

The title of Mrs. Zhan would be hers.

So that was the driving force behind Lou Xinrou’s daily, tiresome visits to Wonderful Hall to plead with Zhou Fu.

“Mr. Zhou, please believe in me, I will study hard, I can definitely make it, and I won’t let you down. Please take me as your apprentice.”

“I said I don’t take apprentices, can’t you understand human speech, or what?”

Zhou Fu frowned, his patience having been pushed to its limit.

Even though Lou Xinrou was recognized as a talented woman in her circle, he had seen her speak rudely to his master

“I have been coming here for over a month now, every day. I am very earnest! Mr. Zhou, take me as your apprentice, I really, really will not fail your expectations!”

Lou Xinrou pleaded persistently, as achieving her goal would be possible if Zhou Fu took her as an apprentice!

“Miss Lou, I do not take apprentices. No matter how many times you come, the result will be the same. This is so annoying!”
