Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 240: Chapter 232: Flirting

“Ni Yue!” These two words nearly burst through Zhan Qipei’s clenched teeth, a dangerous gleam swirling in his narrowed eyes.

His wife, she truly plays both sides.

Ni Yue clicked her tongue, “It’s no use what you say. As long as Qiao Qiao agrees, that’s enough.”

Zhan Qipei’s face was so dark it seemed he could drip water, his gaze eerily fixed on Ni Yue.

Qiao Jing couldn’t be bothered with the two of them, walking out to the balcony for some peace and quiet.

A few days later, the wedding day of Lin Xiuxiang and Tang Yan arrived.

Qiao Jing was wearing the bridesmaid dress prepared by Ni Yue and looked at herself in the mirror for a while. She frowned slightly and asked, “What does Xiangxiang’s wedding dress look like?”

Ready with her phone, Ni Yue promptly found Lin Xiuxiang’s attire for the day and handed the phone to Qiao Jing, “Here, this set, pretty isn’t it? I designed it, how could it possibly be ugly?!”

Looking at the photo of Lin Xiuxiang, Qiao Jing’s eyes overflowed with tenderness, and she couldn’t help but smile slightly.

The person in the photo smiled sweetly at the camera, her makeup was exquisite, and the wedding dress was very fitting. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and joy.

“Wait a moment.” Qiao Jing once again examined herself in the mirror, ensuring that as a bridesmaid she was proper without being too outstanding. She looked for a full minute, and only then did she relax, allowing Ni Yue to give her a light makeup.@@novelbin@@

Even though she didn’t want to wear makeup, she was Lin Xiuxiang’s bridesmaid, and wearing makeup would show that she took the wedding seriously.

Ni Yue used a light color palette for Qiao Jing’s makeup, grumbling as she applied it, “Looking in the mirror so many times… are you worried about being too brilliant and stealing Xiangxiang’s thunder?”

The two had been friends for quite some time, and Ni Yue could tell what Qiao Jing was thinking at the moment.

Without speaking, Qiao Jing tacitly agreed.

“You can relax! When I designed this bridesmaid dress, I took that into account. It’s very plain, so don’t worry!”

Ni Yue applied a milk tea-colored lipstick to Qiao Jing, looking at her beautiful face with some excitement, “Purse your lips together, let me see!”

Qiao Jing complied and pursed her lips, glanced at herself in the mirror, and only when she confirmed that nothing about her stood out did her furrowed brow slowly smooth out.

“My Baby Qiao Qiao, you truly are the most beautiful person I’ve seen! And your skin, so smooth and delicate like a peeled egg, let me touch it.”

Ni Yue touched Qiao Jing’s face as if handling a piece of exquisite white jade, with a careful and satisfied smile.

Qiao Jing didn’t dodge, allowing Ni Yue to touch her face as she glanced at the time, “Let’s go, it’s time to enter.”

Lin Xiuxiang had assigned Qiao Jing the task of carrying the ring box, intending for her best friend to witness up close the moment she got married.

“Alright!”

When Qiao Jing entered, everyone’s eyes inevitably fell on her.

Her unparalleled face, now more enchanting with a touch of light makeup, left the men in the audience dazzled, and her demeanor drew continuous admiration.

The light mocha-colored bridesmaid dress was meticulously refined, with a waist-hugging design that sketched out Qiao Jing’s slender figure, revealing captivating curves.

In terms of both appearance and figure, she was first-class all around.

Lin Xiuxiang had no relatives, and the family side only had Dean Qian, along with several teachers from the welfare institute seated.

On Tang Yan’s side, however, there were quite a few relatives. Their eyes lit up upon seeing Qiao Jing.

If they didn’t know what the bride looked like, they might have mistaken Qiao Jing for the bride.

Among the crowd, there was one person whose eyes were gleaming as he stared at Qiao Jing. This person was Tang Yan’s cousin, Tang Jing.

The moment Qiao Jing appeared, he had fixed his gaze on her.

Tang Jing spoke to the person next to him, “Isn’t she just too beautiful? I’ve never seen such a pretty girl before!”

Qiao Jing did not pay attention to those gazes; instead, she nodded slightly to Dean Qian over there, and joined Ni Yue on the stage, standing on the bridesmaid’s side, waiting for Lin Xiuxiang to make her entrance.

Standing nervously in front of them was Tang Yan, who kept looking towards the direction of the door, his hands trembling slightly.

Dean Qian was no longer in his original place; instead, he had gone to Lin Xiuxiang’s side.

When the doors of the hall opened, the bride officially entered.

Dean Qian, holding Lin Xiuxiang, walked the red carpet and handed her over to Tang Yan. Only after giving several words of advice did he let go of her hands.

The wedding dress Lin Xiuxiang wore was carefully designed by Ni Yue, making her look even more beautiful as she approached Tang Yan with eyes full of anticipation and joy.

The moment Lin Xiuxiang made her entrance, Qiao Jing’s gaze stayed on her.

Witnessing the scene of Lin Xiuxiang getting married was very meaningful to her, stirring up some indescribable emotions in her heart.

But she knew she was happy because Lin Xiuxiang was marrying a man worthy of her trust.

When it came time to exchange rings, Qiao Jing, holding the ring box, stood between the two, and as she saw the tears sparkling in Lin Xiuxiang’s eyes, her own eyes started to moisten as well.

Tang Yan took the ring and personally slid it onto Lin Xiuxiang’s finger.

After the wedding ceremony was complete, Qiao Jing and Ni Yue stepped down from the stage.

Just as they stepped down, Ni Yue’s phone began to ring. She walked to the side, took a call, and after a few hums, she returned to Qiao Jing’s side with an apologetic expression, “Baby Qiao Qiao, I have a draft I haven’t finished. I need to head back and rush it, sorry. I had promised to keep you company. Please wish Xiangxiang happy marriage for me, and I’ll deliver the gift to her home in a few days~”

“No problem, you go on,” Qiao Jing said as she took a seat at the table with the family of Lin Xiuxiang.

Ni Yue then hurriedly left the venue as well.

As Qiao Jing was about to pour herself a glass of red wine, a stranger approached her. She didn’t pay much attention and just poured herself a drink.

“Hello, I am Tang Yan’s cousin, Tang Jing,” Tang Jing introduced himself upon approaching her.

Qiao Jing glanced at Tang Jing, replying indifferently, “Hmm, hello.”

“Uh…” Tang Jing scratched the back of his head, slightly embarrassed as he asked, “What’s your name? Could you tell me, please? It’s just that… uh… I’ve noticed you for a while now.”

“Qiao Jing,” she replied with her name.

Tang Jing poured Qiao Jing a glass of juice, offering it with gentlemanly manners, “Women shouldn’t drink too much alcohol. Have some juice instead.”

“Thank you,” Qiao Jing murmured her thanks politely but did not touch the glass of juice.

Not far away, Tang Yan saw this exchange and his heart skipped a beat. Damn, what was his cousin doing, pouring juice for his boss’s wife? With such eagerness, could it be he had taken an interest in his boss’s wife?

“Miss Qiao, do you have any hobbies or interests you do in your free time?” Tang Jing continued to inquire.

Qiao Jing pondered for a moment before gently shaking her head.

Left with no choice, Tang Jing asked another question, “Could we possibly exchange WeChat contacts, to get to know each other better?”
