Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 244: Chapter 236: Do You Think You Are Still Madam Zhan?

“`

At the entrance to the general management office, several people were gathered, led by the little follower, who was backed by two other women.

Qiao Jing recognized the people who stood behind Liu Xin, mocking her—they were the ones who had appeared in the cafeteria.@@novelbin@@

The little follower had changed her clothes, and although her face was still swollen, she had regained her scornful expression, “Can’t even complete your work, yet you dare to come to the company? How embarrassing.”

“Exactly, even daring to hit an employee in the cafeteria?”

“Lucky for her I have a good temper. If it were me, I would have called the police and had her arrested long ago.”

Qiao Jing couldn’t suppress her anger any longer and suddenly stood up. Her eyes were icy, her brow cold, and her whole body exuded a terrifying sharpness!

“What do you want to do? Hit me again? This is President Zhan’s company! It’s not a place where you can behave wildly!!” Liu Xin retreated a few steps, intimidated by Qiao Jing’s imposing manner, yet still obstinately spoke.

Seeing that Qiao Jing ignored her, Liu Xin added another shout, “Do you think you’re still Madam Zhan?”

“She is,” came a deep, cold voice suddenly.

When the other employees saw Zhan Qipei, they immediately stood up from their positions, greeting, “Good morning, President Zhan.”

President Zhan seldom came to the office area; usually, Assistant Tang was the one who came here on his behalf. What brought him here personally today?

Zhan Qipei walked over with an unsmiling, gloomy face, gathering his long, mist-like eyebrows, his thin lips forming a straight line devoid of any curve, and strode over to Qiao Jing’s side.

The man’s tall figure shielded Qiao Jing from the malicious glances of Liu Xin and the others.

A ripple surged in Qiao Jing’s eyes, and something tender in her heart seemed touched once more.

The light two words from Zhan Qipei just now had stirred up a huge splash in everyone’s hearts!

“President Zhan? What do you mean ‘she is’?” Liu Xin asked, puzzled.

Hadn’t they divorced? Why was Zhan Qipei still calling Qiao Jing Madam Zhan? What was going on?

Zhan Qipei, however, did not explain anything to Liu Xin. When he learned about the incident in the cafeteria today, his expression immediately darkened.

He was away for just one morning, and someone dared to bully his wife?

“Apologize.” Zhan Qipei looked at the little follower with a chilly gaze. Just standing there, he exuded an aura like the living King of Hell, lowering the atmospheric pressure around him considerably.

The little follower’s legs began to tremble, and she walked over to Qiao Jing, timid and trembling, saying, “I’m sorry.”

“Go to the finance department to settle your wages,” Zhan Qipei stated coldly, turning his gaze toward Liu Xin.

The little follower glanced at Liu Xin before leaving, covering her face with a look of grievance as she headed to the finance department.

Liu Xin’s legs were shaking, “President… President Zhan, I… it was her, she failed to complete the task… so…”

She hadn’t expected Qiao Jing to be so important in Zhan Qipei’s heart!

What was so good about Qiao Jing, who was so vain and materialistic? Why was Zhan Qipei still protecting her?

Zhan Qipei glanced at Qiao Jing and motioned for her to handle it.

Qiao Jing immediately opened her phone and played the surveillance video.

Upon seeing this video, Liu Xin was so frightened that tears streamed down her face, “I’m sorry, Miss Qiao, I was bewitched, I was wrong! Please forgive me, I didn’t mean to delete your data.”

Fearing that she might share the assistant’s fate, she quickly begged for mercy.

“The finance department,” Zhan Qipei said succinctly.

Although Liu Xin was resentful, she dared not say anything more and left for the finance department with her tail between her legs.

The employees in the office area had a complicated look on their faces after witnessing this scene.

“`

They thought President Zhan, upon learning about the cafeteria incident, would angrily fire Qiao Jing for her violent behavior.

But to their surprise, President Zhan announced that Qiao Jing was still Madam Zhan and even fired Liu Xin, who had worked in the company for several years!

From this, they gleaned one piece of information: Qiao Jing was very important to Zhan Qipei.

Those who had mocked Qiao Jing at the entrance to the general manager’s office now felt fear and buried their heads even lower, afraid that she would see them.

Qiao Jing had intended to handle these matters herself, but Zhan Qipei had taken care of everything for her and even fired those few people.

“Come to my office, you’ve been tired for most of the day. Take a good rest,” Zhan Qipei’s face, which had been stern, softened when facing Qiao Jing, and even his tone of voice differed from how he spoke to others.

Qiao Jing hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to follow Zhan Qipei. After dealing with several tasks that morning and encountering those people, she did indeed need to rest a bit.

The remaining employees exchanged glances, sneaking peeks at the departing figures of the two.

Zhan Qipei’s office had an en suite resting room, complete with a bed and wool blanket, “Rest here for a while, I’ll call you later.”

“I’ll set my alarm, you…,” Qiao Jing paused, “How’s work going?”

Zhan Qipei realized what Qiao Jing was asking about this morning’s collaboration, “It’s settled, I’m sorry for my absence and the trouble you encountered, is there a lot of work?”

“Not much, I can handle those things myself, thank you,” Qiao Jing lowered her eyes, obscuring her emotions from view.

Zhan Qipei stepped out of the restroom and closed the door for Qiao Jing, “Call me if you need anything, I’ll be right outside.”

Qiao Jing lay down on the bed, and perhaps because it was Zhan Qipei’s resting room, she could sense his presence in the bed.

Before long, the quiet resting room was filled only with the steady breathing of Qiao Jing.

When Zhan Qipei tiptoed to open the door, holding a cup of water, and saw Qiao Jing asleep, he gently set the cup on the table.

He sat down beside the bed, looking at Qiao Jing’s peaceful sleeping face, feeling a stir in his heart.

Eventually, Zhan Qipei bent down and quietly placed a kiss on the smooth forehead of the Qiao family’s member.

His dark eyes moved down from Qiao Jing’s face, lingering on her stomach for a long while.

Zhan Qipei’s gaze darkened, pondering what if Qiao Jing hadn’t taken the contraceptive pill.

Could she be carrying his child?

Would it be a boy or a girl? Or perhaps twins or even fraternal twins?

But Zhan Qipei knew these speculations wouldn’t come true as Qiao Jing had already taken contraceptive pills.

A sense of desolation crossed his face, and he gently caressed Qiao Jing’s stomach.

After waking up, Qiao Jing quickly prepared breakfast. Having eaten her share, she headed to the research institute.

When Zhan Qipei finished washing up and came out, Qiao Jing had already left.

As he was about to leave the house, he halted at the entrance, planning to give Qiao Jing a surprise.

Normally the two would tidy up their own rooms, and the living room was always neatly arranged by Qiao Jing, thereby not giving Zhan Qipei a chance to lift a finger.

Moreover, since they usually didn’t mess up the house’s decorative pieces, tidying up was relatively easy.

Zhan Qipei sent Tang Yan a message, then set his phone aside and began to tidy up the living room.

On the other side, Tang Yan from Zhan Corporation was now looking at the message on his phone with a complex expression, along with a pile of documents, and looked up at the ceiling exasperatedly.

What to do with a boss who takes a holiday whenever he pleases?
