Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 267: Chapter 257 I’ve come to take you home
 

Cao Feiyu waved excitedly in our direction.

Qiao Mengtong immediately became excited—Cao Feiyu was greeting her!

She purposefully used a darling nickname to provoke Qiao Jing, wanting to flaunt her closeness with Cao Feiyu and make Qiao Jing envious of her.

“Did you see that? I told you I’m very close with Feiyu, and he’s even greeting me. Slap yourself twice, and I can get him to give you an autograph right now.”@@novelbin@@

Qiao Jing gave Qiao Mengtong a look as if she was regarding a lunatic, feeling even more speechless about her.

Besides, when did Cao Feiyu and Qiao Mengtong become so close?

Cao Feiyu seemed to have spotted something and got a bit excited. Ignoring the makeup artist who was fixing his clothes, he headed straight towards Qiao Jing.

The makeup artist who was following him tried to keep up, but Cao Feiyu gestured for her to stay where she was.

The female extras nearby noticed Cao Feiyu moving in Qiao Jing’s direction and assumed he was heading towards Qiao Mengtong.

“No way! Is Feiyu going to see Qiao Mengtong?”

“I just asked her if she knew Cao Feiyu, and she said not only does she know him, they’re pretty close.”

“So it really is like that, huh? Hey, they couldn’t be… you know… that kind of relationship, right?”

The conversation beside her only embellished Qiao Mengtong’s fantasies even more.

It seemed she held a pretty high position in Cao Feiyu’s mind; he ran over to her even without his clothes being properly arranged.

It was too unbelievable. If word of this got out today, she would definitely become quite popular!

She had specifically dressed up for today to join the cast, putting on a delicate makeup look. Could it be that Cao Feiyu was attracted to her?

What to do now? Even Cao Feiyu seemed to fancy her, yet she didn’t want to give up on Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei. Surely, she was a hundred times better than Qiao Jing.

Otherwise, how could so many men like her?

At this time, Cao Feiyu had also reached the two of them. Qiao Mengtong struck what she thought was a fetching pose, attempting to greet him.

“Cao—”

“Xiao Jingjing, you finally came! I’ve missed you so much. This milk tea is mine, right? I knew you wouldn’t forget to buy it for me.”

Cao Feiyu took the cup of milk tea from Qiao Jing’s hand, inserted the straw into the cup, and took a big sip.

Qiao Mengtong, upon hearing Cao Feiyu’s words, stared at the two, mouth agape. The words she hadn’t finished saying were swallowed back down.

Her fixed smile was replaced by shock, and her raised hand didn’t know where to rest.

All she wanted right now was to find a hole to crawl into. Wasn’t Cao Feiyu supposed to be looking for her? Why did he run over to Qiao Jing?

And why did the two of them seem so familiar with each other?

The female extras around them clearly hadn’t anticipated this scene either.

“Didn’t Qiao Mengtong say she knew Cao Feiyu?”

“It looks like he’s actually acquainted with that girl beside her, and they seem quite intimate too. Feiyu called her Xiao Jingjing?”

“Look at Qiao Mengtong’s face; it’s frozen, right? She probably tricked us earlier. Also, who is that girl? She’s so pretty.”

Qiao Jing sidestepped a hug that Cao Feiyu intended for her.

“Milk tea will make you gain weight. Your manager doesn’t care? I’ll go get him.”

Qiao Mengtong watched Qiao Jing with schadenfreude—how dare she tell Cao Feiyu he’d gain weight?

She remembered Cao Feiyu hated threats the most; Qiao Jing was as good as dead!

After hearing that, Cao Feiyu stopped sipping his milk tea and made a pitiful face.

“Wait! Xiao Jingjing, that’s so heartless of you. You say such hurtful things the moment we meet. I’ll just drink a little bit, please don’t tell my manager, okay?”

Qiao Mengtong couldn’t believe that the person in front of her was Cao Feiyu, her mouth agape in shock.

Cao Feiyu didn’t scold Qiao Jing?! And he was even indulging her?!

With an expressionless face, Qiao Jing said, “Aren’t you afraid of getting fat?”

“Afraid of what? This is specially fed by Xiao Jingjing. If I get fat, so be it. But enough about that, Xiao Jingjing, I really missed you. Not only have we not seen each other for so long, but you also don’t plan to come to my start-up ceremony!”

Cao Feiyu complained about Qiao Jing’s ‘crimes’ with a look of grievance.

“I recall that we met not long ago.”

Qiao Jing rolled her eyes, reminding him.

Cao Feiyu pretended not to hear and kept clinging to Qiao Jing, saying things others had no chance of hearing.

“It’s been a long time! Xiao Jingjing, do you not know what ‘a day apart feels like three seasons have passed’? How about this, from now on you can live at my place, or I can live at yours, so we can see each other every day.”

“Forget it, I’ve thought it over, just marry me. I’ll take care of you every day, doing the laundry, mopping the floors, sweeping, cooking, it’ll all be on me! Plus, free bed-warming service included!”

Qiao Mengtong, who was closest to the two, heard every word clearly!

Her mouth dropped open wide enough to fit an egg, stunned. Was that really Cao Feiyu?!

And Qiao Jing said they had met not long ago? Had they been meeting in secret frequently?

How could that be?! How could Qiao Jing possibly know Cao Feiyu? One is a big star, the other is a bumpkin; how could they possibly know each other?!

“Get lost,” Qiao Jing said curtly.

And with that, she turned on her heel and started to walk away as if she intended to leave the set.

Cao Feiyu immediately hustled to keep up with her, even beginning to whine playfully.

“Don’t be so heartless, Xiao Jingjing, do you really not love me anymore?”

Watching the two leave, Qiao Mengtong stood there, dumbfounded.

How could this be? How could they be so familiar with each other? And the things Cao Feiyu said, they shook her world view!

What exactly is the relationship between Qiao Jing and Cao Feiyu? From the looks of their conversation, it seems entirely one-sided on Cao Feiyu’s part!

The female extras standing further away couldn’t hear their conversation clearly, only catching bits about Xiao Jingjing.

As Cao Feiyu left, they also dispersed, a few of their comments reaching Qiao Mengtong’s ears.

“Qiao Mengtong really has a thick face, aiming so high as to catch Cao Feiyu’s attention.”

“Exactly! I knew it, how could such a nobody like her know Cao Feiyu? She was just boasting.”

“She even said she was close to Feiyu, look at her getting slapped in the face now. I was envious of her at the time.”

These words felt like slaps to Qiao Mengtong’s face, her cheeks burning as each comment landed.

Not to mention, she had claimed she’d get Qiao Jing an autograph and the like! With Cao Feiyu practically ready to take Qiao Jing home, would he still need her introduction?

The start-up ceremony began, and the lead actor Cao Feiyu left Qiao Jing with reluctance, took a few stylized photos, and a group photo with everyone.

Seeing that Cao Feiyu was about to leave after taking the stylized photos, Qiao Jing planned to leave as well, but he noticed and stopped her.

“Xiao Jingjing, wait for me to finish, and I’ll take you out for dinner. I’ll be done soon!”

Qiao Jing also didn’t mind. She didn’t have anything else to do that evening, so she decided to stay until the ceremony was over.

Suddenly, Qiao Jing received a phone call. She glanced at Cao Feiyu who was still taking photos, then walked to a less crowded spot and pressed the answer button.

“What’s up?”

“I’m now waiting for you at the entrance of the set. It’s late, and I’ve come to take you home.”

Zhan Qipei was standing outside the set entrance, his gaze lingering on the doorway.
