Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 371: Chapter 360 Qiao Jing Speaks for Zhan Qipei

The other three were stunned on the spot, and Zhan Ruiting had the biggest reaction. His eyes widened as he stared at Qiao Jing without stopping.

Just as he was about to say something, his view of Qiao Jing was suddenly blocked by a black figure.

Wearing a black suit, Zhan Qipei stood in front of Zhan Ruiting, shielding Qiao Jing completely.

He swept the men present with a cold glare, retracting his gaze when it reached Xu Hongzu.

“Do you have any more business here?”

It was normal for such an outstanding woman as his wife to be liked by others, but Qiao Jing was his, and nobody was allowed to covet his wife.

Especially this cousin of his, whose eyes were practically popping out of his head as he stared at Qiao Jing.

Thinking of this, Zhan Qipei’s icy look deliberately lingered on Zhan Ruiting for a few more seconds.

Zhan Ruiting felt intimidated by that cold gaze, but he still couldn’t let go and shifted to the side to catch a glimpse of Qiao Jing and then continued to ask.

“Why suddenly give cousin a chance? What’s really going on here?”

Time was already up, and Qiao Jing didn’t like cousin, so why suddenly give cousin a chance?

Xu Hongzu frowned and spoke earnestly.

“Xiao Jing, what’s the matter? Don’t force yourself, your happiness is what’s most important.”

He had been eagerly waiting for Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei’s divorce, finally, his good-for-nothing grandson had a chance, but now he couldn’t wrap his head around the current situation.

Xu Moqian was dumbfounded too, staring at Qiao Jing incredulously and asking.

“Sister Jing, is it true? You gave Zhan Qipei a chance?”

Zhan Nanqing, seeing these people all wanting to tear her brother and Qiao Jing apart, clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.

“Brother, it’s already past twelve, please take Qiao Jing to eat.”

If this questioning by these two went on, it would never end.

Zhan Qipei also didn’t want to delay any longer, and when he turned to look at Qiao Jing, the darkness on his face vanished, replaced by a very soft expression in his eyes.

“Let’s go.”

The doubts of these people were not important now; what was most important was having a meal with his wife.

Qiao Jing didn’t respond to Zhan Qipei but instead looked up at Xu Hongzu with a very serious expression.

“Giving him a chance was something I seriously considered.”

She didn’t want her friends to feel that she was struggling to give Zhan Qipei a chance.

This was a matter she had carefully pondered over; she didn’t want others to question it.

Everyone present could tell what Qiao Jing meant by her words.

Shocked!

Xu Moqian and Zhan Ruiting had their mouths agape, swallowing reflexively.

Their eyes wandered back and forth between Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei.

Qiao Jing was actually seriously considering giving Zhan Qipei a chance?!

Xu Moqian was even more shocked; just a few days ago, he had clearly heard Sister Jing say she had decided to divorce, so why the sudden change of heart?!

Could it be that Sister Jing had fallen for Zhan Qipei? No! Impossible!

Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes shone, a hint of joy flitting across them, and he couldn’t help but smile.

His wife had made the decision for him!

His wife had spoken on his behalf!

He was one step closer to his wife now!

Seeing the smile that emerged on Zhan Qipei’s face, Zhan Nanqing suddenly felt her brother was rather easy to please.

Before he met Qiao Jing, she had never seen her brother smile in all her life.

It was just a single sentence from Qiao Jing, and it made her brother so happy.

After hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Xu Hongzu’s frown deepened; he glanced at his grandson, then at Qiao Jing, and waved his hand.

“Since it’s Xiao Jing’s choice, there must be a reason behind it, so I will say no more. Go and have your meal.”

Qiao Jing “Hmm”ed, and followed Zhan Qipei into the car.

Zhan Ruiting, who was still standing in the same spot, hung his head in utter dejection.

Seeing her cousin Zhan Nanqing so upset, Zhan Nanqing stepped forward to offer a word of comfort.

“Don’t be so downhearted, Qiao Jing and my brother really are fated to be together, that’s why after all the twists and turns they’ve ended up together again. You and Qiao Jing aren’t fated, and there’s nothing you can do about it, right?

I think it won’t be long before they’re officially together. Don’t worry, you’re not bad yourself, you can find a good woman too.”

Zhan Ruiting lifted his head, looking at Zhan Nanqing with a resentful gaze.

“Is that supposed to be comforting?”

Telling him that the person he likes is about to be with someone else during his time of heartbreak, who comforts someone like that?!

Should he give Zhan Nanqing a ‘nice person’ card?

Xu Moqian, who was standing to the side, had an epiphany after hearing Zhan Nanqing’s words.

He had wondered why Zhan Nanqing was still so happy after Sister Jing and Zhan Qipei divorced.

As it turns out, Sister Jing and Zhan Qipei never got divorced!

They’d deliberately kept him in suspense, all with the aim of saving this big twist for now, to infuriate him to death, right?

Receiving the discontended look from Xu Moqian, Zhan Nanqing hummed a tune and happily returned to the research institute.

Xu Hongzu sighed, not expecting things to turn out this way, but he couldn’t abandon the idea of having Qiao Jing as his granddaughter-in-law.

“You brat, Xiao Jing only said she would give Zhan Qipei a chance. She didn’t say she’s agreed to him now. Don’t be discouraged, keep it up, but just…

Xu Moqian immediately looked up, eager to hear more.

“But just what?”

Xu Moqian stroked his chin, looking in the direction where Qiao Jing had left.

“But you can’t be so blatant about it, otherwise, you’ll get a reputation for going after a married woman.”

He definitely couldn’t let the Zhan Family take all the advantages; now that there was a chance, he absolutely wouldn’t give up. Xiao Jing, such a wonderful woman, would be so much better joining the Xu Family!

Upon hearing these words from Xu Hongzu, Zhan Ruiting’s eyes brightened, looking toward the other man.

“Thank you, I feel like I still have hope now!”

Xu Hongzu was taken aback for a moment, then snorted heavily upon realizing that the person speaking to him was another young man from the Zhan Family,

“I was talking to my grandson, not to you. What are you fighting for? If anyone has a chance, it’s my grandson. Why do you Zhan family people love to compete with my Xu family so much for people?”

Zhan Ruiting, who had regained his spirits, didn’t take in what Xu Hongzu had said and turned to run toward his car.

Whatever happens, he still had a chance!

Xu Moqian couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the sight of Zhan Ruiting, who looked like an idiot.

“Grandpa, I guarantee that I stand more of a chance than that idiot, especially since I can come to the institute every day and have more opportunities to interact with Sister Jing.”

Xu Hongzu furrowed his eyebrows, feeling somewhat uneasy.

He always had a nagging doubt, which he hadn’t felt before, because Xiao Jing had never shown any particular stance toward Zhan Qipei and always maintained a distant attitude; therefore, he believed his grandson had a chance too.

But now that Xiao Jing said she would give Zhan Qipei a chance, it meant she was beginning to try to accept Zhan Qipei…

Wait!

Suddenly, Xu Hongzu thought of something and glared at Xu Moqian with a look of frustration,

“What’s the use of comparing yourself with that idiot? Your biggest rival right now is Zhan Qipei! It seems like you’ve reached the pinnacle of stupidity…”

He was so angry that he started to cough violently, unable to speak for a moment.

If his grandson could say such a thing, perhaps there wasn’t much hope left.

Before Xu Hongzu had the chance to clear his thoughts, Xu Moqian dragged him away to eat.

Meanwhile, Qiao Jing was brought by Zhan Qipei to a high-end restaurant in the city center, where they chose a window-side table.

From this spot, they could take in the full view of the capital’s scenery.

The restaurant was decorated in a European style and even featured a musician playing a soothing piano piece.

Qiao Jing turned away from the window and spoke to the man opposite her,

“You don’t need to pick me up this afternoon; I’ll be seeing patients at Wonderful Hall, and Wu Xirui will come for a consultation. I’ll take a taxi back later.”
