Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 700: Chapter 689: Zhan Qipei Finally Getting Cared for?

He took a few steps forward and came to Qiao Jing’s side.

"Miss Qiao, have you played many escape room games?"

Qiao Jing slightly furrowed her brows and looked up at Zhou Yunxiang.

Thinking about how accommodating Yunxiang had been during the game, she was about to answer him when her view was blocked by a figure.

Zhan Qipei stood in front of Qiao Jing, blocking between the two of them.

He pursed his lips and looked at Qiao Jing.

"Let’s go back."

He had originally brought Qiao Jing here to bond, but he hadn’t expected some unexpected events to occur.

Far from bringing them closer, it had ended up with Qiao Jing teaming up with another man.

Qiao Jing glanced at the person deliberately standing between her and Yunxiang and rolled her eyes in exasperation.

This damn man, really... Yunxiang even has a partner, right beside him, and yet he gets jealous over this.

And she could tell, Yunxiang just admired her for her quick puzzle-solving abilities,

Qiao Jing took a step to the side and looked at Yunxiang.

"No, it’s my first time playing."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiang was shocked and his admiration grew even more.

"You’re this good on your first try at an escape room? Then, Miss Qiao, you must be a really sharp thinker, right?"

He had thought Qiao Jing was a veteran escape room enthusiast, but she was a first-timer?

And yet, she played better than him, a seasoned player!

The staff hadn’t expected Qiao Jing to be a first-timer either because when she solved the puzzles in the room, her speed was unbelievably fast.

They had thought President Zhan was quick, but Miss Qiao was every bit his equal.

Qiao Jing nodded slightly and murmured a soft "Mhm."

Suddenly, she found it odd that now, while talking to Yunxiang, Li Yunyun wasn’t interjecting like she had been in the escape room.

With this thought, she looked up at Li Yunyun, meeting her gaze just in time.

Li Yunyun was still standing there, staring at Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei intently.

After hesitating for a long while, she took a few steps forward and came to Qiao Jing’s face.

"Um... Qiao Jing, wait for me for a second."

After saying this, she hurriedly walked outside.

Back inside, she had constantly felt that Qiao Jing was a seductress, thinking her own boyfriend was unattractive while Qiao Jing’s boyfriend was very handsome, so she wanted to seduce her boyfriend.

Now that she had gotten a clear look at Qiao Jing’s boyfriend, his looks were impeccably handsome, many times better looking than her own boyfriend.

Without exaggeration, Qiao Jing’s boyfriend was the handsomest man she had ever seen.

So, she had misunderstood Qiao Jing back inside, thinking she wanted to seduce her boyfriend and had said all kinds of harsh words.

A wave of guilt surged through her, and thinking of a way to make it up to Qiao Jing, she walked out on her own initiative.

Zhou Yunxiang didn’t know what Li Yunyun was planning to do, and as he followed her, he asked,

"Yunyun, what do you need from Miss Qiao?"

Li Yunyun didn’t speak; instead, she quickened her steps and headed outside.

Hearing Li Yunyun’s words, Qiao Jing furrowed her brows as a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Although she didn’t know what Li Yunyun suddenly making her wait and then leaving was about, she could clearly sense that Yunyun’s animosity had lessened considerably.

Otherwise, Li Yunyun would have started targeting her the moment she first spoke to Yunxiang.

In no time, Li Yunyun returned, holding a bottle of water.

She quickly approached Qiao Jing, handed her the water, and said softly:

"Qiao Jing... I’m sorry, I misunderstood you earlier..."

It was not just that, she was indeed shocked by Qiao Jing’s capabilities afterwards, so she hardly said anything more.

After all, Qiao Jing could completely outclass her in terms of abilities alone.

Qiao Jing looked at the bottle of water in front of her, paused for a moment, and quickly reacted, reaching out to take the water Li Yunyun handed her.

"It’s okay."

She was actually quite surprised inside; Li Yunyun had apologized to her?

Seeing that Qiao Jing wasn’t holding a grudge, Li Yunyun felt even more that she had been unreasonable during their confrontation.

She lowered her head and stammered as she began to speak.

"Don’t be angry... I really misunderstood you by accident, I’m sorry."

Seeing Li Yunyun’s remorseful expression, Qiao Jing’s mouth slightly curved upwards.

"I said it’s okay, I accept your apology."

Since Li Yunyun had sincerely apologized and hadn’t done anything more outrageous, even buying her a bottle of water, there was no need to hold a grudge.

Li Yunyun saw that Qiao Jing truly forgave her, her eyes brightened, and just as she was about to step forward to continue chatting, a human wall suddenly emerged in front of her.

Zhan Qipei forcefully stood between the two, and without a word, grabbed Qiao Jing’s hand.

"It’s getting late, let’s go back."

Qiao Jing glanced at the time and nodded.

"Okay."

She was still rushing to return to the capital to continue working.

Seeing this, Zhou Yunxiang and Li Yunyun quickly greeted Qiao Jing and her party.

"Qiao Jing! Goodbye!"

"Miss Qiao, goodbye."

Qiao Jing paused her steps, turned back, and bid farewell to the few people.

The next day, in the capital.

Just as Qiao Jing was about to head to the institute for work, she opened the door and met Su Manhan who was standing at the door, about to ring the doorbell.

She paused, then responded:

"Madam Zhan, good morning."

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Su Manhan’s face showed a somewhat "dissatisfied" expression, and she chided:

"Why do you still call me Madam Zhan, it’s too formal! I’ve said many times, you should call me mom."

Qiao Jing revealed a somewhat helpless smile, looked at the clock on the wall, and realized it was already late.

Her gaze fell on the insulated bag in Su Manhan’s hand, and without having to guess, she knew what was inside.

She spoke somewhat helplessly.

"Then I’ll call you Auntie Su, Auntie Su, I need to go to work now."

She knew that Su Manhan was here this morning for a purpose, likely bringing some supplements or well-prepared soup, insisting on watching her drink it.

Before Su Manhan knew she was pregnant, it was just the occasional meal delivery. noveldrama

Now that she knew about the pregnancy, it had turned into daily meal deliveries, and just a few days ago, she and Zhan Qipei were on vacation in An City, dodging a week of meals.

Su Manhan was not only delivering breakfast and lunch, but also dinner, and even created a personalized menu for her, instructing Zhan Qipei to cook according to it.

Hearing that Qiao Jing was going to work, Su Manhan furrowed her brows.

"Whether you are at home or once you get to the institute, you have to drink the soup I made for you, understand? Where is Qipei?"

When Qiao Jing saw that Su Manhan finally decided to care about her own son, she felt touched on behalf of Zhan Qipei for a moment and answered:

"He’s changing his clothes."

Just as she had finished feeling moved for Zhan Qipei, Su Manhan’s next words made her not know whether to laugh or cry.
