Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 211: Chapter 204: The Answer Qiao Jing Gave

Qiao Jing fixed her gaze on the man, whose eyes were profound, his dark pupils reflecting only her, as if they

couldn’t contain anyone else.

The water droplets from the man’s hair trickled down his forehead to his face, over his nose, yet he paid no

heed, just kept staring intently at Qiao Jing.

Lu Zijiao scratched the back of his head, and began to inwardly meditate.

The atmosphere stiffened, and the man continued to stand in the rain, watching, and inexplicably, Qiao Jing’s

anger flared up.

“If I don’t answer today, will you just stand here in the rain forever?”

Zhan Qipei didn’t speak, continuing to gaze unwaveringly at Qiao Jing.

Two seconds later, Qiao Jing turned and walked away.

“This—" Now Lu Zijiao was more anxious than the emperor himself!

She just left?

Isn't that too heartless?

No wonder his older brother never dared to confess his feelings to Qiao Jing. It wasn’t that his brother was too

meek to confess, but that even if he did confess, he would only be rebuffed.

If he wasn’t mistaken, his brother was worried that after confessing, they couldn't even be friends anymore.

This was very obvious from Zhan Qipei’s demeanor. Look at Young Master Zhan, he chased her to this extent,

only to end up like this.

What does this imply? It could only mean that Qiao Jing was truly out of most people's league.

Zhan Qipei watched the increasingly distant silhouette of the girl, his expression becoming even more somber.

Lu Zijiao walked up to Zhan Qipei, patted him on the shoulder, and just as Lu Zijiao was thinking of how to

console Zhan Qipei, Qiao Jing, who had walked sdistance, suddenly stopped.

Zhan Qipei’s scattered gaze refocused sharply on Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing slightly opened her mouth and uttered a word.

“You.”

Qiao Jing gave her answer!

It was him!

It was him, Zhan Qipei!!!

A dazzling light flashed in the depths of Zhan Qipei’s somber eyes as he strode towards Qiao Jing, his long legs

covering the ground in quick steps.

“You, are you serious?”

Qiao Jing turned around, looked at Zhan Qipei, “You savedbefore, it’s only reasonable that | save you in

return.”

Qiao Jing’s explanation wasn’t about her being cold and heartless, but rather that she had no romantic feelings

for Zhan Qipei. Since there were no such feelings, there was no need for ambiguity.

So, this was her explanation.

Zhan Qipei didn’t care about Qiao Jing’s explanation. Whatever the reason, Qiao Jing had given him the answer

he most wanted.

Merely this, was already enough.

“I really do have a special place in your heart,” Zhan Qipei said, laughter escaping as he grasped Qiao Jing’s

shoulders.

Qiao Jing looked down at the hand on her shoulder, frowning slightly, but she didn’t rush to shake him off.

“The rain is getting heavier, let's go back.”

“Okay,” Zhan Qipei’s hand slid from Qiao Jing’s shoulder to grasp her hand.

Lu Zijiao watched the pair get into the car, smirked, shook his head and muttered to himself, “I worried over

nothing for them, only to be fed a face full of dog food in the end.”

“Ah—big brother, oh big brother, look at Young Master Zhan, then look at yourself. | guess in this lifetQiao

Jing is unlikely to becmy sister-in-law.”

Wu Xirui arrived at the hotel entrance, his eyes containing a smile that was not quite a smile, watching the car

disappear.

“This is just the first step, what follows...”

“Heh—" Wu Xirui’s mouth twitched upward, his face filled with a sinister smile.

After returning to Nantai Apartment, Zhan Qipei asked Qiao Jing to take a shower first.

Qiao Jing, too, had been drenched in rain. After quickly taking a hot shower, she stepped out of the bathroom

and said, “You go wash.”

Zhan Qipei had been in the rain longer, and with winter not fully past, there was a good chance he might catch a

cold in this weather.

“No rush.” Zhan Qipei had changed into a clean bathrobe, and his hair, having been wiped with a towel, was still

a bit wet.

Qiao Jing, puzzled, sat across from Zhan Qipei, “Is there something you need to talk toabout?”

Zhan Qipei fell silent for two seconds before he spoke, “How exactly do you know Wu Xirui?”

Qiao Jing sensed something unusual in his tone, “Do you have a history with Wu Xirui?”

As soon as Qiao Jing asked this question, Zhan Qipei stood up and walked towards the balcony.

Seeing his attitude, Qiao Jing was even more sure of her guess—there was definitely something complex

between Wu Xirui and Zhan Qipei.

“I was just asking, if it’s inconvenient for you to say, then never mind.”

Qiao Jing had barely finished speaking when Zhan Qipei’s voice followed.

“Actually, were it not for me, the person to inherit the Zhan family assets would have been my aunt.”

“Huh?” Qiao Jing expressed her confusion. Zhan Qipei had an aunt? Why had she never seen her? Nor had she

heard anyone mention her.

Zhan Qipei continued from where he

had left off, “My aunt was

extraordinarily talented from a ¥q4yng

age, always the topétderitin’

studies. Not only that, but she also

possessed an exceptional talent for

business. She was fully dedicated to

Hearing this, Qiao Jing faintly picked up on something.

“What happened later?”

Qiao Jing guessed that her unawareness of Zhan Qipei’s aunt's existence must be related to Zhan Qipei taking

over as the head of the Zhan family.

Before leaving, she swore that one

After hearing Zhan Qipei’s words, Qiao Jing thought her guess was indeed correct.

“Why then did your grandfather not pass the head position of the Zhan family to your aunt? Was it because she’s

a woman?”

“That wasn't it,” said Zhan Qipei. “My

How should | put it? My aunt’s business philosophy starkly contrasted with the original intentions my grandfather

had when founding the company. She was too profit-oriented. For example,

Take Angel Welfare Institute. If my aunt were in charge, she wouldn't care about personal sentiments; she would

only pursue profits, and Angel Welfare Institute would definitely be demolished.”

Qiao Jing understood: Zhan Qipei’s aunt was someone who would do anything to achieve her goals, someone too

cold and ruthless.

And Zhan Yuanshan was not that kind of person at all.

“What is Wu Xirui’s relationship with your aunt?” Qiao Jing pondered for a couple of seconds before asking.

“You guessed it?” Zhan Qipei was not at all surprised. As perceptive as Qiao Jing, with him explaining as much as

he had, if she hadn't guessed it, she wouldn’t be Qiao Jing.

“He’s my aunt’s son.”

Qiao Jing slightly furrowed her brows, connecting this to what Zhan Qipei had just shared, and the harsh words

his aunt had left with.

“So, Wu Xirui cback here to take revenge on your Zhan family?”

Speaking of which, Wu Xirui had mentioned a couple of days ago that his sworn enemy would appear at the

banquet.

Now it seemed that the ‘sworn enemy’ he referred to was Zhan Qipei.

Since he was Zhan Qipei’s aunt's son, here in the capital for revenge, he surely knew about her relationship with

Zhan Qipei.
