Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 165: Chapter 158: Your Figure is Not as Good as Zhan Qipei

“`

“Look at this body of mine, it’s been specially trained! What do you think?”

Pfft! Shameless!

Zhan Nanqing rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Not to mention Zhan Nanqing, even Gan Lanlan covered her eyes, unable to watch.

Qiao Jing breezed past Xu Moqian.

“His physique is better than yours.”

After Qiao Jing said that, she stopped paying attention to Xu Moqian and turned to water the vegetables.

As she was watering, Qiao Jing suddenly realized it had become too quiet behind her, an unusual kind of quiet.

Unexpectedly!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Qiao Jing’s mind flashed back to what she had just said.

Zhan Qipei’s physique is better than Xu Moqian’s.

What did that imply? It meant she had seen Zhan Qipei’s physique!

Upon further thought, the fact that she had seen Zhan Qipei’s physique indicated that she and Zhan Qipei had some unspeakable affair.

No wonder it had suddenly gotten so quiet, right?

“Sister Jing! Did that bastard Zhan Qipei bully you?” Xu Moqian bellowed loudly.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing suddenly had a headache.

Qiao Jing turned around and saw Xu Moqian rolling up his sleeves, looking ready to kill.

Before she could explain, Zhan Nanqing burst out and shouted at Xu Moqian, “Who are you calling a bastard? What did my brother do to offend you, and what right do you have to insult him?”

“So what if I insult him? He bullied my Sister Jing; he deserves to be cursed.” Xu Moqian was completely unwilling to back down just because Zhan Nanqing was a woman.

In his life, he had never let anyone have their way, except for the people he cared about.

Like Qiao Jing.

Unfortunately, given Qiao Jing’s capabilities, she barely needed him to “give in”.

“My brother and Qiao Jing are legally married, can that even be called bullying? If a married couple doesn’t do that sort of thing, that’s sick!” Zhan Nanqing, hands on her hips and head raised, was every bit as imposing as Xu Moqian.

“Deserving? Your brother is no more than cow dung, not worthy of being with my Sister Jing, this beautiful flower!”

“…”

Unable to listen anymore, Qiao Jing interjected, “Enough!”

“But, Sister Jing—”

Xu Moqian had barely started when Qiao Jing interrupted him.

“If you say one more word, I’ll have you thrown out of my research institute.”

Xu Moqian obediently shut his mouth.

“Beautiful! Humph, humph!” Zhan Nanqing strutted around, head held high like a rooster who had just won a fight.

Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Nanqing annoyed, and Zhan Nanqing pouted. Although she felt resentful inside, she didn’t verbalize it because of Qiao Jing’s commanding presence. She simply held her peace.

If Su Manhan had seen Zhan Nanqing’s behavior, she would have been extremely surprised.

Because Zhan Nanqing had been spoiled by Su Manhan and Zhan Yao since she was a child, when she lost her temper, neither of them knew what to do with her—only Zhan Qipei could manage her.

Yet at that moment, Zhan Nanqing was making concessions to Qiao Jing, something even she herself had yet to realize.

Qiao Jing, speechless, looked at Zhan Nanqing and Xu Moqian, “Both of your imaginations could qualify you to be scriptwriters. I saw Zhan Qipei because I’ve treated his injuries, that’s all.”

Hearing Qiao Jing’s explanation, Xu Moqian breathed a sigh of relief and remembered the scene from Lichuan County Hospital, where Qiao Jing had checked Zhan Qipei’s injuries.

“`

Qiao Jing had once performed surgery on Zhan Qipei, removing a bullet from him.

Although the two had physical contact, Qiao Jing was a doctor, and such things were unavoidable. If he had to make a big deal out of it, it would just make him seem too petty as a man.

It was time to get off work.

Originally, Zhan Nanqing had planned on tidying up her things and leaving, but seeing Qiao Jing still working on her research report, she wondered if it would be too lazy of her to just leave?

She was already worlds apart from Sister Jing, and with Sister Jing working so hard, the gap would only widen further. Nanqing feared she would fall even further behind as time went on.

An hour passed, and after Qiao Jing finished her work, she heard some noise coming from the greenhouse and went to see. It was Zhan Nanqing tending to the vegetables inside the greenhouse.

“Not bad.”

Hearing these two words, Zhan Nanqing turned around and curled her lips, “As if I need your compliments.”

Although Zhan Nanqing said so with her mouth, deep down, she actually felt quite a complex surge of emotions being praised by Qiao Jing.

It was probably a greater sense of achievement than being complimented by a teacher or principal during her school days.

“Why haven’t you left so late?” Qiao Jing asked as she walked over.

“You’re working so hard, of course, I have to do the same. I will definitely surpass you in the future,” Zhan Nanqing said, her face turning slightly red.

She was talking big, and she didn’t even believe herself.

“Hmm, not bad, good ambition. Actually, surpassing me is not that hard. I’m just an ordinary person with two eyes, one nose, and a mouth. As long as you’re willing to put in the effort, you may have the chance to surpass me in the future. And you’re still young, full of potential,” Qiao Jing said, not as an encouragement to Zhan Nanqing but as an honest statement from the heart.

Zhan Nanqing looked at Qiao Jing’s serious and meticulous face, and if she hadn’t felt that Qiao Jing’s words weren’t sarcastic, she would have jumped up and cursed at Qiao Jing’s face.

Is that so Versailles?

Calling her young? She’s only a few months younger than you, okay?

Zhan Nanqing thought about the big talk she had just spouted, and compared it with Qiao Jing’s words spoken in the tone of an elder, and with that comparison, she felt like a bronze player standing before the ultimate king.

Now, she really wanted to take back what she had said earlier.

“Since you’re working so hard, then let me help you out.” Qiao Jing handed over the freshly organized treatment to Zhan Nanqing, “This research report is a draft I hurriedly put together when I was short on time. There are many flaws, and some logical coherence issues. Take it back, sort it out well. Give it to me in a couple of days.”

Zhan Nanqing looked at the stack of materials in her hands, as thick as a book. Speaking of which, she had seen Qiao Jing busy with this all afternoon. In less than three hours, she wrote such a report?

Unbelievable!

While Zhan Nanqing was internally criticizing, she began to flip through it.

And the more she read, the stronger her criticism grew.

It was so rigorously written, almost flawlessly, and yet, Qiao Jing had told her it was a hastily put-together draft due to time constraints?

Draft!

Damn! (This is a very green and healthy civilized expression)

“Let’s go, I’m going to lock up,” Qiao Jing said, leading the way.

Zhan Nanqing, clutching the thick stack of research reports, felt as if thousands of grass-mud horses were stampeding through her heart.

As they just stepped out of the research institute, their eyes were caught by a pink luxury car parked on the side of the road.

“Isn’t that Zhu Tingting’s car?” Zhan Nanqing recognized it immediately. “Did Zhu Tingting get out of prison?”

The last time in the mall, Zhu Tingting had a confrontation with Qiao Jing. It was a big scene that ended up with the police being called, and Zhu Tingting was taken away by them.

At that time, she felt Captain Zhao was quite angry, and now she understood why—it was because Zhu Tingting had insulted one of their empire’s agricultural tycoons.

And the insults were so nasty, no wonder Zhu Tingting wasn’t let out even after the Zhu Family and her husband went to the police station.

Zhu Tingting got out of the car, eyes bulging with rage, staring at Qiao Jing.

“I’ve finally caught up with you! Now, kneel down and slap yourself a hundred times, or else, hmph! Just wait for a fate worse than death,” she exclaimed.
