Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 252: Chapter 244: Do you like it stronger?

Zhan Kaiyang hummed heavily and left with his family.

Qiao Jing ignored Lou Xinrou’s gaze and watched the rueful retreat of Zhan Nan and his family.

After the ended, Zhan Qipei decisively took Qiao Jing back home.

The next day at noon.

Zhan Qipei brought the dishes to the dining table for Qiao Jing.

Just by looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, his stomach began to stir.

Zhan Qipei swallowed his saliva. Qiao Jing’s cooking skills were quite impressive; the aroma of the food could

waft to the neighbors.

But then he suddenly remembered something and could only restrain himself, looking at the lavish meal on the

table.

Zhan Qipei served Qiao Jing a bow! of soup and placed it on the table, “Tto eat, I'll clean up the kitchen after

I've finished eating.”

“Thank you.” Qiao Jing cout when the kitchen was already cleaned up by her.

After she sat down and finished a bowl of soup, Zhan Qipei also started eating.

“You didn’t have any soup?” Qiao Jing noticed that Zhan Qipei’s bowl contained only rice.

Zhan Qipei shifted his gaze away from the soup, “I drank salready.”

He was still very tempted by the soup Qiao Jing had cooked, but unfortunately, he had to control himself and

couldn’t even have the soup.

Qiao Jing glanced at Zhan Qipei’s bowl, which had not a speck of oil and contained only rice.

She did not expose Zhan Qipei’s lie.

About five minutes later, Qiao Jing sensed something was off.

It wasn’t the first tthis had happened. Zhan Qipei had recently been eating very little, even skipping the

soup.

Normally, he would eat two to three bowls of rice, but now he was down to one, and he seldom took much from

the dishes.

If cooked based on their normal appetites, the amount was just right, but now there were leftovers.

This made the thrifty Qiao Jing somewhat distressed about the wasted food, so she decided to ask, “Have the

meals I've been making recently not been to your liking?”

But logically speaking, Zhan Qipei shouldn't have lost his appetite suddenly since the food usually tasted about

the same, and he had always enjoyed it previously.

Zhan Qipei averted his eyes, afraid to look at Qiao Jing, and replied, “Not at all.”

Though he had been trying hard not to let Qiao Jing notice by reducing his frequency of taking dishes, he was

still found out.

“But there have been leftovers recently,” Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, looking at the dishes on the table and

starting to recall her cooking steps.

Could it be that she messed up sstep? But she didn’t think there was any change in taste when she ate it.

Only then did Zhan Qipei remember; recently, because of his own reason, Qiao Jing had been eating more of the

dishes than usual.

He thought of an excuse, saying, “Perhaps we bought too much. We can buy a little less.”

“I buy groceries based on our regular portions,” Qiao Jing looked at Zhan Qipei, trying to read something from his

face.

If there are leftovers, then there is only one reason: someone's appetite has decreased.

Zhan Qipei thought to himself, because his wife's cooking was too delicious, he couldn't control his eating, and

he had recently gained weight—what should he do?

During this period, he had gained twenty pounds, but he didn’t want Qiao Jing to misunderstand that he was

eating less because he disliked the food.

The meals were not just to his liking; they were extremely delicious.

“The food suits my taste very well, it's delicious,” Zhan Qipei explained.

“Why do you eat so little?” Qiao Jing asked patiently.

She didn’t want to waste food, and eating the extra portion meant for Zhan Qipei would make her too full.

Qiao Jing had bought just enough food for their appetites, and eating Zhan Qipei’s portion too would be

somewhat forced.

Zhan Qipei hesitated for a while but still did not tell the truth, “No, | eat the samount as usual.”

“You usually eat two or three bowls of rice, and now you're only eating one? You haven't been drinking soup

recently either.”

Zhan Qipei was stunned; he hadn’t expected Qiao Jing to remember how many bowls of rice he ate. It seemed

she really cared about him.

Zhan Qipei opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say to defend himself.

Qiao Jing didn’t speak either but put down her chopsticks and looked at Zhan Qipei, waiting for his next

explanation.

The two of them remained in a stalemate for a while, Zhan Qipei under Qiao Jing’s gaze.

In the end, Zhan Qipei backed down, somewhat helplessly saying, “Because I've gained about ten pounds

recently and want to control my weight. The food is delicious, but if | keep eating like this, my weight will

continue to rise.”

After hearing Zhan Qipei’s explanation, Qiao Jing studied him from head to toe with a measuring look.

However, from Zhan Qipei’s appearance, it still didn’t look like he had gained weight; instead, his build seemed

much more solid.

After all, with Zhan Qipei’s height, his current weight was normal; previously, he was underweight.

Qiao Jing withdrew her gaze, “You don’t need to control your eating. Getting a bit bulkier is good; you were too

thin before. You look better now.”

Zhan Qipei’s eyes brightened, “Really? | look better than before?”

“Yes, I'm not lying to you,” Qiao Jing replied.

At this, Zhan Qipei’s mood improved considerably, “So, you like it a bit bulkier?”

Qiao Jing did not respond to Zhan

Dieting is not a good method for losing weight; that cup of Intestine Cleansing Tea can expel excess fat and

impurities from the body.

After hearing this, Zhan Qipei looked

Ever since he met Qiao Jing, he thought she had a better figure than those international models.

Living together, he found that Qiao Jing also had a good appetite, not eating any less than a man.

But importantly, Qiao Jing’s figure remained slim, the sas when he first saw her, while his own weight had

gained a full ten pounds.

Could it be that Qiao Jing was able to maintain her figure because of that tea?

If that was truly the case, then he wouldn't have to diet so harshly.

“No, | just don’t gain weight,” Qiao Jing said flatly as she picked up smeat with her chopsticks and placed it

in her bowl.

Her tone was so matter-of-fact that it didn’t seem like she was boasting, but rather stating a fact.

This ability to eat without gaining weight was something many women dreamed of, yet Qiao Jing felt indifferent

about it.

Zhan Qipei also gave Qiao Jing an envious look, knowing he needed to control his weight, or by middle age, he

might beca portly man.

Otherwise, why would he leave such delicious food untouched?

“Ill make you Intestine Cleansing Tea, so you don’t have to control your portion size,” Qiao Jing reminded him,

signaling for Zhan Qipei to finish his meal.

Reassured by Qiao Jing’s promise, Zhan Qipei finally moved his chopsticks and ate two more bowls of rice. “Is the

Intestine Cleansing Tea homemade by you?”

“Yes, | figured it out when | had sfree time,” Qiao Jing said, noting that Zhan Qipei had stopped restricting

his diet, and her furrowed brow relaxed.
