Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 278: Chapter 268 Zhan Qipei Notices Something Amiss

“They would have notified us for sure, not kept it hidden until now.”

“If I hadn’t brought Qiao Jing to the hospital today, she probably wouldn't even know she was pregnant.”

Zhan Nanging shifted her gaze to Qiao Jing’s belly, her eyes filled with happiness. She was going to be an aunt!

And not just to one, but to three children!

The thought of three little ones calling her “auntie” in the future, and her sister-in-law being the number one

agriculture mogul Professor Qiao, combined with Divine Doctor Jing, made Zhan Nanging’s heart burst with joy.

Just then, Lou Xinrou’s face popped into Zhan Nanging’s mind, and she began to feel conflicted.

But Qiao Jing was already pregnant now; they couldn't possibly ask her to abort the baby, especially since it was

three living beings...

They had to keep it a secret from Xinrou; otherwise, she would be heartbroken and cry endlessly if she found

out,

Zhan Nanging felt a sense of guilt towards Lou Xinrou, but she couldn't really choose one over the other.

She shook her head, trying to dismiss these thoughts for now and focused on Qiao Jing’s stomach, asking, “How

far along are you?”

Qiao Jing sat back on the hospital bed and tiredly rubbed her temples.

“A little over a month.”

Zhan Nanging bit her lip, unsure whether to ask her next question.

But after thinking it over, she decided that she had to probe on behalf of her brother. Zhan Nanging followed up,

asking, “So, are you planning on never telling my brother?”

After a night's rest, Qiao Jing had recovered quite a bit and had resumed her usual indifferent expression.

“This is something between your brother and me.”

Zhan Nanging could tell from Qiao Jing’s response that she didn’t want to share this matter with her brother.

But she also knew why she didn’t want to tell him. Qiao Jing wasn't interested in her brother.

It was definitely her brother shamelessly taking advantage when Qiao Jing was drunk or not feeling well,

climbing into bed and refusing to leave!

Seeing Zhan Nanging lost in thought, Qiao Jing prompted her.

“There are 49 more days.”

Zhan Nanging was taken aback, her look towards Qiao Jing filled with confusion. What about 49 days?

Qiao Jing, seeing Zhan Nanging’s confusion and realizing she didn’t understand, continued, “After 49 days, | will

leave the Zhan Family and won't cause any more conflicts between Zhan Qipei and his mother.”

Her words clearly indicated an intent to sever ties. Zhan Nanging also caught on that Qiao Jing planned to take

the children and leave the Zhan Family, keeping everyone in the dark.

But Qiao Jing didn’t want to cause further friction between her brother and their mother, counting down the days

until her departure, which made Zhan Nanging feel even more uncomfortable.

Qiao Jing didn’t elaborate further with Zhan Nanging and went to the bathroom.

By the tQiao Jing cout of the bathroom, night had already fallen outside.

Zhan Nanging glanced at her phone; it was already past six. Her brother would be getting off work soon.

However, the doctor had instructed that Qiao Jing needed to be hospitalized for observation for two or three days

to ensure that everything was okay before she could be discharged.

Zhan Nanging felt a headache coming on. Even if she didn’t mention Qiao Jing being hospitalized, her brother

would definitely suspect something if she didn’t return hfor two or three days.

Given her brother's nature, he would turn Beijing upside down if Qiao Jing didn’t chfor even one day

without telling him where she was.

Before Zhan Nanging could think of a solution, Qiao Jing’s phone on the nightstand rang.

Zhan Nanging saw at a glance that the caller was her brother, and her own nervousness spiked as her eyes

followed Qiao Jing’s phone, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly.

How would Qiao Jing deceive her brother? He was so smart, could she really fool him?

And what if her brother found out?

The moment Qiao Jing pressed the answer button, Zhan Nanging involuntarily held her breath.

“Sorry, I'm a little late getting off work today. Are you still at the research institute? I'll cpick you up.”

The deep voice of Zhan Qipei cthrough.

Zhan Nanging anxiously watched Qiao Jing, eager to hear how she'd explain.

Qiao Jing was not the least bit nervous as she casually made up an excuse.

“I'm going to a friend's house and won't be back tonight.”

Zhan Qipei’s expression instantly darkened.

Going to a friend's house? Not coming htonight? Staying over at a friend's place?

Which friend was worth Qiao Jing staying the night at her place? Was she expecting her husband to be left alone

in an empty house?

Zhan Qipei’s tone was tinged with jealousy.

“Which friend? Xu Mogian, Cao Feiyu, or Lu Zijin?”

Qiao Jing could hear the blatant jealousy in Zhan Qipei’s voice, the jealousy had spilled over again, and she

explained somewhat speechlessly.

“I'm going to the orphanage to find Xiuxiang. I'll be watching movies with the kids tonight, teaching them to

bake cookies, so | won't be coming back tonight.”

After getting a reasonable explanation, Zhan Qipei finally relaxed.

“Okay, I'll pick you up for work tomorrow.”

Zhan Nanging beside him was dumbfounded. When her brother, that icy mountain, said that, his tone actually

rose?

And why did her brother act like a child when he was jealous, even bringing up several names?

Qiao Jing hummed in acknowledgment and then hung up the phone. She could send a message to Zhan Qipei

tomorrow morning saying she’d take a taxi to the research institute.

Zhan Qipei wasn’t suspicious and drove home.

As he walked to his own room, there was a sudden clink under his foot.

“Hm?”

Zhan Qipei looked down at his right

foot, moved it aside, and discaypred

a NCA he had

Wasn't this an earring?

The earring seemed familiar, was it his mother’s? Had his mother been here today?

Zhan Qipei remained silent for two seconds, then looked around the house. His gaze paused when it landed on

the sofa.

Qiao Jing’s coat was still on the sofa. She had worn it out today, and if she had gone out again, she wouldn't

have left the coat there.

Instead, it looked more like she had left in a hurry and didn’t even have tto put on her coat.

Zhan Qipei decided to call Qiao Jing. As he flipped to the contacts page and saw that familiar number, he

suddenly realized.

Qiao Jing wouldn't tell him the truth, otherwise, she would have mentioned it on the phone just now.

Zhan Qipei switched to another contact and called Su Manhan.

The call wasn’t answered for a while, and Zhan Qipei’s heart gradually grew anxious.

At the last second before the automatic hang-up, Su Manhan answered.

Zhan Qipei immediately asked, “Mom, did you cto my place today?”

Su Manhan had anticipated Zhan Qipei asking her this. She often picked on Qiao Jing, and the other party must

harbor resentment towards her.

Qiao Jing would definitely seize this opportunity to complain to her son. She planned to brush it off casually.

“I'm now playing cards, can’t hear you, bad signal, it’s noisy...”

Zhan Qipei caught on to the hints in Su Manhan’s words and kept pressing.

“Did you chere today or not?”

Su Manhan didn't want to admit it.

She directly chose to feign ignorance, “I didn’t go.”

Zhan Qipei’s gaze was deep as he looked at the earring in his hand.

“Then why is your earring here at my place?”
