Chapter 384: Chapter 373: Insisting on a Kiss Chapter 384: Chapter 373: Insisting on a Kiss Qiao Jing endured for
a full minute but could take it no longer. However, her mouth was now gagged, and she simply couldn't find the
opportunity to curse at this despicable man.
Just as she was about to push him away, it seemed he anticipated her intention and trapped her in his embrace
with his arms.
She struggled a bit only to find the man’s strength was immense, making it impossible for her to break free!
What was going on? Hadn't Zhan Qipei just been acting as if he were at death’s door?
How had his strength becso great all of a sudden?
Since she couldn't break free, out of desperation, she bit him—not too lightly but not too harshly either.
Wasn't it agreed to be just a kiss?
Why did this kiss seem never-ending?!
Zhan Qipei’s movements paused momentarily, but he didn’t pull back, instead locking eyes with the woman and
continuing to tease her earlobe with the pad of his finger.
Qiao Jing’s eyes trembled, and she tried to push him away again.
But as she attempted to do so, a pair of hands snaked under the hem of her clothes.
At that moment, she was so startled her hairs stood on end.
This was not over yet!
Next, the man leaned closer to her ear and slowly uttered a sentence.
After hearing what the man said, Qiao Jing slightly widened her eyes, her fair face flushing a faint red as she
glared at him.
The next morning.
When Qiao Jing woke up, she felt sore all over her body. She propped herself up on the edge of the bed and
stood.
The space beside her was empty. She paid it no mind and massaged the sore areas of her body.
She thought back to how the man had hugged her, nibbling and biting the night before, and couldn't help the
twitch in her temple. Zhan Qipei had been like a big wolf dog, and the soreness of her body was all thanks to
him.
After resting for a few minutes, Qiao Jing slipped on her shoes and went into the bathroom. Just about to begin
her morning routine, she caught sight of herself in the mirror.
She stared at her face in the mirror, taken aback. The person’s lips were somewhat swollen, and then there were
these marks on her neck...
This man, give him an inch and he takes a mile.
After a while, she touched her waist and also felt soreness, sareas even mildly swollen.
It was one thing for her neck to be bullied, but for him to not even spare her waist...
The more she thought about it, the more speechless she became.
A few minutes later, after washing up simply, she walked out of the room.
As soon as she stepped out, she met the man coming out of the kitchen.
Zhan Qipei was carefully placing a pot of seafood porridge on the table.

“Good morning, chave breakfast.”
After kissing his wife yesterday, he obediently drank his fever medicine, and his fever had subsided by now.
Of course, the most important thing was that he had gotten a taste for it yesterday.
When Qiao Jing saw Zhan Qipei’s mouth practically curling up to the skies, she was infuriated beyond belief.
Had Zhan Qipei been a dog in his last life?!
It was bad enough he took advantage of her, but he had to nibble and bite her, too.
While eating the porridge, Qiao Jing didn’t speak a word, quietly sipping the congee from her bowl.
Zhan Qipei didn’t mind her silence and considerately cleaned up the bowls and utensils for her, then supported
her as she sat down on the couch.
“Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Letrub it for you. Also, is there anything you'd like for lunch?”
Qiao Jing glanced at the man, said nothing, and set her gaze on a medical book.
After being tormented all night, she had no strength to go to work now.
Zhan Qipei also took the morning off, staying close to Qiao Jing’s side without taking a step away.
When it was almost noon, and he was about to get up to cook, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Qiao Jing put down the medical book she was holding, intending to open the door, but the man was quicker.
Upon opening the door, Su Manhan and Zhan Nanging were standing outside, each carrying several bags.
With a concerned look on her face, Su Manhan asked,
“Qipei, how is Qiao Jing’s health? Has she caught a cold?”
As she spoke, she craned her neck to peek inside.
Seeing Qiao Jing sitting on the sofa, she didn’t wait for Zhan Qipei to answer and walked straight in.
Just as she was about to head over to Qiao Jing, she remembered the items she was holding and had to retract
her steps, heading towards the dining table instead.
Zhan Nanging glanced at Zhan Qipei, who was being neglected to one side, and felt that she and her brother
were somewhat in the sboat.
She had only heard of the saying, “marry a wife and forget your mother.”
Yet her brother had not done so, instead, it was her mother who, after getting a daughter-in-law, forgot about her
own children.
Su Manhan took out everything from the bag one by one and placed them on the dining table.
“I timed my arrival perfectly, you guys definitely haven't eaten yet,” she said.
She turned her head to look at Zhan Nanging and urged her.
“Nanging, cover quick, take out the items and get ready, let's eat together,” she said.
Zhan Nanging “Oh”ed and went to the dining table, placing all the items she was holding down.
Su Manhan then opened all the lids, and a waft of aroma escaped from the lunch boxes.
After dealing with the lunch boxes, she immediately went to Qiao Jing’s side without stopping.
“Qiao Jing, you haven't caught a cold, have you? Cand drink sporridge | specially went to buy. You
overexerted yourself last night; for today, you should drink something light,” she said.
Upon hearing the phrase “overexerted yourself,” Qiao Jing’s expressionless face showed a slight crack, and her
ears turned a bit red.
She knew that Su Manhan was talking about her falling into the water, but her mind couldnt stop conjuring up
the exertions of last night.
But she quickly cto her senses and responded to the other.
“Thank you,” she said.
Zhan Qipei, after catching the sight of Qiao Jing’s slightly red ears, was very pleased and sat down next to Qiao
Jing.
Upon seeing the lunch boxes on the table, Qiao Jing’s face showed a trace of surprise.
She knew the place, Zhouhuan Restaurant; it was the busiest porridge shop in the entire capital.
Not only was their porridge delicious,
but it was also extremely nutritious,
and all the ingrediehts(eré ery

Speaking of which, the owner of this shop is an old acquaintance of hers...
She raised her eyes to look at Su Manhan, and something soft inside her collapsed a little.
“You've gone to trouble,” she said.
Su Manhan waved her hand.

“There's no trouble at all. Preparing things for you, | would never find it bothersome,” she said.
During the meal, Zhan Qipei moved all the meat from his bowl to Qiao Jing’s bowl.
He would eat the plain porridge while all the nutritious parts should be eaten by Qiao Jing.
His wife was pregnant now and needed more nutrition.
After lunch, Qiao Jing was pulled to sit on the sofa by Su Manhan, and Zhan Nanging also followed over.
Zhan Qipei sat down next to Qiao Jing without saying anything, forcing Su Manhan and Zhan Nanging to sit on
the single sofas instead.
Su Manhan glanced at her son, not wanting to deal with him, and turned her head to Zhan Nanging.
“Nanging, it's almost tfor the academic conference, isn’t it? Your attending Professor Qiao’s hosted
conference is entirely a credit to the Zhan Family!
Actually, I'm still very curious about what kind of person she is, so capable that she can research such results
like hybrid corn to benefit mankind,” she said.
Zhan Qipei’s eyes were filled with pride as he looked at Qiao Jing by his side.
His wife is indeed amazing!
Hearing Su Manhan’s words, Zhan Nanging quietly glanced at Qiao Jing.
The Professor Qiao her mother was talking about was sitting right in front of them...
Su Manhan noticed Zhan Nanging’s gaze towards Qiao Jing and suddenly remembered the things Mrs. Chen had
said while shopping last time; she was a bit worried and sighed.
“Ah, Nanqging, can you find a way to take Qiao Jing with you? After all, she’s your sister-in-law. You can’t just
attend yourself and neglect her at home.
Letting Qiao Jing participate in the academic conference will benefit her in sway,” she said.
She also wanted Qiao Jing to get out
more because her daughter-in-law
worked at Professox(fiabs Research
ARtRuS, Attending the
conference might allow her to learn
more about academic matters. The

She could do nothing about agriculture, and even with the Zhan Family's connections, she was no help, so she
had to place her hopes on Zhan Nanging.
Zhan Nanging showed an awkward smile and chuckled dryly.
“Mom, there's no need forto take Qiao Jing there; she can go on her own,” she said.
If Qiao Jing doesn’t attend, who will host the conference?
Su Manhan let out a puzzled “Ah” and looked at Qiao Jing, asking out loud.
