Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 135: Chapter 128: Qiao Jing Treats Zhan Qipei

How did he move so fast?

It’s not like she hadn’t seen men in their natural state before, but that was during surgery! Now this man was about to operate on her…

“I, I’m ready, you, you quickly…” Zhan Qipei said, his eyes hazy as he urged Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing’s eye twitched, and so did the corner of her mouth.

She didn’t mean it that way, okay?

It seemed she had no choice but to knock the man out first.

No sooner said than done.

After knocking Zhan Qipei out, Qiao Jing finally focused and began to treat the man.

The next morning.

Lan Yinyin waited at the entrance to Qiao Jing’s house, anticipating the drama that would unfold.

After a long wait, she finally saw Zhan Qipei emerge with a dark expression on his face.

He was in such a state, yet the girl did nothing to him last night. Was his charm really that low? Had he known, he would have taken advantage of the medicine to force himself on her.

Lan Yinyin looked at Zhan Qipei, whose face was so dark it seemed water might drip from it, and felt full of schadenfreude. In her view, the reason for Zhan Qipei’s ugly face was entirely because of what Qiao Jing did to him last night.

As for this speculation, Lan Yinyin had no doubts because it was Fifth Master’s medicine, with no cure in sight. The one under the effect must engage in actual relations, otherwise it was useless. So Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei must have done it.

Lan Yinyin was very curious about what had become of Qiao Jing now. Unless things had gone awry, Qiao Jing should be beaten black and blue, with broken arms and legs, unable to get out of bed, right?

As Lan Yinyin was pondering this, the door opened again, and Qiao Jing walked out holding two basins of vegetables.

Huh?

Lan Yinyin was dumbfounded. Qiao Jing’s face was clean and radiant, without any trace of abuse.

What happened? How could Qiao Jing be completely fine?

Based on her understanding of Zhan Qipei, he was quite repulsive toward women. This could be deduced from the fact that he even kicked her after taking the medicine yesterday.

As for why Zhan Qipei didn’t kick Qiao Jing afterwards? It was probably just because the drug had reached its climax. In any case, it certainly wasn’t because Zhan Qipei had taken a liking to Qiao Jing.

If that were the case, after what happened between Zhan Qipei and Qiao Jing last night, why was Zhan Qipei’s face still so dark when he came out?

If he really liked her, he should be happy.

“Buzz buzz buzz—” The sound of the phone vibrating rang out.

Lan Yinyin nearly fumbled her phone in fright when she saw the caller ID displaying “Fifth Master.”

“Fi-Fifth Master.”

“The mission has failed again,” Fifth Master stated, not as a question, but as a declaration.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yinyin’s complexion turned pale with fear coursing through her.

“There was a bit of an accident last night, but—I’ve thought of a way to redeem myself. Please give me one more chance, Fifth Master. With just a few people to support me, I can perfectly complete the mission.”

The line went silent.

Lan Yinyin resisted the urge to swallow, her heart pounding erratically as she dared not make a sound, waiting silently.

Moments later, Fifth Master’s voice came through the phone.

“Let’s hear it.”

Lan Yinyin let out a long breath, and quickly said, “I feel like Zhan Qipei still has doubts about my identity. I don’t know the details about how that girl saved him back then, so I didn’t dare to discuss it deeply with him, for fear of giving myself away if I talked too much. I’m thinking, since he has suspicions, why not just find a way to lure him to Autumn Water Village, then set up an assassination attempt, and have me come to his rescue, reenacting the scene. As long as everything goes smoothly, by that time it won’t matter if it was me or not.”

“Mm, this plan is pretty good. Let’s go with that.”

Only after receiving this response did Lan Yinyin truly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before she could fully relax, she heard Fifth Master’s voice coming from the phone again.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“If this plan fails again, then wait for your punishment.”

Fifth Master’s voice sounded as if he were chatting, but the coldness implicit in his words at that moment made Lan Yinyin’s hair stand on end, sending chills down her spine as if she was suddenly dragged into Hell.

The scene changes.

Just as Qiao Jing arrived at the entrance of the research institute, she was stopped by Zhan Nanqing.

“Is there something?” Qiao Jing asked indifferently.

“Yes, there’s a coffee shop across the street. Let’s talk,” Zhan Nanqing said, her attitude not as hostile as before, but the inherent pride of a rich heiress still gave off an air of superiority.

“Just say what you want to say. I don’t have the luxury of not working like you.”

Qiao Jing wasn’t trying to target Zhan Nanqing with her words; she was simply telling the truth.

“I was born into privilege which you can’t envy!” Zhan Nanqing held her head high, and although she said this, somewhere in her heart she felt a bit displeased, as if besides being Miss Zhan, she really had nothing else to offer.

“So Miss Zhan, what exactly do you want from me? There’s less than 20 days left for me and your brother. Plus, as you know, there’s just no possibility between your brother and me, so I really don’t understand what you’re hoping to achieve by coming to me?”

Zhan Nanqing didn’t beat around the bush, she got straight to the point, “I want to work with you to drive Lan Yinyin away from me.”

This statement surprised Qiao Jing. “Why are you targeting Lan Yinyin, and why involve me?”

“I want your help!” Zhan Nanqing said, lifting her chin.

Qiao Jing laughed and shook her head, “I’ve heard of ‘asking’ for help, but never ‘telling’ someone to help.”

Zhan Nanqing pursed her lips annoyedly and said, “Fine, I’ll ask. Please help me!”

“I won’t help.” After dropping these words, Qiao Jing turned and walked away.

“Hey!” Zhan Nanqing reached out and grabbed Qiao Jing’s sleeve, “You’re rejecting me too quickly! I’m not asking for your help for nothing. Whatever you want, I can give it to you!”

Qiao Jing arched her delicate eyebrow lightly, “What I want, you can’t afford.”

“Ha! I am Miss Zhan of the Zhan Family; what could you possibly want that I can’t afford?”

Seeing Zhan Nanqing’s extremely arrogant demeanor, Qiao Jing suddenly wanted to knock her down a peg or two, to let her know that even as Miss Zhan, there were things she couldn’t accomplish.

Qiao Jing handed a flowerpot to Zhan Nanqing, “Our research institute is currently working on a new variety of plant grafting, and the experiment is underway. You are Miss Zhan; can you complete this experiment?”

Zhan Nanqing’s arrogant demeanor instantly faded away.

It was true that the Zhan Family was wealthy and powerful, but the outcomes of scientific experiments could only be achieved through the relentless persistence of scientists.

“Are you trying to trouble me?”

“I told you, you can’t afford what I want, so let’s not talk about cooperation anymore. Don’t bother me again in the future if it’s not necessary.” After saying these words, Qiao Jing didn’t waste any more time with Zhan Nanqing and went straight into the research institute.

Zhan Nanqing clearly saw the security guard at the entrance nodding towards Qiao Jing, his attitude respectful.
