Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 783: Chapter 771 Let’s Not Sleep in Separate Rooms Anymore

Seeing the three leave one after another, Zhan Nanqing was somewhat suspicious.

She glanced at Zhan Qipei and said puzzledly, "Brother, what are grandpa and mom and dad up to? Why does it look like they’re being so sneaky?"

Qiao Jing could tell at a glance that the three must have gone to plot something, and combining this with the topic they had just discussed, she guessed it had something to do with the wedding.

Zhan Qipei’s guess was the same as Qiao Jing’s, but he was busy peeling shrimp for Qiao Jing, so he was too lazy to elaborate and casually replied, "Want to know? If you want to know, go ask yourself."

Driven by curiosity, Zhan Nanqing still stood up from the dining table and stealthily followed the three who had just left.

Meanwhile, in the living room.

Zhan Yuanshan, Zhan Yao, and Su Manhan were sitting on the sofa.

After taking a sip of tea from his teacup, Zhan Yuanshan spoke first, "I’ve called you two out here because I have an idea I want to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Manhan quickly reacted, "Dad, are you talking about Qiao Jing and Qipei’s wedding?"

Zhan Yuanshan nodded and spoke unhurriedly, "Jing Girl has always been very decisive and ambitious, and you saw her attitude just now. She’s not very enthusiastic about this wedding."

"To prevent any changes, I think we should spread the news that Jing Girl and Qipei are going to hold a wedding, and set the matter in stone. What do you think?"

"I agree!"

Su Manhan immediately responded, and at the same time, she suggested, "If we’re going to spread the news, we could use Zhan Corporation’s official Weibo account. Let the official account announce it."

Every message posted on Zhan Corporation’s official Weibo account is closely watched by the outside world, undoubtedly making it the best and most convenient channel for publicity.

Zhan Yao agreed, "That’s actually a good idea."

Zhan Yuanshan also thought the suggestion was feasible, so he immediately took out his phone and made a call to have the news of Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei’s impending wedding announced on Weibo.

Zhan Nanqing hid to the side, listening in on their conversation without missing a single word.

After Zhan Yuanshan finished the call and put away his phone, she walked over and sat down on the sofa with an expression of someone who had seen through everything.

"So you snuck out here just to discuss this."

Su Manhan glared at Zhan Nanqing, "How do you speak to your elders? What do you mean ’snuck out’? Is that how you talk about your elders?"

"But that’s the truth," Zhan Nanqing pouted her lips.

The way the three of them were acting so covertly, even she could tell, not to mention Qiao Jing and her brother.

It was just that Qiao Jing and her brother weren’t as gossipy as she was.

As mother and daughter were talking, Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei finished eating and came out of the dining room.

As soon as Qiao Jing arrived, Su Manhan stopped paying attention to Zhan Nanqing. Once Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei were seated, she handed over the fruit plate in front of her.

"Qiao Jing, here, have some fruit. These fruits are all planted in our own estate, without any pesticides, fresh and healthy."

Qiao Jing picked up a fork, took a piece of apple, and after eating, nodded, "Juicy and sweet. It’s pretty good."

Looking at Qiao Jing’s slightly bulging belly, Su Manhan said with concern, "Then eat more. You’ve got three little mouths to feed in there now; you’ve got to keep up with the nutrition."

Thanks to Su Manhan’s zealous attention, Qiao Jing, who had just finished her meal, ate another third of the fruit plate.

It has to be said, ever since getting pregnant, her appetite had indeed increased quite a bit!

Seeing that it was already nine fifty, Zhan Qipei took Qiao Jing’s hand and raised an eyebrow, "It’s getting late. Let’s go back to our room and rest."

After saying that, he pulled Qiao Jing up from the sofa.

Qiao Jing’s footsteps paused, and her delicately drawn brows arched slightly as she looked at Zhan Qipei and said, "I’ve just finished eating fruit and am still full. I don’t feel like sleeping yet."

After that, she added, "Also, have you forgotten? We don’t sleep in the same room."

Except for special circumstances, she and Zhan Qipei usually slept separately...

"I haven’t forgotten, but I’m injured and haven’t fully recovered yet. Shouldn’t you take care of me?"

When he said this, Zhan Qipei’s tone carried a hint of coquettishness.

Upon hearing him say this, Qiao Jing felt somewhat speechless.

This man wasn’t saying that when he had been pestering her to do ’that.’

Back then, he had confidently claimed he was fine, even spouting that famous line - ’To die under the peony, one would be a romantic ghost.’

And now?

He started using his injury to act pitiful in front of her again!

Seeing Zhan Qipei behaving like this, Zhan Yuanshan, Zhan Yao, Su Manhan, and Zhan Nanqing, who were sitting on the couch, all looked away as if they couldn’t bear to watch.

However, seeing the two of them getting along so harmoniously, clearly much closer than before, they also felt happy.

Zhan Nanqing thought about it and felt it necessary to contribute to her brother and Qiao Jing’s relationship.

So, she tried to persuade her by saying, "Qiao Jing, just go with my brother. For the sake of his injury not being completely healed, fulfill his little wish."

"Besides, if something suddenly goes wrong with his wound while he’s sleeping, you can be there to handle it promptly, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei immediately gave Zhan Nanqing an approving glance.

That’s his dear sister, no doubt!

But Qiao Jing wasn’t fooled. She pursed her crimson lips and said, "I’ve checked, and his wound is healing fine. There won’t be any problems."

His so-called unhealed wound and needing care, it all boiled down to the man just wanting to sleep with her!

Such an obvious thing, and of course, others could see it too.

For the sake of her son’s happiness, Su Manhan spoke out with a sense of duty, "Qiao Jing, go sleep with Qipei. You’re pregnant and must be exhausted; you should rest earlier."

"Moreover, your relationship has already been formally confirmed. From now on, you should no longer sleep separately. What kind of couple sleeps apart?"

"Exactly, there’s no such rule. Let’s go, let’s go, we’re off to sleep."

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhan Qipei, while speaking, dragged Qiao Jing towards the bedroom.

With Su Manhan having said so much and Zhan Yuanshan and the others watching, Qiao Jing found it difficult to refuse any longer, and in the end, she entered the room with Zhan Qipei.

Once the two had left, Zhan Yuanshan also stood up from the couch and gestured with his hands, "Alright, that’s enough. I’m off to sleep, you all should go back to your rooms and rest too."

Having said that, he turned and left.

Subsequently, Su Manhan, Zhan Yao, and Zhan Nanqing also went back to their own rooms.

Meanwhile, Qiao Jing, who had returned to the room first, was already leaning against the bed.

Zhan Qipei sat down close to her, holding her hand, and said, "I should take a shower." noveldrama

Qiao Jing knew exactly what he meant and glanced at him with a wry expression, "If you want to shower, then go. Why tell me? You don’t need to inform me about such things."
