Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 786: Chapter 774 Zhan Qipei’s Tactics Against Love Rivals

Hearing Qiao Jing say that Zhan Qipei was right beside her and had heard their conversation, Ni Yue was completely stunned.

At that moment, she felt the awkwardness and guilt of being caught red-handed talking bad about someone behind their back, or as if she was trying to steal someone else’s man!

A few seconds later, Ni Yue snapped back to reality and defensively said, "So he heard, big deal. I stand by what I said. I’m not scared at all. Even if Zhan Qipei was right in front of me, I’d say the same thing!"

"Besides, it’s not like I’m making stuff up. Everything I said came from the heart. If Zhan Qipei is unhappy about it, he’s free to leave. If he keeps pestering you, I’d find it bothersome too!"

Listening to Ni Yue’s self-assured words, Qiao Jing could imagine her talking with her neck stuck out.

At this thought, Qiao Jing couldn’t help but snicker.

Ni Yue, with her sharp ears, immediately heard Qiao Jing’s muffled laughter through the phone.

She huffed, her tone a bit resentful, "Xiao Jingjing, you’re laughing, aren’t you? You’ve learned to be bad, even starting to deceive me. They say ’you are the company you keep,’ it must be that Zhan Qipei who has led you astray!"

"Humph, just wait until I find an opportunity to settle the score with him!"

Qiao Jing pursed her lips, struggling to contain her laughter as she spoke, "Alright, alright, calm down. It’s late at night; if you get too worked up, you might have trouble sleeping."

Getting too excited before bed could easily lead to insomnia!

After hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Ni Yue glanced at the time.

After looking, she exclaimed, "Ah! If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed it’s almost eleven!"

Qiao Jing raised an eyebrow playfully and joked, "Right, it’s pretty late, so don’t get all fired up. Be careful not to disturb the neighbors and get complaints for noise nuisance."

"I’m not scared of that. Let them complain if they want!"

Ni Yue retorted defiantly, then quickly changed the subject, "But, you’re pregnant with babies, and it’s triplets at that. You need to get enough sleep. Go and rest now, I won’t disturb you anymore. We can talk more about the wedding another time."

Having said that, Ni Yue considerately hung up the phone.

Although she still had a lot to say, for the sake of Qiao Jing’s and her triplets’ health, she had to hold back her words for the time being!

Qiao Jing had barely a chance to respond with an "okay" when the sound of the call ending beeped in her ear.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth, her face a mix of amusement and resignation.

Because phone calls had been coming one after the other all evening, Qiao Jing wasn’t sure if there would be another, so she kept her phone handy and took another look at Weibo.

With this glance, she found that in such a short time, the post by Zhan Corporation’s official account had broken new historical highs in views, shares, and comments, setting unprecedented high numbers!

It had to be said, Zhan’s official Weibo’s influence was indeed powerful!

As Qiao Jing browsed through the comments with interest, her phone rang once again.

The screen switched to the incoming call display, flickering with the name "Cao Feiyu."

Qiao Jing felt that her hand was nearly going numb from answering calls all night.

As soon as the call connected, before Qiao Jing could say a word, Cao Feiyu spoke with a hint of complaint, "Who were you on the phone with just now, talking for so long? I’ve been trying to call you, and it kept saying you were on another call."

He had started to call Qiao Jing half an hour ago but couldn’t get through. He had almost given up.

Luckily, after he went to have a glass of water and came back, he tried once more, and finally got through!

Having heard Cao Feiyu’s words, Qiao Jing slightly raised her eyebrows, thinking that she had received calls from quite a few people just now, including Lin Xiuxiang, Xu Moqian, Lu Zijin, and also Ni Yue. Which one should she talk about? noveldrama

After thinking it over, she felt that explaining would be too troublesome, so she simply chose not to mention any and knowingly asked, "Is there something you need?"

Actually, without asking she also knew Cao Feiyu must have been calling about the wedding.

As expected, when Cao Feiyu spoke again, he cut directly to the chase.

"I just wanted to ask about the news online that you are going to have a wedding with Zhan Qipei. Is it true?"

When Qiao Jing heard this question, she couldn’t help but respond with a somewhat amused retort, "Do you think that a message released by Zhan Corporation’s official account could be false?"

Although she didn’t directly answer, the reply was quite obvious.

Upon hearing that, Cao Feiyu froze for several seconds, then started to get agitated and blurted out, "What’s going on? Why are you suddenly holding a wedding with Zhan Qipei? Are you really going to be together with him?"

"Yes, I..."

"I get it, you’re being coerced, aren’t you?"

Before Qiao Jing could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Cao Feiyu.

He continued on his own, saying, "You only mentioned giving Zhan Qipei a chance before, to try being together. It wasn’t about actually being with him, but now you’re suddenly announcing a wedding. It’s clear there’s something fishy going on."

"So, Zhan Qipei must have used some method to coerce you!"

Qiao Jing’s mouth twitched at Cao Feiyu’s reasoning.

She felt it would be better to clarify things to avoid letting him indulge in wild imaginings that could lead him astray!

With that in mind, Qiao Jing casually said to Cao Feiyu on the other end of the phone, "You’re overthinking it. There’s no coercion here; I have truly decided to officially be with Zhan Qipei now."

When Cao Feiyu heard Qiao Jing say this, he was struck as if by lightning.

Unwilling to accept it, he shook his head in disbelief and asked resentfully, "Why? Why choose him?"

"Even though I’m not as wealthy as Zhan Qipei, in every other aspect I am not the slightest bit lesser than him. I’m also excellent, you know!"

"Just give me a chance, and I promise to treat you better than he ever could, I’ll make you the happiest woman in the world without ever letting you suffer the slightest grievance!"

Hearing these words, Qiao Jing once again felt the exasperation building.

As she was thinking about how to respond to Cao Feiyu, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Zhan Qipei walked out, having just finished showering, only wrapped in a white towel, his perfect and robust physique fully exposed.

Qiao Jing’s gaze was immediately drawn to him, her eyes unconsciously lingering on his body.

Zhan Qipei walked over to the bedside, slightly lowered his head, looked down into Qiao Jing’s eyes with his own, his thin lips slightly parting as he calmly asked, "Why are you still on the phone so late?"

While he was taking a shower in the bathroom, he had continuously heard someone calling Qiao Jing.

Even though he didn’t know what was said, he could guess that whoever was calling Qiao Jing at this time must be one of his love rivals!

Moreover, whatever those people were saying was definitely something he didn’t want to hear!

Just as Qiao Jing was about to speak, Zhan Qipei suddenly leaned close to her, deliberately raising his voice into the phone and said, "Stop calling, it’s time to sleep now. Don’t forget we have something very important to do."
