Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

: Chapter 135: Zhan Qipei Wants to Go Back to the Countryside with Qiao Jing

Xu Hongzu’s words were emphatic and commanding, leaving no room for anyone to interject!

At that, Zhu Cheng and Cheng Dachang were completely dumbfounded.

Xu Hongzu'’s remark was not just a simple matter of having good relations; he had even brought up the nation

and the people.

So what exactly was Qiao Jing’s identity?

As the two were shocked to their core, Zhan Qipei, having received the news, also arrived.

“Mr. Zhan,” Captain Zhao went forward to greet Zhan Qipei.

Captain Zhao was curious; what was Zhan Qipei doing here at this time? Could it be that he wanted to kick

someone while they were down and also wanted Qiao Jing to be brought here?

It was no wonder Captain Zhao guessed this, especially since Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei had ended up at the

police station on their wedding day.

“Are you here for Miss Qiao’s matter too?”

“Yes,” Zhan Qipei nodded once.

Captain Zhao: He knew it.

Just as worried, he furrowed his brows and wondered when these two powerhouses would ever give it a rest?

Zhu Cheng, Cheng Dachang, and Captain Zhao had similar speculations, mainly because they knew that Qiao

Jing was not favored by the Zhan Family and that Zhan Qipei didn’t like his country bride at all. That's why they

were causing such a ruckus; otherwise, they would have given Zhan’s sface.

Xu Hongzu thought the same.

However, the following words from Zhan Qipei were totally unexpected to them.

“Regarding Qiao Jing’s matter, | just want to—"

Zhan Qipei paused for a second and then said, “Zhu Tingting has been arrested, and she deserved it. If your two

families really need her to settle this for you, then | am settling this for her right now. Are you satisfied?”

This—

Everyone present did not expect Zhan Qipei to say such words, and seeing his serious expression, there was not

the slightest hint of joking.

Zhan Qipei had not finished speaking, “Furthermore, Zhan’s will firmly protect her! I, Zhan Qipei, will always

stand by her side and defend her!”

Zhu Cheng and Cheng Dachang felt more and more confused as they listened; how could this be so different

from what they had heard?

What they had heard was that over two months earlier, Zhan Qipei did not want to marry the country girl Qiao

Jing, so much so that he hadn't even attended the wedding. Not only that, but on the day of the wedding, the

bride was nearly run over by Zhan Qipei’s car.

Although it was later declared an accident, anyone with eyes and a brain could guess that Zhan Qipei had

intended to kill Qiao Jing.

That's why Zhu and Cheng families dared to brazenly approach Zhan’s and trouble Qiao Jing, mostly emboldened

by Zhan Qipei’s apparent disregard for Qiao Jing’s life and death.

And now, Zhan Qipei had personally arrived and made such a resolute declaration.

Of course, the most shocking were the sharp words just spoken by Xu Hongzu.

Once both families returned home, they immediately ordered an investigation into Qiao Jing’s identity, only to

find out that Qiao Jing worked at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute, but what role she played there remained

unknown.

Later, they also approached Gan Lanlan.

But since Gan Lanlan kept mum, they were at a loss.

In the end, under the pressure of Zhan Qipei and Xu Hongzu, Zhu Cheng and Cheng Dachang dared not continue

troubling Qiao Jing.

Even if avenging Zhu Tingting, they would have to wait until Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei were divorced before

taking action.

As for Zhu Tingting, Zhu and Cheng families were helpless and could only watch as Zhu Tingting remained in jail

for dozens of days before being released.

There were only 12 days left until the divorce.

That morning, Qiao Jing packed a suitcase and cout of her room.

As soon as Zhan Qipei saw this scene, his face immediately changed color.

“You must be mistaken about the date. It hasn't been 100 days yet,” he said.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing guessed that Zhan Qipei had misunderstood.

“You're overthinking it. Today is Grandpa Zhang's death anniversary, and I'm going back to offer him spaper

offerings,” she explained.

Hearing Qiao Jing say this, Zhan Qipei breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Qiao Jing couldn't wait to

leave him already.

“Then why are you taking a suitcase?”

“Oh, I haven't been back for a long time, so | plan to stay in the countryside for a couple of days,” she replied.

No sooner had Qiao Jing finished speaking than Zhan Qipei walked over and took the suitcase from her hand.

“I'll go with you,” he declared.

Qiao Jing’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Zhan Qipei had long known that Lan Yinyin was not the one who had

saved him back then, which meant he was still suspecting her of being the one who performed the surgery on

him.

This trip back hwasn't just to pay respect to Grandpa Zhang but also to visit the old fields and the old house

where she and her grandfather had once lived together.

It was the house where she had taken him to perform the surgery.

Although Zhan Qipei had been semi-conscious and his vision blurred from excessive blood loss at the time, she

feared that he might recall something if he went back with her.

Zhan Qipei narrowed his dark, unfathomable eyes, staring at Qiao Jing so intensely that it made her heart skip

several beats.

Of course, Qiao Jing only felt uneasy on the inside, but her face remained as unruffled as if Mount Tai were

crumbling before her.

Facing the man’s intensely virile presence, and his probing gaze that seemed determined to peel her open layer

by layer, Qiao Jing instinctively took a step back, then another.

Qiao Jing’s retreat wasn’t out of cowardice, but her instincts told her that if she didn’t step back, his towering

figure would crash into her unabashedly.

Eventually, Qiao Jing was backed into a corner.

“Hmm?” Zhan Qipei made a low, throaty sound that carried a subtly enticing lure, enough to make one’s ears

instantly ‘pregnant,’ “Why aren’t you speaking? Admitting it? The person who savedthat day—"

Zhan Qipei hadn't finished speaking when Qiao Jing interrupted him.

“I'm not afraid, it’s just—"

At this point, Qiao Jing paused, furrowing her brow. Two seconds later, she looked up, meeting Zhan Qipei’s gaze

squarely.

“Never mind. If you've got nothing better to do and want to go somewhere, go ahead. Autumn Water Village isn’t

mine alone to claim; if you want to come, | can’t stop you,” she said.

Qiao Jing said this out of concern that continuing to stop Zhan Qipei from going to Autumn Water Village would

deepen his suspicion.

Besides, most residential layouts in the rural areas of Autumn Water Village were quite similar; even if Zhan

Qipei went to her house, he wouldn't be able to prove he had been there before.
