Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 575: Chapter 564: Zhan Qipei’s Reluctance to Part with Qiao Jing

At dusk, Qiao Jing put on her mask after dinner, ready to visit a patient at their home.

She had not yet reached the foyer when Zhan Qipei called out to her.

"Where are you going? I'll cwith you."

Zhan Qipei, seeing Qiao Jing getting ready to leave, immediately stood up and approached her, his expression

tense:

He was not at all comfortable letting Qiao Jing go out alone at night, especially since the woman was still injured.

In case she encountered trouble outside, Qiao Jing’s shoulder hadn't fully healed, and her movements wouldn't

be as convenient.

As her husband, he needed to accompany her.

Qiao Jing rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless, and glanced sideways at the clock on the wall.

"I'm going to see a patient, and you want to ctoo?"

If they left hnow, the timing would be just right, but if she chatted with Zhan Qipei here for half a day, it

would definitely delay her.

Not wanting to deal with Zhan Qipei, she opened the door.

After hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Zhan Qipei furrowed his brows deeply as they seemed to loom like mountains

through the mist.

"I'll take you there."

He needed to see for himself that Qiao Jing arrived safely before he could be at ease.

The corners of Qiao Jing’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she gave Zhan Qipei an annoyed glance.

"Are you treatinglike a child? Do you have to followwherever | go? Besides, I've already called a taxi."

She was just slightly injured, but Zhan Qipei always made a big deal out of it every time.

Although she understood that Zhan Qipei was worried about her, having him follow her every tshe went out

was just too much.

However, upon reflection...

It seemed that even when Zhan Qipei didn’t have anything particular to do, he still wanted to accompany her

whenever she went out.

Zhan Qipei pursed his thin lips, his dark eyes flickering with a tinge of possessiveness filled with concern.

"I'm worried about you."

Qiao Jing rubbed her temples helplessly and walked to the staircase.

"I'm just going to treat someone, not doing anything dangerous. You go about your business."

After dropping that statement, she raised her hand and was about to shut the front door completely when Zhan

Qipei pushed against it, showing no intention of forcing it open.

Before Qiao Jing could ponder over his actions, his deep magnetic voice cthrough.

"Cback early."

After saying this, Zhan Qipei immediately closed the door, leaving no chance for her to respond.

Qiao Jing stood stunned for a moment, and by the tshe cto her senses, the door had already closed.

Staring at the tightly shut door in front of her, she could still seemingly hear his recent words, "Cback early."

Although she hadn't seen Zhan Qipei’s expression just now, the handsface that matched his voice

automatically appeared in her mind.

Behind the door, Zhan Qipei’s face was likely furrowed, his dark eyes steady, his thin lips tightly pressed.

It gave her the feeling that Zhan Qipei was like an abandoned stray dog—what was going on with that?

Qiao Jing shook her head and thought no further, heading to the residence of the patient.

Meanwhile, inside Purple Garden,

Su Manhan and others had just finished dinner and were each doing their own thing.

Su Manhan was sitting on the sofa, sending a message to Qiao Jing.

"Qiao Jing, have you had dinner yet? Did Qipei make you the tonic | brought over the other day?"

At that moment, Qiao Jing was in a taxi, her phone ringing. She took it out to look.

"I've eaten, and it was made forto drink, Madam Zhan, you don’t have to worry."

Su Manhan displayed three "good" emojis.

"That's great, that’s great. Oh, by the way, what are you doing right now? Are you busy?"

"If you're not busy, how about | pick you up for sshopping? It's been a long tsince we went shopping

together."

Qiao Jing glanced at the scenery outside the car and slightly frowned.

"I'm sorry, Madam Zhan, I'm a bit tied up with something. I'll accompany you shopping another time."

She had just replied when she received a message from Zhan Nanging.

"Qiao Jing, how is your injury? | saw you were upset this morning because | was slacking off, so | didn’t dare to

ask you."

Qiao Jing’s pale fingers typed rapidly on her phone keyboard.

"It's nothing serious."

No sooner had she replied to Zhan Nanqing than Su Manhan sent another message.

Qiao Jing swiftly switched to Su Manhan’s chat window and saw the new message.

"What are you busy with? You'd better not tellyou're busy with housework at home. If Qipei dares to let you

do housework, I'm driving over right now to hit him!"

Upon reading this message, a helpless smile appeared on Qiao Jing’s face.

"Madam Zhan, you've misunderstood; | don’t have to do any housework. I'm not at hright now; | need to go

to the hospital to treat a patient."

After reading this message, Su Manhan finally remembered that Qiao Jing also had another identity as a doctor

at the hospital.

"| see, that’s okay then. But why do you have to go to the hospital late at night?"

"Doesn't the research institute close at four in the afternoon? Aren't there other specialists at the hospital? Why

do they need a general doctor like you??"

Qiao Jing pursed her red lips and thought to herself:

Because she had been busy at the research institute in the morning and because she was Professor Qiao’s

daughter, she sometimes stayed late in the afternoon to work a bit longer.

As for the latter question, she wasn’t actually going to the hospital to treat patients.

She didn’t forget to reply to Su Manhan, making up an excuse.

"The patient's illness happens to be my specialty, and the other specialists are busy. I'm free, so I'm heading

over."

Su Manhan finally gave up the idea of asking Qiao Jing to go shopping and was about to put away her phone

when she saw Zhan Yao looking solemn, hurrying outside.

She furrowed her brows and called him with a displeased tone.

"Where are you going this late at night? You never used to go out at night; don’t tellyou have slittle

affair outside!"

Zhan Yao immediately stopped, looking helplessly at Su Manhan.

"Don’t overthink it, I'm just going to Director Chen's house."

After hearing Zhan Yao’s words, Su Manhan stared blankly for a moment.

"Director Chen? Wasn't his father

Zhan Yao hesitated for a while but eventually did not tell the truth.

"Old Chen himself calledover, said he wanted to asksomething. I'll also take the opportunity to visit Old

Old Chen had told him because he remembered Qipei’s infertility issues, suggesting he might try to request

Divine Doctor Jing for treatment.

Su Manhan snorted, pulled out her phone, and called Director Chen.

"Go ahead, call. If you mess around, see if | don’t break your legs."

Director Chen quickly answered the call and explained the situation, then Su Manhan let Zhan Yao leave.

However... something seemed too coincidental to her.

Because Qiao Jing also happened to be going out to treat a patient at that time, and Zhan Yao happened to be

visiting Director Chen's sick father at the stime.

Could the patient Qiao Jing was seeing be Director Chen's father?
