Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 384 - 373 Insisting on a Kiss

Chapter 384: Chapter 373: Insisting on a Kiss Chapter 384 -373: Insisting on a Kiss Qiao Jing endured for a full minute but could take it no longer. However, her mouth was now gagged, and she simply couldn’t find the opportunity to curse at this despicable man.

Just as she was about to push him away, it seemed he anticipated her intention and trapped her in his embrace with his arms.

She struggled a bit only to find the man’s strength was immense, making it impossible for her to break free!

What was going on? Hadn’t Zhan Qipei just been acting as if he were at death’s door?

How had his strength become so great all of a sudden?

Since she couldn’t break free, out of desperation, she bit him—not too lightly but not too harshly either.

Wasn’t it agreed to be just a kiss?

Why did this kiss seem never-ending?!

Zhan Qipei’s movements paused momentarily, but he didn’t pull back, instead locking eyes with the woman and continuing to tease her earlobe with the pad of his finger.

Qiao Jing’s eyes trembled, and she tried to push him away again.

But as she attempted to do so, a pair of hands snaked under the hem of her clothes.

At that moment, she was so startled her hairs stood on end.

This was not over yet!

Next, the man leaned closer to her ear and slowly uttered a sentence.

After hearing what the man said, Qiao Jing slightly widened her eyes, her fair face flushing a faint red as she glared at him.

——

The next morning.

When Qiao Jing woke up, she felt sore all over her body. She propped herself up on the edge of the bed and stood.

The space beside her was empty. She paid it no mind and massaged the sore areas of her body.

She thought back to how the man had hugged her, nibbling and biting the night before, and couldn’t help the twitch in her temple. Zhan Qipei had been like a big wolf dog, and the soreness of her body was all thanks to him.

After resting for a few minutes, Qiao Jing slipped on her shoes and went into the bathroom. Just about to begin her morning routine, she caught sight of herself in the mirror.

She stared at her face in the mirror, taken aback. The person’s lips were somewhat swollen, and then there were these marks on her neck…

This man, give him an inch and he takes a mile.

After a while, she touched her waist and also felt soreness, some areas even mildly swollen.

It was one thing for her neck to be bullied, but for him to not even spare her waist…

The more she thought about it, the more speechless she became.

A few minutes later, after washing up simply, she walked out of the room.

As soon as she stepped out, she met the man coming out of the kitchen.

Zhan Qipei was carefully placing a pot of seafood porridge on the table.

“Good morning, come have breakfast.”

After kissing his wife yesterday, he obediently drank his fever medicine, and his fever had subsided by now.

Of course, the most important thing was that he had gotten a taste for it yesterday.

When Qiao Jing saw Zhan Qipei’s mouth practically curling up to the skies, she was infuriated beyond belief.

Had Zhan Qipei been a dog in his last life?!

It was bad enough he took advantage of her, but he had to nibble and bite her, too.

While eating the porridge, Qiao Jing didn’t speak a word, quietly sipping the congee from her bowl.

Zhan Qipei didn’t mind her silence and considerately cleaned up the bowls and utensils for her, then supported her as she sat down on the couch.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Let me rub it for you. Also, is there anything you’d like for lunch?”

Qiao Jing glanced at the man, said nothing, and set her gaze on a medical book.

After being tormented all night, she had no strength to go to work now.

Zhan Qipei also took the morning off, staying close to Qiao Jing’s side without taking a step away.

When it was almost noon, and he was about to get up to cook, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Qiao Jing put down the medical book she was holding, intending to open the door, but the man was quicker.

Upon opening the door, Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing were standing outside, each carrying several bags.

With a concerned look on her face, Su Manhan asked,

“Qipei, how is Qiao Jing’s health? Has she caught a cold?”

As she spoke, she craned her neck to peek inside.

Seeing Qiao Jing sitting on the sofa, she didn’t wait for Zhan Qipei to answer and walked straight in.

Just as she was about to head over to Qiao Jing, she remembered the items she was holding and had to retract her steps, heading towards the dining table instead.

Zhan Nanqing glanced at Zhan Qipei, who was being neglected to one side, and felt that she and her brother were somewhat in the same boat.

She had only heard of the saying, “marry a wife and forget your mother.”

Yet her brother had not done so, instead, it was her mother who, after getting a daughter-in-law, forgot about her own children.

Su Manhan took out everything from the bag one by one and placed them on the dining table.

“I timed my arrival perfectly, you guys definitely haven’t eaten yet,” she said.

She turned her head to look at Zhan Nanqing and urged her.

“Nanqing, come over quick, take out the items and get ready, let’s eat together,” she said.

Zhan Nanqing “Oh”ed and went to the dining table, placing all the items she was holding down.

Su Manhan then opened all the lids, and a waft of aroma escaped from the lunch boxes.

After dealing with the lunch boxes, she immediately went to Qiao Jing’s side without stopping.

“Qiao Jing, you haven’t caught a cold, have you? Come and drink some porridge I specially went to buy. You overexerted yourself last night; for today, you should drink something light,” she said.

Upon hearing the phrase “overexerted yourself,” Qiao Jing’s expressionless face showed a slight crack, and her ears turned a bit red.

She knew that Su Manhan was talking about her falling into the water, but her mind couldn’t stop conjuring up the exertions of last night.

But she quickly came to her senses and responded to the other.

“Thank you,” she said.

Zhan Qipei, after catching the sight of Qiao Jing’s slightly red ears, was very pleased and sat down next to Qiao Jing.

Upon seeing the lunch boxes on the table, Qiao Jing’s face showed a trace of surprise.

She knew the place, Zhouhuan Restaurant; it was the busiest porridge shop in the entire capital.

Not only was their porridge delicious, but it was also extremely nutritious, and all the ingredients were very fresh, making it very popular among the upper-class citizens of the capital.

Every morning, there would be many people queuing up; it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the queue for this porridge shop stretched from the front of the shop to the end of the street, and even if you wanted to make a reservation, it was quite difficult to secure one.

Speaking of which, the owner of this shop is an old acquaintance of hers…

She raised her eyes to look at Su Manhan, and something soft inside her collapsed a little.

“You’ve gone to trouble,” she said.

Su Manhan waved her hand.

“There’s no trouble at all. Preparing things for you, I would never find it bothersome,” she said.

During the meal, Zhan Qipei moved all the meat from his bowl to Qiao Jing’s bowl.

He would eat the plain porridge while all the nutritious parts should be eaten by Qiao Jing.

His wife was pregnant now and needed more nutrition.

After lunch, Qiao Jing was pulled to sit on the sofa by Su Manhan, and Zhan Nanqing also followed over.

Zhan Qipei sat down next to Qiao Jing without saying anything, forcing Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing to sit on the single sofas instead.

Su Manhan glanced at her son, not wanting to deal with him, and turned her head to Zhan Nanqing.

“Nanqing, it’s almost time for the academic conference, isn’t it? Your attending Professor Qiao’s hosted conference is entirely a credit to the Zhan Family!

Actually, I’m still very curious about what kind of person she is, so capable that she can research such results like hybrid corn to benefit mankind,” she said.

Zhan Qipei’s eyes were filled with pride as he looked at Qiao Jing by his side.

His wife is indeed amazing!

Hearing Su Manhan’s words, Zhan Nanqing quietly glanced at Qiao Jing.

The Professor Qiao her mother was talking about was sitting right in front of them…

Su Manhan noticed Zhan Nanqing’s gaze towards Qiao Jing and suddenly remembered the things Mrs. Chen had said while shopping last time; she was a bit worried and sighed.

“Ah, Nanqing, can you find a way to take Qiao Jing with you? After all, she’s your sister-in-law. You can’t just attend yourself and neglect her at home.

Letting Qiao Jing participate in the academic conference will benefit her in some way,” she said.

She also wanted Qiao Jing to get out more because her daughter-in-law worked at Professor Qiao’s Research Institute too. Attending the conference might allow her to learn more about academic matters.

She could do nothing about agriculture, and even with the Zhan Family’s connections, she was no help, so she had to place her hopes on Zhan Nanqing.

Zhan Nanqing showed an awkward smile and chuckled dryly.

“Mom, there’s no need for me to take Qiao Jing there; she can go on her own,” she said.

If Qiao Jing doesn’t attend, who will host the conference?

Su Manhan let out a puzzled “Ah” and looked at Qiao Jing, asking out loud.
