Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 601 - 590: Only where Qiao Jing is, is his home

Xu Hongzu unexpectedly stepped forward a few steps, personally opening the car door for Qiao Jing!

Like a driver.

At this moment, Loo Chao was no longer just standing there dumbfounded; he felt as if he had turned to stone.

If he were to tell others what he had witnessed today, he was sure that no one would believe him!

The agricultural magnate Xu Hongzu was not only a highly respected elder but also the head of the Xu Family. Yet here he was, being extremely polite and even going as far as to open the car door for someone with no notable background or status?!

He almost thought that the man before him was someone impersonating Xu Hongzu.

Qiao Jing glanced at Xu Hongzu beside her, lowered her voice, and asked in her natural tone:

"Grandpa Xu, how did you recognize it was me?"

There was some difference between her male and female attires, and if there was any resemblance, it could probably only be seen in the brows, eyes, and figure. Yet, Xu Hongzu had recognized her immediately.

Xu Hongzu smacked his lips.

"How could I not recognize you? I thought you looked very much like you just from your silhouette, let alone seeing your face."

As he spoke, he paused, turned back to look at Loo Chao who was still standing there dumbfounded, and rolled his eyes in disdain.

"Do you know this rascal? Why did he come up to me out of the blue and start talking nonsense? And what’s with your outfit?"

Qiao Jing slightly frowned and got into the cab.

"Just an insignificant person, he misunderstood me over something trivial. As for my outfit, it’s too complicated to explain right now, just pretend you never saw it. If things go as planned, I won’t wear it again."

Today would be her last negotiation with Zhou Yunze concerning the matter. If Zhan Nanqing was harassed again, she would not hesitate to hand over all the evidence to the police.

She could tell that Zhou Yunze was no fool, knowing that these matters could affect the Zhou Family, so Zhan Nanqing was likely safe from harassment for the time being.

Xu Hongzu nodded, did not ask Qiao Jing further questions, and helped her close the car door.

"Then you go back by cab yourself; I won’t see you off. Take care. This old man needs to go home to sleep."

Qiao Jing hummed in acknowledgment, cast a fleeting glance at Loo Chao, and rolled up the car window.

From Loo Chao’s perspective, Xu Hongzu and Qiao Jing were engaged in conversation, appearing very intimate, seemingly having a very good relationship, and moreover...

There was still that one point that he couldn’t comprehend.

Wasn’t Qiao Linting just a pretty boy who relied on women? Where did he get such great influence to receive such politeness from Xu Hongzu?

After Qiao Jing left, Loo Chao, unable to fathom the situation, stepped forward a few steps, preparing to inquire Xu Hongzu.

"Professor Xu, you and—"

Xu Hongzu raised his hand impatiently, cutting off Loo Chao’s words.

"Loo family boy, don’t talk to me anymore. Also, I warn you, if you dare to speak disrespectfully to that person just now again, your Loo family’s status, humph..."

Before Loo Chao had time to make sense of it, Xu Hongzu had already left.

He stared at Xu Hongzu’s retreating figure, furrowing his brow.

Who exactly was Qiao Linting? How could he possibly threaten the position of the Loo family?

Could it be that Qiao Linting was not just a poor boy? And that his identity was even more significant than he had imagined?

Otherwise, why would Xu Hongzu be so inexplicably polite to Qiao Linting??

But now that Xu Hongzu had left outright, the truth remained unknown, and he didn’t dare to chase after him to ask, leaving him no choice but to give up.

Inside Nantai Apartment.

Qiao Jing had already changed back into her usual clothes. When she opened the door, she found the living room was pitch dark.

She frowned slightly, and peering through the faint moonlight, she glanced at the living room but didn’t see anyone’s figure, even the lights in the two rooms at the end of the corridor were turned off.

Could it be that Zhan Qipei wasn’t home?

Just as Qiao Jing was about to press the light switch and take out her phone to contact Zhan Qipei about the situation, she caught sight of a dark shadow suddenly appearing in front of her.

Without even thinking, she knew who the shadow was. Resignedly, she tugged at the corner of her mouth. Right when the other person was about to embrace her, she turned on the living room switch.

As the light came on, she also found herself in Zhan Qipei’s arms.

Qiao Jing reluctantly tugged at the corner of her mouth, looking up at Zhan Qipei.

"Why did you turn off all the lights at home?"

She had almost thought that Zhan Qipei hadn’t returned home at all that night and had eaten out.

It turned out Zhan Qipei was playing hide and seek with her, popping out right as she was about to turn on the light to find him.

Not only popping out, but what did embracing her without a word mean?

Zhan Qipei didn’t speak, buried his head in the crook of Qiao Jing’s neck, his hands tightly holding the woman in his arms, almost wishing he could meld her into his body.

They maintained that position for almost another minute before Qiao Jing couldn’t bear it any longer and pushed Zhan Qipei gently.

"Zhan Qipei, what’s the matter with you?"

She now felt that Zhan Qipei was not only clingy but also like a koala, and she was the tree that the koala was hugging tightly.

Feeling Qiao Jing’s resistance, Zhan Qipei slowly knitted his eyebrows, which resembled mountain-like mists, yet he still refused to let go.

"It’s already 9:30 PM."

Qiao Jing glanced at the clock on the wall, then slightly turned her head to look at the person leaning on her shoulder.

"Yes, what about it?"

Why was this clingy man suddenly mentioning the time? Could it be that he thought she came back too late?

But she returned home immediately after handling those affairs. The time around 9:30 PM was just perfect for her to wash up and rest.

Zhan Qipei, circling Qiao Jing’s waist with his arms, gradually increased his grip, his dark eyes deepening as he slowly moved closer to her ear.

"Don’t come back so late next time. I’m really worried about your safety."

After saying those words, his hand paused for a moment, and his eyes involuntarily glanced towards the kitchen.

"Have you had dinner?"

Qiao Jing felt the warm breath on her ear, furrowed her brow, and placed her hand against the man’s sturdy chest.

"I have, now let go."

Her ears were actually quite sensitive. Usually, it was fine, but whenever someone blew warm air into her ear, it tickled her.

However, no one had ever spoken into her ear from her childhood until now. Zhan Qipei was the first, otherwise, she would never have discovered this sensitivity.

But every time Zhan Qipei hugged her, this clingy man would always blow into her ears, and she couldn’t manage to dodge it.

Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes instantly dimmed, withdrawing the glance he cast toward the kitchen.

"I saved some food for you."

Only he knew that when he was alone at home, the house that usually felt familiar suddenly seemed a bit strange to him.

In the end, he concluded that only where Qiao Jing was, that was his home.
