Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 682 - 671: Hot Spring Resort

The next evening.

Qiao Jing had just returned home from work when she saw the suitcase she’d left in her room last night back in the living room.

She sighed helplessly, searching for Zhan Qipei’s figure around the house.

It was just a suitcase, and that damn man almost carried it to An City for her.

Qiao Jing looked around the house but couldn’t find Zhan Qipei anywhere.

However, before she left for work in the morning, Zhan Qipei had clearly told her he would leave around this time, but now that she was home, the man was nowhere to be seen.

Determined to enjoy the hot springs, she had rushed through her work today, and if that damn man was going to stand her up, she definitely wouldn’t go out with him again.

While she was thinking this, her phone suddenly rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Zhan Qipei, quickly tapping to answer.

"I’m home."

The first thing she heard from the other end of the phone was the sound of the wind, and... the sound of helicopter rotors?

Immediately after, Zhan Qipei’s voice came through.

"I’m coming to pick you up."

Qiao Jing hadn’t had a chance to ask what was happening when the call was disconnected.

However... the sound of helicopter blades had sparked a guess in her mind.

Could that damn man have brought over a helicopter?

Just as Qiao Jing was about to check the balcony, the door behind her opened.

Zhan Qipei quickly approached Qiao Jing, one hand dragging the suitcase, and with the other hand, he took her slender wrist.

"Let’s go."

When Qiao Jing saw that they were heading to the rooftop elevator, she immediately understood that Zhan Qipei had indeed brought a helicopter.

Qiao Jing looked at Zhan Qipei beside her with a hint of resignation and spoke slowly.

"We could have just booked a plane ticket."

An City was just next door, not far from the capital, so normally, flying there would suffice; a helicopter was a bit much.

Zhan Qipei’s face was filled with joy as he explained,

"I spoke with the hot springs’ management, and the helicopter can land directly there."

This was his first time taking a short vacation with Qiao Jing, and although it hadn’t started yet, he was already enjoying the atmosphere of a sweet journey.

Qiao Jing nodded her head but didn’t say anything more.

After boarding the helicopter, she saw someone she didn’t expect to see.

The pilot of this helicopter... was Tang Yan?

Qiao Jing looked at Tang Yan with a puzzled face and asked,

"Tang Yan, you know how to fly a helicopter?"

Tang Yan subconsciously glanced in Zhan Qipei’s direction and noticed that he was also looking at him.

He carefully chose his words, taking a while before he answered Qiao Jing’s question.

"As President Zhan’s all-purpose assistant, I’ve learned everything that can be learned."

He surely wouldn’t say that he had learned this skill solely because President Zhan had wanted to see Miss Qiao one night, instantly needing a helicopter to fly to the neighboring province; and he couldn’t just get a pilot at three or four in the morning within minutes to President Zhan’s house.

So he decided to put in the effort and learn it himself, and it came in handy today.

He had invested too much for President Zhan and Miss Qiao’s relationship, sigh...

Who else would go to such lengths for their boss’s love life?

Qiao Jing nodded, suddenly thinking of Lin Xiuxiang.

"Tang Yan, how is Xiuxiang’s health recently?"

Whenever Lin Xiuxiang came up, a smile appeared on Tang Yan’s usually stern face.

"She’s in great health and keeps mentioning she wants to hang out with you, but she also knows you’re busy, so she hasn’t gotten in touch."

Qiao Jing curled her lips into a faint smile.

"I understand, I’ll make time to hang out with her when I get back."

Having said that and just about to take out the medical book she brought with her, Qiao Jing heard Zhan Qipei’s voice.

"Tang Yan, once we arrive, you can head back."

He had Tang Yan pilot the plane for convenience, but he hadn’t expected Qiao Jing to strike up a conversation with him, effectively ignoring Zhan Qipei.

He would still fly back with Qiao Jing in first class later.

Tang Yan acknowledged and continued to focus on flying the plane.

Though he didn’t ask, being a man himself, he understood that his boss was jealous.

After boarding the plane, Miss Qiao hadn’t chatted with the boss at all, talking to him for a bit before settling down to read.

Qiao Jing was slightly puzzled, arching one delicate eyebrow as she glanced sideways at Zhan Qipei, only to notice that the man was furrowing his brows.

"What’s wrong?"

The helicopter had already taken off by then and was flying smoothly. Had Zhan Qipei suddenly changed his mind?

Zhan Qipei pursed his thin lips, pretending as if nothing had happened.

"It’s nothing, I just feel that flying is quite nice."

Qiao Jing didn’t think much of it and returned to reading her medical book.

Seeing this, Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes deepened as he shifted closer to Qiao Jing, stopping only when their legs touched.

At that moment, Qiao Jing was engrossed in her book, oblivious to Zhan Qipei’s subtle movements.

——

An City.

Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei walked straight into the lobby of the hot spring resort.

Tang Yan brought in their luggage and, after placing it on a sofa nearby, hurriedly left.

He didn’t dare stay and be the third wheel to President Zhan, otherwise, with the latter’s aura, he could turn the hot springs into glaciers.

Zhan Qipei led Qiao Jing to the sofa, inviting her to sit.

"I’ll go to the front desk to get the key. Wait for me here for a moment."

Qiao Jing nodded and flipped open her medical book again.

Just then, two men walked into the lobby.

One of them, wearing a floral shirt, was about to head to the front desk for the key, but was suddenly pulled back by his companion.

He frowned impatiently and clicked his tongue.

"What are you doing? Young Master Wang, I’m going to soak in the hot springs right now. I hope you’re not going to suddenly say you feel unwell and need to leave early when, in reality, you’re going to pick up girls."

The man beside him in the floral shirt pointed towards Qiao Jing and whistled.

"Fu Ming, look over there, at that one sitting on the sofa reading a book."

Fu Ming, a little impatient, followed Young Master Wang’s gesture and saw Qiao Jing, pausing and standing still in shock.

When he regained his composure, his eyes began to shine brightly.

"Damn, how come that woman is so beautiful?"

After so many years in An City, this was the first time he had come across someone so attractive. Compared to the ones he had been with before, she was world’s apart.

Young Master Wang hummed twice.

"Right? Why else do you think I’d just grab you like that? She’s top quality! Young Master Fu, how about we make a bet? You’re so good at flirting, let’s see if you can charm this ice queen. I bet you can’t, because she’s not like the others."

"Bullshit, there isn’t a woman I want that I can’t get. I’ll definitely charm her, just you watch!"
