Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 787: Chapter 775 Zhan Yuanshan vs Wu Xirui

An important matter?

Qiao Jing eyed Zhan Qipei suspiciously, her brows delicately arched like painted scrolls as she asked casually, "What matter?"

She couldn’t recall anything important that needed doing.

Zhan Qipei’s thin lips slightly curved, forming a wicked smile as his deep, magnetic voice charmed, "Of course, it’s a major affair—contributing bricks and tiles to the nation’s construction!"

With those words, he leaned forward and pinned Qiao Jing down on the bed.

As Qiao Jing fell back, she quickly protected her stomach with her hands, then glared at Zhan Qipei admonishingly, "Slow down, be careful of my stomach!"

This man could be so careless; if he hurt the baby in her belly, that would be troublesome!

"My fault, my fault, I’ll be more careful."

Zhan Qipei repeatedly admitted his mistakes, but his tone remained teasingly ambiguous, his hands mischievously wrapping around Qiao Jing’s waist.

Qiao Jing furrowed her brows and glared at him again, pushing him slightly, "Stop messing around, get up!"

The phone was still on!

Everyone could hear!

She seriously suspected that this man was doing it on purpose!!!

Listening to their conversation, especially Zhan Qipei’s ambiguous tone, Cao Feiyu on the other end of the phone felt incredibly sour.

He could tell that Zhan Qipei’s words were deliberately provoking him.

Who could stand this?!

Thus, Cao Feiyu couldn’t bear it any longer and hung up the phone.

While Qiao Jing was pushing him away, Zhan Qipei casually took her phone.

Seeing the call had ended, he threw the phone onto the nightstand and turned off the room’s light.

Then, he pulled Qiao Jing into his arms and kissed her lips.

Qiao Jing wanted to kick him away, but remembering his injuries hadn’t completely healed, and worrying that too much movement might affect the baby in her belly, she ultimately indulged him...

...

Due to the drowsiness caused by her pregnancy and being up all night with Zhan Qipei, Qiao Jing slept until noon the next day.

When she woke up, Zhan Qipei was no longer in the room, likely having gone to the office.

After all, going to M-country to find her had delayed him considerably, and he probably had accumulated a lot of work.

After freshening up, Qiao Jing changed into a more casual outfit and then left the room.

Just as she stepped out of her room, she encountered Zhan Yuanshan walking towards her.

"Grandpa Zhan," Qiao Jing stopped in her tracks and greeted him.

Zhan Yuanshan looked at Qiao Jing with a loving gaze and said with a smile, "Jing Girl, I was just about to look for you, and you came out just in time."

Hearing this, Qiao Jing slightly raised her brows, her expression showing a bit of confusion.

She really couldn’t figure out what Zhan Yuanshan wanted with her.

Seeing Qiao Jing’s suspicious look, Zhan Yuanshan spoke up, "It’s nothing urgent, just wanted to have a few words with you alone. Since it’s mealtime, let’s go have lunch together and chat over food."

"Okay," Qiao Jing nodded in agreement. noveldrama

Following that, the two of them left together and took a car to the restaurant.

After the car had driven a distance, Zhan Yuanshan looked at Qiao Jing who was also sitting in the back seat and spoke somewhat emotionally.

"Now it’s settled, Jing Girl you have finally become my true granddaughter-in-law. I’ve finally fulfilled one of my wishes, otherwise, this concern always lingered in my heart and I couldn’t let go."

Qiao Jing flashed a faint smile and did not speak.

She truly didn’t know how to respond to that, so she could only return a smile.

Although she didn’t continue the conversation, it didn’t affect Zhan Yuanshan’s enthusiasm, as the elderly man kept talking to himself.

"Back in the day, when you were only eighteen or nineteen, I knew you, and even though you were young, your capabilities truly amazed me."

"At that time, I wholeheartedly wanted you to take over my position, hoping you could lead our country’s team to protect the nation’s safety while creating a new era of brilliance, making our nation powerful."

"I always believed that with your abilities, achieving this wouldn’t be difficult at all, but unfortunately... you were always unwilling."

As he said this, Zhan Yuanshan let out a sigh of regret.

After a silence of two seconds, Qiao Jing spoke lightly, "Grandpa Zhan, you know that my aspirations do not lie there."

Defending the nation wasn’t necessarily something only she could do.

However, there were things that only she could accomplish, so she had to make choices!

"Yes, I understand what you’re saying, don’t think I’m just a nagging old man, I just find it a bit regrettable," he replied.

As he spoke, Zhan Yuanshan suddenly thought of something, and when he looked at Qiao Jing again, his gaze held even more admiration.

"Speaking of which, now that you’ve become the Empire’s leading agricultural professor and made a significant contribution to the country’s agricultural economy, that’s a huge matter for the people’s livelihood of the entire Empire—its significance is no less than that of fighting on the battlefield; hence your decision back then wasn’t wrong after all..."

All along the way, Zhan Yuanshan kept talking, while Qiao Jing quietly listened, occasionally responding.

Soon, the car stopped in front of a restaurant.

Qiao Jing was the first to open the door and get out, while Zhan Yuanshan followed a step behind.

It was then that Wu Xirui happened to come out from the neighboring restaurant.

He looked up and saw Qiao Jing alighting from the car.

This unexpected encounter made Wu Xirui unconsciously smirk, a playful smile appearing on his face as he stepped towards Qiao Jing.

However, he froze just a few steps away from Qiao Jing when he suddenly saw Zhan Yuanshan getting out from the other side of the car.

The moment he recognized Zhan Yuanshan, Wu Xirui’s steps halted, and his expression darkened, the smile on his face disappearing instantly.

By blood, this man was his grandfather.

But due to past conflicts, he harbored deep resentment towards this man!

Whenever they met, conflict was inevitable!

Wu Xirui had no intention of arguing with an old man on the street, and was about to turn around and leave.

Just then, Zhan Yuanshan also noticed Wu Xirui.

Seeing Wu Xirui about to turn away as soon as he saw him, Zhan Yuanshan shouted, "You boy, stop right there!"

Hearing this, Wu Xirui paused slightly.

Qiao Jing, following behind Zhan Yuanshan, walked towards Wu Xirui.

Her gaze swept back and forth between the grandfather and grandson, then she pondered thoughtfully.

Although Zhan Yuanshan was Wu Xirui’s biological grandfather, it was also because of Zhan Yuanshan that Wu Xirui’s mother had run away from home.

If it weren’t for that past incident, perhaps Wu Xirui’s mother might not have died at such a young age.

So, it was likely that Wu Xirui harbored considerable hatred for Zhan Yuanshan...

As Qiao Jing was thinking this, Wu Xirui had already resumed walking, showing an attitude of completely ignoring Zhan Yuanshan.

Seeing this, Zhan Yuanshan immediately leaned on his cane, swiftly catching up to block Wu Xirui, and said sternly, "You boy, I told you to stop, didn’t you hear me?"

Wu Xirui glanced at Zhan Yuanshan, intending to walk past him, but suddenly he changed his mind.

He wanted to see what this man had to say!
