Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 979: Chapter 967: Xu Mogian and Ni Yue Also Cling to Qiao Jing

Seeing the three little ones clinging to Qiao Jing, Lu Zijin was a bit surprised.

He couldn't help asking, “Have you known each other for a long time? These three children from the Zhan Family

seem to like you a lot.”

Qiao Jing lovingly patted the little ones’ heads and replied slowly, “We've known each other for a while. | don’t

know why, but | always feel these little ones are very endearing. Maybe we're just naturally connected.”

At this moment, Zhan Yuanshan maneuvered his wheelchair closer to Zhan Qipei and said, exasperated, “Look at

you, a father, yet not as proactive as your three sons. Your wife is almost being whisked away, and you still have

the mind to drink here!”

Zhan Qipei swirled the wine in his glass, his thin lips slowly releasing a sentence, “She’s not mine.”

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Zhan Yuanshan'’s old face turned red with anger.

If he weren't in a wheelchair and hadn’t used a walking stick in a long time, he would've surely given this

disappointing grandson a few whacks to clear his head!

Glancing disdainfully at his grandson, Zhan Yuanshan snorted, “Fine, if you won't go, I will!”

With that, the old man maneuvered his wheelchair towards Qiao Jing.

Once in front of Qiao Jing, the old man put on his usual act, feigning weakness as he said, “Jing Girl, | feel a bit

unwell. Can you check my pulse to see if my condition has worsened?”

Qiao Jing looked at the old man’s complexion and lip color, seeing he appeared quite healthy, not showing any

signs of trouble.

Knowing the old man was faking it again, she said helplessly, “Grandpa Zhan, perhaps you're just tired. Why

don’t you rest for a bit?”

The way they addressed each other left Lu Zijin feeling a bit surprised.

Jing Girl? Grandpa Zhan?

Clearly, these were the terms of endearment between Qiao Jing and Old Master Zhan!

Out of curiosity, Lu Zijin quietly inquired about what was going on.

Since it wouldn't be good for Zhan Yuanshan to hear this, Qiao Jing leaned in close to Lu Zijin, whispering in a

voice only they could hear, “The old man mistookfor his granddaughter-in-law.”

“His health isn’t great, and he can’t take any shocks. Otherwise, his condition could worsen, so I'm just

pretending to help him out...”

Having listened, Lu Zijin nodded in understanding.

This scene was clearly observed by Zhan Qipei, and seeing the two of them so close, he felt a sudden heaviness

in his heart, his grip on the wine glass tightening.

“Snap——"

The wine glass shattered in response.

Hearing the commotion, Lu Zijin turned his head and found that Zhan Qipei had smashed the wine glass!

Startled for a moment, Lu Zijin suspiciously asked, “What happened to you? Why so suddenly violent?”

Zhan Qipei lightly pursed his thin lips, casually grabbing a tissue to wipe the wine off his hand, responding

expressionlessly, “It’s nothing, the glass was just poor quality.”

Lu Zijiao cast a skeptical glance at his own wine glass, deeply doubting Zhan Qipei’s words.

The glass’s quality was perfectly fine, where was the problem?!

Just then, Zhan Nanjing walked over.

She glanced at Lu Zijiao, her face full of curiosity, and asked, “When did your brother and Xiao Jing get so close?

They seem to be getting along well.”

Lu Zijiao smiled readily, replying cheerfully, “That's something recent.”

Zhan Nanjing nodded, pausing for a few seconds, then curiously inquired, “Didn’t your brother have feelings for

my sister-in-law before? Has he shifted his target now?”

Lu Zijiao shrugged, reasoning, “I think it’s quite good this way. Otherwise, my brother would keep pining, and if

he couldn’t have her, someone else would always get upset, and randomly cause a jealous scene.”

“Besides, this Third Miss Qiao seems pretty great totoo!”

Lu Zijiao’s words were clearly pointing to Zhan Qipei as the “someone else.”

Zhan Nanjing subconsciously glanced at her brother before nodding in agreement with Lu Zijiao’s words, “You're

right, but who knows if anything will cout of your brother and Xiao Jing?”

Lu Zijiao raised an eyebrow, “From the way you're talking, are you rooting for them too?”

“Yes, with their talents and looks, they make a great pair together. Plus, they seem to get along well enough. If

they could end up together, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.”

As Zhan Nanjing finished speaking, she suddenly noticed her brother staring at her, his gaze a bit chilly, sending

a shiver down her spine for no apparent reason.

For this, Zhan Nanjing felt very puzzled.

How strange, why was her brother looking at her like that for no good reason?!

Finishing the wine in his glass, Lu Zijiao sighed, “Anyway, | really hope my brother succeeds, so my mom stops

pressuringto get married.”

In the midst of speaking, Zhan Nanjing caught a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

She focused, realizing the figure was Xu Mogian.

At that moment, Xu Mogian was striding quickly towards Qiao Jing.

Unable to help rolling her eyes, Zhan Nanjing complained, “Why is this guy back again, always hovering around

like a ghost!”

Hearing this, Zhan Qipei and Lu Zijiao both looked over, seeing Xu Mogian had already reached Qiao Jing.

Xu Mogian glanced at Lu Zijin beside

Qiao Jing and blurted, “Why are yu

Then, Xu Mogian shifted the topic,

“It's too quiet here Sehr ata

Qiao Jing shook her head, gently refusing, “I prefer quieter places, they makefeel more comfortable.”

Hearing this, Lu Zijin’s lips curled into a slight smile, feeling inexplicably happy inside.

It just so happened he also preferred quiet places...

Just as Xu Mogian was about to say something, Ni Yue suddenly darted over, hugging Qiao Jing.

She beamed broadly, speaking

cheerfully, “Xiao Jingjing, | didn’t

The sound of “Xiao Jingjing” momentarily stunned both Xu Mogian and Lu Zijin.

However, they quickly figured out the reason.

Like them, Ni Yue probably felt this Qiao Jing closely resembled Qiao Jing, which is why she addressed her that

way.

Watching this scene from afar, Zhan Qipei couldn't help but beca bit lost in thought, even dazed for a

moment.

Because in the past, these people always liked to gather around his wife, each wanting to vie for her attention...

Lu Zijiao set down his glass with a “bang,” rolling up his sleeves with an air of going into battle.

Zhan Nanjing looked at him questioningly, “What are you doing?”

Lu Zijiao snorted, angrily, “Didn't you see? Xu Mogian clearly isn’t up to any good!”

Zhan Nanjing readily agreed, as she also thought Xu Mogian was quite a bothersfellow!
