Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 332 - 322: Forcing Zhan Qipei to Drink Herbal Medicine
Chapter 332: Chapter 322: Forcing Zhan Qipei to Drink Herbal Medicine
Today’s lunch was at the orphanage, and Lin Xiuxiang woke up not long after, insisting on helping them make buns.
Qiao Jing didn’t hesitate to send her back to bed and had Tang Yan and Zhan Qipei help with the bun-making instead.
Zhan Qipei felt sorry for her and watched Qiao Jing’s belly with concern.
Clearly his own wife was also pregnant, so why couldn’t he take a break?
Thinking of this, he immediately sped up the bun-making process, hoping to prevent Qiao Jing from working too hard.
During the meal, all the kids swarmed around Qiao Jing, chattering about something.
...
Zhan Qipei was squeezed out by the children and watched the cluster of little boys around Qiao Jing with a deep gaze.
When Qiao Jing noticed his look, she shook her head helplessly.
This guy, how can he be jealous of children?
After lunch, Qiao Jing got into the car, and went home with the man.
Looking at the scenery outside the window, she suddenly thought of how Zhan Qipei had increased his speed in making buns, which made her curious.
“How come you suddenly became so fast at making buns? Haven’t you not mastered it yet?”
Zhan Qipei’s hand on the steering wheel paused as he considered how to answer Qiao Jing’s question, but a phone call came in at that moment.
He pressed the answer button, the phone connected to the car’s Bluetooth, and automatically switched to speakerphone.
Su Manhan’s voice came through, tinged with a bit of urgency.
“Qipei, come home for dinner tonight.”
She had specially prepared a medicinal brew, which was sure to cure Qipei; he needed to rush back in time to drink it while it was hot.
Before Zhan Qipei could answer, there came the sound of Grandpa Zhan knocking his walking stick from the other end of the phone.
“And bring Xiao Jing along for dinner, or Qipei, don’t bother coming back either.”
Su Manhan suddenly fell silent, waiting for Zhan Qipei’s response.
Zhan Qipei glanced at Qiao Jing beside him, seeking her opinion.
Qiao Jing pondered for a moment, guessing that there must be a reason for Su Manhan to ask Zhan Qipei to come home for dinner.
Even though she didn’t want to go to Purple Garden, Grandpa Zhan had spoken, and she had to go; otherwise, it would be bad if she caused any delay for Zhan Qipei.
After thinking it through, she gave Zhan Qipei a light nod.
Su Manhan’s anxious voice came through again.
“Qipei? Did you hear me?”
Zhan Qipei only replied after Qiao Jing gave her consent.
“Yeah, I got it.”
Then he hung up the call, but he was somewhat puzzled; his mother’s voice just now, why was it so worried and urgent?
What had happened?
But what concerned him more at the moment was that Qiao Jing was willing to accompany him home for dinner.
If his wife was willing to go home for dinner with him, did that mean they had taken a step closer in their relationship?
Zhan Qipei was in a very good mood, his lips curling slightly, his tone carrying a hint of excitement.
“Then we won’t need to buy groceries tonight.”
Qiao Jing responded with a light hum.
Purple Garden.
As soon as Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei walked in the door, she smelled a strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine.
She identified the purpose of the few medicinal dishes; they were for nourishing the kidneys.
Moreover, this combination of medicinal dishes, if consumed by a man, would undoubtedly make him robust, but the side effects could potentially overburden the body.
When Zhan Qipei smelled the medicinal scent, his eyebrows furrowed slightly as he formed a guess.
Called back home, could it be because they want him to drink this medicine?
And what exactly was the purpose of this medicine?
The moment Su Manhan saw Zhan Qipei, her eyes lit up.
“You’re back, Qipei, come here, sit down quickly.”
The dining table was already full, and the two empty seats were reserved for them.
Zhan Nanqing was waving at Qiao Jing from across the table.
Qiao Jing nodded at her and greeted Grandpa Zhan as she approached the dining table.
“Grandpa Zhan.”
Zhan Yuanshan nodded in satisfaction.
“Hey, Xiao Jing, sit down and eat.”
Once they were both seated, a bowl of herbal medicine soup was handed to Zhan Qipei.
Su Manhan was looking forward to Zhan Qipei’s reaction, and when her son made no move to drink it, she couldn’t help but hurry him.
“Drink it, Qipei, I had someone specially simmer this for you, it’s been on the stove for hours. It’s best to drink it warm.”
The thick scent of herbal medicine spread through the air, and Zhan Nanqing coughed twice from the smell.
“Mom, isn’t that smell a bit too strong? It must be really bitter. What’s the point of making brother drink it?”
Su Manhan lifted her chin and replied with a proud smile.
“It’s for kidney nourishment, of course. Your brother’s infertility needs to be treated.”
Qiao Jing slightly raised her eyes upon hearing Su Manhan’s words but said nothing.
Compared to Qiao Jing’s indifferent expression, Zhan Qipei couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth and pushed the bowl of soup to the side.
“I don’t need to drink this kind of thing.”
Su Manhan furrowed her brows.
“No, you must drink it. This medicine is exceptionally good for nourishing the kidneys—”
She hadn’t finished her sentence when she was interrupted by Zhan Nanqing’s violent coughing.
Zhan Nanqing had been sipping her soup when she heard her mother’s single-minded determination to nourish her brother’s kidneys and choked on it.

She energetically patted her chest while tears came out from coughing, and with a mixture of laughter and tears, she looked at Su Manhan.
Did her brother still need to nourish his kidneys?
Qiao Jing was pregnant with triplets!
If her brother were to nourish his kidneys any further, he might end up with quadruplets next time.
Su Manhan furrowed her eyebrows, mystified by her daughter’s odd behavior.
“You’re such a grown-up, how can you choke on soup?”
Zhan Nanqing hadn’t had time to catch her breath and wiped away her tears.
She previously thought her brother was infertile, but after learning about Qiao Jing’s triplet pregnancy, she had come to a realization.
It wasn’t that his body was incapable; it was that there were no women around him.
After all, no matter how formidable a man is, he can’t get pregnant by himself!
At this thought, Zhan Nanqing’s gaze shifted to Qiao Jing’s face and noticed a subtle change in her expression.
Su Manhan looked worriedly at Zhan Qipei, pushing the soup back in front of him.
“How can you not drink it?! It’s for your own good. You don’t know, today I visited Mrs. Wang from the Wang Corporation. Her son is the same age as you, and I found out she is already a grandmother!
You, on the other hand, show no sign of activity, so I immediately asked someone to find a special remedy. They say it’s particularly effective. If that’s the case, the day I get to hold my grandchild won’t be far off.”
When she saw Mrs. Wang holding her grandchild, the smile on her face was so gleaming it hurt Su Manhan’s eyes and made her feel sour inside.
Zhan Nanqing almost burst into laughter, then immediately stifled it.
“Mom, why are you still doubting whether my brother is infertile?”
Su Manhan looked at Zhan Nanqing with disdain.
“He’s already that old. If it’s not a physical issue, how come he doesn’t have any kids?”
A crack appeared on Qiao Jing’s face as she forced herself not to listen to Su Manhan and focused her eyes on her bowl instead.
During the surgery she performed on Zhan Qipei, she could tell that it wasn’t likely for the man to have that kind of issue.
Besides, she was already pregnant now.
However, she wasn’t going to let a third person know about this matter.
Zhan Qipei, with a peripheral glance, was eyeing Qiao Jing’s belly with some pride.
Unfortunately, this was something he couldn’t share with Su Manhan.
“Mom, I really don’t need to drink this. I don’t have any health problems.”
Zhan Nanqing desperately held back laughter, glancing at Zhan Qipei, then at Qiao Jing.
She pinched herself on the thigh to keep the laughter that was about to spill from her lips at bay.
At this moment, Zhan Yao also spoke up.
“Qipei, this concerns your health. Since the soup is good for you, you should drink it.”
This time, Zhan Yuanshan agreed with Su Manhan, stroking his beard.
