Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 382 - 371: Qiao Jing Wants to Strip Zhan Qipei’s Clothes
Chapter 382 -371: Qiao Jing Wants to Strip Zhan Qipei’s Clothes
She stood frozen in place, her cheek burning from a hot sting, and without looking, she knew there was a bright red handprint on her face.
Tears of grievance began to form as her grandfather hadn’t even listened to her explanation before hitting her.
For what reason?!
She glared fiercely at Qiao Jing, wanting to see her looking disheveled and pale.
But at that moment, Qiao Jing was not disheveled at all and was protected by three people, completely unharmed.
And among those three people, two were the ones who used to be closest to her!
All were stolen by Qiao Jing! It’s all Qiao Jing’s fault!
Everything was Qiao Jing’s fault!
Why doesn’t Qiao Jing just die?!
Also, having just been pushed down, wouldn’t that have hurt the baby?
It would be better if Qiao Jing and the wretched child inside her were dead!
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Lou immediately rushed to Lou Xinrou’s side and supported her.
At this moment, she was furious yet dared not speak, suppressing her anger and asked cautiously,
“Dad, why did you hit Xinrou?”
Hitting Xinrou in front of everyone was a total disrespect to her, turning his glance to the slightly swollen handprint, it genuinely upset her as a mother.
Lou Pinshu let out a heavy snort.
“She knows well what she has done!”
After saying that, he looked towards Qiao Jing, his expression softened a lot and even carried a hint of apology.
“Sorry, Miss Qiao, it’s my lack of discipline; I apologize on behalf of my granddaughter. Sigh—”
The crowd exchanged glances, with nobody speaking a word.
Publicly hitting Lou Xinrou had already shocked them greatly, as it was clearly a disrespect to his own granddaughter.
What was even more important was Lou Pinshu’s attitude towards Qiao Jing, which left the crowd too shocked to speak.
Qiao Jing pursed her lips; she was a person who valued evidence.
“Elder Mr. Lou, there’s no need to rush this, why not look at the surveillance footage first before making a decision, otherwise, people might think that I am accusing someone unjustly.”
She looked towards a surveillance camera in the corner of the pool.
From Lou Xinrou’s angle, she couldn’t see another camera behind her capturing the scene very clearly.
That’s why Lou Xinrou was so bold.
After hearing the word ‘surveillance,’ Lou Xinrou’s expression turned to shock, she incredulously lifted her head, staring at Qiao Jing.
Impossible…
Impossible!
There shouldn’t be any surveillance!!
But Qiao Jing’s expression didn’t look fake…
She followed Qiao Jing’s gaze.
Lou Xinrou’s pupils dilated twice their size, her face draining of color.
“No… how could there be surveillance?”
Qiao Jing wrapped herself tighter in the towel, feeling a bit cold, furrowing her brows.
“You can check the surveillance yourselves.”
She didn’t stay any longer, casting a glance at the man by her side.
Zhan Qipei followed Qiao Jing and left.
Su Manhan and Zhan Nanqing, having seen Lou Xinrou’s expression, already knew the truth.
Neither of them felt like staying any longer; they gave Lou Xinrou a cold glance and left as well.
Those present, after seeing Lou Xinrou’s expression, began speculating quietly amongst themselves.
“Looking at her face, could it really have been her who pushed…”
“I don’t know, why not just check the surveillance?”
“Then why did she push Qiao Jing down? But Young Master Zhan didn’t hesitate at all and jumped down to hold Qiao Jing, it really makes people envious!”
“…”
Lou Xinrou’s complexion turned paler and paler, and she couldn’t listen anymore. She covered her face and ran away.
Seeing that Qiao Jing had left, Lou Pinshu naturally would not publicly reveal the surveillance, as it would disgrace the Lou Family no matter what.
He stated solemnly, “This matter ends here.”
Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed very perceptively.
“If it was Xinrou who pushed Qiao Jing in the surveillance, she will be dealt with by family law.”
Inside Nantai Apartment.
Qiao Jing took the clothes handed over by Zhan Qipei and hurriedly walked to the bathroom.
On the way home, the man had already turned on the car’s heater, but the sticky feeling on her body made her uncomfortable.
When she came out of the bathroom, she faced Zhan Qipei, who was standing at the door.
The man was still wearing that soaked suit, not having changed his clothes.
Qiao Jing furrowed her brows and urged him.
“Why don’t you change? Go take a shower, or you might catch a cold.”
Her gaze fell on the white shirt the man was wearing, and she suddenly remembered something, her expression turning worried.
“Zhan Qipei! Your back wound hasn’t fully healed, why did you jump into the pool?”
She anxiously tried to open Zhan Qipei’s shirt to see how the wound on his back was.
She had changed his dressing that morning, and the wound was almost healed, but with such a big action of jumping into the water earlier, what if the wound split open again?
If the wound split open, touching water would easily cause the wound to become infected, and it might even lead to a fever.
Zhan Qipei pursed his lips and took off his coat. He hadn’t changed clothes simply because he was still somewhat shaken and wanted to stay close to Qiao Jing at all times.
“Seeing you choke on the water in the pool, I just jumped in instinctively.”
He couldn’t bear to see Qiao Jing get into trouble in front of him, he couldn’t handle it.
Qiao Jing rolled her eyes speechlessly, but her eyes showed a worried expression.
“Go take a shower now, avoid the wound, and after you come out, I’ll check it for you.”
She paused, then continued from where she had left off.
“The pool is only two meters deep, it’s not dangerous for me, and I can swim. But what about you, don’t you remember the wound on your body?”
Zhan Qipei didn’t speak, his dark eyes staring intently at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing felt a sudden throb in her temple but had no way to deal with Zhan Qipei, so she just pushed him into the bathroom.
“There’s a bathrobe inside, bathe immediately, and be careful with the wound.”
Her voice carried an undeniable tone as she closed the door for him.
After ushering him into the shower, she went straight to the kitchen and cooked two bowls of ginger soup to prevent them both from catching cold.

After drinking her share, she sat in the chair and took her own pulse, relieved that there was nothing seriously wrong with her body, just a bit chilled.
Zhan Qipei quickly washed up, eager to make ginger soup for Qiao Jing.
When he came out, Qiao Jing was sitting in a chair taking her pulse, and he stepped forward.
“How’s your body feeling? I was going to cook—”
His sentence stopped when he saw the steaming ginger soup on the table.
Without a word, Qiao Jing pushed the ginger soup towards him, urging him.
“Drink the ginger soup, and take off the bathrobe so I can check your wound.”
Zhan Qipei felt delighted seeing how much Qiao Jing cared for him, his lips curling into a smile.
His wife had given him a towel at the banquet, now she was cooking ginger soup for him and checking his wound.
Could his wife have fallen in love with him already?
