Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

She had intended to keep a low profile, but others just wouldn’t give her the chance. She wished they could have picked anywhere else to clash with her, yet they had to do it right under her nose.

As soon as Zhan Nanqing heard this, both she and Lou Xinrou felt elated, finally getting to witness Qiao Jing make a fool of herself.

“Grandpa, hurry up and open it to see what kind of good stuff it is,” Zhan Nanqing said, while thinking to herself that whatever Qiao Jing had brought surely wouldn’t be presentable.

Others might not know Qiao Jing’s identity, but Zhan Yuanshan was very clear about it. Qiao Jing was not only the agricultural tech tycoon Professor Qiao but also the empire’s number one Divine Doctor Jing. Whenever this girl gave gifts, she did it generously; her gestures were never something the likes of Zhan Nanqing could match.

As expected, his granddaughter was about to be embarrassed today.

She deserved it too, this naive child needed a good lesson.

Zhan Yuanshan opened the box while murmuring to himself, and the next second his aged eyes lit up splendidly.

Not only Zhan Yuanshan but also Xu Hongzu, Han Zhiyu, and Lou Pinshu, these old-timers who had seen it all, were quick to gather around.

“This Ginseng’s quality is excellent! The main root is even thicker than my finger by a whole circle.”

“Look at its roots, each one is preserved perfectly.”

“This is simply a treasure!”

“…”

The old fellows discussed enthusiastically, attracting everyone around them, crowding the place until there was no room to move.

Zhan Nanqing and Lou Xinrou watched the scene with their mouths agape, feeling the sting of being slapped in the face.

“Authentic Wild Ginseng, easily over a hundred years old. Much, much superior to the one Lou Xinrou just gave.”

“What are you saying? The one Lou girl gave and this one aren’t even in the same league; you can’t even compare the two!”

Hearing this, Lou Xinrou was on the verge of tears.

Qiao Jing shook her head at Lou Xinrou. She hadn’t intended to smackdown, but if others were masochists, there was nothing she could do about it.

“My goodness! Young Master Zhan, your temporary wife is something else! Managing to get such fine items. Besides, I noticed earlier, the box is engraved with the Wonderful Hall logo. I went to Wonderful Hall, too, to choose a congratulatory gift for your grandpa and didn’t see anything this good. Maybe your temporary wife has a close private relationship with the big boss of Wonderful Hall? Especially keeping the good stuff aside for her,” Lu Zijiao analyzed.

Zhan Qipei’s face darkened, a cold atmosphere emanating from his furrowed brows.

One ‘temporary wife’ after another, even if temporary, she’s his now, and he’d like to see who dares to snatch her away.

Despite his irritation, Zhan Qipei was also curious about how Qiao Jing had managed to get such a perfect piece of Ginseng from Wonderful Hall.

Theoretically, such a fine item would be priceless and surely the treasure of Wonderful Hall, not for sale no matter how much money a customer offered. Could it be, as Lu Zijiao suggested, that Qiao Jing knew the big boss of Wonderful Hall?

Was she flaunting her charms and attracting bees and butterflies again?

After the gift-giving commotion had settled.

Lin Xiuxiang, her gaze filled with infatuation, withdrew her eyes from Deng Yunyi and tugged at Qiao Jing’s hand, whispering in a voice only they could hear, “Qiao Qiao, he is so handsome!”

Qiao Jing’s eyes lit up and she showed Lin Xiuxiang a teasing smile, “Are you love-struck at first sight?”

Lin Xiuxiang’s old face turned red, “What are you talking about? Qiao Qiao, you’ve become naughty.”

“Do you really like him? If you do, then pursue him boldly,” encouraged Qiao Jing.

“What are you saying? I don’t like him at all,” Lin Xiuxiang denied, but her eyes had a mind of their own, uncontrollably glancing at Deng Yunyi.

“Why don’t you ask him for his WeChat?” suggested Qiao Jing.

Lin Xiuxiang covered her face, “No way, that would be too embarrassing! Besides, I only think he’s handsome, he fits my aesthetics. I don’t know anything about him, it’s not about liking.”

“Normally when people meet, the first impression is of the other’s appearance. If there’s an attraction, then you become interested in getting to know them. After developing such interest, isn’t it natural to then take action and spend time with them? How else are you going to find out if they are right for you?”

If Lin Xiuxiang didn’t know that Qiao Jing had never been in love, she would have suspected that Qiao Jing was a seasoned player with vast experience.

“Let’s just forget about it; looking is enough for me.”

“If you won’t go, I’ll get it for you,” Qiao Jing said before turning and walking towards Deng Yunyi.

“Hey! Qiao Qiao! Qiao Qiao, come back!” Lin Xiuxiang quickly cried out.

Qiao Jing turned back and made an “Ok” sign to Lin Xiuxiang, then continued walking towards Deng Yunyi.

The actions of the Qiao Family drew the attention of many people around.

Especially Zhan Qipei.

Zhan Qipei paused from drinking, his deep and ocean-like dark eyes fixed on Qiao Jing.

“What is she up to?” Lu Zijiao asked what everyone wanted to know.

Deng Yunyi was curious too, looking at Qiao Jing who stopped in front of him, he asked in confusion, “Do you need something from me?”

“Yeah,” Qiao Jing nodded, “What’s your WeChat ID?”
