Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 50: Chapter 48: The Consequences of Provoking Qiao Jing

Lou Xinrou felt as if an arrow had shot through her heart.

It’s often said that the players are blind while the spectators see clearly; as a spectator, Lou Xinrou discerned something from Zhan Qipei’s actions that perhaps even Zhan Qipei himself hadn’t grasped.

That was, Qiao Jing had truly caught his attention, and had already secured a place in his heart.

Having come to this conclusion, Lou Xinrou felt a surge of imminent danger.

It seemed she needed to come up with a good plan fast, to win him over before Zhan Qipei fell completely for Qiao Jing!

After returning to the banquet hall, Lin Xiuxiang ran over, worried.

“Qiao Qiao, are you okay? Zhan Qipei didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

“What could he do to me?” While saying this, Qiao Jing thought of the recent events and unconsciously furrowed her brow.

Though it was a subtle expression, it didn’t escape Lin Xiuxiang’s attention.

“I’m sorry, Qiao Qiao, it’s all my fault for telling you that Deng Yunyi was handsome. I don’t think he’s handsome at all now, rejecting a girl in public, not gentlemanly at all.”

Lin Xiuxiang was genuinely angry. Although Deng Yunyi had been her aesthetic choice, compared to her friendship with Qiao Jing, he was worthless. So now, she felt nothing when she looked at Deng Yunyi.

“You don’t want his contact information anymore?” Qiao Jing asked for confirmation.

“I already said I didn’t want it. I’m just an orphanage teacher, and he’s a high-and-mighty heir from a wealthy family—not from the same world at all. Not to mention that he wouldn’t look my way, even if he did, I wouldn’t want to marry into a rich family. My biggest wish in life is to find an ordinary person to live an ordinary life, and then, after I get married, for my husband to agree to let me stay at the orphanage and do the work I love,” said Lin Xiuxiang with a shrug.

After hearing this, Qiao Jing smiled, “Yeah, that’s pretty good. I hope you find your other half soon.”

“Hey, look at me, spending my days in the orphanage, dealing with a bunch of kids. The teachers there are almost all female, so finding another half is as hard as reaching the heavens.”

“Fate is unpredictable; it might come when you least expect it. Maybe, you’ll be free of being single soon.”

“I’ll take your auspicious words!” Lin Xiuxiang brightened up as she spoke, but her eyes sparkled when she caught sight of Lou Xinrou.

“Why has she suddenly dressed up like that? What is she planning to do?”
