Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 96: Chapter 90: Holding Hands

“I’ll take you out for a meal,”

“No need, it’s too late, and I don’t want to go out. Besides, it would be a waste.” Qiao Jing had barely finished speaking when Zhan Qipei snatched the noodles from her hands and proceeded to finish the remaining noodles in the bowl right in front of her.

“There, no waste. Let’s go,” Zhan Qipei said, putting down the bowl and looking at Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing sat on the couch, stunned. As clever as she was, she couldn’t fathom the man’s behavior.

“Let’s go.” Seeing Qiao Jing unmoving, Zhan Qipei reached out, took Qiao Jing by the wrist, pulled her up from the couch, and dragged her out the door.

Qiao Jing kept staring at the man’s hand, a strange sensation inexplicably rising in her heart. Unable to describe it… if she had to… it was very subtle…

“Brother Pei!” The elevator doors opened, and there came the sweet call of Lou Xinrou.

The next second, upon seeing Zhan Qipei holding Qiao Jing’s hand, Lou Xinrou’s whole demeanor changed for the worse.

Qiao Jing tugged at her hand, and that’s when Zhan Qipei realized he was still holding onto it.

After they exchanged glances, they simultaneously turned their heads away, neither of them mentioning the incident.

Lou Xinrou looked at Zhan Qipei, then at Qiao Jing. Although she didn’t know what had transpired between them, one thing was certain—her Brother Pei would soon no longer be hers.

“Brother Pei, it’s so late, where are you two going?”

Zhan Qipei turned to Qiao Jing, “What do you want to eat?”

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Jing said, “I found out that before my mom passed away, she used to eat beef noodles at Li Ji Noodle House often.”

“Then let’s go there.”

“Okay,” Qiao Jing replied with a smile towards Zhan Qipei.

Seeing the smile unfold on the girl’s face, Zhan Qipei was momentarily dazzled.

The girl’s eyes, which had shed tears, were brighter and clearer than ever before, like a little deer peering out from the depths of the forest, large and moist, making one unable to resist feeling tender towards her.

Added to that, the girl’s nose was slightly red from crying and her lips a little swollen, the more he looked, the more he couldn’t help wanting to hold her close and comfort her.

Xinrou watched Qiao Jing with evident jealousy, feeling
