Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 101: Chapter 95: Zhan Qipei Brings Cake to Qiao Jing

“Here, this is for you.”

“Huh?” Qiao Jing looked at Zhan Qipei with a puzzled expression.

“Ahem—” Zhan Qipei cleared his throat, his demeanor somewhat awkward.

“After all, I am technically your husband. Yesterday was your birthday, so it’s still acceptable to offer my wishes today, even if it’s a day late.”

Qiao Jing suddenly realized that Zhan Qipei was rather prideful. She could feel that he genuinely wished her a happy birthday, yet he acted as if buying the gift was a duty he could not ignore.

Well, since he cared so much about his image, she wouldn’t expose him.

“That’s true, it wouldn’t be proper if you hadn’t bought anything.” Qiao Jing said as she touched the cake box, a smile spreading across her face. “When is your birthday? I’ll return the favor with a gift then.”

Reciprocity was a principle Qiao Jing lived by.

“New Year’s Eve,” Zhan Qipei replied.

“That’s a good time for a birthday,” Qiao Jing raised her eyebrows and then frowned. “But our arrangement ends in just over forty days. Let me calculate, will I still be living with you by then?”

Qiao Jing opened her phone calendar, “Wow, what a coincidence! The day we go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get divorced is New Year’s Eve. I’ll still be able to celebrate your birthday.”

Zhan Qipei’s expression tensed; he didn’t want to hear the word “divorce” first thing in the morning, especially from Qiao Jing.

“Eat quickly, it’s getting cold.”

“Yes.” Qiao Jing, in a good mood, had quite an appetite—he ate two bowls of porridge and two servings of steamed buns.

Zhan Qipei glanced at Qiao Jing’s abdomen, which was noticeably swollen.

It’s good that he had eaten.

Soon, Zhan Qipei had dropped Qiao Jing off at the entrance of the research institute.

Xu Moqian had just arrived as well and saw Zhan Qipei’s car stopping.

“Huh? Isn’t that Zhan Qipei’s car? Why is it here?”

No sooner had Xu Moqian spoken to himself than he saw Qiao Jing get out of the car.

Sister Jing? Why was she in Zhan Qipei’s car? Did Zhan let her be driven here?

While Xu Moqian was thinking this, he suddenly heard Zhan Qipei’s voice coming from the car.

“The cake.”
