Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 181: Chapter 174: Qiao Jing is the Center of Attention Again

The sound of knocking echoed.

“Nanqing, why aren’t you out yet? All the guests who should be here have arrived, we’re just waiting for you, the main character, to make your appearance,” Su Manhan called from outside.

Zhan Nanqing looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in an incredibly expensive gown, her neck and hands adorned with jewelry that was worth a fortune.

All these were carefully prepared by Su Manhan for Zhan Nanqing to celebrate her becoming a member of Professor Qiao’s Research Institute.

“How am I going to face Qiao Jing! Awooo—”

“Dang dang dang!”

“Nanqing, are you ready?” Su Manhan was still knocking on the door and urging.

“I’m ready! I’m ready!” Zhan Nanqing took a deep breath, embracing a do-or-die resolution, stepped out of the room, and joined Su Manhan to head to the banquet hall.

Zhan Nanqing’s gaze swept around, quickly locating Qiao Jing among the sea of people.

Qiao Jing was sitting on the sofa, surrounded by several little boys, each staring at Qiao Jing with wide eyes as if observing the most beautiful flower.

Fortunately, Qiao Jing wasn’t looking her way; otherwise, she wouldn’t have known how to respond to Qiao Jing’s gaze.

Should she hide? Or should she hide?

At that moment, Lou Xinrou, carrying an evening dress, came over.

“Nanqing, you look so beautiful today! You’re shining and radiant! Truly worthy of being today’s star of the show! You’re definitely the center of everyone’s attention.”

The center of everyone’s attention? Are you sure?

Zhan Nanqing’s gaze returned to Qiao Jing, who was being offered sweets by some boys, while others trotted over with servings of mousse pudding for her.
