Chapter 212: Chapter 205: You Want a Child?

Qiao Jing recalled the several encounters she had had with Wu Xirui, and she had long suspected that things were too coincidental.

However, up to now, Wu Xirui had done nothing to harm her, so she had not delved deeper into the matter.

Now that she thought about it, everything suddenly became clear.

Suddenly, Qiao Jing thought of something; her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Zhan Qipei.

“You said that the person who tried to assassinate you in Autumn Water Village—”

She stopped there because, firstly, she had no evidence, and secondly, it was Zhan Qipei’s family matter, and it wasn’t appropriate for her, an outsider, to make wild guesses here.

“I’ve thought about it too, but there’s no evidence,” Zhan Qipei sat down, half-lowering his eyelids, his brow furrowed as he thought analytically about the matter.

Qiao Jing’s attention was drawn to the droplets of water condensing on the man’s hair. The droplets grew until the strands of hair could no longer hold them, and they fell.

Qiao Jing clearly saw a barely visible expression appear on the man’s face.

It must have been because the droplet was too cold, which caused the man a slight discomfort.

“Don’t think too much about it, go take a shower quickly, be careful of catching a cold.”

Qiao Jing’s words made Zhan Qipei put all his worries behind him, and a deadly enchanting smile bloomed on his face. He leaned toward Qiao Jing, resting his hand on the back of the sofa behind her, enveloping her in his embrace.

“Are you concerned about me?”

At this moment, the man’s posture was too overbearing. Qiao Jing hated people who were domineering toward her, but the man’s face wore a gentle and indulgent smile, making it seem as though he was cradling her in his palms, afraid she would fall, cherishing her as if she would melt in his mouth.

It made her hard to start disliking him.

Qiao Jing felt a bit uncomfortable with the man speaking to her from such a close distance. Oddly, her heartbeat inexplicably sped up a bit.

Qiao Jing pushed the man’s shoulders, creating some distance, “Go take your shower quickly. We are living under the same roof, and if you catch a cold, you might pass it to me. It’s fine if I get sick, but the lab is mostly filled with older professors, and it would be terrible if they caught it from me.”

“Your fault,” Qiao Jing added.

The smile on Zhan Qipei’s face widened slightly, “You’re putting such a big hat on my head, I can’t bear that. Alright, I’ll go take a shower.”

Zhan Qipei got up, and Qiao Jing also stood.

Just as Qiao Jing was supporting herself on the sofa, preparing to stand up with Zhan Qipei, he suddenly pretended to slip, toppling her onto the sofa.
