Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 300: Chapter 290 Zhan Qipei Notices Something Unusual about Qiao Jing’s Belly

After a warm bowl of noodles hit his stomach, Zhan Qipei felt himself relax.

He had taken on the task of washing the dishes, and Qiao Jing had returned to her own room.

As usual, Zhan Qipei prepared a cup of hot milk and brought it into Qiao Jing’s bedroom, placing it on the table.

“Drink some hot milk before sleep. If you catch a cold, make sure to tell me. I’m just next door, and you can come find me,” he said.

Qiao Jing hummed softly and turned a page of her medical book.

It was then that Zhan Qipei returned to his own room, set an alarm, and started working on the tasks for the next day.

...

When the alarm went off, Zhan Qipei immediately shut his laptop and tiptoed to the door of Qiao Jing’s room.

He had set the alarm for the time Qiao Jing usually fell asleep. Every time it rang, he would go to her bedroom door to check on her.

After making sure there was no sound from inside, Zhan Qipei gently placed his hand on the doorknob and slowly turned the lock.

Only the night light was on in the bedroom; Qiao Jing had turned off the main light.

With the experience of the past few times, Zhan Qipei expertly made his way to the side of Qiao Jing’s bed and carefully climbed up.

As he lay beside Qiao Jing, he noticed her brows were tightly furrowed and her hand rested on her stomach, curling herself up.

Suddenly, Zhan Qipei noticed something; the tight sweater outlined Qiao Jing’s figure, and he saw her stomach seemed a bit protruded.

Had she gained weight recently?

But hadn’t Qiao Jing said she doesn’t gain weight easily? And with the Intestine Cleansing Tea, how could she have put on weight…

His thoughts were interrupted by a soft grunt from Qiao Jing. He leaned down, intending to smooth her brow but hesitated, fearing he might wake her.

The thought of his loss of control that evening filled him with a deep remorse. After going home, Qiao Jing hadn’t mentioned it, but he knew he was at fault and had let her get drenched in the rain.

Although he wanted to tamper with Xu Moqian, considering both Qiao Jing’s feelings and the relationship between the Zhan and Xu families, he could not bring himself to act against Moqian.

“Hmm…”

Qiao Jing muttered softly in her sleep, her brow furrowing tighter as she shrank into the covers.

Zhan Qipei lay next to Qiao Jing, gently cradling her stomach to warm her, the slight bulge under his hands reminding him.

Her stomach was a bit larger than before.

Yet, she hadn’t eaten much that evening. Surely she hadn’t really gained weight, he thought.

Was Qiao Jing just bragging to him, fearing he might not like it if she was overweight?

But to his surprise, Qiao Jing, usually so reserved, also had this adorable side where she was boasting to him.
