Chapter 328: Chapter 318: Anxiously Protecting Qiao Jing’s Belly

Qiao Jing asked with some concern.

“Are you alright?”

She was worried she had crushed Zhan Qipei and didn’t dare to move an inch, remaining in that posture without budging.

But she suddenly noticed that her stomach was being cradled by a pair of large hands.

When Qiao Jing fell, Zhan Qipei’s first reaction was to protect her belly, fearing that the fall would affect the baby.

His gaze fixed anxiously on Qiao Jing, he asked in a worried tone.

...

“Did you hurt yourself anywhere? Are you uncomfortable in any way? You get up first, and I’ll help you sit down and rest a bit.”

This time was different from before, as Qiao Jing was pregnant, and the worry in his heart outweighed the stirrings of any other thoughts he might have had.

He carefully helped Qiao Jing to her feet, his face tense as he guided her to sit on the soft sofa.

Qiao Jing eyed Zhan Qipei with some suspicion.

Why had he protected her belly when she fell?

“I’m fine, but why did you put your hand on my stomach earlier?”

Zhan Qipei’s heartbeat missed a beat, a flicker of panic briefly flashed in his dark eyes, but he quickly concealed this fleeting emotion.

He had to pretend to be natural in front of Qiao Jing, otherwise the woman might notice something was amiss.

“I wanted to protect your waist to lessen the impact, considering you were just discharged from the hospital not too long ago and had overexerted yourself the other day, I was worried about you overstraining yourself.”

The man’s explanation was quite plausible, and the fact that she was pregnant had been very well concealed, so it was unlikely that Zhan Qipei would discover it.

Thinking this, Qiao Jing then dispelled her doubts, withdrew her suspicious gaze, and not wanting to waste any more time, she got up and left the resting room with Zhan Qipei.

Lou Xinrou, whose clothes had remained intact despite Qiao Jing being gone for so long, followed them into the resting room.

But Wu Xirui was even faster; seeing that the door to the resting room was closed, she didn’t dare to barge in recklessly.
