Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 550 - 539: Unexpected Touch!
Chapter 550 -539: Unexpected Touch!
“This taste is too bland, this isn’t spicy enough…”
Upon hearing Zhan Nanqing’s comments, Qiao Jing initially thought that Zhan Qipei had made a mistake with the seasoning. She tried the criticized dishes one by one, but found that the flavors were just right.
She glanced at Zhan Nanqing, who was complaining while enjoying her food, and smiled helplessly.

After the three of them finished dinner, they headed to the parking lot of the complex.
Zhan Qipei opened the passenger door for Qiao Jing, letting her get in first.
Qiao Jing looked out the window at Zhan Nanqing and remembered the last time Zhan Qipei had left her behind in the car.
To avoid such a scene from happening again, she rolled down the window and spoke to Zhan Nanqing outside:
“Get in.”
She still remembered the look on Zhan Nanqing’s face when she ended up inhaling exhaust fumes, finding it both amusing and a bit pitiful.
Zhan Qipei paused in his steps and glanced at Zhan Nanqing, his thin lips parting slightly.
“A driver will take you. You’ll take another car.”
He didn’t want anyone else to disturb his time alone with Qiao Jing.
If they hadn’t needed to go to the same place this time, his choice would still be the same as before, to drive away and leave the person behind.
After all, there was still a driver around, and knowing his sister, she would definitely take a car.
Zhan Nanqing, feeling indignant, glared at Zhan Qipei and without another word, opened the rear car door and got in.
“I’ll ride in the same car as you two. Why bother the driver to make a trip if it’s on the way?”
However… she was a bit worried. If she rode in the same car as the two up front,
would she turn into a superb, invincible third wheel?
Wouldn’t she then be able to light up the whole car?
But now, with her in the car, her brother probably wouldn’t do anything else to feed the dog…
Just as she thought this, she saw Zhan Qipei leaning towards Qiao Jing to help fasten her seatbelt.
Qiao Jing, seeing the man helping her with her seatbelt, remembered that she hadn’t fastened it right after getting in because she was worried Zhan Nanqing wouldn’t be able to get into the car and had started talking to her through the window.
“I can do it myself.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to fasten a seatbelt; she had just forgotten. The navigation would remind her when they started driving, and she’d remember then.
Besides, with another person still on the seat, Zhan Qipei, that scoundrel, was leaning right in front of her, reaching out to fasten her seatbelt.
Zhan Qipei, as if he hadn’t heard her, continued to fasten Qiao Jing’s seatbelt, his fingertips grazing over her body as if unintentionally.
Seeing Zhan Qipei’s leisurely manner, Qiao Jing didn’t hesitate to raise her hand to swat away his hand and fasten her seatbelt herself.
“Snap!”
Qiao Jing’s hand hit the back of Zhan Qipei’s hand, but his palm ended up on her chest because of this.
Zhan Nanqing, sitting in the backseat, immediately covered her face with her hand.
This scene was nearly blinding to her single-dog eyes; she had thought there might be some restraint with her around.
Yet, not only was there no restraint, but it was even more explosive, resulting in a hand landing right there because of an accident!
She shouldn’t have gotten in the car!!
This isn’t a kindergarten bus, she wanted to get off!!!
A crack appeared on Qiao Jing’s otherwise expressionless face as she saw that Zhan Qipei still had no intention of moving his hand, and she said emphatically:
“Zhan, Qipei! Take your hand off!”
She had only intended to swat Zhan Qipei’s hand away, but an accident like this happened instead.
An accident was one thing, but Zhan Qipei, that jerk, didn’t seem to want to remove his hand at all?!
Most importantly, Zhan Nanqing definitely saw that scene just now, who knows what Zhan Nanqing is thinking right now.
Only then did Zhan Qipei remove his hand from Qiao Jing’s body, recalling the soft touch, a flicker of pleasure passed through the depth of his dark eyes.
“It wasn’t me who moved my hand.”
He glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Zhan Nanqing was covering her eyes at the moment, so he simply raised the divider between the driver’s seat and the back seats.
He couldn’t let anyone disturb him and Qiao Jing at this time.
Originally covering her eyes in the back, Zhan Nanqing heard the sound of the divider going up and paused, then moved her hands away.
Seeing the divider in front of her, an incredulous expression appeared on her face.
No way?!
Why would he raise the divider?!!
Meanwhile, Qiao Jing turned her head to glance at the divider, then her gaze fell on Zhan Qipei, her red lips slightly parting.
“It was just an accident just now, why didn’t you remove your hand? Also, why did you raise the divider?”
With what had just happened, it was already enough to cause a misunderstanding, the fact that Zhan Qipei decided to raise the divider at this time, wouldn’t it make things worse?
What if Zhan Nanqing misunderstood?
Zhan Qipei straightened up and buckled his seatbelt.
“I forgot for a moment, as for the divider, I didn’t want her to disturb us.”
With an exasperated roll of her eyes, Qiao Jing restored the divider to its original state.
“What’s there to disturb? If you’re not driving, Nanqing and I will take a cab instead.”
She noticed that Zhan Qipei, that jerk, now seemed to be less and less hesitant about lying. Did he really forget to move his hand?
Could it really be that…
Qiao Jing sighed and stopped thinking further; otherwise, she would be the one getting angry again.
Zhan Qipei started the car and headed towards the golf course.
Sitting in the back seat, Zhan Nanqing saw the divider restored to its original state and gazed incessantly at the two with a gossip-filled face.
“Cough, cough… Um, there’s someone else here in the back seat, be mindful of that, and I’m still single, by the way.”
In just those few seconds, her mind had already imagined various scenes not suitable for children.
At that time, she was wondering, what if it took her brother a long time? Wouldn’t that delay attending the banquet?
But now, it seemed like nothing had happened between the two, and suddenly she felt somewhat disappointed. Why was that?
With a twitch of her lips, Qiao Jing spoke out to clarify:
“Don’t overthink it, it was an accident.”
Just as Zhan Nanqing was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang, and she had to check the message first.
After unlocking her phone, she found that Lu Zijiao had created a group chat for a gathering, and everyone was chatting inside.
Zhan Nanqing was also ready to join in but then she saw a name she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Lou Xinrou.
Zhan Nanqing frowned, glanced at the screen for a while, then looked at Qiao Jing again.
“Qiao Jing, Lou Xinrou was previously locked up by her grandfather, it looks like her confinement is over, and she is attending today’s gathering too.”
Qiao Jing responded indifferently with a “Hmm” and said nothing more.
She didn’t care who was attending; she was just worried about Zhan Nanqing being lonely and was accompanying her.
