Pregnant After Healing the Alpha Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Chapter 247 Could it be pregnancy?

Su Manhan muttered under her breath, wondering why her daughter was acting so strange. One moment she was looking at her, and the next at Qiao Jing. What was going on?

Wait a minute… Qiao Jing?

Suddenly, a phrase she had once uttered flashed in Su Manhan's mind.

“If you can clinch this deal, I might as well call you my sister.”

Qiao Jing noticed Zhan Nanqing's gaze and looked back at her with a hint of confusion.

Zhan Nanqing's eyes immediately turned to Su Manhan, as if to remind her of something.

Qiao Jing followed Zhan Nanqing's line of sight, giving Su Manhan a casual glance.

By that moment, Su Manhan had already recalled the words she had said earlier. She felt slightly guilty when Qiao Jing looked at her and worried that she might actually have to call her 'sister'.

Fortunately, Qiao Jing's gaze didn't linger on her for long, and Su Manhan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mom, didn't you just…” Zhan Nanqing saw that Su Manhan wasn't reacting and began to speak.

Before she could finish, Su Manhan quickly interrupted her, “No talking while eating!”

Su Manhan gave Zhan Nanqing a stern glance. Couldn't her daughter understand? She was actually thinking about bringing that matter up again.

She had said it offhand, not expecting Qiao Jing would really be able to do it.

The others at the table looked towards Su Manhan, sensing something subtly off in the atmosphere.

Of course, Qiao Jing remembered Su Manhan's words, but she didn't want to make Zhan Qipei's mother feel uncomfortable.

After the meal, Su Manhan scurried back to her room. She racked her brain but couldn't figure out what relationship Qiao Jing had with Wonderful Hall.

It was then that Su Manhan received a message from Lou Xinrou.

“Aunt Su, I heard that Qiao Jing managed to close a deal for Brother Pei? And it was with Wonderful Hall? What's going on?”

“I want to know what's going on too. With just one phone call, she got the other party to agree to cooperate with Qipei.”

Su Manhan didn't know how Lou Xinrou got the information so quickly.

In fact, deep down, Su Manhan had always wanted Lou Xinrou to be her daughter-in-law, which was why she shared various matters with her.

After all, Qiao Jing's background couldn't hold a candle to Lou Xinrou's, not even a bit. They were worlds apart.

With her face full of disbelief, Lou Xinrou couldn't believe that even Su Manhan was out of the loop?

She tapped her keyboard and replied, “Could she have got herself involved with the big boss of Wonderful Hall? Perhaps he's keeping her, and using her looks, she might have convinced him to help–that wouldn't be impossible.”

Su Manhan read Lou Xinrou's reply, pondered over it, and thought there might indeed be a possibility. She should be on guard and mention it to Qipei.

But this thought was quickly dismissed by Su Manhan. If she went to talk about this with Qipei, he might not believe here, and it could even cause friction between her and her son.

It would be better to keep an eye on Qiao Jing from now on. The last thing she wanted was for Qiao Jing to do something humiliating that could involve the Zhan Family.

Lou Xinrou saw that Su Manhan hadn't responded to her message and bit her lip in frustration before putting down her phone.

Inside the Overseas Group Company, Wu Xirui also received the news. The faint smile on his face disappeared, “Wonderful Hall cancelled their order?”

He had already negotiated everything with Wonderful Hall, and they were only one step away from signing the contract, but suddenly they gave the raw materials deal to Zhan Qipei?

The second shareholder of Wonderful Hall said with an embarrassed smile, “Fifth Master, it was our boss's decision, I can't interfere.”

The boss? Who was this boss? Why was he helping Zhan Qipei?

Wu Xirui was already feeling dissatisfied, but his tone betrayed no emotion, “Can I meet with the boss then?”

The second shareholder quickly agreed, “Please wait, Fifth Master. I'll call the boss and ask.”

The call ended, and Wu Xirui's hand, resting on his office desk, began rhythmically tapping the surface as he waited for a call back from the second shareholder.

The second shareholder didn't dare delay and immediately phoned Qiao Jing, “Boss, due to that order for medicinal material, Fifth Master wants to meet with you.”

“No,” Qiao Jing replied and hung up the phone.

The second shareholder, not daring to say anything else, simply relayed the message back to Wu Xirui with another call.

Wu Xirui's face visibly darkened at a rapid pace.

Who exactly was the big boss of Wonderful Hall? How could Zhan Qipei get her to cancel the deal that was nearly closed?

“Go check who the big boss of Wonderful Hall is?”

Wu Xirui ordered.

Several days later.

Qiao Jing was concentrating on her work when suddenly, a wave of nausea surged in her stomach, and she immediately covered her mouth and rushed into the restroom.

“Ugh–”

After retching into the washbasin for quite some time without throwing up anything, Qiao Jing furrowed her brow and began to recall what she had eaten that day.

She couldn't find any incompatible foods on her menu for the day or any dishes that were prepared incorrectly.

Moreover, since she had purchased the vegetables, there should be no chance of food incompatibility. So what was going on?

“What's the matter here?” Xu Moqian's voice came from behind her.

He hadn't seen her when he came in but went over to the restroom when he heard noises, just in time to find Qiao Jing retching over the basin.

He was startled and walked over with a few tissues from the desk, offering them to Qiao Jing.

She waved her hand, her face pale, “I'm fine.”

Just as she was about to step out of the restroom, she turned back and retched a few more times.

Xu Moqian's eyes instantly widened, and a thought spontaneously popped into his head, “Could it be pregnancy?!”

To Xu Moqian's brainless comment, Qiao Jing gave him an eye-roll as a response.

After seeing Qiao Jing's reaction, Xu Moqian breathed a sigh of relief, “I was just kidding. Did something you ate cause this?”

The thought that had just occurred to him had sprung from nowhere, but after calming down, he thought it over and felt it was rather unlikely.

In his mind, Qiao Jing, such a perfect woman, wouldn't likely have children so soon, and there was no man worthy of her. She could live carefree on her own.

Xu Moqian patted his chest; he was merely scaring himself.

Zhan Nanqing walked in with documents in hand and overheard their conversation, “But what if there really is a child?”

Her gaze fixed intensely on Qiao Jing's abdomen. She genuinely hoped for a pregnancy; then she could be an aunt.

After hearing Zhan Nanqing's words, Xu Moqian began to doubt again. Why would she feel nauseous without reason?

His eyes also fell on Qiao Jing's abdomen, his expression one of confusion.

“Why don't you take your pulse to see if you're pregnant?” Zhan Nanqing suggested.

After all, Qiao Jing was Divine Doctor Jing, who simply needed to lift a finger to know the condition of her body.

However, Qiao Jing did not listen to Zhan Nanqing's words. If she took her pulse, it could be seen as an admission of guilt or even an acknowledgment that she had been involved with Zhan Qipei.

But in fact, she had been involved with Zhan Qipei. This thought made her frown again, and she sat back down at her own seat to continue working, ignoring the two people behind her.
