Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 331: Chapter 321 Lin Xiuxiang is Pregnant
 

Qiao Jing stared at the odd-looking item on the cutting board, the corners of her mouth twitching imperceptibly.

She had already slowed down the pace so that he could clearly see each step, yet the result of Zhan Qipei’s efforts was too tragic for words…

She had no choice but to hold Zhan Qipei’s hand and start to teach him how to knead the dough.

Zhan Qipei stared at Qiao Jing’s slender hands, which could only cover half of his, but the soft touch was very satisfying to him.

Tang Yan, standing to the side, widened his eyes when he heard Zhan Qipei claim he couldn’t learn.

He looked down at the bun he had wrapped, then at the shapeless thing Zhan Qipei had made, and mumbled to himself.

His boss learned things fast, and it was just a bun—how could he not learn it?

It must be an act!

Tang Yan withdrew his gaze, realizing that they were married people, and he could guess what the boss had in mind.

It was nothing more than wanting to have more contact with Miss Qiao.

He shifted his feet and sidled up to Lin Xiuxiang.

Lin Xiuxiang suddenly felt her vision blur and a throbbing pain at her temples. Just as she was about to take a sip of water, she lost control and fell backward.

Tang Yan caught a glimpse of her falling figure in the corner of his eye, his eyes widening as he quickly stepped forward, steadying Lin Xiuxiang.

“Xiangxiang!”

But Lin Xiuxiang had already slipped into a brief faint and couldn’t respond to Tang Yan.

The incident happened so suddenly that Qiao Jing, seeing Lin Xiuxiang faint, had her eyes flicker and her face filled with concern.

She couldn’t care less about the flour on her hands, she wiped them hastily on her clothes and hurried to Tang Yan’s side.

“Xiangxiang?! Help her to the bed to lie down!”

Tang Yan immediately picked Lin Xiuxiang up, carefully laid her on the bed, his tone filled with anxiety.

“Miss Qiao, I’m going to call an ambulance.”

Qiao Jing stopped him and placed her finger tips on Lin Xiuxiang’s pulse.

Waiting for an ambulance would be too late.

Zhan Qipei furrowed his brows and remained silent.

Tang Yan, on the other hand, was looking at Qiao Jing worriedly, as if his breath was about to stop.

In his rush, he had forgotten that Miss Qiao was Divine Doctor Jing.

Without Qiao Jing speaking, he didn’t dare to disturb her, pacing anxiously in place.

Seconds later, Qiao Jing moved her hand away from Lin Xiuxiang’s arm, the worry in her eyes vanishing, replaced with astonishment and joy.

She was going to be an aunt!

“Xiangxiang is pregnant. She fainted just now due to overexertion. Let her rest for a few days.”

Hearing this news, Tang Yan’s eyes opened wide in shock, his concern instantly turning to ecstatic joy, and he began to babble.

“Really? Really? Xiangxiang is pregnant? How did I not notice, I am really… Xiangxiang didn’t mention the pregnancy, maybe she doesn’t know either?”

Qiao Jing stood up, making room for Tang Yan, then gave him a few instructions.

“Yes, the child is not even a month old yet, Xiangxiang probably doesn’t know she is pregnant either. From today on, you need to take good care of Xiangxiang and not let her overwork herself.”

Tang Yan nodded eagerly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“I know, I know! Miss Qiao, don’t worry at all!!”

He gazed incredulously at Lin Xiuxiang, took a few steps forward, and sat by the bed.

After looking at Lin Xiuxiang’s belly for a long while, he carefully lifted his hand and gently touched her lower abdomen.

Tang Yan turned his head back excitedly.

“Boss, I’m going to be a father! Miss Qiao, are there any other precautions? Besides avoiding exertion, what should I prepare to nourish her body?”

Mid-sentence, a question sprang to his mind, and he took a tentative look at Zhan Qipei.

Previously, when he was with Xiangxiang, he had felt that the boss’s eyes were a bit odd when he saw the two of them together.

Now that he was about to be a father, and yet the boss and Miss Qiao had made no progress.

His boss might think he was showing off, and then hold a grudge against him.

No, no, can’t mention this in front of the boss anymore. Better to keep my distance from him; otherwise, I might not be able to keep my job.

Zhan Qipei didn’t respond to Tang Yan’s comment. He raised an eyebrow, what was there to talk to him about?

He had already become a father, and not just to one child but three!

Tang Yan had just become a father, far too slow in comparison.

Thinking this, he proudly glanced at Qiao Jing’s belly and couldn’t help the corners of his mouth from curling up, almost wishing he could walk over and touch the woman’s stomach right then.

But now was not the time.

Tang Yan felt his boss’s gaze was a bit strange. Why was he staring at Miss Qiao’s belly?

But staring at Miss Qiao’s belly wouldn’t do any good; he couldn’t stare a child into existence.

In order to keep his job, he silently shifted his gaze and focused intently on Lin Xiuxiang’s belly.

“Miss Qiao, can Xiuxiang drink the soup you made?”

Qiao Jing nodded, joy in her eyes as she seriously instructed a few points.

“Yes, it’s exactly what she needs to nourish her body. Also, make sure she doesn’t eat anything cold, avoids overworking, and buy some prenatal milk powder and folic acid pills to keep at home…”

Tang Yan listened earnestly with a serious face, eager to remember every single word without missing a detail.

“Okay, thank you, Miss Qiao.”

Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes were fixed on Qiao Jing’s belly, the tenderness in them almost overflowing.

Before Qiao Jing noticed, he withdrew his gaze and inquired of the woman.

“How many babies is she carrying?”

Qiao Jing was stunned for a moment, a look of blankness flashing across her face, followed by her eyebrows knitting together as she looked at Zhan Qipei with suspicion.

Why was he suddenly asking this question? Asking about multiple babies?

Does being pregnant necessarily mean having twins or more?

The thought suddenly crossed Qiao Jing’s mind: what if she was carrying triplets?

Could it be—

No sooner did the idea occur to her than she dismissed it.

Impossible! She had kept her pregnancy well hidden. Zhan Nanqing wouldn’t tell him; there was no way he could know.

He must be just casually asking.

Tang Yan’s voice rose,

“Right, right, Miss Qiao, I also want to know how many children there are. Maybe there will be twins? If so, I’ll be a father to two children—”

He swallowed the rest of his words, turning his gaze to Zhan Qipei.

He had almost let it slip. If his boss got angry over this, it would be all over.

But his boss still had that same unchanging icy countenance, yet why did he feel he could see pride in his boss’s eyes?

Huh?

No way?

Why would his boss be proud?

Zhan Qipei knew what Tang Yan had left unsaid, and he snorted internally.

Twins were no match for his triplets. He had three children, three!

After coming back to her senses, Qiao Jing answered Tang Yan’s question.

“One.”

Tang Yan uttered an “oh,” suddenly remembering the soup still simmering in the kitchen.

He immediately stood up, checked on the kitchen, found the soup ready, ladled out a bowl, and brought it back to the room.

“I’ll take care of Xiangxiang, Miss Qiao; you continue to teach the boss how to make buns.”

Zhan Qipei sent Tang Yan a pleased look.

Qiao Jing agreed, and led Zhan Qipei back to the kitchen.
