Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 119: Chapter 113: Did She Save Zhan Qipei?

“Qiao Jing, you must remember, you are now Madam Zhan.”

Huh?

Qiao Jing was taken aback, her gaze skeptically sizing up Zhan Qipei. She couldn’t make sense of the intensity in his eyes as he stared at her without blinking, his serious and earnest face leaving her puzzled about what suddenly got into him.

“Did you not sleep well?”

Zhan Qipei took a deep breath before responding, “You now—”

“Buzz buzz buzz—” The vibrating sound of a cellphone interrupted Zhan Qipei mid-sentence.

“You should take the call first.” Qiao Jing withdrew her hand and then turned to walk toward the approaching car.

Zhan Qipei took out his phone and began to follow Qiao Jing while answering the call.

“What did you say?” Zhan Qipei stopped in surprise. “You found that woman? How is that possible?!”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing immediately turned her head towards the phone in Zhan Qipei’s hand, squinting her eyes slightly to hide the astonishment within.

“Where is she?” Zhan Qipei asked.

“I brought her to you.”

Just as Lu Zijiao’s voice fell, Zhan Qipei saw a car slowly stopping in front of the gate.

Zhan Qipei and Qiao Jing almost simultaneously looked toward the opening car door, and then they saw a beautiful young girl alighting from the vehicle.

Was it her who saved him?

Impossible, it should have been Qiao Jing.

Upon seeing Zhan Qipei, the young girl smiled at him then gracefully approached.

“I hear you’ve been looking for me?”

Qiao Jing took a step back, relinquishing the stage while covertly observing the young girl.

She didn’t understand why the girl would impersonate her.

Moreover, her effortless performance suggested professional training.

This made Qiao Jing even more perplexed. What benefit could impersonating her bring to this young girl, or rather, to the people behind her?

“Was it you who saved me?” Zhan Qipei asked, his deep, oceanic eyes fixated on the young girl.

Unruffled, the young girl nodded, “My name is Lan Yinyin. I went to Autumn Water Village to visit relatives and saw you being chased in the cornfield, so I helped you. Luckily, I know a bit of medicine, so I performed the surgery to remove the bullet.”

Lan Yinyin showed no signs of faltering throughout her explanation, not giving away a single flaw.

“You really know medicine?” Zhan Qipei asked coldly.

Lan Yinyin presented her professional physician’s certification to Zhan Qipei.

After skimming through it, Zhan Qipei handed it to Gao He standing beside him, “Verify this.”

“Yes.”

“Do you know martial arts?” Zhan Qipei continued to inquire.

Lan Yinyin brought out her Black Belt Ninth Dan certificate and handed it to Zhan Qipei once more.

Ten minutes later, both certifications had been verified and were indeed authentic.

Qiao Jing, the onlooker, had guessed that the two certifications were genuine the moment Lan Yinyin presented them.

If she had come prepared, how could Zhan Qipei possibly find any flaws so easily?

While Qiao Jing was contemplating this, she caught a glimpse of Zhan Qipei looking her way from the corner of her eye.

Why was he still looking at her? With someone already impersonating her, he couldn’t still suspect that she was the one who had saved him that day, could he?

Zhan Qipei’s gaze shifted from Qiao Jing back onto Lan Yinyin.

Even though the girl admitted it and there were no discrepancies anywhere, his instinct told him that she wasn’t the one who had saved him that day.

“Do you know why I was looking for you?”

Lan Yinyin knew this part. Before she took any action, the person behind the scenes had briefed her.

They said that Zhan Qipei had developed feelings for the girl who saved him and wanted to find her and marry her.

“I don’t know.” Lan Yinyin shook her head.

Zhan Qipei’s lips curled into a faint, almost imperceptible arc, “Because you hit me.”

Upon hearing these words, Lan Yinyin’s pupils unconsciously dilated a fraction.

It wasn’t that her training intensity was inadequate, it was that Zhan Qipei’s words were too shocking.

So the person behind her had it wrong, Zhan Qipei secretly sending people to search everywhere for that girl was not to marry her, but to seek vengeance?

No way?

Lan Yinyin’s heart raced uncontrollably, yet she managed to maintain calm on her face.

“I, I at that time—”

Why did she hit him at that time? Didn’t she save him? Saving someone and then hitting them, isn’t that crazy?

Now what was she supposed to say to that?

Just as Lan Yinyin was racking her brains for an excuse, Zhan Qipei spoke up, “When you laid hands on me, it was also for my own good, so I won’t hold this against you.”

At these words, Lan Yinyin let out a long, relieved sigh in her heart.

“I’m glad you understand,” Lan Yinyin said, taking advantage of the situation to back down.

“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.” Lan Yinyin’s move to retreat as advance was somewhat risky. But she was confident that Zhan Qipei would definitely not let her just walk away, otherwise he wouldn’t have had people secretly search for that girl.

“Wait a moment,” Zhan Qipei called out to Lan Yinyin.

She knew it!

Lan Yinyin internally rejoiced, turning back to look at Zhan Qipei without revealing anything, “Is there anything else?”

Zhan Qipei’s half-sunken and intelligent eyes opened, “You saved my life, and I haven’t had the chance to repay you. What would you like? Feel free to set your terms, and I’ll make it happen.”

Qiao Jing frowned slightly. Zhan Qipei was very good at concealing his emotions, so for a while she couldn’t tell if he truly believed the other party?

At this moment, Qiao Jing felt somewhat conflicted. On one hand, she hoped Zhan Qipei believed it, so he would stop pestering her.

On the other hand, this girl called Lan Yinyin deliberately approaching Zhan Qipei likely had ulterior motives. If this person was an assassin or something similar, and she, knowing the truth, didn’t inform Zhan Qipei, resulting in an incident, she would feel somewhat guilty.

Lan Yinyin fiddled coquettishly with her hair, tucking a strand behind her ear, appearing very innocent.

“I don’t have any specific terms, but there is indeed something you can help me with.”

“Speak,” Zhan Qipei uttered indifferently.

Lan Yinyin looked up towards the apartments in front of her, “My workplace is nearby, but I don’t have the extra money. I’d like to rent a place here.”

At this, Qiao Jing’s gaze narrowed. It seems Lan Yinyin wanted to get closer to Zhan Qipei.

And, from Lan Yinyin’s earlier demeanor, it appeared she was trying to seduce Zhan Qipei.

So, was her goal to become the Madam of the Family Head of the Zhan Family?

Zhan Qipei turned to Tang Yan and ordered, “Clean up the house next door for her to move in.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Originally when Zhan Qipei moved over, not wanting to be disturbed by unnecessary noise, he bought all the surrounding houses.

“Then thank you,” Lan Yinyin smiled sweetly at Zhan Qipei.

She hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly. Being close to the water gets the moon first; by being closer, she’d get Zhan Qipei sooner.

As for Zhan Qipei’s new wife…

Lan Yinyin looked towards Qiao Jing, but with just a glance, she withdrew her disdainful gaze.

What’s the use of being pretty? They had lived together that long, and she’d failed to secure Zhan Qipei, quite useless really.

Just watch, it won’t take many days for her to have your husband lying in her bed.

Lan Yinyin’s fleeting provocative look was clearly caught by Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing lightly raised her delicate eyebrows, glancing sideways at Zhan Qipei.

The woman had an ulterior motive, how should she warn him?

If she spoke out directly, she would expose herself.

While Qiao Jing was caught in her dilemma, Zhan Qipei’s scrutinizing gaze fell on her face.

“What are you thinking about?”
