Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 596 - 585: Qiao Jing Crossdresses Again

Zhan Nanqing slapped the sofa hard, grinding her teeth as she spoke:

"First, he put on a surprised look, saying how heartbroken he was to see my injured foot and wanted to take care of me personally. That wasn’t enough—he immediately put on a fake expression and, while talking, tried to lend me a hand and escort me to the research institute."

When Qiao Jing heard that Zhou Yunze had tried to physically support Zhan Nanqing, she furrowed her brows tightly.

"And then? Did he end up touching you?"

She had kept dressing up as a man, including the last time, to keep Zhou Yunze away from Zhan Nanqing, and she could feel that her warnings had indeed had an effect.

But this time Zhou Yunze had actually gone directly to Purple Garden, which definitely indicated a problem.

Zhan Nanqing rolled her eyes speechlessly, grabbed a cushion from beside her, and started to jab it furiously, occasionally slapping it a few times as if it were Zhou Yunze.

"That was right outside my front door. How could he have had a chance to touch me? I couldn’t stand the sight of him and kicked him out without a word."

Qiao Jing’s cool gaze grew slightly heavier, and after two seconds of silence, she continued:

"Starting today, remember to keep an eye on the area around your house. If he has shown up once, it’s possible there will be a next time."

She didn’t ask about Zhan Nanqing’s and Zhou Yunze’s love history because since the two had broken up, there must have been personal reasons for it; however, she believed that it was right to not disturb each other after a breakup.

Incessant pestering like Zhou Yunze was doing was not appropriate at all.

It seemed like she needed to find another time to meet with Zhou Yunze again and clarify things with him.

Zhan Nanqing nodded vigorously, not forgetting to punch the cushion again and again.

"I get it. If he comes once, I’ll fend him off once—I mean, send him away once."

Qiao Jing had thought she would need to find time tomorrow or in a few days to dress up as a man again to help Zhan Nanqing meet with Zhou Yunze, as she was a bit busy these days.

But that afternoon, just as work was about to end, Zhan Nanqing received a phone call, prompting her to dress up as a man sooner than expected.

Zhan Nanqing glanced at her phone and saw an unknown number calling, feeling an ominous premonition.

She originally didn’t want to answer, but her hand slipped accidentally and she hit ’answer’, so she had to speak up.

"Hello? Who is this?"

Qiao Jing was changing into her work clothes, diverting some attention to Zhan Nanqing’s actions.

Originally, Zhan Nanqing was beating the cushion while answering the phone, but whatever was said on the other end of the line prompted her to slam the cushion down on the sofa.

"Screw off, don’t make me swear at you. Try calling again, I dare you! Zhou Yunze, how shameless can you be? We’ve broken up and you’re still clinging on. When did I become aware that the noble Zhou scion liked to eat his own vomit, oh no, I’m not your vomit; I’m your dad!"

After hearing Zhan Nanqing’s words, Qiao Jing furrowed her brows tightly, her gaze falling on the phone.

She didn’t immediately speak up but was curious to see what Zhou Yunze would say next.

Then she saw Zhan Nanqing’s expression suddenly darken as she snapped irritably: ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Aren’t you annoying? Expecting me to have one last meal with you? I eat with you and then you’ll stop harassing me? I don’t buy your crap!!"

Qiao Jing pressed her lips together, quickly stepped beside Zhan Nanqing, and took the phone from her, lowering her voice by several tones.

"Mr. Zhou, I think I made myself very clear last time. Please stop harassing Nanqing."

Zhou Yunze didn’t expect the person on the line to suddenly change to Qiao Linting; he was stunned for a moment.

After recognizing the voice on the other end, he couldn’t help but feel a bit intimidated, remembering Qiao Linting’s oppressive aura and alarming gaze during their last negotiation.

But despite that, he couldn’t simply give up.

Zhou Yunze clenched his teeth and slowly began to speak.

"I know I just have something to discuss with Nanqing, I want to have one last meal with her. After that, I won’t bother her again, I have some words I need to say to her."

Upon reflection, being in a relationship with the daughter of the Zhan Family and having received a gift of water from her was enough to boast about for a lifetime. Although his family was also affluent and prestigious, there was still a considerable gap compared with the Zhan Family.

Now, he just wanted to find more reasons to get close to Zhan Nanqing. Initially, he hadn’t treasured their time together and played around; even though she hadn’t been very devoted either, they had at least been together.

Qiao Jing rolled her eyes in speechlessness, emphasizing the words "my girlfriend" as she spoke.

"If you have something to say, say it to me. Don’t involve my girlfriend in excessive communication."

She now truly understood why Zhan Nanqing was so annoyed by Zhou Yunze, annoyed enough to take out her frustration on a pillow as if it were him.

Zhou Yunze was already irritating enough with his repeated phone calls and harassment; now he came up with this ’final dinner,’ which sounded deceptive from the get-go. Anyone would be angered by this, let alone Zhan Nanqing.

Zhou Yunze clenched his fists and stubbornly said:

"I really have something I need to say to Nanqing, I just want to take her out for a meal—I’ve even reserved the restaurant."

Zhan Nanqing, seeing Qiao Jing still on the phone with Zhou Yunze, impatiently moved forward a few steps, wanting to take the phone back.

"Stop bothering with him. He can eat shit for all I care, let him go eat alone."

Qiao Jing shook her head, slightly turned to the side, dodging Zhan Nanqing’s hand, and began to speak slowly.

"Alright, I hope this is the last time you and Nanqing meet."

After dropping that statement, she hung up the phone and handed it back to Zhan Nanqing.

She was curious about what Zhou Yunze could possibly have to say that required a face-to-face meeting with Zhan Nanqing.

However, after this meal, she intended to cut off Zhou Yunze’s one-sided harassment for good.

Once the call ended, Zhan Nanqing stared at Qiao Jing with a stupefied expression.

"What do you mean ’the last time we meet’? Qiao Jing, you didn’t agree to have a meal with Zhou Yunze on my behalf, did you??"

Qiao Jing nodded and continued before Zhan Nanqing could speak:

"Yes, let’s see what he really wants to say."

If Zhou Yunze was allowed to continue harassing her like this, it wasn’t a solution; the best course of action would be to clarify matters with him face-to-face.

She was someone who addressed issues efficiently, often resolving them in just one or two attempts, so today would be the last time she would help Zhan Nanqing handle this, and they could put it behind them for good.

Zhan Nanqing huffed at the thought of Zhou Yunze’s face, becoming increasingly irritated.

"This is so annoying, I don’t want to have a meal with him. Just seeing him makes me nauseous."

Qiao Jing slightly arched her delicate brows, her expression indifferent as she spoke:

"If you don’t have a meal with him, he will keep pestering you. This is your chance to make things clear for the last time."

Zhan Nanqing irritably ruffled her hair, and suddenly remembered the last time Qiao Jing dressed as a man.
