Chapter 304: Chapter 294: Zhan Qipei Learns of Qiao Jing’s Pregnancy
A warmth flowed through Qiao Jing’s heart; he actually remembered that she disliked eating onions.
“Thank you.”
Without hesitating further, she put a chopstick full of onions into Zhan Qipei’s bowl and continued eating her meal as if relieved of a burden.
Zhan Qipei, acting as if it was nothing, directly ate the onions.
Lou Xinrou’s facial expression instantly darkened upon seeing this.
Wasn’t it said that he had a germ phobia? Why then could Qiao Jing’s Brother Pei eat it?

Moreover, her chopsticks hadn’t been used yet, and he had been disgusted by them. As for the ones Qiao Jing used, they might even have her saliva on them, why didn’t he find that disgusting?
Lou Xinrou’s grip on her chopsticks gradually tightened as she silently swallowed her anger.
After Qiao Jing had eaten half a bowl of rice, she furrowed her brows, looking at the unfinished rice in her bowl.
She was already full and yet reluctant to waste any food.
Qiao Jing rubbed her stomach, feeling really stuffed…
Zhan Qipei noticed her movements and paused his chopsticks.
“Are you full?”
Qiao Jing hummed in acknowledgment, reluctantly looking at the rest of her rice and sighed.
“I’ll eat a little more.”
She had just finished speaking and was about to reach for her chopsticks to finish it.
Suddenly, a hand reached out and took the bowl from her hands.
Qiao Jing paused and looked up at Zhan Qipei.
The man, without any hesitation, quickly ate all of her leftover rice.
Lou Xinrou, sitting opposite them, watched all this. Her Brother Pei even eating Qiao Jing’s leftovers, after having tolerated her picking the dishes!
Regardless, how could Qiao Jing not refuse when Brother Pei was willingly eating her leftovers?
How could she treat her Brother Pei like that?!
Lou Xinrou, feeling somewhat resentful, glanced at Zhan Qipei. Really, Brother Pei was spoiling Qiao Jing too much.
Her teeth itched with irritation, yet she couldn’t outright confront Qiao Jing.
Otherwise, she would have no excuse to come and see Brother Pei afterwards.
Fortunately, only about twenty more days remained, and after that, she could be with Brother Pei.
Besides, with Aunt Su’s help, Qiao Jing couldn’t possibly stay by Zhan Qipei’s side forever.
At this thought, Lou Xinrou glanced at Zhan Nanqing next to her, unable to believe that the friend she had played with since childhood could betray her.
But no matter, having Aunt Su as her strong support was enough!
Zhan Nanqing, watching Zhan Qipei eat the leftovers, dropped her chopsticks in shock.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Zhan Qipei, wondering if this was really her own brother.
Her brother was actually eating leftovers?!
He truly was pampering Qiao Jing to the skies!
Even the food her mother picked for him he was typically unwilling to eat, having a germophobia so extreme that if a single grain of rice even got a drop of sauce on it, her brother wouldn’t eat it.
She had considered more than once why someone could be so severely germophobic.
And now, looking at her brother enjoying Qiao Jing’s leftover rice without a hint of disgust, even seeming to enjoy it…
Zhan Nanqing blinked rapidly several times, making sure she wasn’t seeing things.
Yes, he was even enjoying it.
“Brother, I’m full.”
Zhan Nanqing put down her chopsticks, wondering how she could still eat now.
Just the sight of them feeding each other was enough to fill her up!
Zhan Qipei, without even looking up, hummed and completely cleaned out the last grain of rice from Qiao Jing’s bowl.
Zhan Nanqing was now completely dumbfounded. He wouldn’t even let go of a single grain of rice?
Was Qiao Jing’s leftover rice really that delicious?
She stood up to clean up her chopsticks, not able to stay in that place any longer, especially since she was already full.
Almost having been stuffed to death by their public display of affection.
Lou Xinrou also didn’t stay longer. Seeing Zhan Nanqing cleaning up the dishes, she immediately stood up to help.
She could no longer bear to watch Brother Pei and Qiao Jing together.
Qiao Jing was really too much!
After seeing them about to leave, Zhan Qipei put down his chopsticks and instructed Qiao Jing.
“I’ll go out to see them off. Leave the dishes until I get back, you rest well.”
Qiao Jing nodded, then got up and sat on the sofa in the living room.
After Zhan Qipei brought the two downstairs, he spoke to Zhan Nanqing.
“I have something to tell you.”
After he finished, he looked up at Lou Xinrou, his eyes clearly conveying a message.
Lou Xinrou caught on that he was going to say something she shouldn’t hear.
“Nanqing, I’ll go over there and wait for you.”
Then she walked ahead and stopped at the corner, standing by the wall ready to eavesdrop on their conversation.
What could it be that she shouldn’t hear?
Her intuition told her that it definitely had to do with Qiao Jing.
Zhan Nanqing was curious why her brother suddenly asked her to stay and specifically not to let Lou Xinrou hear.
What exactly did he want to say?
“What’s the matter, brother?”
Zhan Qipei’s expression became serious, looking straight at Zhan Nanqing with a scrutinizing gaze.
“I know everything, you and Qiao Jing have been hiding it from me; you think I don’t know anything? I just haven’t said anything.”
He had realized something was wrong when he was in the hospital; those two were hiding something from him. This was a chance to test it out.
He definitely couldn’t get anything out of Qiao Jing, but he could try with Zhan Nanqing.
Zhan Nanqing looked at Zhan Qipei in shock.
This meant.
He knew everything!
No way, did Qiao Jing mention it to her brother?
No no no!
This thought was immediately denied by Zhan Nanqing herself.
If Qiao Jing had told him herself, there would be no need for her to keep it a secret.
So it must be that her brother was exceptionally clever and guessed it himself.
Thinking this, Zhan Nanqing sighed.
Zhan Nanqing scratched her head and sighed helplessly.
“Brother, it’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, Qiao Jing asked me not to say, and I only found out about it recently.
It was when Qiao Jing fainted last time, I took her to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told me she was pregnant, I was stunned.”
Zhan Qipei was extremely shocked; a huge turmoil appeared on his usually calm face, and he clenched the hands that were resting on his thighs, thinking he had heard wrong.
Wasn’t she taking birth control pills? Taking birth control pills means she doesn’t want children, doesn’t it?
Then why would she not abort the child and instead keep it?
Why was Qiao Jing still keeping the child?
As Zhan Qipei was guessing all the possibilities in his mind, Zhan Nanqing’s voice rang in his ears again.
“I’ve been very conflicted inside, all this time I’ve been considering whether to tell you or not;
But Xinrou really likes you, she’s told me more than once that she wants to marry you, but Qiao Jing is pregnant, and she’s not just pregnant with one.
It’s three babies! Triplets!!”
Zhan Nanqing wrestled with the strap of her bag, continuing to speak.
“We can’t really wait until divorce day and have Qiao Jing walk away with three children, right? It’s too far-fetched for her to raise three children alone.”
Zhan Qipei’s mouth opened, a strange light flickering in his dark eyes as a storm surged in his heart, overwhelming him.
“Three?
You said three?”
He actually had three children?!
Zhan Nanqing paused, her brow furrowed in confusion as she looked at Zhan Qipei.
Didn’t her brother know about Qiao Jing’s pregnancy? Why was he so shocked when he heard about three children?
Oh no, although her brother knew about Qiao Jing being pregnant, he might not have known they were triplets.
