Chapter 369: Chapter 358: Zhan Qipei’s Ecstatic Joy
“What are you doing? Your injury hasn’t healed, be careful not to split open the wound.”
Zhan Qipei no longer had the mood to pay attention to his own injury, his gaze intensely fixed on the woman’s face.
“What did you mean just now? What do you mean ‘if you can’t find it, then forget it’?”
Qiao Jing pressed her lips together and only after a long while did she slowly say a sentence.
“It means just what it says.”
Did she really have to spell it out for Zhan Qipei to understand what she meant?
Zhan Qipei’s dark eyes shone even brighter, and a joyful expression appeared on his face.
“My documents were taken by you?”
Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, intending to push the man away.
“They are under the sofa, if you really want to get them and divorce me, then go get them.”
No sooner had she spoken than her body suddenly lifted off the ground.
Qiao Jing was startled and instinctively wrapped her arms around the man’s neck.
Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, a tidal wave of emotion surged in the depths of Zhan Qipei’s eyes, and for a moment, he was nearly submerged in the joy.
He directly picked her up and walked around the living room, even spinning her a few times.
“Not getting them, not getting them, I would never divorce my wife, just leave them there.”
His wife actually didn’t want to divorce him anymore!
His wife actually agreed not to divorce him!!
Zhan Qipei was so happy, like a child who got his favorite toy, an incredibly happy smile appeared on his face, which had been as unchanging as an iceberg for a thousand years.
Qiao Jing felt somewhat helpless, and wanted to pat the man’s back to get him to stop, but then suddenly remembered that his back was injured.
Her hand moved to Zhan Qipei’s neck instead, gently patting it.
“Alright, put me down.”
Zhan Qipei, however, stubbornly refused to let go, and only after carrying Qiao Jing around every corner of the house did he agree to put her down.
He feared he was dreaming, and stared at Qiao Jing’s face, then pinched himself, and only when he felt the pain, he dared to believe it was real.
“Why have you decided not to divorce me?”
He wanted to know what made his wife change her mind, after all, he had done so many things and she’d never agreed to stay married to him.
When Qiao Jing saw Zhan Qipei pinch himself, she couldn’t help but laugh through her tears.
“Didn’t you tell me before that I never tried to accept you, that I treated our marriage like a task?”
Zhan Qipei’s heart leaped to his throat, and his Adam’s apple slid up and down nervously.
He didn’t dare to speak, but just stared straight at Qiao Jing, afraid he might say something wrong that would make her change her mind.
Seeing the man’s cautious expression, Qiao Jing felt an inexplicable ache in her heart.
She looked at Zhan Qipei with a very serious expression.
“I’ve decided to give you a chance, and also to give myself a chance, this time I will open up my heart to you, and try to accept you.”
Zhan Qipei’s eyes lit up even more, excitedly staring at Qiao Jing.
Seeing Zhan Qipei so happy, an image unexpectedly popped into Qiao Jing’s head.
If the man had a tail, it would definitely be raised high right now, and he would be wagging it like a dog.
She was amused by this scene, showing a faint smile, her eyes curving as she looked at Zhan Qipei.
Zhan Qipei stood up, overjoyed, waddled to the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and bowls, and ran to the kitchen to wash them.
When Qiao Jing wanted to stop him, the man hurried her back to the room to sit down.
After washing the dishes, Zhan Qipei sent a message to his family.
“Qiao Jing has agreed to give me a chance, she won’t divorce me.”
The next second, his phone suddenly froze.
A few seconds later, messages started flooding in like a bombardment, popping up in big bunches.
The first to respond to his message was Su Manhan.
“Really?! That’s fantastic!! Qipei, you’ve got to seize this opportunity! There’s only one daughter-in-law as good as her in the whole world!”
Even Zhan Yuanshan, who rarely used his smartphone, couldn’t help but pick it up after hearing Su Manhan’s excited voice in the living room.
Upon learning that Qiao Jing was willing to give his wooden-headed grandson another chance, he was so happy that his beard almost took flight.
“Qipei! If you don’t keep Jing Girl in our Zhan Family, I’ll kick you out. You stay where Jing Girl is, and don’t even think about coming back home!”
Zhan Nanqing excitedly sent a barrage of emojis, followed by a series of messages.
“Brother, you can do it! If she’s willing to give you a chance, the day she becomes my sister-in-law won’t be far away.”
Zhan Qipei was the first to reply to Zhan Nanqing’s messages.
“She’s already your sister-in-law.”
“Ah, but it’s not the same. Once I’ve successfully pursued Qiao Jing, I can start calling her sister-in-law directly.”
The thought of the renowned Professor Qiao and Divine Doctor Jing being her sister-in-law filled her with such joy; Qiao Jing was the only sister-in-law she acknowledged because she was such a wonderful person!
Zhan Yao was, of course, also happy for Zhan Qipei. Anyone with eyes could tell how much his son loved Qiao Jing, and now that there was a chance, he felt a twinge of excitement as well.
“Son, seize the opportunity and win her over.”
Zhan Qipei sent back a simple “Okay” before dashing into Qiao Jing’s room.
At this time, Qiao Jing was reading a medical book, glancing up as she saw him enter the room.
Zhan Qipei’s smile faded a bit upon seeing the suitcase.
“Let me put the clothes from the suitcase back where they belong.”
Otherwise, it looked like she could leave at any moment, and his heart couldn’t bear that.
Qiao Jing didn’t protest, allowing him to fiddle with her suitcase.
Zhan Qipei was stunned upon opening the suitcase.
Instead of the packed clothes, the suitcase was empty.
He immediately turned around, quickly walked to the wardrobe, and upon sliding the doors open, saw the neatly arranged clothes inside.
He instantly understood that Qiao Jing might have been prepared earlier not to divorce him; that’s why she had put the clothes back.
Zhan Qipei pursed his lips, quickly approached the bed, and before she could react, he embraced her.
Qiao Jing couldn’t see his face, but she could hear his heavy heartbeat and the breathing close to her ear.
The medical book in her hands slid onto the bed as she let him hold her.
A few minutes later, Zhan Qipei still held the same posture, unmoving.
Feeling her hands growing stiff, Qiao Jing pushed the man away.
“You should go back.”
Although she had agreed to give Zhan Qipei a chance, it didn’t mean she had already accepted him.
Zhan Qipei could tell what was on Qiao Jing’s mind but wasn’t discouraged.
Just the fact that his wife was willing to give him a chance was already a success for him; no one else even had that opportunity.
Zhan Qipei hurried out of the room and before long returned with a cup of warm milk.
“Drink some warm milk before you sleep. I’ll give your belly a massage too. I looked it up; five minutes is enough, massaging too long isn’t good.”
He started researching prenatal care tips and even looked up some recipes for pregnant women.
