Chapter 444: Chapter 433: Qiao Jing Beca the Team’s Favorite Chapter 444: Chapter 433: Qiao Jing Beca the Team’s Favorite Nanqing suddenly felt that things were starting to make sense.
After all, who didn’t know about her mom’s partiality towards Qiao Jing?
It even surpassed her own daughter! Calling her darling was no big deal.
Luckily, it wasn’t her brother who was the darling, or she really would have been upset.
Now her mom didn’t even know about Qiao Jing’s pregnancy, and she was already this nice to her. What would her mom do if she found out in the future?
Would it co to her mom feeding Qiao Jing every single bite of her als?
The mont this thought appeared, Nanqing’s mind automatically filled in that image, and she imdiately got goosebumps.
She definitely couldn’t stand that image… it was just too mushy.
When Qiao Jing heard Su Manhan calling her darling, a crack appeared on her usually expressionless face.
She wasn’t used to being called that, as no one had ever called her that before; it just made her feel mushy.
But since Su Manhan and Nanqing were joking now, she didn’t take it to heart.
Nanqing directly started making a scene.
“Mom! You’re really going to ditch your old darling!! You fickle woman…”
She said this while stretching out to hug Su Manhan’s arm, completely becoming a drama queen.
Su Manhan frowned and half-jokingly pushed Nanqing away.
“What’s wrong? Am I not allowed to change my darling? Fine, how about this: Qiao Jing is my darling daughter-in-law, and you can be my darling daughter. Are you happy now?”
Nanqing imdiately frowned, complaining,
“Why do you sound so reluctant? Am I not worthy of being your darling? You even make add a pinch of salt to my dwindling feelings?”
Qiao Jing just watched the mother and daughter argue, barely holding back a laugh.
She had been fine just observing, but now that she laughed, the two arguing stopped and turned their gaze towards her simultaneously.
Qiao Jing quickly suppressed her laughter and reverted to her usual indifferent deanor, coughing lightly to cover the sound of her laughter.
“What’s the matter?”
Nanqing huffed and, with Su Manhan, approached Qiao Jing with a joking tone,
“Qiao Jing, where did you learn those tricks? Can you teach ? My mom’s soul has been totally hooked by you, surely you must have fed her so soul-hooking potion!”
Before, her mom’s attitude towards Qiao Jing had been quite poor, but it changed drastically after Qiao Jing had saved her mom’s life.
She could understand this point, as Qiao Jing had saved a life and even got hurt in the process.
Plus, she hoped her mom would accept Qiao Jing sooner.
So when her mom later started preparing food for Qiao Jing, she reluctantly got over her jealousy.
But now her mom was directly calling Qiao Jing “darling”!
She was jealous!!
Su Manhan poked Nanqing’s forehead, looking disgusted.
“How old are you, still acting like a three-year-old? You want Qiao Jing to teach you soul-hooking? I haven’t been soul-hooked; don’t talk nonsense. Isn’t it right for to treat Qiao Jing well?”
After hearing the words “soul-hooking” and “soul-hooking potion”, she suddenly rembered the things she had secretly thought about Qiao Jing before.
She had said that Qipei and Nanqing must have been enchanted by Qiao Jing, their souls hooked away.
And now she was the sa… it really was a bit embarrassing…
With an utterly helpless smile, Qiao Jing changed the topic to prevent further argunt.
“It’s nearly ti to start work. We’re going to be late.”
Su Manhan didn’t continue the topic and left in the Zhan Family’s car.
Before she left, she didn’t forget to remind Nanqing,
“Rember what you promised your brother!”
Nanqing muttered,
“I know, how could I possibly forget…”
Qiao Jing furrowed her brows in confusion and looked towards Zhan Nanqing.
“What?”
Why did she feel like this mother and daughter were speaking in riddles?
And it seed to be about her?
Because just now, while Su Manhan was speaking, her gaze had fallen on her.
Zhan Nanqing chuckled dryly, her gaze shifting elsewhere as she casually replied.
“It’s nothing, just sothing my mom asked to do.”
She dared not ntion that within the Zhan family, an alliance had already been ford.
An alliance to help Zhan Qipei chase after Qiao Jing.
Even her mom had specifically instructed her to keep an eye out while at the research institute, probably because her mom had heard about Xu Moqian’s matters from sowhere.
Qiao Jing noticed Zhan Nanqing didn’t wish to continue the topic, but she was sowhat curious.
After all, it was about her, and she kind of wanted to clear it up.
Just then!
A taxi arrived in front of them.
Zhan Nanqing, without a second word, pulled Qiao Jing into the car, also avoiding the continuation of their earlier discussion.
Evening.
The first thing Qiao Jing did when she got ho was to video call Pingping and Anan.
During her ti at the research institute, she hadn’t yet thought of a good place to take them and planned to call to gather their opinions.
As for why she hadn’t seen Zhan Qipei in the living room, it was because he was busy in the kitchen at the mont.
Moreover, he had locked the kitchen door again, turned on the inside extractor fan, not even giving her a chance to help.
Qiao Jing’s gaze, through the transparent glass door, caught the busy figure of the man in the kitchen and the steam rising from the hot oil.
Cooking added a touch of holiness to the usually serious Zhan Qipei.
Watching Zhan Qipei make dinner suddenly gave her a sense of familial warmth.
Thinking this, Qiao Jing’s hand gently rested on her slightly protruding belly.
It indeed felt sowhat similar…
And she was also faintly looking forward to it…
Suddenly, her thoughts were interrupted by a child’s voice.
“Sister Qiao!”
Qiao Jing’s gaze returned to her phone screen, realizing Pingping and Anan’s call had connected.
Seeing the two innocently cute faces, she displayed a gentle smile.
“Yeah, I’m here. Brother Zhan and I will co to pick you guys up tomorrow afternoon to stay for a couple of days. Do you have any places you want to visit?”
Tomorrow was Friday, aning the kids could stay at their house for a full two days.
Originally, she wanted the kids to stay at the orphanage to bond with Lin Xiuxiang, but Lin Xiuxiang was still forced to stay at ho, unable to interact with the siblings.
Maybe Lin Xiuxiang was going stir-crazy at ho, often complaining to her these days, things like.
“The endless tonics that are also very bitter, Qiao Qiao, I miss you, co help out, I haven’t drunk a single sip.”
“Qiao Qiao, shall we schedule another ti to go out together?”
“The baby is stable after three months of pregnancy, I really don’t know what they’re worried about.”
“…”
She needed to find a ti to check on Lin Xiuxiang’s baby again, it had been a while since her last visit.
Hearing Qiao Jing’s words, the children’s eyes imdiately lit up.
Pingping was the first to respond to Qiao Jing.
“I don’t have a specific place in mind, Sister Qiao, can I just stay at your house indefinitely?”
