Alpha's Unexpected Heir

Chapter 840: Chapter 828: Tang Yan Really Can't Stand His Boss Anymore In the blink of an eye, there were only two weeks left until Qiao Jing's due date.

Early that day, Qiao Jing had arranged to go shopping with Lin Xiuxiang.

Although the baby supplies had been ready for a while and they didn't need to worry about them, both wanted to personally pick out sitems for the baby since they were soon to be mothers.

On this side, Qiao Jing and Lin Xiuxiang were leisurely strolling hand in hand in the mall.

Meanwhile, at Zhan Corporation, Zhan Qipei noticed that ever since Tang Yan arrived at the company today, he seemed distracted, making several mistakes even with simple tasks like delivering a document.

Tang Yan had been with him for a long tand rarely made mistakes in his work, so his performance today was highly unusual! After yet another mistake, Zhan Qipei called him over and asked sternly, “What's going on with you today? In just a short time, you've made several mistakes, including the most basic ones you shouldn't be making." Tang Yan slightly lowered his head, didn't make any excuses for his mistakes, and candidly said, "Xiuxiang will give birth in a month, and I'm a bit worried." "Worried about what?" Zhan Qipei casually asked.

Even though he asked, he instinctively thought that Tang Yan was worried about whether the delivery would go smoothly and such.

However, Tang Yan's response was not what he expected.

With a furrowed brow and apparent worry, Tang Yan said, "She went out shopping this morning, and I'm worried something unexpected might happen." Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei was unimpressed, raising his long brows slightly, "What's the worry? It's just shopping for a distraction, nothing likely to go wrong." After speaking, he earnestly advised Tang Yan, "Don't worry too much; give your wife sfreedom and space. Women are very sensitive during pregnancy. If you overreact, she might feel distressed." Tang Yan thought it made sense.

He nodded, "President Zhan, you're right, I've been too nervous." After a few seconds, Tang Yan added, “Actually, Xiuxiang went shopping with the Young Madam; with her there, I shouldn't be worried." Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei instantly lost his composure, his dark eyes widening slightly, "What did you say?!" Tang Yan was taken aback, with a confused look on his face, unable to understand why the previously composed President Zhan reacted so strongly.

It seemed like... he hadn't said anything out of the ordinary? Seeing Tang Yan standing there without responding, Zhan Qipei knitted his brows like mountains in the mist, and asked again in a steady voice, "What did you just say?" Tang Yan wasn't sure but repeated what he had just said, word for word.

"I said, Xiuxiang went shopping with the Young Madam; with her there, I shouldn't be worried..." Before Tang Yan could finish, Zhan Qipei was already hastily dialing Qiao Jing's number.

The call connected quickly.

Before Qiao Jing could say anything, Zhan Qipei pre-emptively spoke, his naturally magnetic voice now filled with obvious tension and urgency.

"Honey, why did you suddenly decide to go shopping? Which mall are you at now?" On the other end, with a calm expression, Qiao Jing answered the phone while edging into a baby toy store with Lin Xiuxiang.

After telling Zhan Qipei the mall's name, she said unhurriedly, "The weather is nice today, so I thought of going out for a walk." Zhan Qipei unknowingly tightened his grip on his phone, worry evident in his furrowed brow.

"Honey, you're two weeks away from giving birth; you need to be extra careful when going out now. Why didn't you letknow, so I could accompany you?" "Otherwise, you could have let our mom and Nanjing accompany you, or just find a few bodyguards to follow." The thought of Qiao Jing heavily pregnant, out shopping alone with another pregnant woman, filled Zhan Qipei's mind with various potential dangerous scenarios.

The more he thought about it, the scarier it seemed, and he becuncontrollably worried.

Even over the phone, Qiao Jing could sense Zhan Qipei's current anxiety.

However, ever since her belly started to show significantly, Zhan Qipei, Su Manhan, Zhan Yao, Zhan Nanjing, and everyone else around her had treated her like a national treasure, making a fuss over the smallest things, fearing that something might happen to her or the baby.

So she had becaccustomed to their fussing.

She lifted her finely shaped brows and said to Zhan Qipei on the other end, "Relax, it's just a shopping trip; nothing's going to happen." "Alright, we're going to continue shopping. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now." "Hold on..." Just as Zhan Qipei spoke, he was met with the "beep beep beep" of the busy tone.

Clearly, Qiao Jing had hung up the phone.

Although from the call she indeed seemed fine, speaking lightly and cheerfully, Zhan Qipei still couldn't stop worrying.

Tang Yan, who had witnessed everything, was momentarily speechless.

Now he finally understood why President Zhan had reacted so strongly!

President Zhan was quite something, a moment ago logically advising him not to worry, yet instantly losing his composure when it cto the Young Madam, even more than Tang Yan himself! Meanwhile, back at the mall.

As soon as Qiao Jing put her phone away, Lin Xiuxiang sidled up to her, face full of gossip ax she asked, "Judging by your words just now, it must be President Zhan calling, right?" "Yes." Qiao Jing replied, casually picking up a cute little toy from the shelf and examining it.

With a smile, Lin Xiuxiang teased, "President Zhan really takes such good care of you, being soc O M considerate. Just going out for a bit of shopping makes him worry enough to call immediately, it's truly enviable." Qiao Jing glanced at her amusingly and retorted, "Enviable? Isn't Tang Yan the sway with you?" "Tang Yan he..." Lin Xiuxiang was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at the screen, she saw it was indeed Tang Yan calling.

Seeing the incoming call display, Qiao Jing's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

Lin Xiuxiang was momentarily embarrassed, sheepishly answering the call.

Tang Yan called mainly to remind Lin Xiuxiang to be careful, saying things like watch her step, don't shop for too long, and make sure she doesn't tire herself out.

Lin Xiuxiang had long been familiar with these words by heart.

She promptly interrupted Tang Yan's rambling, quickly saying, "Got it, got it, I'll be careful, hanging up now." After speaking, Lin Xiuxiang hung up the phone.

Qiao Jing put back the toy she was holding, teasing Lin Xiuxiang with a smile, "Your Tang Yan has also sent his love. No need to envynow, right?" Lin Xiuxiang chuckled, immediately changing the subject, “Let's go check out sother stores.” Chapter 840: 828: Tang Yan Really Can't Stand His Boss Anymore Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.
