Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 889: Chapter 877: Attending Zhan Nanqing's Engagement Banquet In the blink of an eye, it was Zhan Nanjing and Chi Yuhang's engagement day.

Early in the morning, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin eagerly got Qiao Jing up.

After a simple breakfast, the three of them changed into their formal dresses and prepared to attend Zhan Nanjing's engagement banquet.

Just before they left, Zhan Qiaoyu learned they were going to his aunt's engagement banquet.

This made the little one a bit anxious.

If he showed up with Aunt Jing and them, it would definitely arouse suspicion from his dad and other family members! This way, his plan would be directly exposed! Realizing this, Zhan Qiaoyu quickly grabbed hold of Qiao Jing, who was about to take him out, and blinked, saying, "Aunt Jing, you guys go ahead, I think I'll just stay here and wait for you." Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing looked down at him, her gaze falling on his fair little face with slight puzzlement, "Why don't you want to go?" Earlier, when they went out shopping, since the taway wasn't long, she felt comfortable leaving the little guy alone in the hotel.

But today was the engagement banquet, and they would definitely be staying longer, so she didn't want to leave the little guy behind alone.

Beside her, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin also looked at Zhan Qiaoyu with sconfusion.

"I...” Zhan Qiaoyu hesitated for a moment and suddenly remembered the trick of pretending to be sick that his two younger brothers had mentioned before.

He then raised his small hand, held his head, and convincingly said, "I feel a bit dizzy, not feeling very well...” Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing's expression changed slightly, and a worried look appeared in her eyes. She quickly knelt down, placing her palm on Zhan Qiaoyu's forehead to check if he had a fever.

Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin were also very concerned.

Qiao Lin immediately suggested, "How about we take the little guy to the hospital for a check-up? It's the changing season, and it's easy to catch a cold and get sick if one isn't careful, especially for children." "I happen to know a doctor friend who's an expert in pediatrics, and he's nearby. I'll call him and ask him to cover, which would be faster than going to the hospital." Saying this, Qiao Hong was about to take out her phone to make the call.

Hearing what Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin said, Zhan Qiaoyu's heart tightened, realizing that pretending to be sick wouldn't work.

This can't be staged! Whether going to the hospital or the doctor coming over, he'd be exposed! Seeing Qiao Hong about to make the call, Zhan Qiaoyu quickly changed his downcast demeanor and regained his usual spirited look.

"Oh! I seem to be fine now, not feeling uncomfortable at all!" Saying this, Zhan Qiaoyu shook his little head, indicating that he indeed felt no discomfort.

Looking at the little guy's mischievous and cute appearance, he indeed didn't seem to be sick, and Qiao Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

But she was still somewhat uneasy, holding Zhan Qiaoyu's small hand, cautiously asking, "Are you really okay? Is your head still dizzy? Is there any other discomfort?" Zhan Qiaoyu immediately shook his head, "Not dizzy, totally fine now!" The little guy spoke with sdecisiveness, seeming to fear speaking too slowly would make Qiao Jing and the others think he was still unwell.

"Looking at the little guy, it seems like it's really nothing." Qiao Hong said, and then put away her phone, no longer considering calling the doctor.

Qiao Lin glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "Since the little guy's fine, let's hurry up and leave, so we won't be late, especially since we're attending the engagement banquet." Qiao Jing nodded and said, “Let's go.” Thus, the three of them took Zhan Qiaoyu out of the hotel and headed to the engagement banquet venue by car. Sitting in the back seat, Zhan Qiaoyu looked calm, but his mind was racing.

He couldn't just show up like this, or the secret would be uncovered! But what trick could he use to hide in plain sight, deceive them? Even if he wore a mask, his dad's sharp eagle-like gaze would still recognize him! Just as Zhan Qiaoyu was growing flushed with anxiety, he inadvertently turned his head and saw a toy store ahead through the car window.

Looking through the toy store's glass display window, a row of cartoon character masks could be seen.

Zhan Qiaoyu's eyes lit up instantly, if he wore such a mask, he could hide his entire face and wouldn't have to worry about being recognized! Thinking this, the little one pointed to the toy store, using a begging tone to say to Qiao Jing, "Aunt Jing, Aunt Jing, I want one of those masks!" "What mask?" Qiao Jing asked suspiciously while looking in the direction Zhan Qiaoyu had pointed.

Zhan Qiaoyu casually said, “I want a Sun Wukong one!" Seeing the mask the little guy talked about, Qiao Jing was a bit surprised.

This little guy always gave her a sense of maturity beyond kids his age, who would have thought he sometimes had a childish side and liked these things? Qiao Jing chuckled lightly, patted Zhan Qiaoyu's little head fondly, "Okay, Aunt Jing will buy it for you." Then, Qiao Jing had the driver stop in front of the toy store and brought Zhan Qiaoyu inside to buy the mask. With the mask in hand, the two returned to the car.

Zhan Qiaoyu toyed with the mask for a moment, ready to put it on.

Qiao Lin raised an eyebrow, teasingly saying, "This Sun Wukong mask is pretty cool, little guy, didn't expect you to like stuff like this!" Upon hearing this, Zhan Qiaoyu blushed, thinking if not for the situation forcing him, having no other option, he wouldn't want to wear it.

He definitely didn't like these childish things! Ten minutes later, Qiao Jing's group arrived at the engagement banquet venue.

With many guests attending the banquet, the car couldn't drive directly up to the entrance, so they got out and decided to walk over.

However, once they got out of the car, Qiao Lin was bumped by an old woman who seemed to cfrom nowhere.

After bumping into Qiao Lin, the old woman staggered and fell to the ground.

Feeling inexplicable about being bumped, Qiao Lin was initially a bit annoyed, but seeing it was an elderly woman, she couldn't get angry and instead helped her up, kindly asking, "Ma'am, are you alright?" The old woman clutched a woven basket tightly, her eyes somewhat evasive after being helped up.

"I'm okay, I'm okay, it was my carelessness. At this age, my m eyesight's no good. As long as you're not mad at this old lady for bumping into you, it's fine." In such a situation, there wasn't much Qiao Lin could say, she just reminded, "Ma'am, walk slower from now on to avoid injury." "Sure, sure, I'll be careful from now on, thank you." After saying this, the old woman waved and turned to leave.
