"Brother, Qiao Jing's current condition cannot be discharged from the hospital. The doctor said that he must stay in the hospital for observation for two or three days."
Zhan Nanqing was still a little scared when she said this. This was the first time she had faced off against her brother.
However, the doctor said that Qiao Jing's physical condition must be kept in the hospital for observation, and he could only be discharged after confirming that he was fine.
Fetal air is a big or small thing, but what if something happens again later?
After hearing Zhan Nanqing's words, Zhan Qipei raised his eyebrows like smoke and felt a little suspicious.
"Didn't you say that you only need to rest for a few days? Why do you need to stay in the hospital for observation for two days?"
If the doctor said he needed to stay in the hospital for observation, then Qiao Jing's condition might be worse than what she said.
Zhan Nanqing secretly glanced at Qiao Jing's belly and did not explain anything else. She was afraid that the more she spoke, the more likely she would be exposed.
Zhan Qipei also noticed Zhan Nanqing's secret glance, and followed her gaze to Qiao Jing's belly.
Belly? What’s wrong with your belly?
Could it be——
Qiao Jing's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Zhan Nanqing must not speak, otherwise he might not be able to hide it from Zhan Qi Pei.
No! You must not let him know about the pregnancy! Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to distance yourself from the Zhan family.
At this time, none of the three of them spoke, and they just maintained a strange silence.
Zhan Qipei's eyes were still on her belly. Why was he always staring at her belly? Could it be that he was a little suspicious?
But she felt that she concealed it very well. When she deliberately concealed something from someone, it was difficult for others to see through it.
The tense atmosphere lingered back and forth between the three of them. Zhan Nanqing didn't know where to put his eyes for a while, and finally chose to lower his head and look at the floor.
Can her brother guess it?
Zhan Nanqing hopes that her brother can guess it, because then she can successfully become the aunt of these three children.
But she had just promised Qiao Jing not to tell her brother, and Xinrou would definitely be very sad if she knew about it.
Zhan Nanqing also began to feel entangled in her heart.
The first person to break the silence was Zhan Qi Pei, his eyes fixed on Qiao Jing's belly.
"Are you feeling sick to your stomach again? Did you secretly drink something cold behind my back?"
Qiao Jing's expression was surprised for a moment, but it passed quickly and immediately returned to its usual appearance.
She didn't expect that Zhan Qi Pei was still worried about her stomach. She always thought that she was acting like this because of a stomach problem.
But this was good, at least I could use this excuse to hide it from Zhan Qi Pei, so Qiao Jing admitted it directly.
"Um."
Zhan Nanqing on the side raised her head in disbelief. This made her feel that her brother was so stupid for the first time.
Before, she had always thought that her brother was the smartest, most powerful, and most skillful man in the world.
After all, Zhan Qipei's reputation is not only famous in the imperial capital, but her brother's name is even on the international rankings.
Her brother is decisive and decisive in business, and he is also very skillful. His IQ is so high that ordinary people can't imagine it, but why did he act stupid this time?
She had clearly hinted like that just now, but her brother actually thought it was Qiao's stomach problem? Are there really such stupid men in the world?
Zhan Nanqing was almost worried to death for Zhan Qipei. She wanted to tell the truth but couldn't.
When she was about to give her brother another hint with a wink, she found that her brother's eyes had been looking at Qiao Jing, not even looking at her.
Forget it, since you don't even look at her, then she doesn't bother to talk about it. Anyway, this is a matter between you two.
Besides, she promised Qiao Jing not to tell anyone about this matter, and the rest was up to her brother.
"I emphasized to you not to drink cold drinks."
Zhan Qipei's tone was full of distress and a little displeasure. He would also be very angry if she didn't take good care of her body.
Qiao Jing rubbed her temples tiredly and said a word.
"I won't do it again. I'm a little uncomfortable. I'm going to rest first."
She was worried that if she faced Zhan Qi Pei for a longer time, he would find out the clues, so she found an excuse to rest.
Zhan Qipei quickly stepped forward to support Qiao Jing, looked at her as if she were a treasure, and stubbornly helped her to the bedside.
After tucking Qiao Jin into bed, he walked lightly and walked out of the ward with Zhan Nanqing.
Zhan Nanqing saw that her brother was coming, so there was no need for her to stay here.
"Brother, when you come, I will go back first."
She was actually more afraid that if she stayed any longer, her brother would find out that she was lying based on her poor acting skills.
Zhan Qipei stopped Zhan Nanqing, his dark eyes were full of suspicion, and he carefully observed the expression on Zhan Nanqing's face.
"Wait a minute, did Qiao Jing really faint because of an upset stomach?"
Qiao Jing's physical condition has always been very good. Although she had some minor stomach problems, her previous gastric problems were not serious enough to be hospitalized.
She used to take some medicine and rest for a while, but why was she hospitalized this time?
It happened after his mother and his sister went to the apartment. What happened between his mother and Qiao Jing when he was not at home?
Is there no connection between them going to the apartment and Qiao Jing being hospitalized?
Zhan Nanqing blinked guiltily and looked elsewhere.
Only she herself knew that she was panicking at the moment. Why was her brother staring at her like he was interrogating a prisoner?
Zhan Nanqing felt as if her back was cold and she was breaking out in a cold sweat. Now she was even more unsure about whether she could hide it from her brother. She thought about it for a while before speaking.
"No... I don't know. When I went to her house to look for her, she fainted as soon as she opened the door."
Oh my God! Why did she lose her temper at the critical moment? She was so nervous that she stuttered! Wouldn't her brother notice it?
Zhan Qipei looked at Zhan Nanqing with a scrutinizing gaze again, and was silent for a while, seemingly giving the other party a chance to tell the truth.
Zhan Nanqing sweated for herself in her heart and prayed silently, never see it out, never see it out...
When she saw Zhan Qi Pei take something out of his pocket, Zhan Nanqing's eyes immediately widened.
These are mommy pearl earrings!
Mom even wore it to show off to her when she went out this morning. Why is it in her brother's hands now?
Seeing Zhan Nanqing's reaction, Zhan Qipei narrowed his narrow eyes slightly and his tone became colder uncontrollably.
"Let me ask you one last time, does this matter have anything to do with you and mom?"
It was obviously a question, but what Zhan Qi Pei said was in a declarative tone, which made people feel chilled inexplicably.
When Zhan Nanqing heard her brother's cold tone again, goosebumps arose, and she had the courage to say two words.
"No."
Zhan Qipei stared at Zhan Nanqing dimly, not believing her words.
Zhan Nanqing met Zhan Qipei's eyes, her palms were sweating, and she sighed in her heart, forget it, just say it, she knew she couldn't hide it from her brother, so she had to go all out.
"When we arrived at her house, my mother was really picky and said some unpleasant things, but she didn't do anything. She just pulled Qiao Jing's clothes and she fainted."
After saying this, Zhan Nanqing didn't feel relaxed at all, because Zhan Qi Pei's face was as cold as the wind, and the edges and corners of his face were tense.
