Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 723: Chapter 712 Arrogant Lin Yun

Qiao Mengtong took off her sunglasses and, holding a notebook, walked leisurely toward the backstage.

Having spent some money and used her connections, she headed straight to the backstage, planning to get an autograph from Luca.

But just as she turned the corner to the hallway of the competitors’ resting rooms, she suddenly caught sight of Qiao Jing and Zeng Xiangyang.

She abruptly halted her steps and stood at the corner, secretly observing the two.

Qiao Jing raised her hand and knocked on the door of the resting room.

"Thud thud thud—"

It wasn’t long before Lin Yun came out from inside.

Upon seeing Lin Yun, Zeng Xiangyang immediately put on an adoring expression.

"Lin Yun bro! You were amazing today!"

Lin Yun glanced at Qiao Jing and then turned to Zeng Xiangyang.

"You go in, I have something to discuss with Qiao Jing. You can get autographs from them. I’ll give you mine later."

Hearing this great news, Zeng Xiangyang quickly slipped into the resting room and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Qiao Jing looked at Lin Yun with a puzzled face and asked,

"What’s the matter?"

Why did Lin Yun give her the impression that he had something very important to tell her?

She paused for a moment, not forgetting to offer her congratulations.

"Congratulations on winning the competition."

Lin Yun nodded and then stared at Qiao Jing with a complex expression for a good while. He hesitated for quite some time before he slowly began to speak.

"How have you been feeling... lately?"

Ever since he learned about Qiao Jing’s pregnancy, he felt that something was off with his mood, becoming very irritable.

In the end, he thought, maybe he really had fallen for Qiao Jing as his manager had said.

But Qiao Jing was already married and pregnant. Shouldn’t he stop pursuing her? Yet, his body was honest and couldn’t help but invite her to watch his match.

Qiao Jing knew Lin Yun was asking about her pregnancy, and she furrowed her brows slightly.

"I’m very well."

She had thought Lin Yun this "naughty kid" had some other important question to ask her, but he was just inquiring about her health.

Lin Yun clenched his fists, looked at Qiao Jing for a few seconds, and then slowly relaxed them.

"How are things between you and Zhan Qipei...?"

Though he wanted to restrain himself from seeking out Qiao Jing, he just couldn’t do it.

If Qiao Jing hadn’t come to watch his match today, he wasn’t sure if he could have stayed in form. The name Qiao Jing was like a heavy stone pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, Qiao Jing didn’t cover up much and replied truthfully,

"What do you mean ’how’? It’s the same as before. Is there anything else? If not, I’ll go fetch Zeng Xiangyang."

Who knows if Zeng Xiangyang would cling on chatting with the competitors inside.

Lin Yun frowned deeply, and just as Qiao Jing was about to open the door of the resting room, he stepped forward a few paces and grabbed her arm.

"Qiao Jing, can you please stop ignoring me?"

After he spoke, he realized that these were not the words he was supposed to say and coughed to hide his embarrassment.

"No, it should be you pleading with me, asking me not to ignore you."

Qiao Jing halted her steps and looked at Lin Yun as if looking at a child.

"When have I ever ignored you?"

It’s not like they had just stopped contacting each other recently for no reason; how did it turn into her ignoring someone?

Suddenly, she sharply sensed someone at the corner.

Qiao Jing withdrew her hand and stepped forward, intending to walk to the corner, but just then, the sound of a door opening made her stop in her tracks. noveldrama

Zeng Xiangyang poked his head out from the break room and, seeing that Qiao Jing and Lin Yun had stopped talking, finally stepped out.

"Master, I’m ready!"

Qiao Jing turned back to glance at Zeng Xiangyang and was about to ask him to wait a bit longer when hurried footsteps came from around the corner, which soon receded in the distance.

Her brows tightly furrowed, she hurried to the corner, hoping to see who it was when she came face to face with a cleaner.

The cleaner, holding a mop in hand, was startled by the sudden appearance of Qiao Jing.

"My goodness, you scared me to death..."

Realizing it was just a cleaner, Qiao Jing frowned, still feeling that something was off.

"Was anyone else here just now, besides you?"

She could clearly sense that someone had been standing there not long before and had hurriedly left.

The questioned cleaner was stunned for a moment, thought hard, and then shook his head.

"No, I just remembered I didn’t bring the mop with me, so I ran back to get it. I didn’t see anyone on the way there or back."

Qiao Jing pursed her red lips, looked up at the nearby fire escape, and her eyes darkened.

Her intuition told her that the person who had been standing there wasn’t the cleaner but someone else.

Since the cleaner hadn’t seen anyone else in the corridor, it proved that the person might have hidden themselves, possibly right behind this fire escape.

Qiao Jing took a step towards the door of the fire escape.

At last, Qiao Jing’s steps halted in front of the fire door, she reached out to the doorknob, and gently applied pressure, ready to push it open.

Qiao Mengtong, who was hiding in the fire escape, leaned her back against the door, listening to the increasingly closer footsteps outside, her heart pounding wildly.

She couldn’t be about to be discovered, could she? If she was found out, what excuse would she find??

Just then, Zeng Xiangyang, who had just gotten Lin Yun’s autograph, suddenly approached Qiao Jing.

"Master, let’s go back! I’ve collected all the autographs from the Star team! Hahaha!"

Qiao Jing, about to open the door, paused mid-motion and furrowed her brows as she looked at Zeng Xiangyang.

"Wait."

With that, she pushed the door to the fire escape open, only to see the empty corridor.

Zeng Xiangyang curiously looked into the fire escape where there was nothing to see.

"What’s up with this place?"

Qiao Jing didn’t respond, simply shut the door to the fire escape again.

"It’s nothing, let’s go."

No one in the fire escape? Could it really be that she was overthinking?

Zeng Xiangyang uttered an "oh" and began walking towards the exit.

Qiao Jing turned back to greet Lin Yun before leaving together.

Qiao Mengtong, hiding behind the fire escape door, breathed a sigh of relief. Once she heard Qiao Jing’s retreating footsteps, she happily took out her phone, and opened the photo album.

From the angle of the shot, one of the photos made it look like Lin Yun was holding onto Qiao Jing, suggesting a very intimate relationship between the two.

Looking at the photo, she revealed a sly smile of satisfaction.

"Qiao Jing, oh Qiao Jing, I’ve finally got you by the heel!"

Fortunately, she had paid close attention today, or she wouldn’t have been able to capture such a good photo!

If she spent some money to buy a trending spot, blasting this photo out there... hehe!

Just-crowned world champion Lin Yun and the rumored affair with the wife of Zhan Corporation’s heir, the scandal was bound to be explosive!

But... what she wanted was far more than just leaking the photo; that would be letting Qiao Jing off too easily!

She planned to use this photo elsewhere!

With that thought, she exited the photo album and opened her messaging app.
