Chapter 415: Chapter 404: Professor Qiao’s Seminar (1)
Upon hearing those three words, Qiao Jing fell silent while a ripple formed in her cold eyes; she lowered her eyelids.
The car stopped at the entrance of the exchange meeting.
Qiao Jing glanced at the time, there were still a few minutes before it started.
She hurried out of the car and was about to enter when the man’s deep voice rang out.
“I’ll come pick you up after it ends.”
Qiao Jing turned her head to look at Zhan Qipei, intending to refuse.
But refusing the man would definitely lead to him pestering her, and she was in a rush to attend the meeting, so she had no choice but to agree.
“Okay.”
Zhan Nanqing had just alighted from another car and saw Qiao Jing standing not far away; she waved her hand.
Fearful that Qiao Jing wouldn’t hear her, she deliberately raised her voice.
“Qiao Jing! Wait for me! I’ll go in with you!”
Zhan Nanqing’s voice attracted the attention of others, who cast curious glances towards her.
Unconcerned about the gazes of others, Zhan Nanqing ran over to Qiao Jing, slightly out of breath.
She was afraid that Qiao Jing would go in directly without waiting for her; she hardly cared about anything else at the moment.
After all, she still had to protect her from outsiders for her brother, keeping an eye on Qiao Jing.
As Qiao Jing noticed her and was about to speak, footsteps sounded from behind.
She turned her head to find Zhan Qipei catching up; she looked towards the man with a puzzled expression.
Wasn’t he supposed to be attending a celebration?
Why had he followed her instead?
Zhan Qipei walked up to Qiao Jing, casting a glance at Zhan Nanqing.
Zhan Nanqing’s face also showed confusion as she looked towards the entrance and then at Zhan Qipei.
“Brother, are you going in too?”
Zhan Qipei said nothing but led Zhan Nanqing to the side.
This left Zhan Nanqing even more puzzled; what on earth was her brother up to?
“Brother, what’s going on? Why all the secrecy?”
And why couldn’t he speak in front of Qiao Jing?
Zhan Qipei turned to check on Qiao Jing’s direction, ensuring she couldn’t hear them before speaking.
“It’s very dangerous for Qiao Jing right now. Keep an eye on her for me.”
He wanted to stay and watch over his wife himself, not trusting others to do it.
But he simply couldn’t get away from the amusement park, and he still had to plan the route to take Qiao Jing around it.

Zhan Nanqing looked back at Qiao Jing and noticed she was indeed dressed very sexily.
It wasn’t exaggerated, however, as it was very normal work attire, but it just seemed incredibly sexy on Qiao Jing.
“Oh brother, rest assured, there’s no need to even mention it; I’d watch over her myself. Besides, Qiao Jing is Professor Qiao, who would dare to mess with her?”
She had already planned to help her brother by keeping an eye on Qiao Jing, to prevent any interested parties from stealing his sister-in-law away.
Zhan Qipei pursed his thin lips, his eyes filled with reluctance as he looked at Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing was watching the siblings and caught Zhan Qipei’s gaze; his eyes seemed like a bottomless pit about to swallow her up.
She wordlessly twitched the corner of her mouth.
It’s not like they won’t see each other again, why was he looking at her with such a lingering gaze?
And if he was looking at her this way even before she entered, wouldn’t Zhan Qipei reveal an even more unbearable look once she was inside?
Those who didn’t know better might think they would never meet again.
Zhan Qipei had thought of saying a few words before leaving, but time was really pressing, and he could only nod at Qiao Jing, making a gesture to show he would leave.
Qiao Jing also nodded slightly.
Zhan Qipei walked to the car with frequent backward glances, pausing for a while after closing the car door before finally leaving.
Zhan Nanqing walked back to Qiao Jing’s side and complained.
“True to form, my brother, Zhan Qipei’s brand of 502 glue, Qiao Jing, only you could handle him.”
Before Qiao Jing could reply, she continued.
“But you have to stick with my brother forever. I wouldn’t be happy with anyone else as my sister-in-law.”
Qiao Jing pursed her red lips, looking somewhat helpless.
“Let’s not talk about this now. It’s almost time. Let’s go inside.”
She wasn’t sure what her feelings for Zhan Qipei really were.
If she still felt nothing for Zhan Qipei in the future, she would make the same decision as before.
After all, getting pregnant was an accident, and she wouldn’t force Zhan Qipei to take responsibility.
Zhan Nanqing then withdrew her gaze, linking arms with Qiao Jing, and they entered together.
They had barely taken a few steps when a familiar voice came from behind.
“Qiao Jing.”
Qiao Jing paused in her steps, a look of surprise appearing on her face.
“Wu Xirui?”
Wu Xirui glanced at the direction where Zhan Qipei had left.
He had seen the interaction between Qiao Jing and Zhan Qipei while he was in the car, and his smile immediately vanished.
Now, as he approached Qiao Jing, he put on a fake smile again, staring intently at her with his peach blossom eyes.
“Mmm, I’m here～”
Upon hearing Wu Xirui’s rising intonation, Zhan Nanqing’s face turned sour, and she watched him warily.
She took a small step forward, intentionally blocking the space between Qiao Jing and Wu Xirui.
Why had her rival appeared just after her brother left?
Did Wu Xirui have some kind of radar that could detect Qiao Jing’s location?
She glanced around, fearing others might show up one after another.
Qiao Jing furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with surprise.
“What are you doing here?”
She had made it clear at this academic conference that no one except agricultural experts were allowed in.
Wu Xirui raised an eyebrow, his peach blossom eyes curling, and he took out an invitation and a certificate from his pocket.
“I’ve been idle recently, so I learned a bit about agriculture and got a certificate.
It’s only basic, but it qualifies me to enter.”
He had learned this just because he heard Qiao Jing would attend and wanted a chance to sit with her during the event.
A trace of surprise flickered through Qiao Jing’s eyes as she looked at the certificate.
“Had you studied this before?”
If not, it wouldn’t have been so easy to get a certificate so quickly.
But she remembered that Wu Xirui had always focused on business, so why had he suddenly stopped to get certified?
Wu Xirui shook his head, putting the certificate back as he spoke.
“No, just picked up a bit this half-month.”
Qiao Jing was somewhat surprised; to build a foundation and get a certificate in half a month was exceptionally talented.
“Got it.”
She checked the time; there was less than two minutes left to enter.
Wu Xirui looked towards the entrance and stepped forward, trying to get beside Qiao Jing.
“The event is starting soon, shall I join you? I still don’t fully grasp agriculture, and you’ve been at Professor Qiao’s research institute for so long, could I lean on you a bit?”
Zhan Nanqing directly stepped in front of Qiao Jing.
“Keep your distance from my sister-in-law. This ‘big leg’ is only for me to cling to.”
