Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 886: Chapter 874: Helping Ni Yue Catch a Thief Qiao Jing chased up to the railing, not slowing her pace, and simply vaulted over it with one hand, gracefully and deftly.

The little thief who had snatched the bag heard the sound of footsteps approaching and was startled. He glanced back as he ran.

Just as he turned his head, Qiao Jing kicked him in the back of the knee.

The thief didn't even have tto react before falling to his knees with a "thud." Qiao Jing then delivered a firm kick to his back, stepping on him completely, and snatched the stolen bag from his hands.

The surrounding bystanders witnessed this scene and began to praise her.

"That young lady has samazing moves; you'd think she was shooting a martial arts movie!" "Yeah, just hopping over that railing, you'd need sskills to pull that off!" "The young lady is not only skillful but also kind-hearted. In today's world, there aren't many who are willing to act heroically and stand up for others!" "If you ask me, her kicks were spot on! Scoundrels like this deserve a good lesson!" "" While the crowd was engaged in discussion, Ni Yue crunning over, panting heavily.

Qiao Jing recognized her as the owner whose bag was stolen earlier. She handed the bag back to Ni Yue and reminded her, "Be more careful next time." "Thank you." After earnestly thanking her, Ni Yue took the bag.

She looked at Qiao Jing with admiration and added with a smile, "Your graceful skills and spirited demeanor remindof a friend." Actually, it wasn't just her skills and aura; even her build was very similar. If their appearances weren't so different, she would have thought this person was Xiao Jingjing! Qiao Jing said nothing, only smiled faintly.

Ni Yue fetched a business card from her bag and handed it over, saying earnestly, "I'm Ni Yue, I work at the Yueji Pavilion, and my contact information is here." "You helped me, and I'll remember this favor. If you ever need help, feel free to call me." Qiao Jing took the card and glanced at it, feeling that it was a coincidence.

They were about to visit Yueji Pavilion and happened to meet someone who worked there.

"I'll be off now, I've got smatters to attend to." With that, Ni Yue waved at Qiao Jing with a smile and hurriedly turned to leave.

She had an appointment with a client nearby to discuss a design draft, and after that, she still had to head to Yueji Pavilion, so she was pressed for time.

After Ni Yue left, Qiao Jing returned to her previous spot.

When she got back, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin had already finished shopping.

Seeing her, Qiao Hong visibly sighed in relief.

Qiao Lin slightly frowned and asked, "Xiao Jing, where did you disappear to? We couldn't find you and were about to call you!" Qiao Jing replied nonchalantly, "I just helped out when someone got their bag stolen." "You went to catch a thief?!" Upon hearing this, Qiao Lin instantly lost her composure, exclaiming loudly while quickly pulling Qiao Jing to her, scanning her up and down to see if she was hurt anywhere.

Qiao Jing, of course, knew that Qiao Lin was worried she'd gotten injured, and she smiled gently, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Qiao Hong, beside them, spoke earnestly, "Xiao Jing, your big sisters know you're skilled, but thieves today can be violent, seven carry knives. Better safe than sorry, you should be more careful in the future, alright?" Qiao Jing initially wanted to say she was being cautious, but seeing Qiao Hong so seriously concerned, with genuine care in her words, she couldn't argue and simply nodded, "Sure, I'll be careful." After confirming Qiao Jing was indeed unharmed, Qiao Hong and Qiao Lin took her to Yueji Pavilion.

The three wandered around the store and eventually decided on a long white mermaid gown.

The gown had a deep V-neck at the front and a lace-back design, being both sexy and elegant-quite tasteful. Qiao Lin pointed to the gown they had chosen and said to the staff, "We'd like this one, please wrap it up for us." The staff was about to respond when a haughty voice suddenly interjected.

"I'll take this gown!" The three of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yang Xiaoxiao approaching with an air of arrogance.

Qiao Hong furrowed her brows, her tone displeased, "It's her again, that annoying pest!" Qiao Lin sneered, “Sis, you're spot on; she's just like a pesky ghost that won't go away!" Qiao Jing, however, remained silent, her expression calm.

As Yang Xiaoxiao approached, she gave the store staff a sidelong glance and demanded imperiously, "Didn't you hear me? I said I want this gown." The staff, hearing this, apologized, “Miss, my apologies, but this gown was first chosen by these three guests..." "So what?"

Yang Xiaoxiao cut off the staff, exuding an overbearing attitudem "They haven't haven't paid tpaid yet. If they haven't paid, doesn't the gown still belong to Yueji Pavilion? Why can't I buy it?" "This..." The staff looked at the three of them, feeling troubled.

Qiao Lin glared at Yang Xiaoxiao and grumbled, "Yang Xiaoxiao, with so many gowns at Yueji Pavilion, you had to go for the one we picked-are you doing this on purpose?" "That's right, I'm doing it on purpose, so what?" Yang Xiaoxiao admitted outright, her tone insolent.

Qiao Lin gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to rush over and pummel Yang Xiaoxiao.

Were it not for the fact that Yueji Pavilion was an upscale place where it wouldn't be proper to fight, she surely would have acted! Qiao Hong turned to the staff and said, “You see, she's being unreasonable and deliberately causing trouble. Besides, we really did pick the gown first. How are you going to handle this?" The employee looked troubled, unsure how to resolve the situation.

At this moment, the store manager, having overheard the commotion, walked over and asked, "What's going on?" The staff quickly explained the situation.

Understanding the circumstances, the manager solemnly stated, "Shopping requires respecting the orden of who saw it first. Since these three guests saw the gown first, then this gown should..." "I am a VIP customer at Yueji Pavilion, and VIPs have privileges, right? I'm taking this gown-figure it out," Yang Xiaoxiao interrupted, displaying her VIP card, full of pride and superiority.

"Oh, this customer is our VIP indeed!"

The manager, upon seeing the VIP card in Yang Xiaoxiao's hand, immediately changed his demeanor completely, directing the staff, "Why are you standing there? Hurry and wrap up the gown for our VIP customer." The staff hesitated for a moment and then quickly went to take the gown from the mannequin.

Yang Xiaoxiao looked at the three with her head held high, and said with glee, "What good is it that you saw it first? In the end, it's still mine!" "VIP privileges at Yueji Pavilion really pay off, don't they? Are you envious or jealous now?"
