Alpha's Unexpected Heir

Chapter 839: Chapter 827: Who Broke Into the Bathroom? That evening.

After finishing her work, Qiao Jing left the research institute and returned to her apartment.

Feeling troubled, she planned to go straight to bed after a shower.

However, halfway through her shower, she suddenly heard snoise outside the bathroom.

It sounded like the door opening, followed by footsteps coming closer.

During the day, after Zhan Nanqing finished her call with Zhan Qipei, she specifically cto inform Qiao Jing that Zhan Qipei would be returning to the country the next day to explain things to her in person.

Since Zhan Qipei was due back the next day, who could be breaking into her apartment at this hour? A thief? A robber? As soon as she thought of this, Qiao Jing was on high alert.

After turning off the faucet, she grabbed a nearby towel to wrap herself and turned off the bathroom lights to avoid revealing her position.

Without the sound of water, the footsteps becclearer and steadily closer.

Qiao Jing silently approached the door, and as the intruder neared, she swung the door open and delivered a swift hand chop.

Unexpectedly, the intruder sidestepped.

Qiao Jing felt somewhat annoyed; her reflexes had dulled significantly since becoming pregnant.

Before, she would never have missed! Pausing for a moment, Qiao Jing launched another attack.

However, this ther outstretched hand was caught by the intruder.

Soon enough, she was pulled into an embrace.

Even though the lights were off and she couldn't see, the solid chest and familiar scent were enough for Qiao Jing to instantly recognize the person.

She struggled slightly, "Zhan Qipei, letgo!" Zhan Qipei carefully held the woman in his arms, worried about hurting the babies in her belly.

Being a triplet pregnancy, her five-month bump was already noticeably prominent.

He lowered his head, his lips close to Qiao Jing's ear, his voice deep and magnetic, "Be good, don't move. It's me, I'm back." As Zhan Qipei spoke, the warm breath on her ear caused a shiver to run through Qiao Jing.

She turned her head away, biting her lip, and softly asked, "Why are you back? Weren't you coming tomorrow?" "I missed you." As he said this, Zhan Qipei held Qiao Jing a bit tighter, his actions revealing his longing.

Qiao Jing froze for a moment, her slightly parted red lips softly whispering, "Is that so?" To be honest, Qiao Jing couldn't help but be moved by Zhan Qipei's overnight return from abroad for her.

But the thought of that phone call, those photos, and the woman who traveled abroad with him, acting intimately, made her heart restless.

Seeing Qiao Jing's cold attitude, Zhan Qipei couldn't help but frown, "You don't trust me?" Qiao Jing remained silent, unwilling to engage with him.

There was a hint of frustration on Zhan Qipei's handsface, "Alright, I truly missed you, but I also rushed back mainly because I was afraid you'd throw a fit and sneak away in a jealous rage." Hearing this, Qiao Jing's expression becunnatural, and she retorted, "Who's jealous?" She was merely annoyed, not jealous! "Alright, alright, you're not jealous." With samusement, Zhan Qipei echoed Qiao Jing's words, then explained, "I went abroad for a fashion show, and that woman is a model from under Zhan's. We just happened to go on the sbusiness trip, nothing more." "Then what about that phone call?" Upon asking this, Qiao Jing realized she was indeed bothered by the matter.

"What call?" Zhan Qipei asked, confused.

"The day you went on that business trip, I called you in the afternoon, and a woman's voice answered." Qiao Jing briefly recounted the situation from that day.

After listening, Zhan Qipei pondered for a moment before responding, "At that time, I left my phone in the office, Tang Yan was supposed to bring it back for me. But... the call log doesn't seem to have the call you mentioned." At this point, Zhan Qipei had a good idea of what might have happened.

It was obvious that Han Liner had answered Qiao Jing's call without permission and deliberately said things to make Qiao Jing misunderstand, later deleting the call log! Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Zhan Qipei's eyes, "That woman was being mischievous on purpose. I'll let Tang Yan deal with it." Having heard Zhan Qipei's explanation, Qiao Jing had already pieced it together.

After all, such tricks weren't really sophisticated; it was just too many coincidences this tthat left her uncertain.

Although the misunderstanding was clarified, Qiao Jing's mood didn't immediately improve.

She let out a light hum, struggling to leave Zhan Qipei's embrace, "Who knows if what you're saying is true?" "Then how should I prove it to you? Should I drag that blind woman in front of you for confrontation, so you can vent your anger?" Zhan Qipei said this while hugging Qiao Jing tightly, preventing her from slipping away.

In the tugging, the towel wrapped around Qiao Jing suddenly loosened and fell to the floor.

Her expression changed, and she said with sembarrassment, "Zhan Qipei, let go, my towel fell!" "It's alright, I'll get it for you." Zhan Qipei didn't release Qiao Jing; instead, he turned on the light.

In an instant, the dimness was chased away by the light, and everything was illuminated.

Qiao Jing was completely exposed in Zhan Qipei's sight.

Even though the babies in her belly were five months along, facing Zhan Qipei like this, even someone as composed as Qiao Jing couldn't help but feel shy.

Watching her cheeks turn a delicate shade of red, Zhan Qipei couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. After all, seeing Qiao Jing embarrassed was quite rare.

Qiao Jing gave him an angry glare, then bent to pick up the towel on the floor.

However, the protruding belly severely limited her movements.

She couldn't bend down! Seeing this, Zhan Qipei couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

Qiao Jing beceven more exasperated, huffing coldly, "You dare to laugh? If it weren't for you, my towel wouldn't have fallen!"

Worried he might truly anger her, Zhan Qipei quickly and sincerelym admitted his mistake, Alright, alright, that was my fault. I'll pick it up for you right now." As he spoke, he bent down slightly, picking up the towel.

Qiao Jing immediately reached out, intending to wrap it back around her.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Qipei tossed the towel onto the vanity with a smirk, "It's already fallen, why wrap up again? Just leave it." With that, before Qiao Jing could react, he scooped her up and headed toward the bedroom.

"Zhan Qipei! You did it on purpose, didn't you? Putdown, I don't need you to carry me!" In Zhan Qipei's arms, Qiao Jing struggled a bit, but as she felt herself slipping, she instinctively clung to his neck.

If not for the babies in her belly, she would have definitely given Zhan Qipei a hard time! Soon, Qiao Jing was carried into the bedroom and placed on the bed.

Zhan Qipei leaned down to kiss her, his magnetic voice gently coaxing, "Go to sleep, stop fussing." With the bedside lamp turned off, the dim room was filled with an alluring atmosphere...

The next day.

As soon as Zhan Qipei arrived at the company, he summoned Tang Yan to thoroughly investigate the phone call incident.

Tang Yan immediately recalled having seen Han Liner enter the office unauthorized that day.

He confidently stated, "President Zhan, no need for furtherconfirmation, it was Han Liner's doing, as she entered your office that day." "Daring to plot against me, she's truly courting death!" Zhan Qipei's voice was icy, as he glanced at Tang Yan, "I'll leave this matter to you, do I need to teach you how to handle it?" "Understood, I will take care of it immediately." Tang Yan departed with his orders.

That day, Han Liner was dismissed by the modeling agency under Zhan's.

Across the city, industry colleagues received word that Han Liner was to be blacklisted entirely.

From that point, Han Liner vanished from the modeling world and the city at large, had as if she had disappeared into thin air, never to be heard from again... The will be updated first on this website. Cback and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
