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 some noise 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 came to 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 became clearer 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 time her 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, let me go!"

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."
