Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

This is a critical flaw in logic; the public relations team at the RE Group has been thinking for half a day and still can’t come up with a reasonable explanation.

They desperately want to pry Lu Jing’s mouth open to get a clear answer, to explain why he refused to stay in the hospital and insisted on moving into Zhang Lingying’s apartment during such a sensitive time.

Now it’s all over; the reporters have caught them red-handed, with videos and photos as evidence. They can’t deny it even if they tried.

"So, why exactly did you move into my place?" Zhang Lingying asked Lu Jing, only realizing just now.

"..."

Lu Jing just looked at her, not saying a word.

His captivating eyes gleamed with a rebellious light, as if he didn’t care at all what people said outside.

Zhang Lingying had no doubt that if it wasn’t concerning her reputation, Lu Jing might directly tell his team to ignore it and let the netizens say whatever they want, as he wouldn’t care anyway.

Having such an unruly boss, Zhang Lingying couldn’t help but feel a bit sympathetic for the public relations team at RE Group.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, vaguely recalling that the reason Lu Jing didn’t want to leave the hospital initially was that there was no one at home to take care of him.

Then...

He moved into her place to recuperate, and it seemed like he suggested it himself.

She never thought to ask him for the reason.

Thinking back now, there’s no reason Lu Jing had to specifically ask her to take care of him; why did he insist on staying at her place?

"Come with me." Lu Jing suddenly spoke, breaking Zhang Lingying’s train of thought, grabbing her arm and pulling her into the bedroom.

Once the bedroom door was closed, all the noise from outside was shut out.

Zhang Lingying was led by Lu Jing, keeping her head down, thinking of how to resolve this issue, when Lu Jing suddenly stopped, turned, and pinned her against the wall. She was completely bewildered.

She blinked a bit confusedly and looked up at him.

Lu Jing was tall, over six feet, standing in front of Zhang Lingying with an air of superiority.

But his gaze was soft, with a hint of appeasement.

As they locked eyes, he pressed his thin lips together and spoke, "I’m sorry, I’ve dragged you into this. If the Qin Technology Group needs me to explain, I can do it for you."

"No need. Qin Nanyu is a student my father really likes, and he’s always looked after me, so he shouldn’t suspect that I conspired with you to steal secrets from Qin Technology Group. It’s your father who keeps holding onto this, which might blow up even more."

Zhang Lingying thought for a moment and then asked, "Why did you insist on moving into my place to recover initially? The Lu Family Villa is so big, and if you needed care, there should be more professional people than me to do it..."

"There isn’t." Lu Jing suddenly interrupted her and seeing Zhang Lingying’s surprised expression, he emphasized, "No one is better than you!"

Zhang Lingying: "..."

Zhang Lingying herself didn’t even know how she suddenly became the unrivaled best caregiver.

But seeing Lu Jing’s sincere gaze, she surprisingly couldn’t bring herself to refute him.

She just stared blankly as he reached out, ruffling her hair, chuckling softly, "Actually, solving this issue is very simple."

Zhang Lingying: "...What’s simple about it?"

Lu Jing: "We make it public, say that after spending some time together, we developed mutual feelings and decided to officially date. On the emotional level, since we are both single, no matter how you look at it, there’s nothing to criticize."
