Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

"I’ll apologize on Leng Jian’s behalf. He only hit someone because he cares about me," Zhang Lingying sincerely apologized to Lu Jing, without pushing too much.

Although she knew Leng Jian was a disciplined person and wouldn’t be intimidated by Lu Jing’s threats.

But since both were her friends, it would be best if they could get along peacefully.

Besides...

"You can’t just suddenly kiss me without any warning anymore, or else you won’t have to wait for Leng Jian to hit you, I’ll punch you myself!" Zhang Lingying waved her fist to show she was serious.

Lu Jing was silent for a moment and then asked humbly, "So, if I give a warning, can I kiss you then?"

Zhang Lingying: "..."

It seemed that Lu Jing really wanted to taste her fist the size of a casserole.

Zhang Lingying didn’t argue with him on this topic any longer. Once she confirmed Lu Jing was okay, she needed to check on Leng Jian.

Leng Jian came so quickly, he probably saw the news online and was worried about her situation, so he rushed over.

She’d been busy taking care of Lu Jing earlier and hadn’t had the chance to ask.

As she walked out of the doctor’s office, Zhang Lingying looked up and saw Leng Jian standing against the wall not far away.

His hands were in his pockets, leaning against the wall. When he saw Zhang Lingying coming out, he immediately stood straight and walked towards her.

Without glancing at Lu Jing, who was following behind Zhang Lingying, he grabbed her wrist and said softly, "Come with me."

Zhang Lingying didn’t have time to speak as Lu Jing had already grabbed her other hand, refusing to let her go.

Thus, she suddenly became like a sandwich cookie.

Leng Jian furrowed his brow slightly, suppressing his anger, looked at Lu Jing, and said, "Do you still think you haven’t caused her enough trouble?"

Lu Jing responded unfriendly, "Whether you believe it or not, I’ve never thought about using her, and I won’t let her get hurt because of me."

"You won’t? Then because of whom is she being criticized now? Don’t you know?" Leng Jian didn’t bother to argue with Lu Jing further; in his eyes, Lu Jing was flawed all over.

If it weren’t for Zhang Lingying’s feelings, he wouldn’t want to say a word to Lu Jing.

He restrained his hostility, looked down at Zhang Lingying, "We all know about your situation, and we believe in you. I already have a solution; come back with me first, and I’ll explain it slowly."

"There’s a solution? What is it?" Zhang Lingying looked up in some surprise at Leng Jian.

Lu Jing’s team had been troubled for a long time and couldn’t think of a solution, yet Leng Jian had come up with one so quickly.

"Do you remember the contract I gave you before? That contract is still with me. As long as you announce externally with the contract that your cooperation with Qin Technology Group has been completed ahead of schedule and currently has nothing to do with the Qin Technology Group, the whole matter will have nothing to do with you," Leng Jian patiently explained to her.

Zhang Lingying understood the logic, but she couldn’t understand— 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"This matter was orchestrated by Lu Xiao deliberately finding someone to do it. His purpose was to use public opinion to pressure Lu Jing to give up his position as president of Re Group. Lu Jing and I are innocent; we’ve done nothing wrong. Why should I be forced to leave the lab early?"

"For me, protecting you is more important than anything else. Since you and Lu Jing are innocent, the Lu family’s issues have nothing to do with you. You just need to protect yourself," Leng Jian said, holding her shoulders with great patience to comfort her.

But Zhang Lingying couldn’t accept it, "I can’t agree. If I do this, it will definitely affect the lab."

She was no longer a child.

She didn’t believe that just clearing herself of all responsibility would solve all problems.

Zhang Lingying narrowed her eyes, "I have an idea..."
