Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

From the entrance to the elevator, it was a short distance, but they took a long time to walk it.

All along the way, Lu Jing carefully protected Zhang Lingying.

Seeing a journalist reach out to grab Zhang Lingying’s clothes, Lu Jing immediately shot a sharp glance over, and that journalist instantly withdrew their hand in fright.

Only then was Lu Jing satisfied as he held Zhang Lingying and entered the elevator.

By the time they got back to the apartment, both of them were drenched in sweat.

"I’ve never been surrounded by so many people in my life, it’s a bit terrifying," Zhang Lingying said, patting her chest, realizing she had underestimated the journalists’ craziness.

"This is nothing; if Re Group doesn’t respond, everyone will definitely think we’re feeling guilty. By then, there’ll be even more journalists coming," Chen Chen reminded from the side.

Zhang Lingying glanced at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing didn’t mind, he reached out to loosen his tie, casually tossed it onto the sofa, and then instructed Chen Chen to take the PR team and head back first.

He didn’t mean for them to do anything at all.

Once everyone was gone, the apartment became quiet again. He didn’t say anything; he just seemed like a large, wronged dog, "I’m hungry, is there anything to eat?"

Zhang Lingying looked at the time and said, "You go take a shower first, I’ll cook now."

Then she went into the kitchen.

Zhang Lingying cooked quickly; by the time Lu Jing finished his shower, she had already prepared three dishes and a soup, asking Lu Jing to help set the table.

Putting aside the storm outside, the two got along without any issues.

In some ways, Lu Jing was obedient and well-behaved.

Zhang Lingying thought Leng Jian was right, Lu Jing was indeed quite dog-like.

She wasn’t insulting him.

She just felt that ever since Lu Jing moved into her house, it was like there was suddenly something fluffy and always ready to act cute.

So big, yet always looking so small, pitiful, and helpless...

After eating, he would also voluntarily help clean up the dishes.

Sometimes Zhang Lingying felt he wasn’t there to recuperate, but rather that she had found a roommate to share the days with.

Once Zhang Lingying was full and satisfied, she didn’t rush to shower. Instead, she leaned back on the sofa with her phone, flipping through the news that came out today.

The news of Lu Jing moving into her house had spread everywhere after a day of fermenting.

But neither side had come forward to respond.

Re Group hadn’t.

Qin Technology Group hadn’t either.

The people involved did appear, but aside from a hospital visit, Lu Jing and Zhang Lingying hadn’t said a word to the journalists.

This fresh gossip quickly turned half-baked, not sweet at all.

Attention was clearly waning.

Zhang Lingying thought, if she were Lu Xiao, she would definitely be anxious. After all, if the hard-earned buzz died down quietly, the money spent on hiring internet trolls alone would be a big loss.

If she were Lu Xiao...

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Jing asked, coming out of the kitchen, seeing Zhang Lingying with her hands on her cheeks, looking lost in thought.

"Thinking about your dad."

Lu Jing: "???

"I mean, Lu Xiao definitely didn’t expect that when he released this commercial spy news, Qin Technology Group would have no reaction at all, and you wouldn’t make any drastic responses under his provocation. With things as they are now, this matter will naturally fade away in a few days."

Lu Jing seemed to understand, then lightly chuckled knowingly, "You didn’t let me respond because you wanted to see what moves Lu Xiao had left?"
