Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 886: Wisdom Lies in Self-Awareness

"Right." Zhang Lingying didn’t deny her little schemes, since Lu Jing had already seen through them, she simply pulled him into a discussion, "Do you think, after Lu Xiao went through all this trouble and now things have turned out this way, if you were him, what would you do?"

"I would never become like him." Lu Jing answered without thinking.

Zhang Lingying blinked, then immediately thought of Qiao Ran, who was driven mad by Lu Xiao and eventually died in a mental hospital. In Lu Jing’s mind, he probably didn’t want any association with his biological father.

"I’m not saying you’re like Lu Xiao. I mean, if... you understand hypothetical thinking, right? Lu Xiao must have originally wanted to use public opinion and Qin Technology Group’s power to deal with you, to make you lose your position at Re Group. That way, he could naturally return to Re Group, but now we’ve blocked that path."

Zhang Lingying grabbed Lu Jing’s hand, her eyes sparkling.

"Do you think he might resort to desperate measures, and instead question my contact with you, suggesting it’s to leak information to Qin Technology Group? Think about it, if I really had a connection with you, and Qin Technology Group saw they suffered such a significant loss, wouldn’t they speak out? Qin Nanyu trusts me so much, Lu Xiao would have reasons to suspect that I’m one of Qin Nanyu’s people. That way, not only could he drag Qin Technology Group back into the water, but he could also blame you for having an unseemly private life that caused Re Group’s business damage."

"..."

Lu Jing glanced at Zhang Lingying, suddenly remembering her whispering into Leng Jian’s ear before she left, not knowing what she said.

It seems she has other plans.

Now it’s just a matter of whether Lu Xiao will take the bait.

Thinking of how things might unfold next, Lu Jing couldn’t help but laugh, reaching out to ruffle Zhang Lingying’s hair, complimenting her without reservation.

"If Lu Xiao knew he spent his whole life scheming, only to be outwitted by a little fox like you, he might just die from anger." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I should thank you for giving me a stage to shine." Zhang Lingying squinted her eyes with a smile.

She’s well aware of her own capabilities.

In the world of business deceit, she can’t compare to Lu Jing. It’s just that Lu Jing has to consider Lu Xiao as his biological father, while she doesn’t need to.

It’s just clarity from an outsider’s perspective.

Zhang Lingying took the compliment, seeing Lu Jing’s stable emotions, not triggered by Leng Jian’s punch earlier in the day. Only then did she put her phone down to go take a shower.

After a day of chaos, once she finished her shower, exhaustion washed over her.

She yawned, wanting to say goodnight to Lu Jing.

But after searching the guest room and living room, she couldn’t find Lu Jing anywhere.

Finally, she thought of something, reached out, and pushed open her own bedroom door.

She wasn’t at all surprised to see Lu Jing already lying in her bed, eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.

He was even holding the corner of the blanket, as if afraid he might be kicked out of bed in his sleep.

Already feeling sleepy, Zhang Lingying didn’t bother to argue with him.

After all, they had slept together yesterday, so it wasn’t anything new.

She dried her hair, softly lay down on the other side of the bed, and used the remote to turn off the bedside lamp.

The room darkened, with a sliver of bright moonlight streaming in through the slightly open curtains, casting a pale yellow glow, creating a gentle, peaceful atmosphere.

Zhang Lingying thought she’d fall asleep in seconds from exhaustion, but after lying there for a long time, she couldn’t sleep.

In her mind, the image of waking up in Lu Jing’s arms kept recurring....
