Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 893: One Thing Subdues Another

Zhang Lingying suddenly froze, looking at him bewildered.

Lu Jing: "If you agree to date me, then making our relationship public wouldn’t be deceiving the public. Besides, you are no longer related to Qin Technology Group, so me staying at your home to recover is perfectly reasonable."

With a "slap," Zhang Lingying whacked Lu Jing on the forehead, "What a nice thought! Did you ask for my opinion?"

Lu Jing covered his head, looking aggrieved, "I’m asking right now, see, I got hit."

Zhang Lingying: "Then I hereby formally inform you, I disagree. Trying to deceive an innocent girl, you deserved that hit."

Lu Jing: "..."

The issue with Lu Xiao flared up quickly and was eventually quelled with much ado.

The crux of the whole situation lay in the fact that Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian provided too many conveniences, allowing Leng Jian to unabashedly assist Zhang Lingying in the name of Qin Technology Group.

So, after it all ended, Leng Jian didn’t go to Zhang Lingying right away but first invited Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian to dinner.

When Ji Weitian received the call, she didn’t refuse. But after hanging up, she immediately leapt in front of Qin Nanyu.

"You say Lu Jing likes Zhang Lingying; do you have any proof? I saw Zhang Lingying come forward to refute that she and Lu Jing are just friends, and Re Group also issued a statement."

Plus, this time, Leng Jian invited them to dinner to help Zhang Lingying, never once mentioning Lu Jing.

Leng Jian considers Zhang Lingying his own little sister. If Zhang Lingying were with Lu Jing, Leng Jian wouldn’t just be inviting them to dinner—he’d be coming over with a knife to deal with Lu Jing.

Ji Weitian has interacted with Lu Jing before, and her impression wasn’t great.

It’s not that he’s not good-looking—he’s quite handsome—but there’s a strong sense of mischief about him, always giving off the impression that he’s deeply calculating and far from a good-natured person.

Ji Weitian is worried that Zhang Lingying, being inexperienced, would be at a disadvantage dealing with someone like him.

"Someone like Lu Jing wouldn’t take risks for nothing. The moment he decided to oust Lu Xiao, he had already set the entire board in motion, with Qin Technology Group nearly becoming a pawn in his game. Do you think he would allow someone like Zhang Lingying, whom Lu Xiao could use as leverage, to appear?"

He would not.

Unless Zhang Lingying’s appearance was beyond his control.

If it wasn’t part of his early plans, then it means he simply cannot control himself and wants to get close to Zhang Lingying.

For a man, the implication of that is obvious.

Qin Nanyu held Ji Weitian, glancing at the experimental report in his hand while comforting her, "A crafty old fox like Lu Jing might just be afraid of encountering someone as naive as Zhang Lingying."

Those who are the most cunning often lose to those who are completely oblivious to their tricks.

"I’m still a bit worried," Ji Weitian said, having spent the entire day working on an experiment and only recently handed over the report to Qin Nanyu, speaking even as she stifled yawns.

Qin Nanyu tenderly held her tighter, used himself as a cushion, and made her sit more comfortably.

"Don’t worry, if love is a gamble, then the one who falls in love first has already lost."

Lu Jing is the one who fell in love first.

"What about you? When did you start liking me?" Ji Weitian countered.

Talking about this topic, she suddenly wasn’t tired anymore.

She hasn’t forgotten how Qin Nanyu used to clash with her, both of them annoyed at each other.

"Why did you reject the opposite sex so much before? You kept telling me that all women are liars..."

Ji Weitian sat upright in his arms, ready to settle old scores.

Qin Nanyu, realizing he walked into a trap: "..."
