Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 903: Public Sentencing

"Lu Jing didn’t lie. The experimental data announced by the Re Group some time ago did indeed come from Dr. CC’s hand." Leng Jian’s voice came from the phone, cold and direct.

Ji Weitian’s nerves instantly tensed up, stunned for two seconds, and suddenly understood the purpose of Leng Jian’s call to Qin Nanyu. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Since Lu Jing had already mentioned Dr. CC in the video, and Qin Nanyu knew that Leng Jian could contact Dr. CC, he would certainly want to ask Leng Jian for clarification.

Sooner or later, it would have to be said, so Leng Jian might as well say it himself.

But...

She understood the reasoning, but for Qin Nanyu and Leng Jian to discuss Dr. CC right in front of her, it made her feel a bit pressured.

Ji Weitian walked past Qin Nanyu, nonchalantly opened the car door, and wanted to get in first.

As a result, as soon as she sat securely in the car, Qin Nanyu’s long leg stepped in right after, pulling her into his arms, with the phone call on speaker.

Ji Weitian’s eyes widened, feeling like she was being publicly shamed as she listened to the conversation between him and Leng Jian.

Qin Nanyu: "So, Dr. CC chose the Re Group?"

Leng Jian: "No, when Lu Jing had someone come to me, he didn’t clearly specify the project requirements, just gave a scope, hoping Dr. CC could help design some small programs, which is the part of the data you all saw later. The Re Group split those small programs and integrated them into their product."

Leng Jian paused, then continued: "The main responsibility for this lies with me. I was the one who took the job for Dr. CC. Dr. CC didn’t know her small programs would become the crucial point of competition between your two groups."

Ji Weitian blinked, suddenly feeling that Leng Jian’s call was not just a simple notification to Qin Nanyu.

He was helping to explain on her behalf.

"Cough cough!" Ji Weitian wasn’t very accustomed to letting a friend take the blame and wanted to interrupt Leng Jian, but unexpectedly, upon hearing her cough, Qin Nanyu worriedly looked down at her before unhesitatingly saying to Leng Jian, "I understand. If there’s anything, I’ll contact you again."

The call was promptly disconnected.

Ji Weitian, who had only just opened her mouth to cough twice: "..."

"Are you too tired? I’ll take you home to sleep a bit, and if you still feel unwell after waking up, then it’s time to go to the hospital." Qin Nanyu tossed the phone aside and snugly wrapped Ji Weitian in his arms.

His posture of holding her was like cradling a baby.

Ji Weitian nervously licked her lips and muttered, "Will you blame Dr. CC?"

Qin Nanyu paused, then lightly chuckled and teased her, "I’d love to blame her, but I can’t find her, so how?"

"Would you blame her if you found her?" Ji Weitian nestled in his arms, poked her little head out to ask, and then shrank back, with a trace of anxiety in her demeanor.

Qin Nanyu reached out to rub her head, reluctant to answer such hypothetical questions, just instructing her to close her eyes and rest for a while, saying he’d call her when they arrived home.

Ji Weitian obediently closed her eyes but internally took his silence as acquiescence.

The next day, Qin Nanyu accompanied Ji Weitian to the laboratory.

All the laboratory members were present, including Leng Jian and Zhang Lingying.

Everyone stood at the entrance, looking dejected.

Zhang Lingying seemed very guilty, proactively stepping up to explain to Ji Weitian, "I’ve been busy dealing with Lu Xiao’s matters these past few days and didn’t expect Lu Jing to..."

Ji Weitian shook her head, indicating for her to stop talking, "It has nothing to do with you. You haven’t affected the progress of the experiment. The Re Group’s ability to achieve a breakthrough is due to their competence."
