Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 367: I Can’t Help You!

"Not good!" Ji Weitian suddenly stood up and took a step backward.

Luo Xinyan did not expect her reaction to be so intense. Her entire weight was on Ji Weitian, and when Ji Weitian abruptly distanced herself, Luo Xinyan almost fell to the ground!

Struggling to stabilize her body, she looked up at Ji Weitian, bewildered.

As if in disbelief, Ji Weitian could refuse her so bluntly.

Ji Weitian was stunned herself, meeting Luo Xinyan’s incredulous gaze, only then did she fully realize what she had just said.

But she did not regret it.

"Qin Nanyu and I are indeed just ordinary friends—that’s true—but that is precisely why I can’t help you. The program’s recording has clear regulations: without the permission of the cooperative family, one can’t bring children to other places. I can’t go against the spirit of the contract by taking Ruirui out to meet you."

Ji Weitian took a deep breath and didn’t wait for Luo Xinyan to speak before continuing on her own.

"As for your relationship with Qin Nanyu...if there are still feelings between you two, I’m sure it would be better for you to speak with him personally rather than having an unrelated person like me meddle. When it comes to matters of the heart, an outsider can’t be of much help."

After Ji Weitian finished speaking, she apologized.

Noticing that her own mental state wasn’t very good, she turned to call a waiter over, intending to pay the bill and leave.

She had just taken a step when Luo Xinyan suddenly reached out, grabbed her, and burst into heart-wrenching sobs.

"Weitian, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have talked about these things as soon as I got back. I’ve just been feeling too bottled up, and I don’t have a single friend to confide in. Do you know how miserable I feel?"

"..."

"You also have a child. If someone took your daughter away from you and wouldn’t let you see her face for four years, how bitter would you feel? I truly can’t stand it, I live each day in a daze, it’s worse than death..."

As Luo Xinyan spoke, it seemed as though she couldn’t stand, and she collapsed to the ground.

She clutched at the hem of Ji Weitian’s clothes, looking pitiful.

"Weitian, if I said anything wrong just now, I apologize. I really didn’t mean to trouble you; I just miss my son so much...he’s already four years old, and I haven’t even heard him call me ’Mommy’ yet!"

Luo Xinyan’s words caused a sharp twinge in Ji Weitian’s heart.

As a mother, nothing is more painful than losing one’s child.

The mere thought of someone trying to take Yaoyao away from her felt like her heart was being gripped, an unbearable thought for even a second.

But sympathy is one thing; principle is another.

She couldn’t, out of sympathy, completely abandon her principles as a person and use Qin Nanyu’s trust in her to sneak Luo Xinyan into the Qin Family Villa.

Nor could she rashly help Luo Xinyan meet Ruirui.

For such a small child, suddenly being presented with a stranger and being told that this is his birth mother... it might well be a nightmare for the child, rather than a dream come true!

"I’m not angry with you; I simply can’t help you."

Ji Weitian tried to calm herself and, noticing that everyone around was watching them, reached out to pull Luo Xinyan up.

But as she extended her hand, not only did Luo Xinyan not get up, but she also knelt down before her.

Ji Weitian was taken aback, "Xinyan, what are you doing?"

Luo Xinyan ignored the gazes around her, her eyes only on Ji Weitian.

Her face, once made up with exquisite makeup, had cried several times, and her makeup was now ruined. She looked absolutely nothing like her normally beautiful and elegant self.

But tears are a woman’s weapon. Her crying like this would tug at the heartstrings of any stranger who saw her, let alone Ji Weitian, who was her friend.
