Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 369: The Silent Stirring of the Heart

It was just a glance before everything returned to normal, as if it were her own illusion.

Luo Xinyan seemed to want to say more, but Ji Weitian already cut her off, "It’s getting late, shouldn’t you be going back to rest? Where are you staying now?"

"I’ve just returned to the country and don’t have a place in T city yet, I’m staying at a hotel for now," said Luo Xinyan, sensing that Ji Weitian didn’t want to continue the conversation. She didn’t press too hard and took the initiative to speak.

"The hotel isn’t far from here, you don’t need to send me off, I can go back by myself. Next time you’re free, let’s get together properly."

After saying this, she handed Ji Weitian her contact information, then left.

Ji Weitian stood still, watching her departing figure, her eyes flickering slightly. After a long while, she turned and went home.

"Tiantian? Is that Tiantian who’s come back?" As soon as Ji Weitian entered, Shen Yixian and Lin Ci, alerted by the sound of the door, both came out.

Seeing Ji Weitian, Shen Yixian visibly relaxed.

Lin Ci explained from the side, "Your dad saw you went out to send someone off and didn’t come back for a long time. He was worried something happened to you and was about to go downstairs to look for you."

Ji Weitian looked at Shen Yixian, whose honest face was slightly embarrassed.

It seemed he was worried about being too anxious about his daughter and putting pressure on her, so he didn’t ask what Ji Weitian had been doing just now.

But Lin Ci approached Ji Weitian with concern and asked, "Tiantian, after you sent President Qin off, did you go somewhere else?"

They had lived here for decades and knew every corner of Nanpo Apartment inside and out. Descending just to send someone off shouldn’t have taken so long.

Unless she had done something else.

Like grabbing a drink or taking a detour through Jiangcheng University for a walk...

"No, Qin Nanyu left right after getting downstairs, I bumped into an old friend and chatted for a bit," Ji Weitian explained simply, and seeing that it was late, she urged the two elders to rest.

Shen Yixian and Lin Ci weren’t the types to interfere with their daughter’s private matters. Reassured that she was okay, they went off to bed.

Soon, only Ji Weitian was left in the living room.

Her expression was somewhat wooden as she slightly lowered her gaze, and her drooping eyelashes obscured the light in her eyes, making it difficult to discern what she was thinking.

The events of the day had been too much.

Too much for Ji Weitian to process.

Qin Nanyu seemed to like her... She just realized that she might not dislike him anymore...

And then there was Luo Xinyan.

She had come back for Qin Nanyu.

And Ruirui...

Thinking of something, Ji Weitian stood up from the sofa and stepped into the children’s room.

Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling had already fallen asleep, her soft little body sprawled across the center of the bed in a starfish position.

Her little head was resting on the pillow in an odd posture, sleeping soundly.

Ji Weitian’s cool gaze softened at the sight of her daughter.

She walked over, sat on the bedside, and bent down to kiss her delicately carved little face.

Flashing through her mind were images from four years ago.

The moment in the hospital when she was confirmed to be pregnant was like a bolt from the blue, but she hesitated for only a few seconds before deciding to keep the baby.

At that time, she hadn’t thought about how to tell her adoptive parents.

She didn’t know whether her decision was right or wrong, and she even dared not imagine all that she would have to face in the future...

Luo Xinyan was a student in the same department as her, but they were not in the same class, and their courses were mostly separate.

If it wasn’t for the encounter in the hospital, Ji Weitian would have hardly known she had such a classmate.
