Chapter 439: Twins, The Truth of That Year! (25)
Once she said it, Ji Weitian suddenly remembered that she was now living in Qin Nanyu’s villa with her daughter. If Leng Jian wanted to visit Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling, he would have to go to Qin Family Villa with her.
"If you find it inconvenient, maybe we can meet another time..."
"Okay," Leng Jian interrupted her softly.
Meeting Ji Weitian’s surprised gaze, he slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, revealing a trace of a warm smile.
"I really do miss Yaoyao."
"..."
Ji Weitian silently pushed the words that had almost slipped out back down her throat.
She tried to convince herself in her mind.
Even though Qin Family Villa wasn’t her home, Qin Nanyu was a businessman used to large dealings; she was just bringing a friend to see her daughter, he wouldn’t get angry, would he?
Or should she give him a heads up first?
Ji Weitian pursed her lips, looked down, and thought for a while. Out of respect, she still sent Qin Nanyu a message to tell him she would be bringing a friend over to visit today and asked him whether it would be too disturbing.
Qin Nanyu’s reply came quickly, almost instantly.
It was succinct to the extreme: "Okay."
Ji Weitian’s hanging heart settled back down.
She stuffed her phone into her bag, turned her head to glance at Leng Jian, who was focused on driving, and took the initiative to tell him everything that had happened recently.
"You authorized the patent to Qin Technology Group using Dr. CC’s name?"
Leng Jian’s expression flickered slightly when he heard the news, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened.
He glanced sideways at Ji Weitian.
Ji Weitian pursed her lips, looking like a child who had done something wrong.
She hung her head low and muttered softly.
"At that time, I had no other choice. Luo Xinyan realized that the technology used in Qin Technology Group’s new product was Dr. CC’s patent. If I couldn’t produce the authorization, Qin Technology Group’s reputation would be ruined. Since the issue started because of me, I couldn’t just ignore it."
"You shouldn’t have taken on that project from the start; so many people are looking for you outside, do you know what consequences your actions could bring..."
Leng Jian cut his words off mid-sentence.
Seeing Ji Weitian’s head lower and lower, almost burying it into her chest, he just couldn’t bring himself to be angry.
Finally, he managed to say, "I know, I’ll take care of it."
Soon, the car reached Qin Family Villa.
When they entered, Qin Nanyu, who had gone to pick up the two children from school, had not yet returned.
However, the butler saw Ji Weitian and came forward with a set of enrollment documents, "Miss Ji, these are documents Young Master Yu asked me to give you, concerning the transfer process for the young miss."
The next second, upon spotting Leng Jian standing beside Ji Weitian, the butler’s words stopped abruptly.
"This is my friend, Leng Jian," Ji Weitian explained quickly as she took the documents from the butler.
Leng Jian nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
His politeness towards strangers was tinged with a trace of reserve, markedly different from when he was alone with Ji Weitian.
"Welcome, Mr. Leng, please come in," recovered, the butler invited hospitably.
Seeing Ji Weitian looking down at the documents, he turned to pour water for Leng Jian.
Leng Jian, who stood by Ji Weitian’s side, naturally saw the contents of the documents and inquired lightly.
"Are you planning to transfer Yaoyao to another school? This kindergarten is very close to Qin Family Villa, but it’s much farther from Nanpo Apartment compared to her current one."
"...I haven’t decided yet," Ji Weitian admitted honestly.
If this had been before, she would have refused Qin Nanyu’s suggestion without hesitation.
