Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 483: Love Begins Mysteriously and Deepens Uncontrollably

"I remember you telling me that you’d never marry or fall in love with anyone in this lifetime," Professor Fan asked seriously. "So why the sudden change of heart?"

At Jiangcheng University, he was perhaps the person who knew Qin Nanyu best.

Qin Nanyu appeared aloof, but in reality, he feared getting hurt and habitually kept everyone out of his heart.

He rejected others’ care, their good intentions.

He guarded his heart closely, unwilling to open up to anyone.

He held a particular prejudice against women.

Extreme to the point of being obstinate.

When Professor Fan first started mentoring him, he got angry with him more than once because of his stubbornness. Eventually, he realized Qin Nanyu was quite set in his ways and beyond reasoning with.

Setting aside his issues with the opposite sex, he was impeccable in everything else.

Over time, Professor Fan became accustomed to it and no longer tried to force him.

Now that he admitted to having feelings for someone, of course, Professor Fan wanted to clear things up.

The elder’s words seemed to touch a sensitive nerve in Qin Nanyu; his dark pupils instantly deepened, and the smile at the corner of his mouth also withdrew.

Before meeting Ji Weitian, Qin Nanyu always thought he would never fall in love with anyone.

He despised women...

In his life plan, there was no column for a spouse.

Until he met her, as if it were a cruel twist of fate.

"Love arrives without warning, deeply and overwhelmingly."

That was the only explanation that came to Qin Nanyu’s mind at the moment.

Although tenuous, it was nevertheless the most truthful.

It started with an inexplicable closeness to Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling that drew his attention to Ji Weitian.

Later on, he couldn’t even tell when exactly he had fallen in love.

By the time he realized it, he was already jealous of his own son.

"She’s different from the rest; she has a sincere heart."

Simple, bright, beautiful.

For someone like Qin Nanyu, who had grown up in a wealthy family and seen many a dark side of life, this was something he couldn’t resist.

"If you truly like Weitian, then why cling to the past? Some things are best left unclear. To dig them up is like reopening a wound and inflicting a second injury," Professor Fan said, filled with earnest concern.

Qin Nanyu understood what he meant.

He had thought as much at first, until Luo Xinyan appeared, reminding him.

"There are some issues we can’t avoid. Otherwise, they’ll only lead to more misunderstandings. I’m not concerned about her past; I only care about whether I have the ability to protect her and Yaoyao," Qin Nanyu explained sincerely.

Professor Fan fell silent as if pondering the validity of Qin Nanyu’s words.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

"As for what exactly happened back then, I’m not too sure either. I only heard about it afterward when Ji Weitian was going to take a leave of absence from school. I talked to her once, and she was very reluctant to mention Yaoyao’s biological father because she didn’t know him; it had been against her will."

"..." Qin Nanyu’s palms clenched, and his heart tightened with them.

After talking with Kali, he had this premonition, but he hadn’t expected his fears to become a reality.

"Not many people know about this. Back when rumors were rampant outside, claiming she was promiscuous and had shamed the school, she chose not to defend herself and silently endured all the gossip and slander by herself, all to protect her child."

A mother’s strength stems from instinct.

Aside from feeling pity, Professor Fan couldn’t change her decision.

"And what about the man? Is there no news about him at all?" Qin Nanyu asked through gritted teeth.

"There is!"
