Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 520 The Perfect Excuse

"I took this photo; how did it end up on your phone?" Qin Nanyu asked in surprise, his facial expression momentarily froze before he sat up and reached out to take the phone from Ji Weitian’s hand.

The whole reaction was smooth as though he was stunned.

Seeing his action, Ji Weitian also felt somewhat stupefied.

He didn’t know about the photo leak?

But...

"How could you have such a photo on your phone?!" Ji Weitian demanded.

Judging from the clothing in the photo, she could tell that it was taken last night when she was forced to stay in his room to take care of him and had fallen asleep.

And why, when she fell asleep on the sofa, did she wake up in a different place?

And then such a photo appeared?

A series of questions popped into Ji Weitian’s mind in an instant.

Each question pointed directly at Qin Nanyu!

"I wasn’t feeling well last night, but no matter how much I called you, you wouldn’t wake up. I was worried something might happen to me, and you’d have no way to explain it, so I deliberately took a few photos with my phone to prove that you really did stay in the room to take care of me."

Qin Nanyu explained sincerely.

Although the reason was far-fetched, it was at least plausible.

More importantly, he had taken the photos as evidence, considering Ji Weitian’s position.

Even if Ji Weitian was angry that he took the photos, she wouldn’t beat him up without saying a word.

At most, she would blame him for not keeping the photos secure, allowing them to get leaked.

Qin Nanyu had even thought of a reason for the photo leak in advance.

"Today, while I was at the hospital handling emails, I felt very uncomfortable. Maybe because of that, I accidentally sent out the photo when replying to messages. I will have someone investigate this thoroughly."

Qin Nanyu explained calmly and then apologized earnestly.

"It was not intentional; if you are bothered by the netizens’ comments, I can have Qin Technology Group issue a statement in my personal capacity to clarify that our relationship isn’t what they claim, that you were not at all proactive."

Explanation.

Apology.

Follow-up measures.

Qin Nanyu had considered it all.

Ji Weitian, who initially was boiling with rage, found herself with nowhere to vent her anger and could only glare at him with wide eyes.

Her instinct told her that things couldn’t be such a coincidence.

Yet Qin Nanyu’s story was seamless, and for the moment, she simply couldn’t find a reason to continue her outburst.

Lying weakly in the hospital bed, he looked like a victim.

If she pressed him further for an explanation, she would come across as aggressive.

So, should she just let it go?

Ji Weitian felt a surge of frustration in her chest, snatched back her phone, and read the online comments again.

Because of that set of photos, everyone now believed she was really involved with Qin Nanyu.

If Qin Nanyu really made a statement to clarify things now, not only would no one believe it, but she might also be ridiculed for throwing herself at the president of Qin Technology Group, and that Qin Nanyu didn’t even want her.

"Give me your phone." Ji Weitian grabbed his phone and deleted all the photos of the two of them from his device.

Qin Nanyu sat beside her, carefully observing the expressions on her face.

Unsure if his current pitiful look would garner enough sympathy to keep him safe, he collapsed back down as soon as Ji Weitian glanced at him and spoke in a wilted voice.

"Ji Weitian, my head feels a bit dizzy, and it’s hard to breathe, can you call the doctor for me?"
