Chapter 535: Utter Nonsense with a Straight Face
Chapter 535: Utter Nonsense with a Straight Face
Ji Weitian felt a slight twinge of pain in her heart and inexplicably empathized with him.
She too hadn’t grown up with her biological parents, but she was luckier than Qin Nanyu.
She had met her adoptive parents.
Although her adoptive parents weren’t well-educated or wealthy, they truly adored her and took care of her as their own daughter.
On her path to growth, she never felt the absence of paternal or maternal love.
"Rest assured and sleep, I won’t leave today, I’ll stay right here with you," Ji Weitian licked her lips and said softly.
As soon as she spoke, Leng Jian’s reminder echoed in her mind.
"Qin Nanyu has started to suspect you; if you want to hide the truth, keep your distance from him, whether it’s you or Yaoyao, stay away from him!"
Yes, keeping her distance was indeed the safest course of action.
But seeing the vulnerable Qin Nanyu in front of her, Ji Weitian simply couldn’t bring herself to maintain that distance.
Ji Weitian’s thoughts were still a bit jumbled when, in the next second, she suddenly caught sight of Qin Nanyu making room on the other side of the bed, moving to create enough space for another person to lie down, signaling her frantically.
Ji Weitian: "..."
How could he be so pushy? Why doesn’t he just take off to the sky?
Ji Weitian glared at him and tried to stand up from the chair when a strong arm firmly grabbed her wrist, preventing her from leaving.
"Where are you going? You just said you wouldn’t leave today and would stay with me. Ji Weitian, telling lies will make your nose grow longer!"
Qin Nanyu was dead serious, spouting nonsense.
Ji Weitian paused, glanced up and down at him, and at first patiently explained that she wasn’t planning to leave.
Qin Nanyu didn’t let go, insistent, "I don’t believe it; you must have changed your mind and are trying to trick me into letting go so you can turn around and leave. I’m not falling for it unless you tell me what you want to do."
Ji Weitian tried to shake off his hand a few times without success and, in a fit of pique, shouted at him.
"I urgently need to pee, I’m going to the restroom, are you satisfied now?!"
Qin Nanyu: "..."!!
With her face flushed and in a fit of pique, Ji Weitian shook off his hand and, before turning to head to the restroom, couldn’t help but pick up a pillow to hit Qin Nanyu a few times to vent her frustration.
By the time she returned from the restroom, although she hadn’t left the hospital, she resolutely ignored Qin Nanyu.
She sat on the sofa, hugging her laptop, attending to emails she hadn’t had time to check.
Qin Nanyu wanted to get up and cling to her, but was glared at by Ji Weitian and lay back down.
He could only prop up his head and watch her from a not too close nor too far distance.
Until Ji Weitian issued an ultimatum.
"If you don’t fall asleep within ten minutes, I’ll take my computer and leave immediately, and I won’t come to see you at the hospital tomorrow. You can fend for yourself here."
"..." Qin Nanyu hastily lay down.
Obediently, he pulled the blanket over himself, like a kindergarten kid scolded by the teacher, and closed his eyes diligently trying to sleep.
But his eyelids kept fluttering nonstop.
And occasionally, they cracked open a slit, sneaking peeks at Ji Weitian.
Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling’s features were entirely inherited from Ji Weitian, with big eyes, a small nose, and a cute little mouth...
The only difference between mother and daughter was probably their temperament.
When Ji Weitian sat in front of the computer, she always gave off a vibe that kept people at a thousand-mile distance.
It was as if nothing could catch her eye other than the content on the screen, let alone gain her concern.
