Chapter 647: You’ve Already Made Your Choice [Extra - for Monthly Votes]
Lu Jing had delivered his most devastating line.
Leng Jian almost wavered...
"How did you answer him?" After her initial shock, Ji Weitian suddenly calmed down and watched Leng Jian quietly.
They had known each other for so many years, weathering storms together that most people could not imagine.
She believed in Leng Jian.
"I haven’t replied to him yet. I left Lu Jing’s place when I saw you were contacting me," Leng Jian replied without any concealment, reporting the situation honestly.
His openness left no room for anyone to associate him with anything underhanded.
As he finished, the corner of his mouth curled up in a smile that was not quite a smile, "I originally thought this was a serious matter and wanted to discuss some strategies with you, but now it seems that you have already made your choice."
His heart was set on protecting her, but in her heart, there was only Qin Nanyu.
Leng Jian’s heart sank again and again, as if plunging into an abyss.
She would never know how anxious he was when he realized Lu Jing might become aware of her identity because of him.
When he heard Lu Jing’s threats and temptations, his mind was filled with concerns for her safety.
But now he realized how ridiculous he was.
In her eyes, her own safety might not even compare to one of Qin Nanyu’s projects.
For Qin Nanyu, she was willing to risk her safety, seemingly disregardful of the possibility of exposing her own identity.
"Lu Jing might suspect me because of the authorization letter from Dr. CC that I produced at the last product launch of Qin Technology Group," Ji Weitian said, not noticing Leng Jian’s expression, as she looked down at the water cup in front of her, analyzing slowly.
She didn’t have many friends, and the only people she trusted were Leng Jian and Kali.
But even Kali didn’t know her true identity.
Lu Jing wasn’t completely certain, which is why he deliberately approached Leng Jian, hoping to probe from him.
Leng Jian had warned her when she had first brought out the authorization letter; if Dr. CC got involved in corporate competition, it would inevitably lead to endless troubles.
But she was in a hurry to help Qin Nanyu then and didn’t listen...
"I’m sorry. I got you involved," Ji Weitian apologized sincerely.
If it wasn’t for her, Leng Jian wouldn’t have been drawn into so much trouble.
Lu Jing was probably already investigating Dr. CC’s identity. That’s why he reacted so quickly after the authorization letter appeared, tracing it back and suspecting her.
It must have been hard for Leng Jian to conceal her identity for her during this time.
This apology was what she owed him.
But she didn’t regret helping Qin Nanyu.
Not just for him alone, but for all the research staff in the laboratory.
"The methods of Re Group’s competition were too despicable, I couldn’t just watch the team’s hard work get wasted in the hands of scum like Zhao Zhao and Luo Xinyan. If I had to do it all over again, even knowing it could raise suspicions about my identity, I would make the same choice!"
Ji Weitian’s voice was clear and deliberate.
Hearing this, Leng Jian’s eyes flickered with surprise as he looked at her.
"Is that all?"
Was she really acting so recklessly, not just for Qin Nanyu?
Leng Jian thought of something, and the anger in his eyes receded.
How could he forget? In the lab, she was a rare talent, but in life, she could barely take care of herself, causing her daughter to worry about her.
No one knew better than him how oblivious Ji Weitian was to affection.
Otherwise, how could she not have a slightest clue about his deep feelings for her after so many years of acquaintance, always saying she wanted to be his lifelong friend, his partner...
