Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 676: The More I Think About It, The More I Feel Like I’ve Lost Big Time!

For some inexplicable reason, she hoped Qin Nanyu would refuse Zhang Lingying, yet she felt that it was a bit of a loss to refuse such simple terms that could secure a talent.

Moreover, their current experimental progress really couldn’t afford any more delays.

Inside Ji Weitian, it was as though two little people were fighting a battle.

One of them was urging her to prompt Qin Nanyu to agree, the other was telling her to stop Qin Nanyu from agreeing.

In the end, she didn’t know what her own stance should be.

Not until Qin Nanyu’s voice rang in her ears, "Okay."

The heart Ji Weitian had been holding up seemed to fall back into her chest in an instant, yet it felt empty...

She couldn’t quite describe the feeling.

They hadn’t made this trip in vain; they hadn’t managed to invite Professor Zhang, but they had managed to invite his daughter.

She should feel happy.

But when she saw Zhang Lingying smiling radiantly as she turned and went upstairs to pack her luggage, getting ready to move to the Qin Family Villa, she couldn’t muster a smile.

Without waiting for Zhang Lingying to finish packing and come downstairs, Ji Weitian turned and walked outside.

"Where are you going?"

Qin Nanyu stopped her immediately, looking down as he asked.

When it came to work, Ji Weitian was not someone who acted petulant, she took a deep breath and calmed her emotions.

"It’s a bit stuffy in the living room; I’ll go to the car first. You stay here and wait for her."

Qin Nanyu, holding her hand, didn’t let go. Instead, he pulled her to his side and cast an indifferent glance in the direction of the stairwell, his thin lips slightly parting.

"Zhang Lingying is not a child that needs my supervision. This is her home, she’s more familiar with it than I am. But you, on the other hand, I need to keep a closer watch on."

After he spoke, he held her hand tighter without a word.

They held hands firmly and walked outside together.

Ji Weitian barely kept up with his pace and muttered softly, "She’s not a child, and neither am I. I’m even older than her; you shouldn’t underestimate me."

She didn’t even know why she was comparing herself with Zhang Lingying.

But she just didn’t like the way Qin Nanyu spoke of Zhang Lingying, as if he understood and trusted her completely.

Towards her, on the other hand, he was always cautious, always on guard.

Who would have known, right after she finished speaking, Qin Nanyu suddenly paused, looked down at her seriously for a moment, and nodded in approval.

"You are older than her."

Ji Weitian: "..."!!

You jerk!

Zhang Lingying was able to solve their problems and was even willing to go with them—this wasn’t a scenario Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian had anticipated before their visit.

On the return journey, Qin Nanyu still drove his little rundown car. When Zhang Lingying saw his car, a clear surprise showed in her eyes, but she actually managed to refrain from asking a single question.

Even Ji Weitian couldn’t help but give her props for that.

So collected!

"You lead the way in your car, and I’ll follow behind you," Zhang Lingying said cheerfully as she tossed her luggage into the trunk and opened the car door.

At this time, Ji Weitian had already seated herself in the car and watched through the windshield as Qin Nanyu stood at the front of the car, considerately closing the door for Zhang Lingying and reminding her to be careful while driving.

Unable to bear it any longer, she internally griped: A sickly man who can’t even take care of himself has the nerve to remind someone else to be safe.

If it hadn’t been for her timely discovery of him fainting from fever on the couch yesterday, he would probably be lacking even his little life right now.

She went through so much trouble to help him reduce his fever, and he didn’t say a word of thanks. In the end, she even got dragged into it...

The more Ji Weitian thought about it, the more she felt she had suffered a great loss.

When Qin Nanyu opened the door and sat down in the car, she couldn’t help but glare at him fiercely: Scumbag!
