Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 678: A Rare Display of Gentlemanly Grace

Outside, they don’t sell it; only the pastry chef at Qin Family Villa can make it.

But she remembered that the cake-making process was very troublesome and required a long wait.

Ji Weitian calculated the time they had been at Qin Family Villa and felt it wasn’t enough. Where did Qin Nanyu get the cake from?

"On the way back, I asked the pastry chef to make it in advance, but there still wasn’t enough time. I just waited a while longer, so I came out late. Did you get anxious?" Qin Nanyu sat in the driver’s seat, stretching out his hand to buckle his seatbelt as he turned and asked her.

"..."

Ji Weitian stared at the cake in her hand, knowing that he had come out so slowly because he was waiting for the cake for her. The gloom that had been weighing on her heart just a second ago vanished in an instant.

She opened the box and ate the cake with delight.

After tasting a few bites, she couldn’t help but praise, "The pastry chef at Qin Family Villa’s skills have gotten even better. Today’s cake is more delicious than any I’ve had before!"

"..."

Qin Nanyu hadn’t expected to hear her say this. He raised an eyebrow, looking over to see Ji Weitian, like a child with a piece of cake, her eyes curved into a smile.

That kind of smile made her whole person shine bright as light.

Her fair skin was glowing with a lustrous sheen, and her whole body radiated warmth.

Qin Nanyu almost subconsciously and uncontrollably leaned towards her.

Before his rationality could regain control, he had already leaned down and kissed her lips gently.

Then, he realized she was stunned.

Staring blankly with eyes wide open, shocked as she looked at him.

The atmosphere in the car changed in an instant.

By the time both of them had come to their senses, Qin Nanyu had already returned to the driver’s seat, and Ji Weitian, holding the cake, had scooted to the edge of the passenger seat door.

Her face was as red as an autumn apple.

Too nervous to look into Qin Nanyu’s eyes, she just used the fork in her hand to prod piece after piece of cake into her mouth.

Almost choking in her haste.

In the end, it was Qin Nanyu who kindly handed her a bottle of water, saving her from a near-death experience by cake.

The entire way was eerily quiet.

"You don’t need to escort me up. I can go by myself. Regarding the experiment, if there’s anything needed, you can call me."

As the car arrived at Nanpo Apartment, Ji Weitian, as if fleeing for her life, opened the car door without a word and scrambled to run.

But she had only run a few steps when the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of Qin Nanyu getting out of the car as well.

Closing the car door, he followed behind her.

Was he being a gentleman and ensuring she got back safely by accompanying her?

Might as well accompany her.

Ji Weitian walked ahead with her head down, though she had many questions she wanted to ask. But thinking about what had happened in the car just now, she found herself unable to speak.

All she wanted was to quickly get home, wash her face with cold water, and calm down.

It wasn’t until she reached the entrance of the apartment that she stopped, unable to help herself as Qin Nanyu was still following her.

"Qin Nanyu, I’m home now. You must be tired after driving for so long. You should go back and rest."

"Um," Qin Nanyu nodded but didn’t move toward the elevator. Instead, he took steps towards her and came to a stop behind her, his voice low.

"Don’t you have your keys? Why aren’t you opening the door?"

"...I have them."

Ji Weitian took out the keys from her bag and handed them to him.

These were the keys he had given to her at the restaurant; how could she not have them?

But who was going to tell her, not only did he open the door for her, why did he even take off his shoes and enter her apartment?
