Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 691: It’s coming, it’s finally coming!

"I was smitten with her at first sight," Qin Nanyu’s thin lips parted slightly, pausing after each word.

"Bang—"

Weitian’s hand shook, and the chopsticks poking into the rice knocked over the bowl.

Her eyes, wide as copper bells, stared in disbelief at Qin Nanyu, who spoke with such seriousness and nonsense.

He really dared to say it!

Hearing the noise, Qin Nanyu paused in his speech and turned his head to glance in her direction.

Ignoring the astonished expression on her face, he merely looked at the overturned rice bowl to ensure she was all right, then raised his hand to signal a waiter to serve her a new bowl of rice.

He then turned to Zhang Lingying again and explained in a light tone, "She’s just as easily shy as she was the year we first met."

Weitian: "..."

Seeing Zhang Lingying’s utterly convinced demeanor, Weitian didn’t know what to say anymore.

He had painstakingly constructed a façade of profound affection for her—was he now going to tell Zhang Lingying that his love for Weitian was as deep as the ocean, and that it was she who had failed to cherish it? Hence, despite them having a lovely pair of dragon and phoenix twin babies, they had, in the end, come to a parting of the ways.

The current appearance of harmony was all just to create a good environment for the children to grow up in.

Weitian had lost her appetite.

She put down her chopsticks and picked up the cup of water by her side, taking a sip to calm her nerves.

So she doesn’t end up losing her temper and beating him up!

"What happened after that? Did you stay together all this time? Then why do the gossip journalists claim you only have a son and the mother’s identity is unknown? That you’ve been the sole caretaker of the child for these four years?"

Zhang Lingying continued to ask.

She was asking the very question Weitian was most worried about.

Here it comes, finally.

Qin Nanyu was about to paint her as an unfaithful woman who abandoned her husband and child to uphold his own image as a man of deep affection.

Weitian, like Zhang Lingying, held her breath in anticipation, nervously waiting for Qin Nanyu to speak.

She clenched the water cup in her hand tightly and shot Qin Nanyu a warning glance, signaling him to choose his words wisely.

If he went too far, she wouldn’t hesitate to smash the cup against his head and show him what a real femme fatale looked like!

"It was all my fault," Qin Nanyu put down his chopsticks and suddenly spoke up.

Before Weitian could recover, he had already turned his head to look at her, "It was because I was too young back then, not knowing how to cherish the people by my side, causing us to miss out on five years together."

"..."

Weitian’s heart pounded like thunder.

Meeting his gaze and hearing his apology filled with remorse, for a brief moment—if she hadn’t been the person involved—she would have believed his story.

And Qin Nanyu wasn’t finished. As he spoke, he took the opportunity to shift the two little ones from between them and sat himself down next to her.

His hand reached for hers, the one holding the cup.

His deep, black eyes gazed at her tenderly and affectionately.

No words were spoken.

Yet the silence was more powerful than any speech.

Not just Zhang Lingying was dumbfounded; Weitian herself was nearly bewildered. Her mind turned to mush, unable to discern what play he was performing now.

This was not the scenario she had imagined.

By speaking in such a way, he was essentially telling everyone that he was a married man, and that it would be impossible for Zhang Lingying to like him!

Wasn’t he specifically out to dinner with Zhang Lingying tonight?

Had he mistaken something?

Weitian’s lips quivered slightly, wanting to say something, but found herself at a loss for words.
