Chapter 698: True Alliance of the Strong - The Academic Overachievers Duo
As dawn was approaching, she finally drifted off in a daze.
It was only by silently cursing in her heart, wishing Qin Nanyu to be impotent, that she barely managed to fall asleep.
She had not been asleep for long when the alarm went off.
Climbing out of bed with a splitting headache, her resentment towards Qin Nanyu deepened a few degrees.
She forced herself to get up and brushed her teeth while flipping through the news on her phone.
Right as she opened the page, she discovered that Qin Technology Group was trending.
Not just Qin Technology Group, but also Qin Nanyu and Zhang Lingying were trending.
Somehow, journalists had got wind of the news that Qin Nanyu had invited Zhang Lingying to help in the laboratory.
They even dug up the relationship between Zhang Lingying and Professor Zhang, clear as day.
The first few news articles reminisced about the passing of Professor Zhang, and the later ones started speculating about what Qin Nanyu intended by bringing the professor’s daughter over.
Following that, someone online released photos of Qin Nanyu having dinner with Zhang Lingying.
In the photos, Ji Weitian and the two little ones were pixelated out, leaving only Qin Nanyu and Zhang Lingying.
There were a few more photos — taken from peculiar angles — that managed to capture a five-person dinner but somehow gave off the vibe of a candlelit dinner for two.
The caption was, "True·Power Alliance·Academic Elite Combo."
They forcefully paired up Qin Nanyu and Zhang Lingying as a couple, pitting them against the previously formed couple of Qin Nanyu and Ji Weitian.
Heated discussions arose about who was better suited for Qin Nanyu: Ji Weitian or Zhang Lingying.
"Let whoever wants him have him, I couldn’t care less!"
Ji Weitian sneered inwardly, turned off her phone screen, and headed back to her room to change clothes and leave.
When she left, she glanced at the guest room, noting that Qin Nanyu was already gone.
The two little ones had also left the house.
Out of a family of four, she was the slowest to get moving.
By the time Ji Weitian arrived at the laboratory, it was already bustling with activity.
As a data manager, there wasn’t much she could help with in the lab, so she simply returned to her own office and organized all the materials they needed for the experiment.
When she was busy, time flew by quickly.
Ji Weitian hardly noticed how time slipped by, and before she knew it, it was noon and she was just about to go for lunch when Lei Yunjia rushed into her office with a meal box and a phone in hand.
"Teacher Ji, have you seen the news? You’re trending!"
Before Ji Weitian could even respond, Lei Yunjia placed the meal box down and shoved his phone in front of her, enlarging the message on the screen.
Unbeknownst to Ji Weitian, the striking headline "#SweetPotatoCoupleBreakup" had already surged to the top of the trending searches.
She paused for a moment, and with Lei Yunjia’s reminder, she realized that "Sweet Potato Couple" referred to her and Qin Nanyu.
Sweet Potato...
Ji Weitian couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The netizens were too talented; only they could come up with such a cheesy name.
But breakup... She and Qin Nanyu had never really been together, so where did the idea of them breaking up come from?
"Teacher Ji, everyone’s saying you broke up with President Qin, how can you still laugh?" Lei Yunjia asked incredulously, beating his chest and stamping his feet in distress.
It seemed that he too was a devoted fan of the Sweet Potato Couple, desperately anxious.
His fingers quickly scrolled down to the comment section.
The most popular comments all featured photos of Qin Nanyu having dinner with Zhang Lingying, confirming that Ji Weitian was a thing of the past, and Zhang Lingying was the present with Qin Nanyu...
