Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 719: Major Car Accident Scene

Zhang Lingying didn’t answer his question, but her gaze unconsciously shifted toward his pocket... her phone had been taken by him.

Before Lu Jing snatched her phone away, she was looking at the scandal that was causing a huge uproar today.

Someone had exposed that she was having an affair with Qin Nanyu, suspecting they were dating, and even gave them a couple’s name, calling them the "Scholarly Couple."

But it seemed the scandal hadn’t had time to ferment before Qin Nanyu stepped out to debunk it.

Not only did he openly show affection with Ji Weitian in the Jiangcheng University cafeteria, but he also announced on social media that he was dating Ji Weitian.

Qin Nanyu was not an ordinary person; he represented not only himself but also the entire Qin Technology Group. Going public with his relationship was like telling everyone that he had the courage to accept public scrutiny and had also recognized Ji Weitian...

Zhang Lingying’s eyes flickered slightly, but her expression didn’t change much.

Seeing that she wasn’t talking and was just staring at his pocket, Lu Jing remembered the phone he had put in his pocket and took it out.

The screen was already locked. He didn’t return the phone to Zhang Lingying but, while she was still in a daze, quickly grabbed her hand and unlocked it with her fingerprint.

As expected, he found that she was looking at today’s news.

"This is my phone, can you please respect people’s privacy?" Zhang Lingying growled lowly with some annoyance when she saw him flipping through her phone records.

Lu Jing only glanced at it before sincerely returning the phone to her and saying, "Sorry."

Zhang Lingying: "..."

Could she beat him up and then apologize afterward?

She reached for her phone to take it back and was about to walk away when she stuffed it into her pocket.

Just as she turned around, Lu Jing’s voice rang out behind her, "Qin Nanyu chose the day your scandal was exposed to openly declare his love for Ji Weitian with great fanfare, without any consideration for your feelings. Aren’t you angry at all?"

Qin Nanyu’s confession, rather than being a declaration to Ji Weitian, seemed more like he was eager to clear his relationship with Zhang Lingying.

Now, many media were speculating whether the scandal was manipulated by Zhang Lingying, attempting to use public opinion to force Qin Nanyu into a relationship with her.

After all, for a prized son like Qin Nanyu, this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

Luo Xinyan had previously used such tactics, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Zhang Lingying did the same.

Just a few hours ago, as many people who supported Qin Nanyu and Zhang Lingying as the "Scholarly Couple," were now as many cursing Zhang Lingying as a scheming bitch, laughing at her self-directed and self-performed attempt to climb the ladder only to be publicly slapped in the face by Qin Nanyu’s confession to Ji Weitian.

There were harsh words, and Lu Jing didn’t believe she didn’t care at all.

"The scandal wasn’t exposed by me. Whatever they say naturally has nothing to do with me. Why should I be angry?" Zhang Lingying turned around, giving Lu Jing a fleeting glance with a hint of disdain in her eyes, looking down on the petty tricks he was playing.

Lu Jing’s eyes narrowed, and his voice cooled down, "You might not care about public opinion, but do you really not care about Qin Nanyu?"

In this matter, Qin Nanyu had not considered her feelings from start to finish.

She liked Qin Nanyu, yet she had to watch as he publicly distanced himself from her to protect Ji Weitian, causing her to be mocked by everyone. Didn’t she harbor even a hint of resentment in her heart?

"Who told you that I like Qin Nanyu?"

Zhang Lingying turned around completely, her gaze steady as she stared at Lu Jing as if thinking of something.
