Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 764: Not Daring to Utter a Single Word

Ji Weitian clung to him tightly as if she was afraid he’d push her away, nestling into his embrace and rubbing her head against his chest as she quietly muttered.

"Qin Nanyu, if you’re jealous, just tell me, and I’ll soothe you."

"..."

"Don’t get inexplicably upset. I’ve never been in a relationship before. If you get angry for no reason, I’ll think you don’t like me anymore, and that would make me really sad." Ji Weitian sniffled, lifting her head to look at him with a bit of a pitiful expression in her small eyes, like a fluffy little animal seeking its owner’s approval.

She was acting coquettish.

And it was the unfairly cute kind of coquettish.

If it hadn’t been for the lab and other people around, Qin Nanyu would certainly have shown her the serious consequences of her making him defenseless with such coquettish behavior.

Yet, even with people around, Qin Nanyu didn’t want to push her away.

The anger that had built up in his chest had dissipated a great deal because of her soft, sweet voice.

She was right; he was jealous.

Sickeningly so, and yet he had to pretend to be rational, as if he were simply reasoning with her.

Hearing her protect Leng Jian in every way, treating him like an outsider, the rational thread in his brain had snapped instantly.

But now, she was confessing to him earnestly, telling him her heart only had room for him, that she only liked him.

Qin Nanyu could hardly tell whether she was genuinely trying to appease him or just covering for Leng Jian so he wouldn’t pursue Leng Jian’s identity any further...

"Ji Weitian..." At the sound of his own voice, he realized how hoarse he was.

For no other reason than that she was still leaning on him, holding him tightly.

As if knowing he was upset, she snuggled closer into his embrace, trying to please him.

Qin Nanyu thought several times about pushing her away, but in the end, he couldn’t resist and just let her misbehave.

He cleared his throat and spoke again.

"Don’t think I don’t know you’re changing the subject. This isn’t working on me."

He sounded fierce, but in truth, he no longer wanted to pursue the matter.

Just as he was about to push Ji Weitian down onto the chair to make her behave and stop teasing him, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye of someone approaching.

"I mean... can you guys pick another place to show affection under broad daylight?" Zhang Lingying, holding a file, seemed about to ask something, but when she saw the two huddled together at the main control desk, she immediately turned into a lemon.

So sour!

Her tone still carried a hint of teasing.

As soon as Ji Weitian saw someone coming, she finally remembered they were in a lab, not at home. Hastily, she withdrew her hands and stepped back, creating a distance between her and Qin Nanyu.

But Qin Nanyu, who had been cool and distant just a moment ago, now seemed quite nonchalant and unconcerned with Zhang Lingying’s teasing.

"We’ve always been affectionate, no need to show off."

After saying that, he turned to glance at Ji Weitian.

Ji Weitian felt her cheeks heat up from his gaze.

She had the feeling he was deliberately helping Zhang Lingying tease her.

She didn’t dare to utter a word in response.

Zhang Lingying clicked her tongue, seemingly dissatisfied with being force-fed the couple’s affections, and indignantly said, "Don’t go too far, you guys. It’s just a relationship. Don’t bully us single people. Wait until I get a boyfriend, and we’ll see who’s better."

With that, Zhang Lingying immediately turned to ask Ji Weitian, "Speaking of boyfriends, I think your friend Leng Jian is not bad. How about you give me his number, and I go flirt with him right now?"
