Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 774: The Enemy Lurking in the Shadows

Was she serious?

Ji Weitian lifted her head in astonishment.

When Zhang Lingying had come to her to ask for Leng Jian’s contact information yesterday, Ji Weitian had wondered if Zhang Lingying’s claim of liking Leng Jian was just a joke made in passing.

But now, hearing her so earnest about pursuing Leng Jian, Ji Weitian suddenly took the issue seriously.

"Do you really like Leng Jian?"

"What else? He’s handsome, has a good temperament, and most importantly, I always feel a closeness to him... I can’t quite say why, but I just feel comfortable around him. Maybe it’s because he’s a gentleman who wouldn’t take advantage of someone in a vulnerable state."

In contrast, Lu Jing was a bad example.

Zhang Lingying silently added this thought in her mind.

"I’m in a hurry to meet someone, so I’ll talk to you later." She waved her hand and turned to leave the laboratory.

Leaving Ji Weitian, who had just come back to her senses, holding her own phone, hesitating whether to give Leng Jian a heads-up or not. A beauty was about to throw herself at his doorstep, and she wasn’t sure if he could resist?

Ji Weitian had just dialed the number when she hung up the next second.

Pretending to know nothing, she put the phone back in her pocket, took the materials Zhang Lingying had given her, and sat back down at her spot.

After looking through the materials for a while, she took out her phone and made a call to Qin Nanyu.

His phone was turned on.

But he still didn’t answer the call.

Stingy...

Had he been upset all night and still wasn’t over it?

The more Ji Weitian thought about it, the angrier she got. She abruptly turned off her phone and tucked it into her pocket, focusing on designing her program...

All day long, Ji Weitian didn’t leave the laboratory.

All day long, Qin Nanyu didn’t show up either.

Everyone in the laboratory was busy with the new program, and since Ji Weitian had been conducting experiments, she seemed normal, so nobody noticed that her mood was off.

As it neared leaving time, all the lab members were immersed in their work, it was Lei Yunjia who, while taking a drink of water, looked up and asked Ji Weitian a question.

"Teacher Ji, it’s almost time to leave, why are you still testing the new program? President Qin will be coming to pick you up soon."

"..."

Hearing someone mention Qin Nanyu, her eyes dimmed a shade.

In the past, when Qin Nanyu was busy and couldn’t come to the lab, he would still make a point to come and fetch her at leaving time.

But today... he probably wouldn’t come.

Lei Yunjia had just casually asked, and without waiting for Ji Weitian to reply, quickly took a sip of water, and then plunged back into her own experiments.

As his figure disappeared, Ji Weitian reached out to take her phone, holding onto a sliver of hope, and turned it on.

Seeing the clean call log on the screen, her gaze grew misty.

Bastard!

If he’s capable, let him be angry forever. It would be best if he never showed up again.

Ji Weitian stuffed the phone back into her pocket and lowered her head to continue her experiments.

When it was time to leave, her phone finally rang, but the caller wasn’t Qin Nanyu; it was Leng Jian.

"There’s a master within the Re Corporation that we didn’t know about. Someone has improved and optimized the small program you designed, and they’ve just announced their new research achievements to the public..."

Before Leng Jian could finish his words, people in the lab had already received the news and begun to discuss it.

"We haven’t been able to catch up with Re Corporation’s experimental progress, and they’ve upgraded again. At this pace, how can we possibly catch up?"

"We have a hardware advantage right now, but we’re still too far behind in program design. We need a Doctor with a CC degree..."
