Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 778: One Thing Supersedes Another

Leng Jian gripped the water glass tightly in his hand and took a while to come back to his senses, simply staring at Zhang Lingying with a look of utter astonishment, as if his soul had been ripped out of his body, leaving only an empty shell behind.

Zhang Lingying waited for a good while, and seeing that he hadn’t reacted at all, didn’t rush him.

The little princess is prone to shyness, after all. It was only right to let him think it over properly.

But she was genuinely thirsty. Noticing that Leng Jian seemed unlikely to say anything for the next little while, she reached out to take the water glass from his hand.

Leng Jian’s grip on the cup was a bit tight. She couldn’t get it on her first try, but after applying a little more force and asking him to let go, she finally managed to take the cup and took a sip, bending her head down.

"I came straight here after work and haven’t had the chance to eat. Do you have anything to eat at your place?" Zhang Lingying put the water glass down and turned her head to look into the kitchen.

Leng Jian’s house was not small, yet it was immaculately clean, giving off the impression that it was untouched by cooking, hardly the kind of place where one would cook a meal.

Zhang Lingying took a look around and made a silent note.

It didn’t matter if he didn’t like to cook. She did.

Ever since her father passed away, she had been taking care of herself. It wouldn’t be a big deal to take care of one more person in the future.

With that in mind, she plainly asked, "What do you usually like to eat? Do you have any dietary restrictions or allergies like seafood, or can’t handle spicy food?"

Leng Jian: "..."

Zhang Lingying: "Oh, I forgot. You’re still considering whether or not to be my little princess."

Leng Jian: "..."

At this moment, he had a cognitive dissonance towards the term "little princess."

He understood every word she said; but when strung together, he couldn’t understand a single word.

However, Zhang Lingying, who was quite forward, already considered them friends and wasn’t in a rush to get a response from him. Seeing that he wasn’t answering and that there was nothing to eat at home, she pulled him and started walking out the door.

"Let’s go out to eat. We didn’t get to drink to our heart’s content last time, so you can keep me company for a little more today."

"...Wait a second." Leng Jian finally snapped out of it in the last second before she pulled him out of the door and shook off her arm.

He took a few steps back, increasing the distance between them.

Zhang Lingying paused, turned around, and looked at him somewhat surprised.

"Are you angry?"

In her bright eyes, there was a trace of bewilderment.

Such pure eyes instinctively made people want to be lenient with her.

Leng Jian coughed and cleared his throat, meeting her gaze, and the words he intended to speak in refusal hesitated for two seconds after he remembered she had rushed over here after work. He finally spoke.

"I’m still in my loungewear, let me change my clothes."

"Okay." Zhang Lingying agreed very obediently and then followed behind him, ready to accompany him to his room to change clothes.

Afraid that she really would follow him in, Leng Jian asked her to wait outside as he reached the door.

Zhang Lingying didn’t object, but as she watched his retreating back, she suddenly muttered, "With a body as good as yours, you look good in anything. If you didn’t wear anything, that might look even better..."

Leng Jian, who had just reached the door, stumbled, nearly crashing headfirst into it.

He turned back to glare at her.

Zhang Lingying immediately put her hand over her mouth, opting to stay silent.

Leng Jian, experiencing being teased by a woman for the first time, tried hard to appear calm, but his ears were faintly turning red.

After entering the room, he shut the bedroom door with force!
