Chapter 786: This is a Man’s Intuition
Lu Jing: "..."
It really was a story of three people, yet he didn’t deserve to have a name.
Zhang Lingying ignored Lu Jing’s astonished expression and swiftly climbed into Leng Jian’s car, buckling her seatbelt.
Food is best when it’s warm, and all she could think about now was hurrying to deliver the delicious items in the car to her colleagues in the lab.
Speaking of colleagues, Zhang Lingying suddenly remembered that she had messaged Ji Weitian a long time ago and Ji Weitian seemed to have not replied at all.
She rummaged through her bag for her phone, turned it on, and saw only the message she had sent to Ji Weitian.
She couldn’t quite pinpoint what felt odd; usually, when she messaged Ji Weitian, there wouldn’t be such a long silence... especially about something as significant as pursuing her crush.
"What are you thinking about?"
Leng Jian was slower getting into the car and right upon sitting down, noticed Zhang Lingying zoning out by the car door. Thinking that she was reluctant to leave Lu Jing, he raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Ah?" Zhang Lingying heard his voice, turned her head for a glance, and spoke somewhat impulsively.
"No, it’s nothing."
Her voice stuttered unusually.
She didn’t dare let Leng Jian know that she deliberately came to seduce her crush and even secretly sought help.
But seeing Leng Jian enter the car, she thought of another poor sap she had left behind in the restaurant.
She lowered the car window, stuck her head out for a glance, and seeing Lu Jing, who was slow coming out of the restaurant, hurriedly raised the window, pretending she was blind and saw nothing.
Lu Jing had driven himself here and upon seeing them leave, seemed to be ready to get into his car.
Zhang Lingying quickly urged Leng Jian, "Quick, quick, let’s go. Don’t let him follow us!"
"..." Leng Jian didn’t say anything, but still quickly started the car as she had instructed and drove away from the restaurant.
All the way, Zhang Lingying kept staring at the rearview mirror, as if expecting something or perhaps fearing something.
She might not have even noticed herself that all her thoughts were on Lu Jing...
"Do you know Lu Jing well?" Leng Jian suddenly spoke.
Zhang Lingying, free-spirited by nature, seemed not to take anything to heart and acted on her instincts.
Yet, people were not difficult to get along with.
However, whenever Lu Jing appeared, she’d become as cautious as a mouse spotting a cat, every move full of resistance.
Amid this resistance, there was also an interest she might not have noticed herself...
Such reactions piqued curiosity.
"You don’t care about me at all." Zhang Lingying pouted her lips, shifting her gaze from the rearview mirror, and seriously corrected Leng Jian’s words.
"I don’t know Lu Jing. He wanted my father’s help, and after discovering my father had passed away, he kept pestering me and even clung to my home... I remember I’ve told you many times already."
Zhang Lingying stressed sternly: "I really have nothing to do with him!"
Her attempt at clarification was oddly childlike.
Leng Jian didn’t know what to say, choosing to remain silent.
His eyes, however, involuntarily glanced towards the rearview mirror, where through it, he saw the car that had been following them, calm eyes subtly flickering.
Lu Jing’s interest in Zhang Lingying seemed not only to be about taking her for himself but also carried a man’s possessiveness.
This was a man’s intuition.
When the car stopped at the research building of Jiangcheng University, Leng Jian didn’t hurry Zhang Lingying upstairs, but instead, asked her to call others to come down for the meal boxes, then turned around to hold Zhang Lingying’s hand, fingers tightly interlocked, standing under the tree waiting for Lu Jing.
