Chapter 837: Who Did He Arrange to Meet?
"No need, I left a cup for myself next door." Ji Weitian greeted everyone and was just about to leave when Zhang Lingying suddenly walked over to her, raising a hand.
"I know where Qin Nanyu is."
"..."
Ji Weitian paused, raising an eyebrow at her.
Zhang Lingying took a sip of her milk tea, looked Ji Weitian up and down, and suddenly spoke: "The weather’s so hot, why are you wearing so much? Aren’t you uncomfortable?"
Ji Weitian was caught off guard by the question.
She nervously licked her lips, guilty and not answering the question, instead tugging at her sleeves, afraid that others would notice that she was dressing so heavily to cover something up.
Meanwhile, she cursed Qin Nanyu eight hundred times in her heart before smiling and asking Zhang Lingying, "I have something to discuss with Qin Nanyu, but no one answers when I call him. Did you say you know where he is?"
"Yeah."
Feeling obligated after accepting her favor, Zhang Lingying sipped her milk tea and didn’t plan on keeping her in suspense, pulling Ji Weitian to a place where no one was around before taking out her phone to show her.
"Yesterday, I was going to try to convince Leng Jian to join our lab, but after sending him a lot of messages, he didn’t respond. I was worried he was upset, so I thought I’d invite him to afternoon tea to make amends. But look at this."
Zhang Lingying opened her chat history with Leng Jian in front of Ji Weitian.
The last few lines of dialogue entered Ji Weitian’s eyes.
Leng Jian: [Can’t do today, I have an appointment.]
Zhang Lingying: [With whom? Do I know them? You wouldn’t be making up an excuse just to refuse me, right? "Sad face.jpg"]
Zhang Lingying’s rare coquettish tone seemed to make Leng Jian relax a little.
The final line was Leng Jian’s helpless reply: [You know them, Qin Nanyu.]
Followed by a location for a tea restaurant.
The conversation ended there.
Apparently, Zhang Lingying was also shocked by the answer, unable to think of anything to say for a while, so she simply stayed silent.
But her mind was churning.
Among the few who knew about Leng Jian’s feelings for Ji Weitian, she was one. Before Lu Jing intentionally told her, she had already had a vague feeling about it.
At that time, she didn’t mind and even thought love was very independent—whether Leng Jian liked her or not, she could like Leng Jian, and naturally, Leng Jian could also like someone else...
Now Zhang Lingying understood that love is full of possessiveness.
For Qin Nanyu to want to meet Leng Jian alone, knowing he liked Ji Weitian, carried an unusual significance.
Zhang Lingying wrestled with the decision of whether or not to tell Ji Weitian, fearing the two men might secretly engage in a life-or-death duel behind her back.
But on the other hand, she worried about Leng Jian feeling betrayed.
When Ji Weitian came to her, she couldn’t hold back and spilled everything she knew.
"Leng Jian and I met a while ago and cleared things up. He said he didn’t want to be with me because he felt I didn’t understand what love is; dating me would be like deceiving me. But I know that’s only part of it. The other part is that he probably hasn’t gotten over you, has he? Do you think he and Qin Nanyu will fight?"
Ji Weitian: "..."
Ji Weitian asked Zhang Lingying for the address, then turned and left the lab.
She was very familiar with that tea restaurant; it was where she had met with Leng Jian just yesterday, not far from Jiangcheng University.
