Chapter 842: The Slap in the Face Was Too Harsh
"..." Ji Weitian’s body became stiff, a flash of anger appearing on her face.
Thinking about how she had just told Qin Nanyu and his disbelieving, dismissive expression, she felt really upset.
With a hint of frustration.
Now being questioned by Leng Jian, she dug her fingers into her palms and couldn’t respond for a while.
Leng Jian noticed her awkward reaction and slightly raised an eyebrow, "You haven’t told him yet?"
"I have." Ji Weitian pouted, responding in a muffled voice.
"Then why do you have this expression?" Leng Jian now wasn’t just raising an eyebrow, but directly knitting his brows, "Is Qin Nanyu angry because you hid it from him?"
Ji Weitian was originally worried about this, and now she even hoped Qin Nanyu had that reaction.
However, the fact was, a worse outcome had occurred.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She pressed her tongue against her cheek and gave up altogether, "He’s not angry, he just doesn’t believe it."
"What?" Leng Jian didn’t understand and was momentarily stunned.
Ji Weitian raised her voice, "I said he doesn’t believe it, yes, exactly what you’re thinking, he thinks I’m comforting him because he hasn’t found Dr. CC yet and I’m worried about the pressure on him!"
Now it was Leng Jian’s turn to fall into silence.
For a long moment, Leng Jian just maintained the same posture, not moving an inch.
Seeing his astonished look, Ji Weitian felt incredibly stifled.
The next second, Leng Jian suddenly burst into laughter, and then... laughed even louder.
Ji Weitian: "..."
She felt the deep malice from the world.
She wouldn’t be okay.
Finally, Leng Jian noticed her hopeless expression and couldn’t bear to laugh at her any longer. He stepped forward, placing a hand on her head, "It’s better this way, I never agreed with you taking risks, but you insisted on doing it."
Yes, she was stubborn, and now she’s facing the consequences.
Qin Nanyu was the debt collector from her past life, coming to collect in this life.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Ji Weitian pouted, noticed the unfamiliar smell on Leng Jian, and asked in confusion, "Why do you smell so strongly of smoke, did you smoke on the way here?"
"..."
Leng Jian’s eyes flickered, and he didn’t deny it.
He never thought there’d be a day when he’d have to watch her with someone else and cooperate with a Love Rival.
It wasn’t exactly overwhelming, but he still felt a bit uneasy inside.
Now seeing her concern, he felt a lot more comfortable and jokingly said, "Qin Nanyu is pretty calm, letting you come to greet me."
"What’s there to be worried about, he’s all bark and no bite, always thinking about thanking you." Ji Weitian led Leng Jian towards the lab, answering with a smile.
Leng Jian casually put his hands in his pockets, following her unhurriedly, and upon hearing her words, chuckled, "He knows I’m not doing it for him, he’s anxious to repay the favor for you."
The distance from the document room to the lab was short, and as they reached the lab entrance, they tacitly ended their small talk.
Leng Jian dressed very low-key, and his aura wasn’t as flamboyant as Qin Nanyu’s. When he was quiet, he resembled the most popular, scholarly heartthrob from university days.
Modest, polite, gentle, and elegant.
As soon as Ji Weitian brought him into the lab, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
However, everyone else just remained in their seats, a bit curious and looking towards the door, except for Zhang Lingying, who was surprised and stood up from her seat upon seeing Leng Jian.
