Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 846: Letting Bygones Be Bygones

"Lei Yunjia is young and very ambitious. I saw he had good comprehension, so I taught him some quick algorithms. This is what I call appreciating talent." Ji Weitian praised herself.

At the time, she showed her notes to Lei Yunjia because she admired him. But now, with Leng Jian’s question, it seemed she had ulterior motives.

Ji Weitian was about to defend herself when she heard Leng Jian ask, "You’ve never been jealous of Qin Nanyu’s research team?"

Ji Weitian: "..."

This question was too probing; she couldn’t answer it.

But admitting it would be like confessing she coveted Qin Nanyu’s talents.

"It was me asking you, how did it become you interrogating me?" Ji Weitian snapped back to reality and lightly punched Leng Jian.

Leng Jian smiled knowingly and said nothing.

The way they interacted was like friends, or even like family.

To outsiders, it appeared somewhat intimate.

That Leng Jian would join the research team of Qin Technology Group had already surprised Zhang Lingying. Now, seeing their interaction, she hesitated with the water she was holding for Leng Jian.

Leng Jian noticed her gaze and looked over.

Meeting her eyes full of thoughts, he tilted his head to signal for her to come over.

Zhang Lingying handed him the cup, "You guys have things to discuss, so I won’t disturb you..."

"What’s wrong? You’ve been avoiding me all afternoon, do I eat people?" Leng Jian took the cup, thanked her, and continued asking.

As soon as he spoke, he successfully stopped Zhang Lingying, who was planning to leave.

Ji Weitian also looked over at her.

Zhang Lingying clutched the hem of her clothes, coughed lightly, lowered her voice, and looked at Leng Jian, saying, "I admit I shouldn’t have leaked the news that you were going to meet Qin Nanyu to Weitian, but I was just worried about you. But why didn’t you fight with Qin Nanyu and even came to our lab?"

Before Leng Jian could speak, Zhang Lingying pouted and muttered, "I went out of my way to please you yesterday, worried if you were angry, but it turns out you were just playing with me."

Yesterday, she sent Leng Jian a message, asking if he was willing to join their lab, but Leng Jian didn’t reply to her message.

Zhang Lingying assumed in her mind that Leng Jian refused to help Qin Technology Group because of his love rival relationship with Qin Nanyu.

But now Leng Jian was here again...

Zhang Lingying oscillated between the emotions of betraying Leng Jian and feeling played by him, and in the end, didn’t know whether to feel guilty or angry.

Thus, Leng Jian saw her awkward demeanor all afternoon.

"Silly girl." Leng Jian put down the cup, stood up from his chair, and reached out to ruffle Zhang Lingying’s hair, "In the adult world, it’s not just about acting on impulse. More often, we need to weigh the pros and cons and make decisions that are best for the people around us."

"..."

"Joining your lab was a last-minute decision. I’ll tell you the details some other day, and when you messaged me yesterday, I wasn’t angry, just hadn’t figured it out yet. I originally thought you’d be happy to see me this afternoon."

Zhang Lingying: "... I am a bit happy."

Leng Jian’s smile grew softer, "I’m sorry for not telling you immediately."

Zhang Lingying hurriedly waved her hand, "That’s not necessary, as long as you’re not mad at me, I won’t be so petty."
