Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 864: Secretly Keeping a Lover

Behind her, Lu Jing was walking towards her, wearing the men’s slippers she had just bought him yesterday, and he asked, "Do you need my help? I can cook too."

Seeing that Zhang Lingying was staring at the peephole, refusing to open the door, he curiously leaned forward, "Who’s here?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lingying’s hand was already covering his eyes.

The next second, her other hand covered his mouth.

She forcefully dragged him back to the guest room...

"What’s wrong? Who’s outside? Why are you so nervous?" Lu Jing was pulled into the room by Zhang Lingying, and just as he pulled down the hand covering his eyes, he saw Zhang Lingying looking down at the space under the bed, measuring its height with her hands, as if she wanted to hide something underneath but was afraid it wouldn’t fit.

Hearing Lu Jing’s voice, Zhang Lingying gestured for him to be silent, "There’s no time to explain, quickly lie down and see if you can fit under the bed."

Lu Jing: "..."

Seeing Lu Jing standing still, Zhang Lingying urged again, "Hurry up, what are you standing there for?"

This time, instead of moving forward, Lu Jing took a step back, sizing up the height of the bed solemnly, "No need to try, with my build, I definitely can’t fit under there."

Even if he could fit, he’d never hide under there.

He had moved into her house openly and fairly, why should he hide?

What puzzled Lu Jing now was who was outside that could make Zhang Lingying so panicked that she wanted to hide him.

Zhang Lingying was a well-known orphan adopted by Professor Zhang.

After Professor Zhang passed away, she had no relatives and, typically following Professor Zhang in experiments, she hardly had friends. Lu Jing couldn’t imagine who could make Zhang Lingying this nervous...

Before Lu Jing could come up with an answer, Zhang Lingying had already crawled up from beside the bed, rushed to the wardrobe, opened its doors, and pushed all the clothes to one side, measuring the space inside.

"Someone could hide here, come on, try it!"

Seeing Lu Jing still standing still, Zhang Lingying got anxious, "If you don’t hide, and someone finds out you’re living in my house, you’ll be sorry!"

"How sorry will I be?" Lu Jing asked humbly.

"..."

The doorbell rang again, and this time, Zhang Lingying’s phone rang too. It was Leng Jian calling.

He probably got worried something happened because of the unanswered doorbell.

"There’s no time to explain, hide immediately. No matter what sound you hear, you can’t come out. If you’re discovered, I’ll make you move out today, understood?" Zhang Lingying’s voice sank, threatening him.

Lu Jing wasn’t afraid of anything except being kicked out.

Though he looked still a bit aggrieved, he hesitantly moved towards the wardrobe. Before hiding inside, he glanced back at Zhang Lingying.

With a resentful look, as if questioning her why someone so handsome as him had to hide away.

Zhang Lingying ignored his silent protest, confirmed he could hide in the wardrobe, and promptly shut the door.

Then she turned to open the door for Leng Jian.

Outside, Leng Jian was holding a bouquet of flowers and some fruit, looking down at his phone.

Seeing her, he lifted his cool eyes and asked concernedly, "Why did it take so long to open the door? Is your cold getting worse?"

"No, I... I slept too deeply and didn’t hear the doorbell,"

Zhang Lingying answered nervously, almost biting her tongue.
