Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 875: Can’t Mess With Him, Can Only Soothe

"If we can’t find the body, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re truly dead," Qin Nanyu suddenly spoke.

Ji Weitian shook her head and said, "Leng Jian told me, that his sister snuck out and fell into that river, which has a rapid current. Even an adult would have a hard time surviving, let alone a child. And the rescue team found his sister’s shoes on the riverbank, and they fished out her clothes from the river too."

Basically, getting to this point and still reassuring oneself is self-deception.

Leng Jian isn’t a fool; he knows in his heart that he no longer has a sister...

"Have you seen a photo of his sister?" Qin Nanyu asked again.

Ji Weitian nodded, "I’ve seen it once, in a family photo at Leng Jian’s place. A picture of a family of four, but that photo is very old. At that time, Leng Jian was very young, and his sister was even younger..."

Ji Weitian paused, as if recalling something, then suddenly raised her head and said, "I don’t remember clearly, but if I’m not mistaken, the little girl in that photo bears at least a seventy percent resemblance to Zhang Lingying. It’s just that she was too young, her facial features hadn’t developed fully, so even when I saw Zhang Lingying, I didn’t connect the two."

"..."

"Whether Zhang Lingying is really Leng Jian’s biological sister or not, Leng Jian completely treats her like a sister now. If Zhang Lingying was with anyone else, it might be okay, but it just happens to be Lu Jing... Lu family’s messy entanglements, plus Lu Xiao’s history of cheating and driving his wife mad — if Leng Jian finds out, he’s bound to explode!"

Ji Weitian felt like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth.

"Knock knock—" The office door sounded.

The assistant came in with a tube of ointment, set it down, and exited.

Qin Nanyu lifted Ji Weitian’s skirt, applying the ointment to her knee as he spoke jealously, "I originally thought, with Zhang Lingying living with Lu Jing, you’d first worry whether Zhang Lingying would be blinded by love and help Lu Jing against me. But it turns out, you weren’t worried about me at all, all your concerns were for Leng Jian."

Ji Weitian: "..."

Ji Weitian: "You’re being unreasonable, you know Zhang Lingying isn’t that kind of person. Even if she were with Lu Jing, she’d keep public and private matters separate, safeguarding the Qin Technology Group’s research results."

"I trust Zhang Lingying, but that doesn’t conflict with you worrying about me." Qin Nanyu finished applying the ointment, tossed it aside, and pulled Ji Weitian into his arms.

He pinched her waist.

A jealous man is not to be messed with, logic doesn’t work, only coaxing does.

Ji Weitian turned her head and pecked him on the cheek, "What are you planning to do now?"

"..."

"This matter, if you’re able to find it, others surely can too. No matter what, Zhang Lingying is now a member of our lab. If someone catches her living with Lu Jing on camera, it might not affect Lu Jing much, but it could be disastrous for her."

Outsiders won’t trust Zhang Lingying as they do.

Even within the Qin Technology Group, apart from Qin Nanyu, other shareholders are unlikely to unconditionally trust Zhang Lingying.

Cohabiting while unmarried isn’t illegal, but if it’s tied to leaking trade secrets, not only would Zhang Lingying’s reputation be ruined, she might even face legal charges!

The more Ji Weitian thought, the more worried she became. She took out her phone to call Leng Jian, but before she could dial, she saw a news alert from the media—
