Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 1009: She Doesn’t Want to Get Married at All!
Ji Weitian nodded, indicating she had thought it through.
Seeing Leng Jian’s expression was still not very good, Ji Weitian tried to change the topic.
"I worked overtime all weekend and finally finished. Want to grab a meal together?"
"Not afraid that Qin Nanyu will get jealous?"
Leng Jian’s face softened slightly; he knew she was deliberately changing the subject, but didn’t expose her.
"It’s just a meal; he’s not that petty."
Ji Weitian smiled as she saved the document on her computer and shut it down, standing up.
"Are you coming? I’m hungry anyway."
"..."
Leng Jian glanced at the time and realized it was indeed mealtime. After a moment of consideration, he spoke.
"I’ll call Lingying, and you should call Qin Nanyu."
Ji Weitian was taken aback. "We’ve been dating for so long; he’s really not that petty. You don’t have to be so cautious to avoid misunderstandings."
Leng Jian’s mouth curled slightly, seemingly amused, "Yeah, you’ve been dating so long, already have two kids together, and he still hasn’t proposed to you. Yet, you think it’s fine."
Ji Weitian: "..."
Why did a normal conversation turn into sarcasm?
Besides, is marriage something she can rush into?
If she brought it up first, it would seem like she’s desperate to get married.
Leng Jian: "Just call Qin Nanyu. Consider it as me wanting to have a meal with Lingying and inviting him along too."
"Okay."
Seeing his insistence, Ji Weitian called Qin Nanyu and briefly explained the situation.
Qin Nanyu agreed to the dinner.
When she hung up, Leng Jian had just finished talking with Zhang Lingying too.
Ji Weitian remembered how Leng Jian has been overtly and covertly caring for Zhang Lingying lately and couldn’t help but ask.
"When do you plan to tell Zhang Lingying that you’re her biological brother?"
"..."
"You’re constantly worrying to death about her, wishing you could be by her side, taking care of her every need, preventing her from being deceived. Yet, you act like you’re just casually concerned... Aren’t you afraid it’ll backfire, and she’ll fall for you?"
"..."
Leng Jian’s brow twitched, puzzled as he looked at her, "I treat you the same way, how come you never fell for me?"
Ji Weitian: "..."
Forget it, there’s no getting through to him.
Knowing Zhang Lingying is Leng Jian’s Achilles’ heel, Ji Weitian decided to give up on persuading him.
On the way to the restaurant, Leng Jian still couldn’t let go of the experiment report and tried to talk to Ji Weitian about it again.
Several times, Ji Weitian deliberately changed the subject.
When they arrived at the restaurant and parked, Leng Jian still wanted to say something, but Ji Weitian suddenly reached out and hugged him.
A gentle embrace, then she let go.
"Thank you for caring so much about me, but you’ve already helped me enough. I can’t always hide behind you while you shield me from the world. You should live your own life."
Ji Weitian pressed her lips together and continued.
"Not only me, but Zhang Lingying as well. I’m sure she’s never blamed you, and in her heart, you’re definitely a good brother, always! We’re all adults now, we can’t always rely on your protection, and you aren’t obligated to do so."
"..."
"Leng Jian..."
Ji Weitian gently called out, looking out the car window.
Qin Nanyu and Zhang Lingying had also arrived and were walking over after recognizing the car.
Ji Weitian met Qin Nanyu’s gaze, her eyes flickering with light, her lips moving.
She said something, but Qin Nanyu couldn’t hear it.
He could only vaguely read from her lips that those words weren’t meant for him.
