Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 1014: In the Same Boat

Sure, here is the translated text:

Ji Weitian paused, "What are you talking about...?"

She seriously doubted if she and Qin Nanyu were discussing the same thing.

"Why, aren’t you happy if I don’t bicker with Leng Jian?"

Qin Nanyu placed the phone back in her hand, bent down to lift her from the windowsill, and turned to head towards the bedroom.

Ji Weitian was dumbstruck, looking at Qin Nanyu all the way with an expression reserved for idiots.

She had already mentally prepared herself for exposing her identity, but why could Qin Nanyu perfectly avoid the correct answer and forcibly come up with an absurd explanation for himself.

If she were to suddenly confess to him at this moment, would he still advise her to get some sleep and stop daydreaming?

Ji Weitian swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Night had fallen, the dark night brought with it a breeze carrying traces of the day’s heat outside the window.

In the Re Group, the lights in the laboratory were constantly on.

Not long after, Qiu Sen came out of his office with a freshly made report in hand, and boldly walked into the laboratory, solemnly asking the people inside.

"Where is he?"

Though Qiu Sen didn’t mention the person’s name, everyone in the laboratory exchanged glances, seemingly all knowing whom he was looking for.

The colleague standing in front snapped back to reality, pointing towards the lounge at the innermost part of the lab.

"He’s inside alone, instructing not to be disturbed." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After hearing this, Qiu Sen acted as if he hadn’t heard the colleague’s reminder, directly turning and heading towards the lounge.

Ignoring the stop sign hanging on the door, and without knocking, he twisted the doorknob and walked inside, then firmly shut the door.

With a "bang", he blocked out all the curious and fearful gazes from behind.

Inside the lounge.

The room’s lights were off, only a laptop sitting on the coffee table illuminated its screen.

The faint glow revealed just enough to see the simple situation inside.

A young man in black clothes was lazily reclining on the long sofa.

With one arm as a pillow, he was staring intently at a photo on his phone screen.

His eyes were gentle and loving, yet they were interrupted by the sudden noise, furrowing in annoyance.

Cold eyes glanced towards Qiu Sen.

Qiu Sen seemed accustomed to it, not caring about his gaze, instead throwing the newspaper in his hand onto the young man’s lap.

"Didn’t you say that Qin Nanyu had been painstakingly searching for Dr. CC for years and found nothing? Why does Qin Technology Group’s new development contain so many of Dr. CC’s patents?"

"..."

The young man was slightly stunned, then closed his phone and sat up from the sofa.

He picked up the newspaper Qiu Sen brought, quickly browsing through the content.

Qiu Sen continued venting his anger at the young man.

"Don’t forget, we’re in the same boat now. If Qin Technology Group completes the experiment ahead of us, you’ll be under someone’s thumb for a lifetime, and there’s no hope to win back the woman you love!"

Watching a fleeting flash of hostility on the young man’s face, Qiu Sen revealed a mocking smile.

Originally thinking the other party would be irritated by his provocation, unexpectedly, the young man simply threw the newspaper back onto the coffee table, grabbed his laptop, and handed it to him.

Qiu Sen was puzzled, hearing the young man say.

"I indeed haven’t heard Qin Nanyu mention the patents of Dr. CC, but I’ve already run the data for the next phase of the experiment. You can contact the press now and publish ahead of Qin Technology Group."
