Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 1021: Real and Fake News

"I’m just curious, Lu Jing doesn’t have any concrete evidence proving I am Dr. CC, does he really dare to do this?"

"It’s still uncertain whether Lu Jing or Qiu Sen is behind this; judging by the circumstances, Re Group still values Dr. CC’s reputation and is deliberately blurring the focus of the topic."

Leng Jian’s cool voice carried his usual precision.

After pondering briefly, he spoke.

"If Lu Jing truly intends to use your identity..."

"Leng Jian."

Ji Weitian interrupted him, glancing at the water cup left on the bedside cabinet by Qin Nanyu, her eyes softening.

"My identity should be my pride, not a handle in someone else’s hand."

She never feared facing others’ scrutinizing gazes, she was just worried she might not have the ability to protect the ones she cared about.

It was Qin Nanyu who taught her to learn to trust.

He was willing to trust her, handing over the leadership of the laboratory to her, and she should also learn to believe that as long as she does the right thing, there should be no worries.

"I got it, I’ll keep an eye on the online situation. You should also be careful during this period, don’t let yourself be alone."

After sharing the latest situation, Leng Jian, still worried, reminded her again. Seeing Ji Weitian obediently agree, he hung up the phone.

"Do people become this nagging when they have younger sisters?" Ji Weitian muttered to her phone’s dark screen, yet her eyes carried a gentle smile.

Leng Jian had changed a lot compared to before.

He was more humane and willing to interact with others.

This is a good thing.

She had changed too; they were all becoming better...

Thinking of this, Ji Weitian suddenly thought of Qin Nanyu.

She bounced to the bedside, finished the hot water Qin Nanyu left for her, then quietly turned and walked out of the lounge, preparing to give him a surprise.

It was Ji Weitian’s first time doing something like this, and her mood was a bit anxious.

As she was leaving the lounge, she almost got caught by the door.

When she quietly moved to Qin Nanyu’s office desk, she found he wasn’t there at all.

On the expensive desk were stacks of documents.

And a computer with the screen on but unattended.

On the left side of the desk, there was a full cup of coffee, steaming, seemingly freshly brewed and brought over, yet untouched.

Qin Nanyu should be in the company; otherwise, the secretary wouldn’t have brought over coffee.

But why is he missing?

Was there an unexpected matter, and he went out?

Ji Weitian was puzzled, when suddenly she heard a familiar voice coming from the reception area.

She was startled and looked over.

Qin Nanyu was still in his tailored black suit, his face naturally exuded sophistication, and even without much expression, it compelled attention. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

He was sitting in front of the sofa, his long legs lazily crossed, holding a phone, talking to someone.

Apparently a bit impatient with the person on the other end, he reached out to pull at the collar of his tie.

"If I found the person, would I hide it from you? Online rumors are always baseless, is this why you came to me?"

"..."

"What do you mean by everyone saying so? If outsiders think I’ve found Dr. CC, would that mean I actually did? I should thank them for that!"

"..."

Ji Weitian suddenly paused her steps, vaguely able to make out that the person on the other end was likely He Feichen.

Besides his brother He Feichen, few people could make Qin Nanyu show such an emotional side.
