Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 949: Putting On Airs
Leng Jian was taken aback but quickly came to his senses, "You rushed over to find me because of the news?"
"Yes." Zhang Lingying didn’t deny it. In fact, she was very worried that the media exposure about their lab going on an indefinite break could bring negative impacts to Qin Technology Group.
After listening to her, Leng Jian calmly opened the lunch box and slowly ate his breakfast.
"This situation was anticipated long ago."
"Since you already predicted it, why didn’t you take precautions?" Zhang Lingying pulled a chair next to him and asked anxiously.
Leng Jian smiled and asked her, "How could we prevent it?"
Zhang Lingying: "..."
"It’s a fact that our lab is on break, and it’s a fact that the project has been suspended. Even if we go out to clarify now, no one will believe us. Most likely, we’ll be seen as trying to whitewash things." Leng Jian finished his sandwich and, with a good appetite, opened the bowl of porridge.
Smelling the aroma of the porridge, he couldn’t help but praise Zhang Lingying.
"Your cooking skills are really good."
"It’s rare to see you eating so well. People who don’t know might think we’ve already completed our experiment." Zhang Lingying muttered under her breath.
She didn’t mind Leng Jian being happy, she just felt that his attitude was too abnormal.
Even if he’s not worried about Qin Nanyu, at least he should be a little concerned about Ji Weitian.
How could anyone be like him, eating and drinking well, and still in the mood to joke around?
Could it be that...
"You’re not thinking of waiting for Young Master Yu to go bankrupt and then taking the opportunity to win back Weitian, are you? Brother Leng Jian, that would be too sneaky!"
Leng Jian: "..."
A girl’s imagination is indeed different from ordinary people.
After finishing breakfast, Zhang Lingying was still earnestly advising him, afraid that he’d become a sinister and selfish person.
Leng Jian couldn’t stand it anymore and dragged her into the study, telling her to open up the computer.
Zhang Lingying sat in his office chair, seeing his serious expression, obediently turned on the computer.
"You read all the files and mini-programs on the desktop before you talk to me."
Leng Jian gave the order, picked up a book, and sat in the seat next to hers to read.
"I don’t know why, sometimes I feel like you’re just like my real brother..." Zhang Lingying followed Leng Jian’s instructions, started reading the files, and couldn’t help but mutter when she saw Leng Jian taking care of her like a child.
Leng Jian paused his page-turning, looked up at her with some surprise, "What did you say?"
"Though it might sound like I’m flattering myself, I always feel that if I really had an older brother, he’d definitely be like you—cultured, knowledgeable, and especially patient..."
As Zhang Lingying scrolled down with the mouse, she continued to rack her brain for words to praise Leng Jian.
She completely missed the slight redness in Leng Jian’s eyes and his gradually trembling fingers.
Seeing he didn’t respond, she turned her head and asked, "Brother Leng Jian, do you have a younger sister?"
"Pap—"
The book in Leng Jian’s hand dropped to the ground.
His expression turned stiff.
They had discussed many times about the topic of siblings, but Zhang Lingying had never seriously asked him about his sister.
He wanted to say he did, but he dared not say it.
He was afraid that Zhang Lingying’s next question would be: What about your sister?
He couldn’t answer that question, and he didn’t want to lie to her.
"Why did the book fall?" Zhang Lingying, not realizing she had asked such a frightening question, bent down to pick up the book for Leng Jian and handed it to him.
