Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 997: Don’t Leave Me Alone

The assistant was determined to come up and stop Lu Jing from committing a crime, but didn’t expect that Zhang Lingying had really returned.

"Has Lu Jing... been waiting downstairs at my place these past few days?" Zhang Lingying pursed her lips, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The assistant thought she was unhappy and hurriedly explained on behalf of Lu Jing.

"Miss Zhang, please don’t be mad at President Lu. He didn’t mean to disturb you; he just... couldn’t stop worrying about your cat, so he kept coming to check on it every day."

Zhang Lingying lowered her head to look at the cat ’son’ in Lu Jing’s mouth: "..."

Others raise cats as pets, while Lu Jing raises his cat as a son.

The perspective is indeed quite peculiar.

The assistant could tell from Zhang Lingying’s expression that she had misunderstood, but didn’t dare to explain further, fearing that she might wake President Lu up in a fit of anger and throw him out.

"Miss Zhang, President Lu isn’t in good health, and now he’s drunk. Could you please let him stay at your place for one night?"

After speaking, afraid that Zhang Lingying would refuse, the assistant quickly added.

"He won’t disturb you for long. As soon as he wakes up, I’ll make sure to come and take him away immediately."

"..."

Zhang Lingying didn’t say anything, just turned her head to glance in the direction of the bedroom.

The assistant realized she had agreed and quickly stood up, took a step, and left.

Once the assistant left, only Zhang Lingying and a little kitten remained in the living room.

She wasn’t sure what she was thinking, but suddenly picked up Little Mirror, who was sitting in her lap licking its fur, pouted her cheeks, "Did you hear that? Your father really cares about you, he has to see you every day, a day without seeing you feels like three years."

"Meow—"

Little Mirror didn’t understand what she was saying, but upon hearing its name, it happily let out a sound.

Little Mirror was happy, but Zhang Lingying felt inexplicably sour inside.

She was not even as important as a cat.

On impulse, Zhang Lingying hugged the cat in her arms and walked toward the bedroom.

Lu Jing was asleep, the room quiet save for the sound of gentle breathing.

The drunken man wasn’t causing a fuss. After taking a bath, he seemed like he hadn’t had a good sleep in a long time, hugging her pillow and sleeping soundly.

The frustration Zhang Lingying originally felt inexplicably dissipated upon seeing the fatigue on his face.

Holding the cat, she sat at the bedside, watching Lu Jing for a while, recalling the conversation with the assistant earlier.

Lu Jing had been angry and drinking because she moved to Leng Jian’s home.

Although she couldn’t understand why her temporary stay at Leng Jian’s home had provoked such a strong reaction from him.

However, hearing the assistant say that Lu Jing waited for her under her building every day... for some reason, she could imagine this man pitifully, with a hint of grievance, stubbornly waiting downstairs at her place.

"How could there be a man as good at pretending to be pitiable as you?" Zhang Lingying muttered softly.

The little kitten in her arms seemed to sense her heartache, pacing over to Lu Jing’s side, it lay down against his neck.

With its fluffy head, it nuzzled Lu Jing’s face.

Lu Jing seemed to be tickled, reached out to hug Little Mirror, and mumbled: "Don’t leave..."

Zhang Lingying didn’t hear what he said, curiously leaning in to hear clearly.

"Zhang Lingying, don’t leave... don’t leave me alone..."

Zhang Lingying’s pupils slightly trembled: "..."

In the bedroom, the two of them and one cat, yet the atmosphere was extremely quiet.

In the end, Zhang Lingying didn’t even know how she left her own room.
