Chapter 167: Chapter 167: You Must Pay the Price for What You Do

"You can just talk normally, why are you so close to me?" Ji Weitian murmured softly.

She placed her hands on the edge of the table and stepped back a bit.

Lifting her head to meet his inquiring gaze, "I refuse, I’m not capable enough, I’m a disaster, I have no right to enter the lab, and I’m quite satisfied with my job, I don’t wish to make any changes."

Her voice was crisp and decisive, without a hint of hesitation.

She didn’t even blink, earnestly rejecting Qin Nanyu.

But if one listened carefully, what she said was exactly what Qin Nanyu had once said to her.

What goes around comes around...

The assistant glanced at his own boss, whose expression could no longer be discerned, and didn’t dare to linger in the archive room.

Quietly holding the contract, he turned and moved towards the door, yet couldn’t stray too far.

Worried that Ji Weitian might say something scary again, he’d be strangled by their furious boss. Homicide is a crime; he had to intervene.

The assistant didn’t get the chance to intervene.

Because as Qin Nanyu realized he was being mercilessly rejected, and even mocked, his phone rang.

Qin Nanyu withdrew his gaze from Ji Weitian’s defiant face, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and answered the call.

They were very close, Ji Weitian wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but she heard clearly the butler’s exclamation through the phone.

"Young Master Yu, it’s bad, Xiao Ruirui fainted from hunger after throwing a tantrum; we are now taking him to the hospital..."

Qin Nanyu’s face changed, and without waiting for the butler to finish, he was already heading out the door.

Ji Weitian sat frozen in her chair, blankly watching his retreating figure, stupefied for several seconds before she realized what she had just heard.

In her mind, she pictured the angelic-looking little guy at the airport.

Who could become so happy eating fried chicken, he’d lick his fingers clean.

So well-behaved and understanding.

By the time Ji Weitian snapped back to reality, she had unconsciously risen from her chair and followed Qin Nanyu out of the archive room.

And just before he got into the car, she reached out to stop the door he was about to close.

Meeting Qin Nanyu’s gaze, she licked her lips, unable to explain the sudden panic in her heart, and asked directly, "Can I come with you to check on him? My daughter is also four years old; perhaps I can be of some help."

"..." Qin Nanyu looked at her deeply, seemingly puzzled by how she could be so impatient with him one second, and then suddenly concerned about his son the next.

Eventually, he agreed to let Ji Weitian get into the car.

On the way to the hospital, Qin Nanyu was constantly on the phone.

The butler had already taken the little guy to the hospital, and he was being examined.

It was clear there was no threat to his life, but the specific results of the examination would have to wait until all tests were finished.

Upon hearing that Xiao Ruirui had gotten sick from fasting, Ji Weitian’s brow furrowed tightly.

As soon as Qin Nanyu hung up the phone, he found the person sitting next to him glaring at him with deep resentment. Had she the upper hand, she might have physically attacked him.

Qin Nanyu put down his phone, trying to explain.

"I haven’t mistreated my son."

"A four-year-old child protesting by fasting, you say I should believe you, do you believe yourself?" Ji Weitian grunted cautiously, considering they were still on the road, and Qin Nanyu might become so embarrassed that he’d kick her out of the car.

And she strived to suppress the inexplicable anger within her.

Even though she reminded herself over and over again, that this was not her son, and that she and Qin Nanyu were barely acquainted, having no right to blame anyone.
