Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie
Chapter 298: Sell it to me if you’re selling!

Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Sell it to me if you’re selling!

Qin Nanyu raised an eyebrow, signaling with his eyes that he agreed.

Ji Weitian then lowered her head to fish out a check from her bag and handed it over to him.

Seeing the amount on the check, Qin Nanyu’s dark eyes flickered as he fixed his gaze on Ji Weitian.

With a crow’s-feet shaped smile, Ji Weitian teased, "Is it a lot of money? Do you know where this came from? The project manager from Re Group gave it to me... Ah!"

Before Ji Weitian could finish her sentence, Qin Nanyu had snatched the check from her hand. She cried out in panic, trying to take it back, but Qin Nanyu restrained her wrist with one hand, his face darkened with a shadow.

His voice was sullen.

"Did you really sell me for a high price?"

"Be careful not to tear the check," Ji Weitian urged anxiously.

Qin Nanyu didn’t care about the check, instead, he gripped her hand a bit tighter.

Ji Weitian winced in pain and rushed to explain, "I didn’t sell you, you’re not worth that much money. That was the money Manager Zhao paid for me!"

"You sold yourself?!" Qin Nanyu stared at her in disbelief, with an even darker expression.

Ever since meeting Ji Weitian, Qin Nanyu felt his tolerance for stress had diminished.

Specifically manifested in the way she could easily anger him, making him want to strangle her every minute!

"Stop blathering about selling or not selling, just quiet down for two minutes and let me finish," Ji Weitian finally saw her chance, snatching the check back from his grasp.

She carefully put it away, tucking it into her bag.

Catching a glimpse of her money-grubbing demeanor, Qin Nanyu’s brows furrowed with worry, fearing she had really sold herself and no longer maintained her composure.

"Ji Weitian, I’ll give you ten times the money, if you’re selling yourself, sell to me," Qin Nanyu spoke, his voice hoarse as his lips moved.

His ambiguous tone seemed half serious, half joking.

Ji Weitian shot him a glance as if he were insane.

"People from Re Group wanted to use this money to bribe me into stealing experimental data for them, why would you buy me? To argue with you and drive you to your death?"

Qin Nanyu: "..."

Her logic was sound; he couldn’t refute it.

"Besides, this little money is not enough to buy me; at the very least it would have to... bankrupt you and come with a dowry!" After Ji Weitian finished, she turned her head, seeking her daughter’s agreement, but found that Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling had somehow crawled to the edge of the couch.

Reaching out her little paws, she sneakily unzipped the bag, took out the check, and laid it neatly inside her own little backpack.

Her eyes shone with excitement, turning into starry eyes.

"Small money!"

Ji Weitian: "..."

The money was safer in Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling’s hands than anywhere else.

Ji Weitian wasn’t in a hurry to get it back, opting to first relay today’s events to Qin Nanyu.

"People from Re Group are moving faster than I imagined. It seems they’re trying to quickly get our experimental data and complete the experiment before us, launching a new product ahead of time. There’s just one thing I can’t figure out."

Ji Weitian sat cross-legged on the couch, propping her head with one hand, and posed the question to the person beside her.

"Why would they try to bribe me? I’m just a contact person. Manager Zhao could have easily found out that I don’t have the clearance to enter the lab. There are better people for Re Group to bribe, so why come after me?"

Qin Nanyu quickly caught the key point in her words, his eyes suddenly turning icy.

"Unless they are targeting you specifically!"

The unspoken understanding also made him guess that Ji Weitian accepted the money to lure the snake out of its hole!
