Ji Weitian paused her actions and unexpectedly looked up at him, thinking that there was a bottle of mineral water in front of him, wasn't there?
Seeing his serious expression, could it be that he wanted to drink hot water?
Ji Weitian saw the electric kettle in the corner of the lounge and walked over to pick it up and give it a shake, it was empty.
Probably because mineral water was prepared in the lounge, no one had specifically gone to get hot water.
Ji Weitian didn't make a fuss, after all, it was just about getting some water. She picked up the kettle, turned around, went to the hot water room, filled a kettle with hot water, and returned, pouring a full cup for Qin Nanyu and pushing it in front of him.
"President Qin, here you go."
Qin Nanyu glanced at the hot water in front of him, then looked up at the docile and obedient Ji Weitian. If he hadn't personally witnessed her acting in the restaurant, he might have almost believed she sincerely wanted him to drink water.
Qin Nanyu didn't take the cup she offered, his dark eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at the basket of fruit beside him again.
"The water is a bit hot, let it sit for now. Peel an orange for me."
Ji Weitian, "???"
Indeed, she was on reception duty, but treating her as a nanny was too much!
He had the use of both his hands and feet, why did he need her to serve just to eat an orange?
Qin Nanyu didn't miss any slightest change in her expression, capturing the stubborn determination igniting in her eyes. His gaze swept across the watch on his wrist as he casually parted his lips, "I suddenly remembered I have some matters at the company, maybe I won't have much time later…"
Ji Weitian's nerves tightened!
Not caring about being petulant, she grabbed an orange from the fruit basket and sat in front of Qin Nanyu without hesitation, "Since President Qin has come to our Jiangcheng University, you are our most important guest. Don't just say an orange, even if you want to eat a durian, I'll peel it for you!"
She peeled an orange in no time, even thoughtfully separating it into segments, handing them to Qin Nanyu.
Qin Nanyu's lips curved slightly, but he didn't eat. His gaze returned to the fruit basket… In the basket, there was indeed a durian.
Ji Weitian, "…!!!"
Could she still pretend to have amnesia now?
If nothing worked, she was quite skilled at pretending to faint.
If she really had to peel a durian barehanded, she could only hug the durian and kneel, saying "My lady cannot do it"!
At this crucial moment, her phone rang.
A phone call that felt like a lifeline!
Ji Weitian clutched her phone, almost moved to tears, silently telling herself in her heart that no matter who this call was from, from today onwards, the caller was her savior!
Lowering her head to glance at the screen, it was the academic affairs director calling.
Ji Weitian hurriedly answered, just about to ask if the event was about to start and if she could immediately escort Qin Nanyu to the auditorium next door, when the director spoke first with an apology, "The auditorium's equipment has had a temporary issue, the technician is repairing it, and at the current pace, the conference probably won't start on time. Over on President Qin's side… Weitian, I can only leave it to you now, make sure to keep him there…"
What had she just said?
A lifesaver? That was nonexistent, the academic affairs director seemed bent on helping Qin Nanyu to claim her life.
Good equipment didn't crack up sooner or later, but at this specific time, it broke.
Ji Weitian hung up the call, turned around in despair to relay the news to Qin Nanyu. In the next second, however, she saw the man sitting on the sofa, of all things he could play with, he had actually taken the durian out of the fruit basket…
Eyes meeting, he drew a sinister curve on his lips, "Miss Ji, now I want to eat durian."
