Night Fire Lingering

Lou Qi couldn't understand: "What could possibly make Wen Yan turn against you? Did you cheat on me?"

"Get lost!" Gu Yanci said irritably.

Lou Qi shrugged, indicating that he was too lazy to say anything more.

He's just here to have fun, not to host a party for his buddies to be his life coach!

"Young Master Lou, why are you unhappy today?" The beautiful woman pouring wine next to him finally found an opportunity to interject.

As she spoke, her soft hand reached towards Lou Qi's chest. She pressed her body against the man, her high-heeled feet flexing, lingering suggestively against his trousers. However, even with such bold movements, she dared not overstep the mark towards Gu Yanci, only managing to steal a few more glances.

She thought she had disguised herself well, but Lou Qi, a man of keen insight, had accurately captured her gaze and thoughts.

"Don't even think about it, Mrs. Gu. You can't even touch the hem of her skirt." Lou Qi said, half sarcastic and half warning.

The beauty quickly concealed the embarrassment in her eyes and asked with a charming smile, "Oh? Is Mrs. Gu some kind of outstanding person? Young Master Lou, I'm not bad either. I graduated from the law department of G University, which is a key university in China."

Students who graduate from top universities are considered outstanding in this field.

"A prospective doctoral student at the Imperial University," Lou Qi replied casually.

A moment of embarrassment crossed the beautiful woman's face: "Imperial University... Mrs. Gu is a top student."

She's completely humiliated, like someone trying to show off their skills in front of an expert!

Gu Yanci didn't glance at the beauty once throughout the entire process, only looking at Lou Qi when Lou Qi mentioned Wen Yan's academic background, his eyes filled with a hint of pride in his woman.

"You studied law?" Lou Qi suddenly asked.

The beauty nodded eagerly.

Lou Qi then asked, "If a foreigner kills someone in our country, what legal procedures should follow? Who should have the right to decide on the sovereign rights?"

"Huh?" The beauty was stunned, completely unexpected that she had suddenly gone from selling her body to selling her art!

She looked flustered and stammered, unable to answer at all.

Before she could come up with an answer, she was pushed away by Lou Qi in the next second.

"Get out," Lou Qi said listlessly.

"Young Master Lou, what...what did I do to upset you?" the beauty asked, bewildered.

"I've recently developed a phobia of stupidity—should I leave?"

How dare you call yourself a law student?

The surrounding lights were dim and the scene was bizarre, making it impossible to see anyone's expression or their true emotions.

"Changed your taste?" Gu Yanci keenly noticed Lou Qi's unusual behavior.

In the past, Lou Qi didn't care whether a woman's brain was filled with tofu or mush; he mainly cared whether she was pleasing to the eye and to his heart.

Lou Qi took a swig of whiskey, looking annoyed and reluctant to speak.

What to say?

He said he'd fallen for a woman, a woman with a boyfriend, a stupid woman who wouldn't break up with him even after he cheated on her? A woman who avoids him like the plague?

Lou Qi felt like he was possessed. He patted Gu Yanci on the shoulder and turned to go to the bathroom.

No sooner had Lou Qi left than the beauty who had just been driven away returned and walked towards Gu Yanci.

Gu Yanci's gaze turned cold.

“Young Master Gu, I... I don’t have any feelings for you! It’s just that a woman is looking for you—” The beauty pointed outside the private room, “She said her name is Jiang Xing and she wants to see you.”

It took Gu Yanci a long time to remember where he had heard the name before—it was the part-time cook he had found for Wen Yan in England, and now Wen Yan's senior in her class.
