Night Fire Lingering

"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just stating the facts." Jiang Xing shrugged, his mockery undisguised. "Don't you have Ms. Zhou's support? Why are you still bowing and scraping to others to solicit investment?"

Ying Kaian's face turned even uglier. Jiang Xing was deliberately using the rich woman he served to humiliate him!

But the rich women all abandoned him without hesitation at that banquet!

It's all useless stuff!

Ying Kaian took a deep breath: "Jiang Xing, what exactly do you want to do!"

Jiang Xing said slowly and deliberately, word by word: "I miss you. No, I don't have any good days."

"Are you still holding a grudge against me because of the breakup? Jiang Xing, I gave you a chance to get back together, but you didn't cherish it. You—"

"Are you sick in the head? Stop disgusting me like this." Jiang Xing calmly interrupted him. "Ying Kaian, what happened today is just to tell you that your 'good' days have only just begun!"

She will make everything he cares about vanish, leaving him living in a nightmare!

Jiang Xing didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she left after saying that.

Ying Kaian became increasingly indignant, and after a few steps, he caught up with Jiang Xing and grabbed his wrist:

"Jiang Xing, do you think you can rest easy just because you slept with Lou Qi? Look at all the women Lou Qi has been with, they're all cautionary tales. How long can you be so smug?"

Jiang Xing tugged at her wrist, but couldn't pull it away: "Let go!"

"Jiang Xing, I'm doing this for your own good. We don't need to come to this point, do we? Why not make things easier for each other? If you ever have any difficulties in the future, I will help you out of consideration for our past relationship."

"Help whom?"

Before Ying Kaian could finish speaking, a male voice suddenly rang out.

Jiang Xing turned her head to look when she heard the sound, but before she could see who it was, her wrist was forcefully freed from Ying Kaian's grasp, and the next second, the other person grabbed her wrist and pulled her in that direction!

Following that force, Jiang Xing bumped into a familiar embrace.

"You... how did you get here?" Jiang Xing looked at Lou Qi in astonishment.

Lou Qi didn't answer, but just stared at Ying Kaian with disdain: "Affection? What affection could you possibly have between you and my girlfriend?"

Lou Qi was expressionless. His face seemed nonchalant, yet it was inexplicably eerie, a stark contrast to Lou Dashao's usual carefree demeanor. He looked like... a ferocious beast defending its territory.

"Mr. Lou, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"It is an honor to have Mr. Lou grace us with his presence!"

Some people present recognized Lou Qilai and quickly came over to greet him. When they saw Jiang Xing, who was being held in his arms in a blatant manner, and Ying Kaian, who was looking bewildered and panicked, they exchanged glances without saying a word. There was nothing they didn't understand.

"Young Master Lou, I just..." Ying Kaian dared not be an enemy of Lou Qi, at least not at this stage, so he quickly explained, "I was just talking to Jiang Xing about serious matters, I, I didn't mean anything else! Really!"

Lou Qi lowered his gaze, which fell on Lou Qi's right hand, which he hadn't had time to retract, and sneered.

Ying Kaian subconsciously put his right hand behind his back, only realizing afterward that he had made a fool of himself, but it was too late to back down.

Lou Qi immediately pulled Jiang Xing outside.

He didn't need to exchange pleasantries with those people inside—they weren't qualified.

Jiang Xing, wearing high heels, couldn't keep up with Lou Qi's pace and was dragged along for several steps. She tugged at Lou Qi and whispered, "Lou Qi, you're walking too fast, I almost twisted my ankle."

Lou Qi didn't turn around to look at her, nor did he speak to her; he was clearly in a bad mood.

But the pace has slowed down.
