Night Fire Lingering

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Xing felt embarrassed and inexplicably flustered.

It's like being caught doing something wrong.

Lou Qi remained silent, still staring at the man opposite him. His expression was indifferent, yet he inexplicably exuded a sense of oppression.

Jiang Xing didn't want to involve Lou Qi, so he stood up and said, "I'm sorry, senior, I have some personal matters to attend to. I'll treat you to a meal next time as a thank you and apology!"

It's obvious they don't intend to introduce Lou Qi.

Lou Qi finally understood why Gu Yanci had been so jealous of Wen Yan's inexplicable senior!

Senior and junior students are the least innocent!

"It's not a private matter that can be hidden from public view, why are you leaving?" Lou Qi blocked Jiang Xing's path without making a sound, preventing her from passing.

Jiang Xing laughed in exasperation: "Is our relationship something we can be seen as respectable?"

Her attitude was somewhat sharp, and seeing this, Cousin Zhang quickly interrupted their argument: "Hello, my surname is Zhang, and my name is—"

"Hello, my name is Lou Qi, I'm Jiang Xing's boyfriend, nice to meet you." Lou Qi interrupted the other party's introduction first, showing no interest in the name of this overseas-educated PhD.

If it weren't for his 'I'm here to catch you cheating' expression, his 'I'm very happy' would have been even more convincing.

After introducing himself, Lou Qi looked at Jiang Xing and said, "What do I have that I can't show to people? If this is something to be ashamed of, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau at dawn."

"..." Jiang Xing was slightly stunned—in Lou Qi's definition, she and he were normal, proper, boyfriend and girlfriend.

It has never been about forceful acquisition or mutual benefit.

Cousin Zhang caught the key information Lou Qi revealed: boyfriend.

To Lou Qi's surprise, Cousin Zhang was not angry, nor did he question Jiang Xing. Instead, he smiled and nodded calmly, saying, "Hello."

"Thank you so much for today, senior! I'll be going now!"

Having achieved his goal for the day, Jiang Xing grabbed his bag in one hand and Lou Qi's hand with the other, and started walking out.

Caught off guard, Lou Qi unconsciously followed her the moment she touched him.

Once they reached the restaurant, just as he was about to question Jiang Xing about whether he had a guilty conscience and why he was running so fast, his hand was ruthlessly shoved away by the woman.

Lou Qi thought Jiang Xing would get angry with him, but she left without saying a word!

Lou Qi was furious but couldn't vent his anger, so he grabbed Jiang Xing's hand and shoved her into his car.

Jiang Xing tried to open the car door and get out, but Lou Qi had already locked the door first.

"I drove myself!"

"I'll have someone drive it back for you."

Jiang Xing took a deep breath and tried to reason with him calmly: "Lou Qi, what do you want to do?"

Lou Qi looked at the woman with a cold face in the passenger seat and thought, "This woman is really something else!"

Even in this state, I could still speak to him calmly without raising my voice.

Look, how can any other woman compare to Jiang Xing?

"I didn't mean anything by it." Lou Qi was no longer angry. "I just wanted to prevent you from cheating on me."

"?"

Jiang Xing gave him a look that said, "Are you crazy?" "My interactions with that person were normal! Don't you even know what normal social interaction is?"

She had already told Senior Zhang that she was not single when she asked Cheng Jiang, which is why she thanked him.

“You’re just engaging in normal social interaction, but others might not,” Lou Qi snorted.

Men always understand men better. The way that overseas returnee looked at Jiang Xing was clearly full of admiration, and this kind of admiration is often the beginning of liking someone.

Jiang Xing held a grudge against Ying Kaian, that scumbag, for abandoning Lou Qi. If it weren't for dealing with him, she wouldn't have done this today!

Cullinan sped along.

Jiang Xing remained silent throughout, sulking while pondering the new information she had received that day: Cheng Jiang was abroad and was a man who was indiscriminate in his sexuality, regardless of gender or whether he was interested in meat or vegetables!

Jiang Xing didn't notice when the Cullinan stopped until the seatbelt was suddenly unbuckled, the seat was adjusted back, and the man in the driver's seat suddenly flipped over the central console.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Xing was startled.

Lou Qi loosened his tie as he said, "My secretary said that if a woman wants to cheat, it means her boyfriend is no good. Let me give you a try."
