Night Fire Lingering

"Huh?" Jiang Xing didn't quite understand.

"Assistant Gao did a quick check and found that among your competitors, some had invited school leaders to dinner in advance, some had written recommendation letters to influential professors at your school, and some even had family members who wanted to donate money."

However, others are not willing to donate tens of millions; it's simply not enough to cover Lou Qi's expenses.

Jiang Xing's eyes widened in surprise. So many people were going astray?

Then I felt relieved. Universities are not purely ivory towers. Interpersonal interactions and social niceties are the norm in society.

Lou Qi found Jiang Xing exceptionally adorable and couldn't help but kiss him: "So, baby, everyone is just using their own unique abilities—for your school, you have academic ability, you have your own resources, and you're even a well-behaved student that they've nurtured since childhood. You're the best choice."

"Are you still unhappy?" Lou Qi asked.

Jiang Xing felt a little awkward: "I'm not unhappy—hey!"

Lou Qi picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.

……

From the bathroom to the bed, it was more than two hours later when it was over.

Jiang Xing glanced at the time; it was almost 3 a.m. Luckily, she had already submitted her resignation and only needed to wait until her last day. She didn't have any work to do, otherwise she really would have kept Lou Qi out of bed for a week!

She wanted to punch the man, but her body was still numb and she had no strength. All she could do was glare at him.

Lou Qi said, "Baby, if you keep looking at me like that, I'm going to get up again."

Jiang Xing: "?"

She was clearly glaring at him! And he's blaming her?!

Jiang Xing closed her eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

"Are we going back to the old house for dinner tomorrow night?" Just as Jiang Xing was about to fall asleep, he heard Lou Qi suddenly ask.

Jiang Xing was already very sleepy, but she tried to clear her mind a little: "Hmm? Why?"

Why did we suddenly go back to the old house for dinner?

Lou Qi hugged Jiang Xing from behind and kissed her shoulder: "It's just a routine family gathering, it's not important. If you don't want to go back, then don't."

"it is good."

"what?"

After several seconds, Jiang Xing mumbled a single word in a daze: "Reply".

Lou Qi had no hope for this, but upon hearing this, his heart skipped a beat.

The fact that she was willing to go back to the Lou family's old house with him shows that she was serious about dating him, trying to accept his family, and... was not opposed to becoming Mrs. Lou.

-

It is Friday.

On the way to the company, Lou Qi, posing as a family member, helped Jiang Xing request leave from the Gu Group.

Jiang Xing woke up at noon, washed up, put on light makeup, and went out to the Lou family's old house at five o'clock in the afternoon. She agreed to meet Lou Qi at the gate of the old house, but Lou Qi was unexpectedly held up by work.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you." Jiang Xing didn't care about these trivial matters. He adjusted the driver's seat and planned to lie down and close his eyes to rest.

There was a knock on the car window.

The visitor was the Lou family's butler, who politely invited Jiang Xing to come inside and rest: "Miss Jiang, you are the young master's girlfriend, how can we let you wait in the car?"

Jiang Xing then realized that if she drove her car into the Lou family's territory, someone from the Lou family would definitely notice, and many eyes would be watching. She didn't dare to enter the house just because Lou Qi wasn't there, and she would definitely be laughed at.

"Did Lou Qi send you?" Jiang Xing asked.

The butler smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, now the eldest young master is in charge of the Lou family. You are the one who has to give them attitude, no one dares to give you attitude."
