Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 197 Stay away from me, the smell will make you want to vomit!

Lou Qi had just heard Jiang Xing address Wen Yan as "Junior Sister Wen." He had guessed before that Jiang Xing and Wen Yan might know each other, but he didn't expect them to have such a good personal relationship.

If Wen Yan and Jiang Xing have a private relationship... Lou Qi suddenly came to his senses and frowned in self-loathing.

So what if we have a personal relationship?

He's not short of women, so why would he go out of his way to be nice to a woman who has clearly rejected him several times and even looks down on him?

He has never done anything like this in his entire life!

I just can't do this kind of thing!

"We just know each other, nothing more," Lou Qi said to Gu Yanci.

Gu Yanci neither agreed nor disagreed.

He felt that his brother wasn't without his own ideas.

"Brother Ci, another beautiful woman is looking for you outside!" someone said as they approached, a smile on their face, trying hard to suppress the gossip in their eyes. "She looks like she's mixed race!"

Mixed-race?

Gu Yanci doesn't remember knowing any mixed-race children... wait, there is one.

"I don't know her." Gu Yanci had barely finished speaking when the sound of high heels approached.

The woman, wearing a Chanel dress, stopped in front of him.

"Mr. Gu, what do you mean you don't know him?" Nan Zhiyi asked curiously and innocently.

Her tone and attitude were very practiced, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Gu Yanci and she knew each other.

The people around looked at each other in surprise. This guy really came to see Brother Ci!

Gu Yanci leaned back lazily on the sofa, his eyes indifferent under the lamplight.

“Mr. Gu, Auntie is being discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I heard you were here, so I came to let you know,” Nan Zhiyi said. “I originally planned to tell you by phone.”

Why didn't you make a phone call?

Because Gu Yanci blocked her.

Since she and Wen Yan didn't get along well, Gu Yanci felt there was no need to keep Nan Zhiyi's contact information.

Those around were greatly shocked.

How come this beautiful woman knows Gu Yanci's mother, Ji Chang? They seem to have a pretty good relationship.

Those of them, who were all from the same social circle, immediately sensed something was amiss—what kind of wife would be on good terms with a young woman she had no connection with? And to have this woman tell her son that she was being discharged from the hospital? Wasn't this blatantly creating opportunities for the woman and her son to get to know each other?

Gu Yanci asked listlessly, "Are you done?"

The subtext is: Say it and then get lost.

But Nan Zhiyi seemed not to understand his meaning and nodded seriously, "That's all for this matter, but there's one more thing."

“Mr. Gu, I’ve noticed—” Nan Zhiyi paused before speaking, walked to Gu Yanci’s side, and whispered in his ear, “Auntie has been coming upstairs frequently these past few days, I wonder who she’s visiting.”

Gu Yanci's pupils dilated slightly.

Upstairs from Ji Chang's hospital room... Jiang Huaixu lives upstairs!

Gu Yanci suddenly turned his head to look at Nan Zhiyi.

The two were too close, almost touching, a distance that was clearly ambiguous, yet the man's eyes were filled with a sinister intent.

Why did Nam Ji-yi suddenly bring this up?

What does she know?

The distance was too close, the pressure was too great, and Nan Zhiyi couldn't help but swallow, taking a step back to create some distance.

However, to others, this action appeared as Gu Yanci not resisting Nan Zhiyi's advances, while Nan Zhiyi shyly avoided him.

Tsk, see? Wen Yan won't be able to be so smug for long!

"Brother Ci, how about we keep this beautiful lady with us?" one of the young men said. "We're playing Guandan, and we happen to need someone! Beautiful lady, do you know how to play Guandan?"

“Sure, I like playing Guandan!” Nan Zhiyi nodded generously.

Gu Yanci had originally intended to tell Nan Zhiyi to get lost, but after being interrupted like this, he didn't know what to say—he hadn't organized this gathering, and these people weren't his guests.

Moreover, if he were to tell Nan Zhiyi to get lost, such special treatment would likely only generate more baseless rumors.

Wen Yan originally planned to stay with Luo Beiqing at the hospital a little longer, but she was quickly driven away by Luo Beiqing with the excuse that "pregnant women need to rest, let your man play with you."

“Gu Yanci is out having fun too,” Wen Yan said. “Besides, you are more important.”

Luo Beiqing said earnestly, "Yan Yan, we can't let our daughter be disliked by her godfather even before she's born, right? The baby will need her godfather to spend money and protect her in the future."

It took Wen Yan a second to realize that this 'godfather' was Gu Yanci.

This makes it sound like she and Luo Beiqing are a couple, and Gu Yanci is a complete sucker!

"Besides, when a man is out having fun, you should just do a surprise visit to see if he's up to any shady business!"

Luo Beiqing simply didn't want to take up too much of Wen Yan's personal time.

Wen Yan nodded, both amused and exasperated, and gave the servants a few instructions before leaving.

A short while later, He Tingchuan arrived uninvited, carrying a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and placed it on Luo Beiqing's bedside.

"vomit!"

Luo Beiqing suddenly couldn't help but feel nauseous and vomit.

"What's going on? Why is she experiencing morning sickness?" He Tingchuan anxiously went to help Luo Beiqing.

Luo Beiqing pushed him away desperately: "Stay away from me, the smell makes me want to vomit!"

He Tingchuan: "?"

"I haven't smoked or drunk anything lately, and I just took a shower before going out. I smell like farts." He Tingchuan laughed in anger, his handsome eyes carrying a hint of arrogance. "Luo Beiqing, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Luo Bei's face turned pale as she looked at He Tingchuan warily, afraid that he would get closer.

After rinsing her mouth, she paused for a moment before saying, "It might be the smell of a scumbag. My daughter doesn't like scumbags."

He Tingchuan: "..."

Grass!

The next second, he suddenly realized, his eyes lit up, and he looked at her protruding belly. Even though he was trying to suppress it, you could hear the joy in his voice: "A daughter? You checked?"

He loves his daughter; she's so sweet and soft!

"No," Luo Beiqing said sarcastically. "If it were a daughter, your He family would disdain having anything to do with my child."

She only hoped that her child would have nothing to do with the He family.

He Tingchuan's expression darkened slightly. "Luo Beiqing, I apologize for what happened before. I will handle the He family matters properly, including my mother. I promise that what happened before will never happen again."

“He Tingchuan, the reason I’m willing to see you now and accept the things you bring me is simply because you are the biological father of my child. I don’t want my child to face a bunch of messy things from the moment he’s born, but—” Luo Beiqing paused, cold and indifferent, “this doesn’t mean I’m willing to have any relationship with you or your He family anymore, do you understand?”

So, how you deal with the He family, how you deal with your mother, is none of my business.

Wen Yan followed the waiter upstairs to the VIP room.

Halfway there, I suddenly heard a familiar voice—

“Ying Kaian, my dad has been kidnapped, I have to save him! ... I don’t want any dividends or interest, I just want the principal I gave you! ... Ying Kaian, your company is a company, but my dad’s life isn’t a life?”
