Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 241 Gu Yanci, I'm thinking of ignoring you for a few days

Unfamiliar touch, unfamiliar scent, unfamiliar temperature, unfamiliar body.

Everything was unfamiliar.

Jiang Xing had slept for too long, and her mind was a little unclear. For a moment, she couldn't distinguish between the kiss she was currently receiving and the kiss from last night. Even the hands that were igniting fire everywhere were burning her, making her react slowly.

However, her goal was clear; she knew what she wanted to do!

Lou Qi doesn't have the problem of blacking out when he's drunk. After he woke up, until Jiang Xing opened her eyes, all he could think about were the moments he shared with Jiang Xing after he got drunk the night before.

He pulled the person away, held them tightly in his arms and kissed them, touching them all over but reluctant to go all the way to the final step.

The events of last night overlapped with this moment. Lou Qi looked at the woman in front of him with eyes that seemed to be ready to die for her country, and was a little puzzled - last night, she didn't seem to be so resistant.

Was everything that happened last night real?

She probably wouldn't give him that kind of friendly look, much less obediently let him take her home from the bar.

"Relax, Dr. Jiang," Lou Qi said, half-commanding and half-teasing.

Jiang Xing closed his eyes tightly.

I can't relax at all!

"Unwilling?" Lou Qi's tone was somewhat impatient as things didn't go smoothly.

Jiang Xing had a premonition that Ying Kaian was about to threaten him at any moment.

"Your skills are lacking," Jiang Xing retorted expressionlessly.

I feel very uncomfortable and out of place.

Is the technology inadequate?

Lou Qi laughed in exasperation, and thus abandoned those absurd ideas of hesitating and taking things slowly.

"Ouch! It hurts! The building..."

Jiang Xing lost her voice due to the intense pain, her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

All the shouts disappeared into the chaotic rhythm...

Wen Yan searched around the bar but couldn't find Gu Yanci. Instead, she was stopped by several men along the way who asked for her contact information.

She called Gu Yanci again, but still no one answered. Feeling a little annoyed, she was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something.

So they changed their minds and went to the bar manager.

The band on stage is a rising star in the music industry, and they handled the last-minute song changes with ease.

The band's lead singer picked up the microphone and said, "The next song is a gift from a beautiful lady in the audience, Ms. Wen, to her husband—please enjoy 'Apologize'!"

This is an English song full of love and apology, and its melodious voice echoes in the bar.

Wen Yan sat at the bar, waiting quietly.

However, three minutes passed, the song ended, and no one came looking for him.

"Miss Wen, what do you think?" the bar manager asked Wen Yan with a smile.

Wen Yan scanned the code to pay and asked to sing it again, emphasizing that it was "a lady surnamed Wen" who ordered it for her husband.

By the third time the song was sung, the guests present noticed the problem.

The bar's rule is that a normal song request costs five figures. If you ask someone to repeat a song, the price doubles; if you ask them to sing it a third time, the price doubles again. Since the bar opened, no customer has ever asked to repeat a song three times—it just seems a bit shameless.

As the song title and lyrics came into play, the guests gradually quieted down and looked around to find out who this "Ms. Wen" was and who the apology in "Apologize" was directed at.

Wen Yan waited for half an hour, only to be met with a cacophony of voices and gossip around her.

She felt somewhat disappointed, her heart was heavy, and she even gradually became angry, so she simply turned around and left the bar.

He doesn't answer the phone, and he doesn't show up even when he hears her singing these songs.

forget about it!

Just then, the sound of running shoes quickly pounding on the ground grew closer and closer.

Wen Yan was angrily looking down when she heard the sound. She looked up and saw the man stop running and start walking. He walked very fast and was in front of her in an instant.

The man's short hair was a little messy because he was in such a hurry.

Wen Yan was still unhappy, but when she saw the man suddenly appear, she was stunned and stood still for a moment, quietly watching her.

Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke.

Finally, Gu Yanci spoke first: "What are you thinking about?"

She made him angry, so she ran away and is now staring at him without saying a word.

Wen Yan answered truthfully, "I want to ignore you for a few days."

"..."

Gu Yanci was at a loss for words, but fortunately he always had a calm expression, otherwise he wouldn't even know how to put on an expression at this moment.

He felt his wife was being unreasonable: "What are you doing here?"

"Just strolling around," Wen Yan casually made up.

"Who requested the song inside half an hour ago?" Gu Yanci pointed to the bar behind Wen Yan.

Wen Yan was sulking, but now she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Gu Yanci, why didn't you show up earlier? What's the meaning of coming to me now? Are you trying to ridicule me?"

She was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Already feeling uneasy because of the speculations about Gu Jingzhou, she wanted a definite answer but got nowhere, which only led to an argument with Gu Yanci. She finally mustered up the courage to take the initiative to find him, but couldn't find him. So, she resorted to the same trick she used when she wanted a divorce: she ordered songs at a bar and even revealed her surname as Wen, thinking that Gu Yanci would understand.

The results of it?

The song was repeated three times, and he ignored half an hour of apologies and declarations of love!

"Gu Yanci, you can just say you want a divorce!"

Gu Yanci was initially distressed by her red eye circles, which resembled rabbit eyes, but the next second he heard her mention divorce again, which made him furious.

"Wen Zhizhi, when did I ever say I wanted a divorce? You want a divorce? No way!"

"So what do you want to do? Watch me lose face and apologize to you in public, just to start a fight? You—"

"I'm not at the bar!"

Gu Yanci had no choice but to interrupt her to prevent her from saying something that would make them both even angrier.

"?" Wen Yan's anger stopped abruptly. "Lou Qi said you were inside."

"I had to go to the company to work overtime."

Gu Yanci originally planned to invite Lou Qi to drink together, but Lou Qi was not there. He was drowning his sorrows in alcohol at a bar, and he was worried that Wen Yan would be angry if she found out.

Who would have thought that this woman would find the bar herself and pull such a stunt!

If it weren't for a second-generation rich kid who wanted to curry favor with him and take this opportunity to say a few more words to him, he wouldn't have known that Wen Yan was here!

The other party's exact words were: "Young Master Gu, today a woman at the bar ordered 'Apologize' three times, and coincidentally, it happened to be the same surname as your wife!"

Wen Yan was a little embarrassed, but still looked at Gu Yanci suspiciously: "You're really not here? Are you sure you didn't deliberately ignore me, and then came after me because you realized I was angry and things went too far?"

Gu Yanci was speechless. "Mrs. Gu, would you like to see the company's access surveillance footage?"

"Then why don't you answer the phone? Is your phone just for decoration?"

"I left in such a hurry that I left my phone in the office."

Wen Yan's logic was clear: "I already called you before."

Gu Yanci pursed his lips, took a step forward, grasped Wen Yan's hand, and admitted his mistake: "I was angry at that time."

So it was indeed intentional that he didn't answer the phone.

Wen Yan looked at Gu Yanci with an accusing expression that seemed to say, "Fine! What did I tell you?!" She was clearly adept at turning the tables.
