Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 319 Take Your Man Back

Lou Qi didn't answer but instead asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Xing pursed her lips and remained silent.

She has always been a calm and collected person.

When the Cullinan stopped in the apartment parking lot, Jiang Xing reached for the car door, only to find that it wouldn't open.

The man in the driver's seat remained motionless, his left hand on the steering wheel. He turned to look at her, his gaze somewhat somber, carrying an emotion that Jiang Xing couldn't decipher.

He clearly wasn't going to let her fool him; he wanted to explain things to her clearly.

Jiang Xing took a shallow breath and slowly said, "Lou Qi, I can't guarantee that I won't see Ying Kaian again, but I can guarantee that I have no romantic feelings for him, only old grudges."

"Then what do you want to do?" Lou Qi was amused by her, "See him disgust you?"

Jiang Xing smiled and said, "Lou Qi, thank you for being willing to help me."

Having gotten to know her better over this period of time, Lou Qi now knows that this is her silent rejection. She doesn't want to have a conflict with him, but she also doesn't want to open up to him, and she's even less willing to ask him for help.

The car door lock clicked open by the person in the driver's seat.

Jiang Xing opened the car door and got out, walking ahead.

She wanted to use Lou Qi's influence to completely destroy Ying Kaian, but that didn't mean she wanted Lou Qi to stand up for her directly—Lou Qi had many overt and covert competitors in the industry, and if he openly stepped forward, he might be targeted.

Moreover, she is not from the elite social circle. If Lou Qi were to lower himself to mess with her ex-boyfriend for her sake, people would laugh at him.

Suddenly, a loud 'thud!' came from behind, startling Jiang Xing.

Lou Qi kicked the trash can next to him in frustration.

Lou Qi watched Jiang Xing's retreating figure, his teeth itching with anger.

Just walked in the door.

Jiang Xing was pushed against the wall by a force, followed by urgent kisses, densely covering the back of her neck, and then downwards...

Lou Qi's actions were urgent and rough, as if he was holding back his anger, which reminded Jiang Xing of the first time the two of them met.

"Lou...Louqi!" Jiang Xing said, somewhat frightened, "...I haven't taken a shower yet."

Lou Qi wasn't exactly a man of few words; in fact, he was usually quite willing to guide Jiang Xing with words in these kinds of situations. But today, without saying a word, he carried her directly to the bathroom, and hot water poured down from the showerhead.

……

"Jiang Xing, you don't trust me." The man lay on top of her, a hint of self-loathing in his voice. "I've done so much for you, can't you see it? What do you want for me to believe me? Hmm?"

Jiang Xing opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but didn't know what to say. Before he could think, his thoughts were scattered.

Towards the end, I couldn't hold on any longer and almost fainted.

When she was fully awake, she was the only one left in the room. The blackout curtains were not closed tightly, leaving a gap, but there was no light coming from outside.

Jiang Xing glanced at the time; it was 10 p.m.

She was clean; Lou Qi had given her a bath afterward, which left Jiang Xing with a subtle contradiction—he was clearly throwing a tantrum at her, yet he still remembered to give her a bath.

Was he this attentive to his ex-girlfriends as he was to them?

Despite the discomfort from the strenuous exercise, Jiang Xing walked out of the room. The huge apartment was empty.

The building is abandoned and the owner is not home.

Where did it go?

Did you go back to the office to work overtime?

Exhaustion told Jiang Xing she should go back to bed and rest, but she couldn't fall asleep and kept checking her phone for messages about Lou Qi.

It was almost midnight, and the man still hadn't returned.

It wasn't until Jiang Xing received a call from Gu Yanci: "Come to the bar and take your man home."
