Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 331 He Wants to Marry Me

Jiang Xing looked at him with a bewildered expression, as if to say, "Listen to what you're saying."

Lou Qi, realizing what she was thinking under her gaze, looked somewhat embarrassed but forced himself to remain composed: "What?"

"So men can slander people just as well as women," Jiang Xing said with an expression of 'learning something new'.

Lou Qi was so angry that smoke was billowing from his seven orifices.

He's slandering?

He's slandering?

"Which of my words was defamatory?"

"Have you even met him before you say he has a receding hairline? Do you even know him before you say he came back because he couldn't make it in America?"

"Are you really that interested in that man?"

"...?" When did she say she was interested in that man?

She was just speaking fairly and impartially.

Jiang Xing had nothing to say and turned to leave.

This is absolutely unreasonable!

-

Wen Yan and Gu Yanci arrived at the restaurant's private room first.

Now three months pregnant, Wen Yan's figure looks almost unchanged from before, except that her expression is gentler than ever.

Lou Qi glanced at Jiang Xing, as if to say: See? Wen Yan is here. I didn't lie to you, did I?

Jiang Xing: "..."

During the meal, Jiang Xing and Wen Yan mostly chatted idly, with the two men rarely speaking. Gu Yanci kept a close eye on Wen Yan, paying close attention to her food choices.

"Why did you have Lou Qi call me for dinner today?" Jiang Xing asked Wen Yan.

The two men paused simultaneously as they were picking up food with their chopsticks.

Wen Yan looked completely bewildered: "Wasn't this noon a gathering hosted by Lou Qichuan, and was he asking me to come and keep you company?"

The two looked at each other and suddenly realized what was going on.

So these two men were lying to both of them!

Wen Yan secretly kicked Gu Yanci under the table.

Lou Qi subconsciously looked at Jiang Xing, but the latter didn't even glance at him.

I can't be bothered with him at all!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room became extremely awkward.

After finishing their meal and leaving the restaurant, Wen Yan asked softly, "Did you and Lou Qi have a fight?"

"I...didn't really show it?" Jiang Xing didn't want Wen Yan, who was pregnant, to worry about her.

Wen Yan spoke frankly: "Lou Qi used to be so attentive to you, but today he didn't even put a single bite of food on your plate!"

Jiang Xing sighed: "He wants to marry me."

"Cough cough cough!" Wen Yan was so shocked that she choked on her own saliva.

Jiang Xing was startled and quickly patted Wen Yan's back.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Yanci rushed over to support Wen Yan, asking anxiously, "What happened?"

"N-nothing." Wen Yan quickly waved her hand, then continued to look at Jiang Xing with a gossipy expression.

Jiang Xing glanced at Lou Qi who was walking over and quickly said, "I refused."

Wen Yan stared in shock.

I was initially worried that Jiang Xing would get hurt in this relationship.

However, at this point, the initiative is no longer in the hands of Lou Qi, this seasoned lover.

Often walking by the river, how can there not be wet shoes?

-

Through several connections, Jiang Xing finally managed to obtain some information about the eldest son of the Cheng family, who was planning to invest in Mingkai Technology.

I graduated from Columbia University, and coincidentally, my colleague's cousin was also an alumnus.

The next day.

The short-haired colleague asked Jiang Xing about her attitude again, and Jiang Xing nodded.

"Yay! My cousin is a really nice guy! Wait—" The short-haired colleague remembered this and asked somewhat uncertainly, "You and Boss Lou...?"

Jiang Xing smiled and said, "He and I are not in a romantic relationship."

The short-haired colleague breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Are you free tonight? I'll ask my cousin to come over tonight!"

Fearing that Jiang Xing might change her mind!

Jiang Xing nodded: "Okay!"

The news that Jiang Xing was going to see his 'cousin' quietly reached the ears of the department manager.

The department manager, against his conscience, silently sent a WeChat message to Lou Qi's assistant.
