Chapter 363 This is too intimate
Jiang Xing instinctively wanted to back away, but reason prevailed, realizing there was nowhere to retreat. Controlling her body, she calmly faced Lou Qi.
She said through gritted teeth, "That's very impolite of you!"
He can't even swear properly; Lou Qi wants to laugh.
He shrugged and asked nonchalantly, "Do you think I'm a polite person?"
He is not.
Never.
His initial politeness was all an act to deceive her and make him appear respectable!
Jiang Xing took a deep breath, trying to convince himself to just ignore it, like a light bulb was on next to him. After all... it was true, what hadn't he seen about her?
Jiang Xing lowered her eyes and quickly put on the skirt, then bent down to take off her pants.
Just then, the car slowed down!
Jiang Xing lost her balance and, due to inertia, fell forward.
There was no pain or embarrassment as I had imagined...
Or rather, she never imagined she would be in such a sorry state.
Lou Qi reacted quickly, grabbing her waist with one hand and shielding her forehead with the other to prevent her from bumping into something—it happened in the blink of an eye, yet it was entirely expected.
The man was standing very close.
Almost instantly, the air became scorching and tense.
Perhaps because the dress was made of silk, the warmth of the man's palms seeped through the fabric, making her feel a little hot.
Jiang Xing's body stiffened slightly, and she straightened up by supporting herself on the back of the chair with one hand.
"Aren't you going to thank me?" Lou Qi withdrew his hand slowly, giving Jiang Xing the illusion that he seemed to be... reluctant to part.
Given Jiang Xing's upbringing and manners, he would certainly say thank you, but—
She turned her head and looked him straight in the eye: "Didn't I almost bump into you because of you? Do I need to thank you?"
Lou Qi raised an eyebrow slightly, finding the words "because of you" quite pleasant.
“Indeed.” Lou Qi said, reaching out his hand again.
Jiang Xing subconsciously leaned back a little, which was better than nothing, and the man's hand landed on the back of her neck.
"I'll abandon you—!"
"No need to thank me."
The man fastened the pearl button at the back of her dress.
This action was rather intimate, and Jiang Xing paused for a couple of beats, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
She was just a tool today, consider it overtime!
-
The banquet was very large, with people coming and going.
Jiang Xing really couldn't see why Lou Qi was indispensable or important to this banquet.
He was neither the host nor the guest of honor, and he was constantly being flattered, so he clearly held a high position here.
She belatedly realized that she might have been set up!
The other female guests were all holding the arms of the male guests. Jiang Xing glanced at her own hand, which was being held by Lou Qi like a child, and tugged at it.
Lou Qi had just greeted someone, then turned to look at her.
“This isn’t formal,” Jiang Xing said, lifting the two people’s clasped hands.
Lou Qi smiled faintly: "I thought you were going to say that this is too intimate."
Jiang Xing: "..."
That's what she thinks.
"Mr. Lou, who is this?" A male guest who walked over asked Lou Qi jokingly.
Those teasing and gossipy looks clearly implied that Jiang Xing was Lou Qi's girlfriend, not just a female companion.
Jiang Xing took out his hand, linked it with Lou Qi's arm, and said with a smile, "I am President Lou's secretary."
Anyway, back when she was Lou's ex-girlfriend, only a few people in the wealthy circle knew about it. She had never met these people today.
When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.
Lou Qi's smile froze, and the smile in his eyes faded.
"Oh? Miss, do you know what kind of woman Mr. Lou likes?" A woman in her thirties next to her asked with a smile, half-jokingly, "I have a cousin who has admired Mr. Lou for a long time, but she doesn't know if she fits his taste."
