Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 313 I Missed You, Little Doctor

Jiang Xing gave the paper a final check, sent it to the journal editor, and opened the unread emails in his inbox:

Don't think that Lou Shao likes you that much; he used to cherish me just as much!

[Lou Shao's needs are very high, is he like that with you too? Jiang Xing, how many positions have you tried with him? At the most intense moments, he kept me in bed for three days and three nights.]

【You, surnamed Jiang, are completely unworthy of Lou Qi! I advise you to leave now, lest you get dumped and look pathetic!】

The Lou family will never agree to have a woman like you as their daughter-in-law!

……

Jiang Xing deleted the spam emails without expression.

Perhaps because the private apartment was too big, Jiang Xing felt a bit cold.

She has lost count of how many emails like this she has received this month. At first, they were sent via text message, but after she blocked the phone number, they started sending emails.

Jiang Xing even knew that these text messages came from different people because of the different tones, and the photos of Lou Qi that the other party sent when they provoked her were also of different girls.

"Still working?"

Jiang Xing was startled awake by the sound and suddenly came to her senses. As soon as she turned around to look back, the man, who had returned home at some point, was already behind her, bending down to kiss her.

Jiang Xing was overwhelmed by the strong smell of alcohol and it took her a while to adjust. She reached out to push away the person pressing down on her, but her hands were instantly pinned above her head, making it easier for the other person to take what they wanted.

"Did you miss me?" the man asked between kisses, his voice tinged with the smugness of a business dinner.

Jiang Xing couldn't bring herself to say the word 'want': "We just met this morning."

They went to work separately in the morning, ate breakfast together, and left the house together.

"But I miss you, little professor."

As the man spoke, his hands began to wander.

Jiang Xing recalled the phrase "high demand" and "position" from the email, and her body reacted faster than her brain—she went to abandon the building!

The man sensed her clear resistance, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant; it wasn't a case of feigned reluctance.

"What's wrong?" Lou Qi calmed down instantly.

Jiang Xing's eyelashes trembled slightly: "You had a business dinner tonight? Did you have a female companion?"

"Are you jealous?" When questioned, Lou Qi not only didn't get angry, but his eyes even shone with unprecedented joy and satisfaction.

“No.” Jiang Xing looked away from him. “I heard you used to be a womanizer. I… don’t want a man who has just come off another woman.”

Lou Qi breathed a sigh of relief and kissed Jiang Xing with a smile: "Little Doctor, I haven't touched any other woman since I met you."

He pinched her soft flesh, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "Am I not trying hard enough? Making you suspect I'm cheating on you?"

Jiang Xing wanted to deny it, but Lou Qi didn't give her a chance. The next second, she felt her body lighten and was picked up and carried to the bathroom.

……

"Lou, Louqi..." Jiang Xing tried to push the man off her, unable to bear it any longer. "I have to go to work tomorrow... Don't, don't come anymore..."

"What class is Aci in? I'll ask for leave for you."

Lou Qi knew very well that for Gu Yanci, Jiang Xing's primary task as an employee was to protect Wen Yan, and only secondarily was the work in the office.

"Little PhD, quit your job, I'll support you, okay?"

Lou Qi was very unhappy that Jiang Xing was putting too much attention into his work, which made him feel that, for Jiang Xing, he, a man, was not as important as a worthless job.

Jiang Xing's scattered rationality returned in an instant, and she refused very seriously: "No! Lou Qi, I am an independent individual!"

Lou Qi was taken aback, then quickly coaxed, "I was just saying, don't be angry, okay?"

"The fact that you say that means you really think that way." Jiang Xing's expression turned cold, and she reached out to push him again. "Lou Qi, get out!"
