Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 338 You can't like someone who is bisexual.

Jiang Xing left amidst the stunned silence of those around him.

She found a secluded spot and dialed the phone number she used to know so well.

"Ying Kaian, do you have a moment? I'd like to talk to you."

"You want to talk to me?" Ying Kaian asked sarcastically.

He was once full of confidence in managing Jiang Xing, but his experiences over the past year have forced him to face a reality—

"Jiang Xing, could it be that Lou Qi discovered you're not the innocent, obedient girl you seem to be, and has grown tired of you, so you've started thinking about me again?"

These words disgusted Jiang Xing so much that he felt nauseous. He forced himself to endure the discomfort and continued, "I'll give you a hotel room number. Whether you want to come or not is up to you."

"A hotel?" Ying Kaian laughed. "Jiang Xing, does Lou Qi know about what you're doing? Or have you two already broken up?"

Jiang Xing didn't answer and hung up the phone directly.

Ying Kaian is a contradictory being who is both extremely proud and extremely insecure. He will hold a grudge because Jiang Xing dumped him in the past, but he will also be overjoyed because Jiang Xing has changed his mind.

This joy had nothing to do with affection; it was simply a desire to humiliate Jiang Xing! To humiliate him both mentally and physically!

"Where did you go?"

Lou Qi was afraid that Jiang Xing would be bullied, so after dealing with his father, he immediately came back to look for him, but he couldn't find him. He was so anxious that he was pacing around in circles. Finally, he saw Jiang Xing.

"The restroom," Jiang Xing replied calmly.

"Has anyone bullied you?" Lou Qi held her hand.

"No."

Lou Qi led Jiang Xing to the center of the banquet, clearly intending to keep her by his side like a human ornament. As for whether Jiang Xing was willing... he hadn't considered it.

In the past two decades of his life, he had never wanted everyone to know exactly what his intimate relationship with a woman was like this.

“Lou Qi.” Jiang Xing guessed what he was thinking. “Even if you tell everyone today that I’m your girlfriend, it won’t make any difference. It will only make your parents unhappy.”

Lou Qi's smile faded slightly: "What do you mean by 'useless'?"

"No one would believe that the playboy Lou, who has been through countless women, would turn over a new leaf because of me."

—Don't be too high-profile. Just treat her like an ordinary guest so that things don't end up looking too bad.

"What do you mean, 'a person like you'?" Lou Qi's expression was serious.

Jiang Xing felt that his focus was also strange, completely off-topic.

"Never mind," she sighed. "Let's go. Who do you want me to see?"

"Weren't you asking about Cheng Jiang? Let me introduce you to him." Lou Qi affectionately squeezed Jiang Xing's hand and said, "If you want to know anything, or want to understand anything, asking me is the most direct way to ask others."

Lou Qi did not hide his desire to control Jiang Xing, nor did he hide the fact that he knew she had inquired about Cheng Jiang from Senior Zhang.

"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm inquiring about Cheng Jiang?" Jiang Xing asked.

Lou Qi didn't care at all: "It can't be that she likes someone who's bisexual."

As for the rest, Jiang Xing didn't say anything, so he didn't have to ask for the time being.

Jiang Xing remained silent, lowering her eyes to conceal all her emotions.

She definitely lacked an opportunity to talk to Cheng Jiang!

Cheng Jiang is less than 1.8 meters tall, noticeably shorter than Lou Qi. Fortunately, he has a good physique, his fashion sense, built on wealth, is first-rate, and his features are regular. At first glance, he appears to be a gentleman—if you don't look closely at his eyebrows and eyes.

Jiang Xing felt uncomfortable the moment she saw Cheng Jiang. When he looked at Jiang Xing, he scrutinized her without any restraint, as if he were examining prey.

"Young Master Cheng, this is my girlfriend," Lou Qi reminded him.

Cheng Jiang's smile was wicked: "Young Master Lou has so many girlfriends, I don't need to know them all, do I? But I do know a few of your ex-girlfriends, they're all pretty good in bed—how about this one?"
