Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 347 Jiang Xing's Pillow Talk

Back home from Longyu Bay, Gu Yanci's words kept echoing in Jiang Xing's mind.

Were you beaten by your family?

Was he injured when he came back this morning?

Why doesn't he say anything?

Gu Yanci said he needs care; is he seriously injured?

If it was an elder in your own family who did it, the injury shouldn't be too serious, right?

If he's seriously injured, he should go to the hospital... and his family will take him there too.

Jiang Xing used her rationality to calm her emotions and control her impulse to go back and see Lou Qi. In the end, she only dialed the number of Lou Qi's personal assistant.

-

"Mr. Lou? Mr. Lou, wake up!"

Lou Qi was woken up in a daze. He found it noisy and opened his eyes with a hint of anticipation in his heart until he saw the face of his personal assistant, Gao Zhu.

"..." Gao Zhu clearly saw the light in the boss's eyes fade after he realized it was him.

Assistant Gao carefully helped Lou Qi, who was lying on the sofa, to sit up: "Mr. Lou, you have a fever. Shall I take you to the hospital?"

Lou Qi pushed away his assistant's hand and looked around.

The two boxes on the ground were gone, and Jiang Xing had indeed left. The nightmarish scene was his real memory, not a figment of his imagination.

Jiang Xing broke up with him and left him immediately.

There is absolutely no room for maneuver.

It was already dark outside the window. Less than 24 hours had passed since Jiang Xing left, but it felt like an eternity to him.

"Just give me some fever reducer." Lou Qi didn't want to go to the hospital. He remembered the last time he had a fever, Jiang Xingxing took care of him at home.

Gao Zhu helped Lou Qi up and said worriedly, "Aren't you still injured? I think it would be safer to go to the hospital to get checked out."

Lou Qi waved his hand impatiently, about to say he wouldn't go, but then suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly turned to Gao Zhu, asking, "How did you know I was injured?"

His sharp gaze made Gao Zhu feel an overwhelming pressure.

He pursed his lips and said, "President Gu told me."

Lou gave up and closed his eyes listlessly: "I'm not going to the hospital."

Quite stubborn.

Gao Zhu had no choice; as an employee, he couldn't force his boss to pay wages, so he could only give Lou Qi fever-reducing medication.

Two hours later, Lou Qi's fever subsided. However, at dawn, Lou Qi's fever returned. He took fever-reducing medicine again, but it didn't work.

Gao Zhu earnestly persuaded the boss to go to the hospital.

Lou Qi lay on the bed, his brows furrowed in discomfort, muttering something in his sleep.

"Mr. Lou, what did you say?" Assistant Gao leaned closer to listen.

I only heard two words: "...Ah...wake up..."

Gao Zhu covered his face and sighed, deeply missing the boss who insisted that "a wise man does not fall in love."

Gao Zhu went out of the bedroom to the living room and quietly dialed Jiang Xing's number.

"Miss Jiang, could you please come over? Mr. Lou's fever keeps going up and down. What if something happens to him... what will I do for the rest of my life? Please, for the sake of me not betraying you and the fact that we are alumni, help me, okay?"

Jiang Xing didn't expect Lou Qi to be so difficult to deal with, and said, "If all else fails, we'll notify his family."

After speaking, I hung up.

She can no longer appear in front of Lou Qi.

Gao Zhu hung up the phone with a bitter expression, wondering what the chances of being fired if he went to tell Lou Zong's family. Then he turned around—

"Ah! Mr. Lou, why are you out here?"

Lou Qi actually leaned against the door and came out!

His lips were extremely pale and weak, his cheeks were an unhealthy red, and his complexion was terrible, but his expression was complicated, not like the anger of someone who had been simply deceived.

His heart was beating very fast, whether from mental stimulation or physical weakness, it was completely out of control.

He asked, almost breathless, "Did Jiang Xing ask you to take care of me? Did Jiang Xing tell you I was injured? Why did you lie to me?"

Lou Qi overheard the phone call just now.

He woke up almost the instant he vaguely heard the words "Miss Jiang".

"Mr. Lou, you know how much you pamper Miss Jiang. How could I dare to go against her? What if she whispers something bad about me in my ear? I... I..."

Lou Qi's expression relaxed a bit.

If Jiang Xing were to whisper sweet nothings in his ear, well, he would definitely believe it.
