Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 250 I'm pregnant, are you going to cheat on me?

A room filled with tender affection.

It was already past midnight when it ended, and it was only when Wen Yan couldn't take it anymore that she bit the man's shoulder, forcing him to stop.

"Wen Zhizhi, you need to know that I've been starving for a month," Gu Yanci said, trying to justify himself.

Wen Yan pushed away the man who was clinging to her again and said irritably, "It's only been a month. If I get pregnant in the future, will you have to wait ten months? Are you planning to cheat on me?"

Men are all driven by their lower instincts!

Gu Yanci clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, pinching Wen Yan's sensitive nape as if he were holding her by the throat, warning her, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Wen Yan was ticklish and couldn't help but shrug, still stubbornly insisting, "I didn't say anything wrong!"

The man took her hand, held it in his own, and squeezed it with interest, teaching her, "Baby, there are many ways."

Wen Yan glared at him, trying to pull her hand away, but failed, so she simply let him be.

Before going to sleep, Wen Yan thought of Jiang Xing again.

"I have no right to interfere in what happened between Senior Sister and Lou Qi, but Gu Yanci, if something bad really happens between them in the future, it will be my fault."

Jiang Xing went to work at Gu Yanci's company because Gu Yanci had offered to help Jiang Xing's father, but her father failed to return to the country, leaving Jiang Xing indebted to her. Furthermore, if it weren't for Gu Yanci, Jiang Xing might not have met with Lou Qi so frequently in the early stages, thus not creating so many opportunities for Lou Qi.

Knowing full well that Lou Qi was a trap, how could she let Jiang Xing be the one to fill it?

-

After attending the classmate reunion dinner, Jiang Xing did not continue with the karaoke session and left first.

As soon as she stepped out of the hotel, a Panamera stopped in front of her, blocking her way.

The car window rolled down, revealing Lou Qi's face.

The man tilted his head slightly, gesturing for Jiang Xing to get in the car.

Jiang Xing frowned, somewhat hesitant.

"Dr. Jiang, if you linger here, your classmate will come out and see you, and things will get even more complicated," Lou Qi 'kindly' reminded him.

Jiang Xing got into the car expressionlessly, and the next moment a beautiful paper bag landed on her lap.

"I've arranged a celebration party for you tonight," Lou Qi said as he started the car.

"Celebrating what?"

"Congratulations on your PhD graduation."

Jiang Xing didn't think there was anything to celebrate. Not to mention the whole country, her school alone had hundreds of doctoral graduates this year. She wasn't the only one. What was there to celebrate?

But seeing the man in the driver's seat with a smile on his face, looking quite pleased, Jiang Xing didn't refuse—he had probably already made arrangements, and her absence would likely embarrass him; there was no need to argue with him over something so unimportant.

Inside the paper bag was a long dress, mint green, with a satin body. It wasn't very formal, but it was clearly custom-made to her size, with every inch fitting perfectly.

After her parents passed away a few months ago, she lost a lot of weight. Only Lou Qi's hands could measure her body size so accurately.

Thinking about the indescribable things that happened that night, Jiang Xing couldn't help but feel her cheeks burning.

"Does it fit?" Lou Qi, who was looking at his phone, looked up when he heard the fitting room door open, and his pupils widened slightly in surprise.

He seemed to have never seen anyone suited this mint green color better than Jiang Xing. How could someone be so intelligent, good-looking, and have such a great sense of style? It was truly...

"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Xing looked at the man with a slight smile on his lips, puzzled.

Lou Qi withdrew his gaze, did not answer, and asked, "Should I have someone come and do your makeup?"

"Is this alright?" Jiang Xing wore light makeup today, but she had never attended an event with Lou Qi before, and she was unsure if she would be impolite.

"Of course." Lou Qi took her hand and walked out, with a student opening the door and leading the way. "Dr. Jiang, being my girlfriend means I don't need to worry about what others think."

In short, she inadvertently dragged down her ex-boyfriend, Ying Kaian.

Jiang Xing lowered his eyes and thought to himself, when did she agree to be his girlfriend?

She thought they were just bed partners with a special relationship. That didn't seem accurate, since although he touched her inappropriately and spoke to her ambiguously in the period that followed, he didn't actually do anything substantial.

Jiang Xing couldn't quite understand him.

Did he also prefer this mild-mannered approach with his previous female companions or girlfriends?

"Brother Lou!"

"Young Master Lou is here!"

……

As soon as the door to the private room opened, a bunch of people stood up one after another and greeted Lou Qi warmly.

"Hey beautiful! New girlfriend?" Someone spotted Jiang Xing.

The use of the word 'new' here is quite subtle.

For some reason, Lou Qi subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xing, a subtle tension that he himself was unaware of.

However, Jiang Xing simply maintained a polite smile, did not respond, and did not care at all about what others said, whether new or old.

The atmosphere was a bit strange. Jiang Xing noticed that several people kept looking in one direction.

The sound of high heels approached from the darkness, and a beautiful woman with long, curly hair walked over, completely ignoring Jiang Xing, and looked at Lou Qi coquettishly: "Brother Lou..."

"Young Master Lou, Yueyue happened to have an event nearby, and we ran into her on the way, so we came together," someone explained.

Actually, it was Gu Yueyue who insisted on coming, wanting to salvage her relationship with Lou Qi.

Lou Qi ignored Gu Yueyue, draping his long, strong arm over Jiang Xing's shoulder in a completely possessive and intimate gesture as he introduced her to the group of people who had gathered around him:

"This is Jiang Xing, my girlfriend. Tonight I'm treating everyone to celebrate her doctoral graduation."

Everyone looked at Gu Yueyue awkwardly. The ex-girlfriend meeting the current girlfriend, wow!

Gu Yueyue, who was present at the time, was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she said with shock and admiration, "A PhD? That's amazing! Female PhDs are so rare, and female PhDs who can find partners are even rarer. Miss Jiang, if you graduate with your PhD, will you be almost thirty?"

Lou Qi frowned in displeasure, but before he could speak, he heard the woman beside him laugh.

Jiang Xing said, "I heard that Miss Gu didn't finish university and only has a high school diploma. It's normal that she's not familiar with our country's education system and its current state. However, if I were you, I would choose to keep my mouth shut in areas where I'm ignorant, so as not to expose my stupidity."

"Pfft!"

"Hahahahaha!"
