Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 318 What, you won't let me kiss you anymore?

Jiang Xing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although Lou Qi was angry, he was still paying attention to her.

The first day of the Autumn Equinox was not sunny; the sky was overcast, just like a man's complexion.

A Cullinan was parked outside the venue. Lou Qi opened the passenger door and gestured for Jiang Xing to get in.

Jiang Xing didn't say much and obediently got into the car.

The car door slammed shut with a loud bang, which was enough to show the owner's bad mood.

Jiang Xing watched as the man walked around the front of the car to the driver's seat, wondering if Lou Qi was angry because she had used him or because of something else. Did he know that she was using him?

He's smart enough to know that, right?

Suddenly, the man who had already walked around the front of the car strode back.

The car door was pulled in from the outside.

"Lou—uh!"

Lou Qi kissed Jiang Xing in shock!

A kiss brimming with intense aggression, like a ferocious beast attacking a pond, savage and brutal...

Jiang Xing sensed Lou Qi's extremely strong negative emotions, as if he was suppressing anger and impatience, as well as an unease that had nowhere to be released.

After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Xing suddenly realized that they were outside the venue, in broad daylight, and that someone might be walking nearby, watching them...

"Building—uh—no—"

She reached out to push him away, but the man forcefully grabbed both her wrists, leaving her leaning against the back of the chair and completely at his mercy.

"What, you won't let me kiss you anymore?" Lou Qi felt that she was almost out of breath before he released her lips, mercifully letting her catch her breath.

The man pinched her chin and asked mockingly, "You wouldn't let me touch you last night, and today you won't even let me kiss you. You think someone like Ying Kaian will let you hold his hand?"

These two are completely unrelated!

And holding hands? Ying Kai'an, is that what you call holding hands?

"He was the one who stopped me from leaving! He was just grabbing my wrist!"

Lou Qi lowered his eyes, his gaze falling once again on Jiang Xing's wrist, his expression somewhat gloomy.

Jiang Xing also lost her temper: "Lou Qi, do you think I'm being pathetic? Otherwise, why would I have any feelings for Ying Kaian?"

Doesn't he know how bad her relationship with Ying Kaian is? To say that she still has feelings for Ying Kaian is an insult!

Lou Qi turned around and got into the car.

Lou Qi looked straight ahead and reminded, "Seatbelt."

Jiang Xing didn't move, staring at him angrily.

Lou Qi gritted his teeth, and after a moment, with a cold face, he bent down and fastened Jiang Xing's seatbelt.

The overwhelming pressure emanating from the man made Jiang Xing momentarily dazed, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Lou Qi." Jiang Xing raised her eyes. "You're angry with me, yet you still fasten my seatbelt."

The man looked at her with an expression that said, "What the hell are you talking about?"

He was angry, but it wasn't that he didn't want to continue being with her.

"Why are you unhappy? Is it because I took advantage of you?" Jiang Xing asked.

"You used me to meet Ying Kaian, shouldn't I be angry?" the man sneered.

So that's why?

She thought he had seen through her use of his status and position to attack Ying Kaian.

Jiang Xing stared at the man in the driver's seat and for the first time thought he was a bit silly.

The Cullinan sped off, a testament to its owner's anger.

There was silence in the carriage.

Years later, the man suddenly said, "Don't see him again. Tell me what you want to do, and I'll take care of it."

He... he knew?!

Jiang Xing looked at him in shock, her heart pounding wildly as if someone had caught her red-handed. She tried to remain calm: "You...what do you mean?"
