Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 392 I'm Always Ready to Be a Father

As if remembering something, Jiang Xing quickly opened her phone and saw that Lou Qi had sent her a WeChat message ten minutes earlier saying he would pick her up from get off work. However, because she was used to keeping WeChat on silent during work hours, and she was also chatting with her colleagues, she hadn't noticed it.

His colleagues around him laughed knowingly, but because of Lou Qi's status, they didn't dare to laugh too openly.

Wait, why does the legendary young master Lou look like he's been dumped by his girlfriend?

"Jiang Lu, we're leaving now!"

"Goodbye, Ah-Xing!"

Goodbye, Mr. Lou!

The elevator arrived, and the colleagues, being quite perceptive, left first, leaving Jiang Xing to Lou Qi.

Jiang Xing waved goodbye to her colleagues, both amused and exasperated. She could already foresee that tomorrow—no, tonight—the gossip about her and Lou Qi would spread even wider and in greater detail throughout the company.

"I wasn't looking at my phone, you can call me." Jiang Xing walked up to Lou Qi, knowing he was in the wrong, and tried to appease him by pulling his hand. The next second, Lou Qi grabbed his hand in return.

"What if Lawyer Jiang is busy? What if Lawyer Jiang doesn't want her colleagues to know about me and deliberately ignores my messages? If I call you, wouldn't that upset you?"

"?" Jiang Xing was shocked by his nonsensical argument. "President Lou, listen to what you're saying."

Lou Qi chuckled and put his arm around the person as they walked out.

Jiang Xing pushed his hand away, still mindful of the decorum of public places, "You came here without even saying hello to President Gu?"

"Wen Yan's due date is at the end of the month, and he doesn't have time to talk to me."

Jiang Xing suddenly realized why he had heard that President Lou had turned down a lot of work recently.

She did the math and realized something was off: "It'll only be nine months by the end of the month, right?"

Lou Qi led Jiang Xing into the elevator: "Twins will be born early."

Jiang Xing tilted her head and teased him, "President Lou knows a lot."

"Yes." Lou Qi nodded. "I'm preparing."

"What preparation?"

Lou Qi glanced meaningfully at Jiang Xing's lower abdomen, then looked up at the woman's face and smiled, "As long as you agree, I'm always ready to be a father."

Jiang Xing was amused by him, clicked her tongue, and turned her head away, too lazy to pay him any attention.

Lou Qi understood what Jiang Xing meant; he thought Jiang Xing was joking.

The elevator door opens.

The parking lot was nearly empty, and Lou Qi took Jiang Xing's hand and got into the car.

He knew he wasn't joking.

He said he was serious about getting the marriage certificate.

He was serious when he said he wanted to be the father of her child.

But he couldn't say outright that he was serious.

What if we scare people away?

-

early morning.

When Jiang Xing woke up, Lou Qi was on the phone in the living room. The man was standing by the French windows, his face somewhat cold.

The man didn't hang up until she had almost finished her breakfast, and his expression wasn't very pleasant.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xing asked.

"fine."

Jiang Xing felt the situation was somewhat serious, otherwise Lou Qi's expression wouldn't be so unpleasant. She frowned: "Company matters? It's inconvenient for you to tell me?"

She dislikes being kept in the dark, and unless it's a business secret, she shouldn't know.

Lou Qi sat down opposite her, and after a while, asked, "Are you sure you want to know?"

Jiang Xing was very perceptive: "What does it have to do with me? Because of my situation, your parents have made things difficult for you, haven't they?"

"Would it be convenient for me to take a day off from work today?" Lou Qi changed his mind at the last minute. "If you really want to know, you can come with me."

"Okay." Jiang Xing replied without hesitation.

Now that she has decided to get back together with Lou Qi and seriously try being lovers, she will face any difficulties Lou Qi's family might cause him.
