Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 390 My marriage is my own decision.

In the end, Lou Qi was dragged away by Jiang Xing, and before leaving, he grabbed several boxes from the shelf.

That very evening, these covers came in handy.

Jiang Xing suddenly regretted his behavior at Minglou Group on Friday—it was practically like giving Lou Qi a shot of adrenaline, almost like drugging him!

terrible!

After several days of unrestrained exercise, Jiang Xing still had lower back pain when she went to work on Monday.

"Did I come to have lunch with you?" Lou Qi escorted Jiang Xing to the Gu Group building, holding her hand and unwilling to let her out of the car.

“Lou Qi, you’re making yourself look like you’re not doing your job properly.” Jiang Xing was even worried that Lou Qi might decide to skip work in the afternoon because he came to see her at noon.

She had seen something like this happen to Gu Yanci before, and Wen Yan had complained about it to her. At the time, she thought it was exaggerated, but now she had witnessed it firsthand.

There's a reason why some people can become good brothers.

Rejection was expected, but Lou Qi accepted it and then said as a second-best option, "Then I'll pick you up from get off work."

"..." Jiang Xing couldn't refuse now, "Okay."

Suddenly I realized that his suggestion to have lunch together was a trap!

Lou Qi had just arrived at the company and hadn't even gotten out of the car when he received a call from his mother.

"What's going on between you and that guy surnamed Jiang?" Lou's mother asked in an unfriendly tone.

"What do you mean?" Lou Qi asked in a normal tone, opening the door and getting out of the car.

"What do you mean?" Lou's mother thought he was pretending to be stupid and became even angrier. "Someone saw you shopping at the supermarket with her. What do you think I mean? Didn't you two break up? Wasn't it enough that she made you go to the hospital? Is she still bothering you?"

"Oh? How did you know we went to the supermarket together?" Lou Qi had only asked this question a few seconds before his WeChat vibrated.

Lou's mother sent a photo. In the photo, Lou Qi is pushing a stroller, and Jiang Xing is putting snacks into the stroller. Only their profiles are visible, and the scene is heartwarming.

I was secretly photographed while shopping at the supermarket on Saturday.

Presumably for the sake of image clarity, the photo was taken with a high-resolution telephoto lens, resulting in an excellent background blur effect.

Lou Qi was very satisfied and clicked "save" immediately.

"Have you seen the photos? What else do you have to say?" Lou's mother was exasperated. "Son, I'm your mother, I wouldn't harm you! That Jiang Xing will do you no good!"

"First, we did reconcile. Second, I begged her relentlessly before she agreed to get back together," Lou Qi said slowly. "Furthermore, I can only decide my own marriage. I'm telling you this, and I'm telling my dad too."

Jiang Xing hadn't been to the company for a while. As soon as she arrived at the office, her colleagues greeted her warmly, a stark contrast to the awkwardness they felt before she was assigned to Minglou Group.

After lunch, Jiang Xing received a large bouquet of red roses with a greeting card bearing the letter LQ.

In Jiang Xing's opinion, red roses were really a bit tacky!

Finally, the colleagues, who had been pretending all morning, couldn't hold back any longer. One of them sent a representative to ask, with a mix of teasing and cautiousness, "Is Lawyer Jiang no longer single?"

"Mm." Jiang Xing nodded generously.

Someone exclaimed, "Wow!"

"Who is it? Do we know each other?" Another person came closer, their eyes sparkling. It was clear that they weren't just curious, but excited, waiting for Jiang Xing's answer.

Jiang Xing thought for a moment. Because of her treat on Friday, many people within the Minglou Group should already know about her and Lou Qi's affair. As long as someone wants to gossip about her through the Gu Group, someone in the Gu Group will definitely know what happened at the Minglou Group on Friday.

Jiang Xing looked at them and said with a smile, "Didn't you guess it already?"

Everyone:

"Fuck!"

"Wow!"
