Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 240 Dr. Jiang, you will pay the price for using me.

It's a common story that men get drunk and then engage in promiscuous behavior.

Jiang Xing originally thought that something was bound to happen between her and Lou Qi, and she had already prepared for this when she went to the bar to look for him.

However, the drunk Lou Qi dragged her home without hesitation and threw her onto the bed.

Lou Qi simply kissed her tenderly, again and again. His large hands, heated by the alcohol, roamed over her body, his gentle and tender manner as if he were caressing a fragile treasure. In the end, Lou Qi held her tightly in his arms, but he didn't go all the way.

The man's breathing gradually became long and steady.

He fell asleep.

Jiang Xing looked at the handsome face so close to his, unable to understand why he hadn't done anything.

Science has proven that men cannot get an erection when they are truly drunk. However, Jiang Xing could clearly feel the foreign object pressing against his thigh.

The shocking feel of the material sent chills down Jiang Xing's spine.

Lou Qi's incomprehensible behavior made Jiang Xing even more uneasy.

She had initially thought Lou Qi's feelings for her were merely a passing fancy, and that his unrequited love only fueled his obsession. But now, with her offering herself to him, she had the unsettling feeling that he was treating her with genuine affection. This realization filled Jiang Xing with guilt and remorse, and she refused to believe it—

Because her motives and purposes were impure.

Lou Qi slept soundly, but Jiang Xing didn't sleep a wink all night because a man she didn't know well was holding her tightly and pressing against her.

Jiang Xing barely managed to fall asleep just before dawn.

Lou Qi opened his eyes and saw the woman in his arms. His first reaction was that he was still dreaming, so he kissed her cheek as he felt it.

The next second, memories of last night flooded back like a tidal wave.

Lou Qi stood frozen in place, his gaze involuntarily moving from Jiang Xing's face to her red lips, his mouth watering as he uncontrollably savored the sweetness he had tasted the night before.

Perhaps because his embrace loosened a bit, Jiang Xing stirred, and Lou Qi was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, and he dared not move.

Lou Qi breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Xing fell into a deep sleep again and remained still, confirming that she had adjusted her sleeping position and had not woken up.

A thought crossed his mind. He carefully got out of bed, took out some of the finest calming incense, and lit it in the room.

The person on the bed gradually fell into a deep sleep, breathing evenly and deeply, and Lou Qi finally relaxed from his stiff and still position.

He wanted to sit on the edge of the bed, but as soon as he sat down, the mattress would sag towards him, posing a risk of waking the person on the bed.

Lou Qi, settling for second best, sat on the sofa and quietly stared at Jiang Xing, who was sleeping under the sleeping incense, for the entire day. During this time, his secretary called to ask why Lou Qi hadn't been to the company, and Lou Qi simply replied that he had something to do that day.

I'm not going to work.

When Jiang woke up, it was already late afternoon. The long, inexplicable sleep had left her usually clear-headed mind somewhat sluggish.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, then suddenly seemed to sense something. She turned to her left and, without warning, met a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes!

But those peach blossom eyes no longer held the captivating charm, but rather a bottomless darkness.

The man sat there with an air of authority, like a statue. But as soon as Jiang Xing propped himself up on the bed, he seemed to come alive, leaning back on the sofa and transforming back into that lazy, charming, and aristocratic young master.

Jiang Xing glanced at the sunlight outside and was startled.

She came looking for Lou Qi at night, and now it's already daylight, and judging from the intensity and direction of the sunlight, it's already afternoon!

She slept all day?

"How could I have slept for so long? I've never slept this long since I woke up. Where's my phone?" Jiang Xing wanted to check the time to confirm, but he couldn't find his phone.

Lou Qi didn't speak, but took out a white phone from his side and showed it to Jiang Xing, without intending to give it to him.

"Ying Kaian asked around today to find out if you were with me yesterday," Lou Qi replied, seemingly unrelated to the question, looking at Jiang Xing with amusement.

really!

Ying Kaian was a cautious and suspicious person, so he indeed went to inquire about her whereabouts yesterday!

Fortunately, she went to find Lou Qi in time. So many people saw her and Lou Qi together, and with the montage effect, her lie would not have any flaws.

Lou Qi sneered: "Jiang Xing, do you think I, Lou Qi, am someone who can be easily manipulated?"

Both are intelligent people, and they can tell each other's intentions without saying anything directly—Jiang Xing is using Lou Qi to deal with Ying Kaian, and Lou Qi has also seen through Jiang Xing's manipulation.

Jiang Xing didn't say anything. He got up from the bed, straightened his clothes, and planned to leave after taking his phone.

Unexpectedly, the moment her hand touched the phone, Lou Qi grabbed her waist and pushed her onto the bed.

"Jiang Xing, what were you doing at the bar last night? Hmm? Who were you seeing? A man or a woman?"

"What about men? What about women?"

Lou Qi's expression was gloomy. He grabbed Jiang Xing's chin, leaned closer, and his lips almost touched hers: "Other men are fine, but not me, is that right?"

Wen Yan called at that moment.

Jiang Xing recognized Wen Yan on the other end of the phone, but remained silent.

The struggle after the phone call ended only made Lou Qi angrier.

Use force?

Although Lou Qi was a womanizer, he never had such despicable thoughts.

"Dr. Jiang, shall I make a call to Ying Kaian?"

"No!" Jiang Xing cried out in alarm. "You can't!"

Lou Qi was very satisfied with her reaction. Recalling the taste of last night, he kissed her lips without restraint.

Not satisfied with just one kiss, he deepened the kiss despite Jiang Xing's struggles.

The woman unconsciously let out a soft moan, which made Lou Qi stiffen and react immediately.

He always followed his own heart and maliciously threatened, "Dr. Jiang, you will pay the price for using me."

As he spoke, he nudged her with his body.

Jiang Xing looked at him expressionlessly, "Lou Qi, is this really meaningful?"

The man's charming eyes revealed pleasure: "Of course!"

He stroked Jiang Xing's cheek and said maliciously, "You didn't want to be with me? Hmm? I want you to lie beneath me!"

Lou Qi was unaware that the uncontrollable longing and infatuation in his eyes were clearly visible to Jiang Xing.
