Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 325 Let's break up, Lou Abandoned

Jiang Xing looked up and met his gaze.

After a long pause, he asked, "What do you think? Who do you think it is?"

The huge living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; the only sounds were the breathing of the two people, and you could even hear their heartbeats.

Lou Qi's feigned ease froze instantly, and the surrounding atmosphere became exceptionally oppressive.

"Jiang Xing, you know I sent people to follow you."

This is not a question, it is a statement.

"Yes." Jiang Xing had known this for a long time; otherwise, Lou Qi wouldn't have been able to appear immediately as soon as she had any contact with Ying Kaian.

Jiang Xing looked away, which made Lou Qi's anger flare up instantly.

He grabbed Jiang Xing's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye, his voice laced with gritted teeth as he said, "Then tell my mom that you never intended to be with me until the end—"

He paused, took a shallow breath, as if mentally preparing himself: "Was it a lie to her, or a lie to me?"

The man's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly, which made Jiang Xing feel a little sorry for him.

"Lou Qi, we agreed from the beginning that we would end things when you got tired of me."

What if I never tire of you for the rest of my life?

Even if the other party tried their best, Lou Qi's interest in those women would not last more than half a month. In fact, from the very beginning, he was only with those women because they either schemed or deliberately seduced him.

But Jiang Xing is different.

He fell head over heels for Jiang Xing at first sight, as if under a spell. He took the initiative to approach her, hoping that spending time with her would temper his uncontrollable passion. However, the uncontrollable affection only intensified with each passing day, leaving him hopelessly addicted.

So much so that even though he knew she had no feelings for him, he would still do everything he could to keep her by his side.

Even though he knew she was only compromising for him, he was still heartbroken when he learned that she didn't want to marry him.

Even after that, he continued to deceive himself, clinging to the hope that her statement of "not wanting to get married" was not from her true heart, and questioned her again and again.

“Lou Qi…” Jiang Xing wanted to get off his lap; this position was really not suitable for conversation.

"Don't move!" The man pressed down on her waist. "Just like that!"

Jiang Xing pursed her lips.

Lou Qi tried to appear more amiable: "Jiang Xing, my mother came to see you today. It's my fault; I didn't manage my family well. As long as you nod your head, I can handle things at home. If you think I'm lying, we can get our marriage certificate tomorrow! Just nod your head now!"

Jiang Xing shook his head without hesitation.

Seeing Lou Qi staring at him with dark, intense eyes that seemed to spit fire, Jiang Xing added more clearly, "I'm sorry, Lou Qi."

The next moment, Jiang Xing felt a force pushing her up.

Lou Qi stood up, pacing back and forth angrily. His extreme anger was tempered by a cold calm: "If you don't love me, why do you still say you won't break up?"

Jiang Xing's eyelashes trembled slightly.

She also felt that her words were incredibly vulgar.

This shouldn't be the case.

If her relationship with Lou Qi is no longer simply one of mutual exploitation and self-interest, then it should end.

"Then let's break up, Lou Qi."

The air seemed to freeze once again.

Lou Qi's expression changed repeatedly. He strode into the bedroom and took out the diamond ring that he had deliberately placed on the bedside table but which Jiang Xing had intentionally ignored.

"No marriage? Fine!" He blocked Jiang Xing's face and threw the ring out the window. "But breaking up? Don't even think about it!"
