Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 196 His wife is sentimental and soft-hearted.

“Miss Jiang, I am a businessman, but with your current net worth and status, you are not good enough to do business with me.” Gu Yanci spread his hands casually.

He maintained his gentlemanly and approachable demeanor on the surface, but his eyes were extremely indifferent, as if devoid of emotion.

Jiang Xing immediately realized that Gu Yanci's deliberate mention of Lou Qi was not some nonsense about giving his brother a chance, but a warning to her!

Warn her not to try to threaten him with Wen Yan!

"Young Master Lou~ Please give me another chance, okay? If there's anything I did wrong, I'll change it~" The hostess walked over again, her address sounding convoluted and affected, so sickeningly sweet.

Jiang Xing glanced at the female hostess subconsciously, but his eyes showed no disdain. Instead, he frowned when his gaze shifted to Lou Qi.

Dislike it.

She made no attempt to hide her disdain for men.

Ying Kaian is no good, but he didn't slander Lou Qi either; he's just a playboy!

Lou Qi subconsciously felt embarrassed as if he had been caught doing something wrong. He looked at Jiang Xing expressionlessly, his eyes filled with indifference.

The hostess continued, "Upstairs—"

"Shut up."

Lou Qi's voice wasn't fierce, but the way he casually glanced at the hostesses sent a chill down one's spine.

Jiang Xing pursed his lips, remaining noncommittal about the interaction between Lou Qi and the beautiful woman. He then looked at Gu Yanci again and pleaded, "Mr. Gu, perhaps you can name your terms, I—"

"Not interested." Gu Yanci interrupted Jiang Xing directly.

He genuinely had no interest in meddling in other people's business.

"Hey beautiful, Wen Yan begged Brother Lou more hard than you did back then, this won't do!" a second-generation rich kid joked. "I think you should beg Brother Lou, that might give you a better chance—don't you guys think so?"

The people around laughed and said, "That's right!"

Lou Qi sat down next to Gu Yanci, looking at Jiang Xing with an air of nonchalance, as if he were looking at some interesting toy.

From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Xing was surrounded by mostly good students with similar backgrounds. Before university, he focused on his studies, and during university, he was surrounded by polite members of the opposite sex. He only had brief contact with a few scumbags at business dinners. Lou Qi's unbridled gaze made Jiang Xing feel particularly offended, but he couldn't say anything.

"I'm sorry, I disturbed you!" Jiang Xing bowed to Gu Yanci, turned and left, intending to think of another way.

As soon as Jiang Xing left the private room, Gu Yanci asked Lou Qi, "Is this it?"

His words seemed disjointed, but Lou Qi understood—you're troubled by drinking because of this woman?

Lou Qi pursed his lips, his face expressionless, and remained silent.

That's so damn shameful!

Grass!

"Brother, when did your tastes change?" someone asked Lou Qi curiously, "That one just now looked like a good girl, but don't you like wild girls? Was that one really wild in bed?"

"Shut your stinking mouth," Lou Qi coldly rebuked.

Young master: "..."

What happened to Brother Lou...?

Gu Yanci glanced indifferently at the people around him and asked casually, "Not playing anymore?"

"Play!"

"Let's play! Let's go!"

The group scattered like birds and beasts, their gossip-loving hearts bursting, not daring to stay a second longer.

"You know Jiang Xing too?"

After a few seconds, Lou Qi asked Gu Yanci.

"Hmm," Gu Yanci reminded her, "She and Wen Yan have a good relationship."

If Lou Qi makes a mess of things with Jiang Xing, Wen Yan probably won't stand idly by. His wife is not only sentimental but also soft-hearted. Tsk!
