Even After My Death

Chapter 748: Chapter 643: Little Brother Has Grown Up

Qi Xingzhou isn’t completely clueless.

He was almost in love with Jiang Ning at first sight. Even before he understood that it was affection, his body instinctively gravitated towards Jiang Ning countless times, simply wanting to be close to her.

Later, when he became Jiang Ning’s mission partner, his muddled understanding of the world gradually cleared. The only constant was his growing fondness for Jiang Ning, wanting to stay by her side at all times.

After Jiang Ning finished recording a variety show, she surprised him by inviting him on a trip, which was, in a way, a response to Qi Xingzhou’s previous wish.

After their relationship was confirmed, even though Qi Xingzhou’s body desired Jiang Ning, he restrained himself.

During these three years, their relationship was always at a tentative stage. No matter how intense their emotions were, it was limited to hugs and kisses.

For Qi Xingzhou, the most important thing must be reserved for the most important day.

But last night, he overstepped with Jiang Ning.

Getting closer to Jiang Ning brought undeniable joy and excitement, but the guilt towards her simultaneously took root in his heart.

Although they hadn’t explicitly agreed to save it for their wedding night, Qi Xingzhou had silently made that decision in his heart.

Once he sobered up, he felt like someone who had torn up a promise document.

“Why say sorry?” Jiang Ning’s eyes turned red as she looked at him, who had been both excited and joyful just a moment ago. She felt that Qi Xingzhou’s mood was like the unpredictable weather in June, sunny and gloomy by turns.

She raised her hand to his neck and hugged him, “We’re a couple. Isn’t it normal to do such things? Or do you not want to marry me anymore?”

Honestly, they had been inseparable for three years without anyone else with them.

Jiang Ning had initially thought this kind of thing would happen sooner between them.

There were several times when Qi Xingzhou kissed her that it almost led to something more, and Jiang Ning never resisted.

In her heart, she had long recognized Qi Xingzhou as her only partner.

But surprisingly, Qi Xingzhou held back each time.

Until that time, after he was drugged, instead of seeking Jiang Ning, he purposely avoided her and went to the hospital, and Jiang Ning understood immediately.

He probably wanted to save it for their wedding.

Last night, Jiang Ning was the one who voluntarily walked into the bathroom. She was clear-headed at the time, but Qi Xingzhou was not.

In a way, it seemed she was the one taking advantage of Qi Xingzhou.

She was his first, and Qi Xingzhou was firm.

“Of course not!” Qi Xingzhou quickly refuted. Being able to sleep with Jiang Ning, to do all intimate things, bodies pressed closely together, deeply intertwined—this was something he had longed for immensely, yet didn’t dare act on.

And now, it was all fulfilled.

He had struck it rich; how could he not be willing? He had dreamt of this scene!

Qi Xingzhou held Jiang Ning tightly, rubbing his head against her. All of his aloofness and elegance vanished. He was like a clingy big dog, and even his voice was different, “Ning Ning, how can you be so good to me!”

Jiang Ning let him be. Seeing him happy made her smile too, “Because you’ve been so good to me, and I really like you too.”

In the past, Jiang Ning would never have been able to say such affectionate words.

In the three years of being with Qi Xingzhou, he might not have realized how much he had influenced and changed Jiang Ning, far more than he had imagined.

In the same bed, and with Qi Xingzhou’s rubbing, their bodies inevitably had friction.

Jiang Ning just gave a slight kick, and something seemed to slip past her thigh; before she could react, in the next second, Qi Xingzhou stifled a groan, hugging her tighter.

Jiang Ning looked up and met Qi Xingzhou’s deep, burning eyes.

Qi Xingzhou couldn’t hold back any longer, lowering his head to rest his forehead against hers, his breath a bit ragged, “Ning Ning, can we brush our teeth later?”

…

By the time they actually got out of bed to brush their teeth, an hour had passed.

Jiang Ning wrapped herself in an air conditioner quilt, barely covering her body. Her exposed white neck and arms were all dotted with red marks. Qi Xingzhou followed closely behind her, standing tall and straight, wearing nothing. Overnight, the once modest Young Master Qi, who always covered himself meticulously, had transformed into a completely different person, boldly following Jiang Ning.

His exquisite face was lit up with blatant happiness. He was like an unvalued big tail, sticking close behind Jiang Ning, still wanting to shower with her.

Jiang Ning couldn’t stand him like this, so she closed the door, shutting him outside.

This apartment that Jiang Ning lived in was a single-unit, with only one bathroom left during the renovation.

While Jiang Ning was showering, Qi Xingzhou wasn’t idle. The clothes from yesterday were unwearable, so he casually grabbed a small blanket to wrap around his waist as a bathrobe.

Qi Xingzhou found his phone on the sofa and noticed several missed calls, most prominently from Qi Chen and Ji Shuang.

He first called Qin Feng, asking him to bring over a set of clean clothes, then returned Ji Shuang’s call.

Last night, Ji Shuang had accidentally overheard a conversation between Qi Chen and Qi Jingshan in the living room, learning about the incident with Qi Xingzhou.

She was immediately frightened, quickly calling Qi Xingzhou. Later, learning from Qi Chen that the drug Qi Xingzhou had ingested was actually an aphrodisiac, and that he had gone to Jiang Ning’s place… Ji Shuang was no longer worried. Receiving her younger son’s call now, listening to his energetic voice, she laughed and advised, “Make sure to treat Jiang Ning well in the future.”

“Mm-hmm, I know.” Qi Xingzhou earnestly agreed.

After hanging up, he returned Qi Chen’s call.

Qi Chen, sitting in his spacious, bright office, handling documents, looked at the caller ID on his phone, glanced at the clock, contemplated, and answered the call.

“Brother,” Qi Xingzhou greeted.

Qi Chen asked, “How is your body?”

Qi Xingzhou replied, “I’m fine now.”

Qi Chen’s appearance was deceptive, easily giving those unfamiliar with him an impression of various auras and aloofness. But those who knew him understood he was actually introverted and not talkative.

Knowing his younger brother was physically fine, Qi Chen didn’t dwell on it but instead brought up last night’s incident, “We’ve already reported the one who drugged you.”

After discovering Qi Xingzhou’s identity last night, Tian Liang realized she might have caused big trouble this time.

Qi Xingzhou left the banquet, and Tian Liang quickly fled as well.

However, the Qi family’s response was a step ahead. Upon learning of the incident, Qi Chen reported it and dispatched people to track down Tian Liang, ultimately capturing her at the airport.

Although Tian Liang is only detained at the police station now, the police found many related illegal drugs at her residence last night and uncovered evidence on her computer showing past victims she had drugged and violated.

“The police are already seeking those previous victims, and the Qi Family will provide lawyer teams for them at no charge. This time, she won’t get away easily,” Qi Chen stated over the phone.

With the Qi Family’s Gold Medal Lawyer Team assisting, Tian Liang will likely spend the rest of her life in prison.

“Mm.” Qi Xingzhou’s eyes darkened, “Thanks, brother.”

“No need for thanks among family,” Qi Chen chuckled, then paused before saying, “Treat Jiang Ning well. Don’t bully her.”

“I will.”

After hanging up, for once, Qi Chen didn’t immediately dive back into work.

He turned his gaze outside the window, reminiscing about his younger brother, who used to toddle towards him like a little dough ball but had now grown up without him realizing.
