Chapter 122 No wonder he wouldn't open his mouth earlier.
Lin Xi's toothpaste had a strong fruity flavor. After the kiss ended, Duan Yiheng chuckled, "It really is sweet."
Lin Xi punched his chest: "Unlike you, everything is bitter."
"No wonder you wouldn't open your mouth earlier." Duan Yiheng pinched her earlobe, causing Lin Xi's cheeks to flush red.
He used to be a very aloof and taciturn person, but now he makes people blush with his words.
Duan Yiheng glanced away and said to Lin Xi, "I have to go out with Qin Yang today. The afternoon meeting will be postponed by half an hour. If anyone from the technical department contacts me, have them compile the detailed questions and send them to my email. I will read them and give them feedback directly."
Lin Xi replied, "Okay."
After finishing their meal, the two cars exited through the west gate one after the other, and Duan Yiheng's car turned right at the first intersection.
Upon arriving at the company, Lin Xi sent a message to the relevant departments informing them that the meeting had been postponed.
Just as I was about to get up to get a cup of hot water, a familiar figure flashed before my eyes.
Lin Xi immediately stood up to stop him: "President Duan isn't here. What do you need me for?"
Chen Jingyi paused, then handed her the document: "Strategic plan for business expansion in the business department for the next year."
Lin Xi nodded calmly: "Understood."
Chen Jingyi smiled.
Seeing that she hadn't left, Lin Xi asked, "Is there anything else?"
Chen Jingyi looked her up and down and said, "Why would a rich young lady like you stay at home and come to the company to work like us like a beast of burden?"
Lin Xi frowned: "I have no obligation to answer your question. Please leave."
Chen Jingyi: "You're quite shrewd. You got the secretary position because of Young Master Duan, right?"
Lin Xi was taken aback: "You investigated me?"
Chen Jingyi shrugged: "I just happened to see you with him. Does President Duan know about your relationship?"
Lin Xi gave a sarcastic smile: "What's my relationship with him? Do you know?"
Chen Jingyi: "If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. I don't know about your relationship with Duan Mingxuan, but I do know that he has a girlfriend."
Lin Xi said "Oh": "So many years have passed, is it meaningful for you to keep harping on me? Now you stand in front of me, looking radiant, but you still can't get rid of your inferiority complex?"
Chen Jingyi's face darkened for a moment: "You're just lucky to have been adopted by a rich family."
Lin Xi thought of her deceased parents and chuckled. She would rather not have had that luck.
She raised her eyes and said to Chen Liangyi, "The root cause of your hatred for me is nothing more than a crush you had during your adolescence."
"You like the gentle class monitor, but the class monitor passionately confesses his feelings to me. The seeds of hatred begin to sprout, and you water them with inferiority and jealousy."
"So many years have passed, and this seed has blossomed into a huge flower in your heart. When you meet me again, the first thing you want to do is devour me."
“Chen Jingyi, you are powerless to resist your family of origin and blame everything on me. Your life is truly pathetic, pitiful and hateful.”
"Shut up." Chen Jingyi's expression changed drastically.
Lin Xi made a "please" gesture: "If you don't leave now, I'll call security."
Chen Jingyi, constrained by her current position and status, went downstairs with a sense of resentment.
After she left, Lin Xi rubbed her temples. What an exhausting argument!
Sun Wenxin invited her to lunch at noon, but Lin Xi was too lazy to go downstairs, so she politely declined.
She was a little worried about Duan Yiheng.
She used to be able to communicate with Qin Yang, but ever since he saw her kissing Duan Yiheng in the office, she tries to avoid running into him at work.
Duan Yiheng returned to the company ten minutes before the afternoon meeting.
Lin Xi followed him into the office with the meeting materials and noticed that he didn't look well.
"What's wrong? Is something not going well?"
Although she didn't know who he went to see, she knew it must be someone related to Zheng Jizhong.
Duan Yiheng paused, then suddenly turned around and said, "I received some unexpected news from a shareholder this morning, but I can't tell you right now. I'll verify it after the meeting."
Lin Xi, afraid of bothering him by asking more questions, replied, "Then let's start the meeting."
Duan Yiheng gave a low "hmm".
Throughout the meeting, Duan Yiheng's mood was very low, and the senior officials looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with him.
Duan Yiheng glanced at Zheng Jizhong out of the corner of his eye; the other man was smiling smugly.
He couldn't understand how Zheng Jizhong had the audacity to approach the old man, and why the old man would protect him.
He single-handedly built Yinfan Technology into a large and powerful company, and his grandfather never interfered with its affairs.
Why did you help Zheng Jizhong this time?
There must be something hidden in this.
Even if Qin Yang investigates further, he won't find anything involving the old man.
The meeting didn't end until dusk.
When Lin Xi was packing up to leave work, she saw Duan Yiheng lying on the sofa through the glass, seemingly asleep.
She thought for a moment, then turned and left the secretary's office.
Even Qin Yang had already left work by now. Afraid of waking him by knocking, Lin Xi hesitated for a moment before pushing open the door to the president's office, trying to keep her footsteps as quiet as possible.
Lin Xi went to the lounge to get a light blanket, walked around the end of the sofa, and stood in front of Duan Yiheng.
Just as the black and white blanket was about to fall on him, Lin Xi felt a tightness around her waist and fell onto Duan Yiheng.
"You're not asleep?" Lin Xi asked, her big eyes wide open.
Duan Yiheng sat up straighter and said, "Close your eyes and rest, think about some things."
Lin Xi reached out and loosened his tie, asking, "Are you hungry? Shall I order you something to eat?"
Duan Yiheng gazed into the distance, tilted his head back, and said to Lin Xi, "Give me a kiss."
Every kiss was initiated by Duan Yiheng. Lin Xi wasn't very good at kissing, so she could only lower her head and press her lips to his.
Duan Yiheng pinched Lin Xi's slender waist, and Lin Xi groaned as she opened her mouth.
Cool and warm fragrances collide and interact under the scorching heat.
Lin Xi's body went limp, and she straddled Duan Yiheng's lap firmly.
In the dim light, Duan Yiheng chuckled softly, his kiss deepening and becoming more tender and lingering.
The phone suddenly rang. Lin Xi shrugged to avoid his kiss and gestured for him to answer the phone.
Duan Yiheng patted the back of her neck reassuringly, loosened his lips, but did not release her waist.
With Lin Xi nestled against his chest, Duan Yiheng finally reached for his phone.
Upon seeing the incoming call, Duan Yiheng's gaze darkened slightly. It was Uncle Deng, who was by the old man's side.
Duan Yiheng answered the phone, only uttering a single "hmm" throughout.
His aura changed instantly, and Lin Xi raised her eyes: "Who is it?"
Duan Yiheng smiled and said, "It's just a phone call from home. Nothing's wrong, I'll go have dinner with you first."
Lin Xi got up from his embrace: "Then let's go quickly."
Duan Yiheng stood up and put his arm around her waist. Lin Xi struggled a little and said, "There are still people who haven't gotten off work yet."
"We're right at the office door," Duan Yiheng said softly.
Lin Xi, feeling soft-hearted, agreed.
The two grabbed a quick bite outside and arrived home at just past nine o'clock.
Duan Yiheng didn't even change his clothes before taking Lin Xi to her room and then turning to go to the North Courtyard.
Uncle Deng had been waiting at the door. When he saw Duan Yiheng, he respectfully stepped aside and invited him upstairs.
