Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 132 What makes you think you can like her?

Duan Mingxuan had a short temper, and as soon as he got close, his fist, accompanied by a biting cold wind, came crashing down.

Lin Xi stared in astonishment, her body instinctively reaching out to shield Duan Yiheng.

Duan Yiheng reacted quickly, grabbing her shoulder and turning her around, but before he could retaliate against Duan Mingxuan, he was punched hard in the left cheekbone.

Duan Yiheng and Lin Xi bumped into each other and staggered back a few steps.

Ignoring the pain in her head from the bump, Lin Xi's gaze fell on Duan Yiheng's bleeding cheekbone, and she turned and shoved Duan Mingxuan.

"Are you sick in the head? Why are you hitting people right away?"

Ignoring his own injury, Duan Yiheng pulled Lin Xi back, asking, "Does your head hurt?"

Lin Xi shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

The heavy snowfall could not extinguish Duan Mingxuan's anger.

He pulled the two apart, pointed at Duan Yiheng, and shouted at Lin Xi, "Why can't I hit him? He's the one who kissed you against your will."

He has been waiting here in his car for three hours.

I never expected to see this scene. At that moment, overwhelming anger and panic swept over me.

Although he didn't hear what they said, he could see that Lin Xi was clearly resisting him.

Duan Yiheng stepped forward and gently pushed Lin Xi away. He looked directly at Duan Mingxuan and said, "It's none of your business what I do with Lin Xi."

Duan Mingxuan grabbed Duan Yiheng by the collar: "You forced her, didn't you? Coming to the manor was also a problem, wasn't it? Your butler must know I've been here, but you wouldn't let me in."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. Duan Mingxuan had been to the manor?

But Duan Yiheng didn't tell her.

But that's not important. She just didn't expect Duan Mingxuan to be lying in wait outside.

Duan Yiheng sneered: "So you'd let you go in and see us whispering sweet nothings and sharing a bed?"

Lin Xi gasped: "Duan Yiheng."

"You son of a bitch..." Duan Mingxuan's eyes flashed with anger as he swung his fist fiercely at Duan Yiheng.

Duan Yiheng's words formed a concrete image in his mind, and he seemed to see the two of them embracing intimately.

Jealousy and resentment filled Duan Mingxuan's heart, and his fists showed no mercy.

Duan Yiheng was no pushover either. He leaned back and swiftly intercepted Duan Mingxuan's wrist, kicking him in the stomach: "You think you're worthy of liking her?"

Duan Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly scrambled up from the snow like an enraged wild beast.

Knowing he couldn't win, he still clenched his fists and charged forward.

Duan Yiheng was also in a bad mood, so he abandoned all fighting techniques and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Duan Mingxuan.

From the force of their punches, which seemed to want to kill each other, Lin Xi knew she couldn't stop them, so she turned and ran back.

A short while later, she arrived with several security personnel.

"Separate them."

One of them was his boss, and the security guards hesitated somewhat regarding Lin Xi's orders.

However, they could not ignore the injury on Duan Yiheng's face.

Just as he was about to step forward, Duan Yiheng turned around and scolded, "Get back inside."

He was usually composed and self-controlled, unlike Duan Mingxuan who acted on impulse. At this moment, he only wanted to follow his heart.

Duan Yiheng's tone left no room for argument, and the group dared not move again, only shaking their heads at Lin Xi.

Seizing the opportunity, Duan Mingxuan slammed his fist into Duan Yiheng's lip, breaking it open: "If I'm not worthy, do you?"

"At the very least, Xiaoxi and I grew up together and have a friendship that spans over a decade. What do you have with her?"

"What makes you think you can like her?"

Lin Xi was startled and, disregarding her own safety, tried to step forward to stop them, but was held back tightly by two security personnel.

"Let me go, let me go!" Lin Xi exhaled pure white breath as she struggled to move forward.

"Keep a close eye on her." Duan Yiheng turned to the security guard, wiping the blood from his lips.

"Duan Yiheng," Lin Xi called his name, her eyes pleading, "Please stop hitting me, okay?"

Duan Yiheng turned his head to look at her, his eyes still gentle: "Not calling me Big Brother anymore? It's just a title, you can call me that if you want."

She knew Lin Xi was doing it on purpose, deliberately reminding him to keep his distance from her.

Duan Yiheng turned around, grabbed Duan Mingxuan's wrist with his other hand, and twisted it hard, causing Duan Mingxuan to cry out in pain.

"More than a decade of affection? Every single thing you did was like stabbing her in the heart?"

"You never understand what she wants, you just want to hold her in your palm and keep her under your nose like a doll."

"They kept saying they loved and protected her, yet they let her be bullied by Chen Baiwei time and time again."

"Just because Chen Baiwei is your mother, you expect Lin Xi to tolerate that?"

"After seeing the truth behind her going to America, he broke up with his girlfriend right away. What? Now you know how you feel?"

Don't you even know what kind of person you are?

Duan Mingxuan hunched over slightly, his neck bulging, and he rammed into Duan Yiheng, causing both of them to fall to the ground.

Fists swung wildly, striking the two men with dull thuds.

“I’m not like you,” Duan Mingxuan said through gritted teeth, “I’ve kept my filthy thoughts hidden for so long.”

“I’ve never been able to beat you since I was a child. This time, I will absolutely not give Xiao Xi to you.”

"So what if you like her? You're destined not to have her."

These words clearly provoked Duan Yiheng, who suddenly threw two punches at Duan Mingxuan.

Duan Mingxuan's eyes immediately swelled up to half their height.

Duan Yiheng was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently. He loosened his grip on Duan Mingxuan's collar and stood up.

"She has never been something you and I are fighting over, Duan Mingxuan. She is a person. You still don't understand how to love her, so you will always be the one who can't have her."

Duan Mingxuan got up from the snow, his eyes filled with undisguised resentment.

Duan Yiheng gave a wink to the security personnel, and two of them immediately stepped forward to stop Duan Mingxuan.

Duan Yiheng approached Lin Xi, and the two security guards instinctively released her.

Lin Xi's tears fell silently; every word Duan Yiheng said was deeply engraved in her heart.

She wanted to raise her hand to touch his wound, but then felt she had no right to do so, and slowly lowered her hand.

She no longer has the right to ask even a simple "Does it hurt?"

Duan Yiheng raised his hand to wipe away her tears without saying anything.

Lin Xi lowered her head and tried to dodge, but couldn't escape.

Duan Mingxuan's eyes narrowed. Even though the two of them hadn't said a word, the ambiguous and silent atmosphere was so intense that no one could break in.

"Xiao Xi," Duan Mingxuan interrupted, his voice like that of a despicable thief, "come back with me."

Lin Xi subconsciously looked at Duan Yiheng and said, "The wind and snow are heavy on the road. Go back and have someone apply some medicine for you. I'll take Duan Mingxuan to the hospital."

Judging from appearances alone, Duan Mingxuan was indeed more disheveled.

Upon hearing this, Duan Mingxuan was overjoyed. He pushed aside the person blocking his way and walked up to Lin Xi: "Let's go, the snow is getting heavier."

Lin Xi nodded, her eyes fixed on Duan Yiheng out of the corner of her eye.

Even after getting into Duan Mingxuan's car, Duan Yiheng was still standing in the snow.

Lin Xi clenched her fist tightly, forcing herself to look away.
