Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 163 Do you expect the boss to give you a loving kiss?

The rain and wind were fierce, making quite a commotion, but Duan Yiheng's voice was still audible.

Lin Xi trembled involuntarily as Duan Yiheng hugged her even tighter.

"Five more minutes." Duan Yiheng pleaded, completely surrendering. "Just five minutes of hugging. I haven't hugged you in so long."

His arms tightened, leaving no gap between them.

When the storms pass, we always find each other in each other's embrace.

Lin Xi was firmly held in place, unable to move an inch. Her eyes, like the glass outside the window, were misty and fogged up.

Five minutes can feel both long and short.

Lin Xi patted his hand, suppressing the lump in her throat: "It's time."

Duan Yiheng kept his word and let go of her hand to help her up.

On the bedside table were the documents she needed to check. Lin Xi was about to grab them and leave when Duan Yiheng stopped her, saying, "Your clothes are wrinkled, go and straighten them."

Lin Xi responded and went into the bathroom.

After tidying her clothes and hair, she picked up the documents and said, "I'm going to work now."

Duan Yiheng rubbed his temples: "Read it once yourself, and be careful."

Lin Xi was taken aback. His tone... Could there be a problem with the data in this document that needs to be checked?

She dared not take it lightly; this was the main task she did that afternoon. Duan Yiheng had personally reviewed everything, and if there were any errors when she confirmed them with him, it would be a dereliction of duty.

Since he didn't say anything, he must be testing her.

Lin Xi took the documents back to the secretary's office.

From 2 PM to 4 PM, my neck and arms were sore, but I didn't find any problems.

She couldn't help but wonder if she had misunderstood.

Lin Xi rested for a while, made herself a cup of coffee, ate two biscuits, and then started checking again.

The payment system integrates with multiple external systems, resulting in numerous interface parameters. Although Lin Xi did not have a computer science background, she studied finance and naturally had a deep understanding of the process rules of payment business.

Even so, throughout the verification process, she still had to communicate with the technical team from time to time about some uncertainties to ensure that the parameters were correct.

The rain continued to fall outside the window until around five o'clock, when Lin Xi suddenly paused.

Although it was her first time working on the project, she had a certain sensitivity to things related to her major.

"The values ​​are incorrect." Lin Xi said with a slight frown, then turned on his computer and pulled up data reports of multiple payment business cases within the company.

During a previous project meeting, the technical team mentioned the update status of the payment system parameters. Lin Xi checked the meeting minutes and discovered the problem.

This parameter table is an outdated version.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and sneered. So this was what was waiting for her.

She called Xiao Zhou from the project's technical team, and Lin Xi recorded the conversation.

While catching her breath, Lin Xi's phone started vibrating wildly.

One WeChat message after another appeared. Lin Xi picked it up and saw that it was pictures and videos sent to her by Sun Wenxin.

At the park's main entrance, Duan Mingxuan drove a red Ferrari, exuding arrogance.

In less than half an hour, everyone in the company, whether they were working overtime or not, knew that Lin Xi's fiancé had come to pick her up.

Hearing Sun Wenxin praising Duan Mingxuan's good looks, Lin Xi laughed.

After calming herself down, she sent Sun Wenxin a voice message: "I have nothing to do with him. Those news reports are all fake. Don't pay any attention to him."

Sun Wenxin was taken aback: "Then...you're not going to come down and see him?"

"I still have a ton of work to do," Lin Xi said. "I have to work overtime."

Sun Wenxin: "What if he keeps blocking the way downstairs?"

Lin Xi chuckled: "Don't worry, he's not very patient, he won't last more than two hours. He can stay as long as he wants, as long as he doesn't bother others. If he does bother others, there will be security."

Sun Wenxin: "..."

Damn it, where do all those rumors on the internet come from?

Is this cold attitude directed at a fiancé? More like an enemy.

After ending the chat, Lin Xi, undisturbed by Duan Mingxuan, checked the remaining parameters in one go.

I looked up and it was already seven o'clock.

She touched her stomach and belatedly realized that she hadn't eaten yet, but she wasn't hungry at all.

Duan Yiheng's car turned onto Taihe Road, and five minutes later, he saw Duan Mingxuan's car at the company entrance.

Knowing that the other party wouldn't let him in, Duan Mingxuan didn't want to make a fool of himself.

He also told the security guards who he was, but they refused him because the park was a research and development area.

The two brothers passed each other as if they didn't know each other.

Duan Yiheng went upstairs, and Lin Xi saw him and subconsciously asked, "Has Duan Mingxuan left?"

Duan Yiheng stopped and said, "Not yet."

"That's strange," Lin Xi muttered. "He didn't call me once, and he was extremely patient."

Duan Yiheng pursed his lips and asked, "Have you finished your work? Show it to me when you're done."

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Now?"

Duan Yiheng hummed in agreement: "I'll be working overtime tonight."

Lin Xi was overjoyed and took the verified technical solution into his office.

That's when she noticed the dessert he was carrying.

Duan Yiheng placed the dessert on the table, took the plan she had checked, and said, "I just happened to pass by a French pastry shop and picked it up. You can have it first."

"Isn't that a bad idea?" Lin Xi hesitated.

“It’s nothing,” Duan Yiheng said. “It’s just overtime pay.”

Lin Xi subconsciously replied, "Overtime pay is just a slice of Mont Blanc chestnut cake?"

Duan Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "Do you expect the boss to give you an encouraging hug and a loving kiss?"

Lin Xi: "...Pretend I didn't say anything."

Duan Yiheng chuckled: "If you're willing, I'll sacrifice myself for you."

Lin Xi retorted, "You went out for an afternoon to learn the art of speaking?"

"No," Duan Yiheng said seriously. "I went to catch them cheating, but I didn't succeed."

Lin Xi stared in astonishment: "Caught in the act?"

She even doubted whether those two words actually came from Duan Yiheng's mouth.

"Just kidding, go ahead and eat yours." Duan Yiheng pushed the dessert towards her. "Don't you like this?"

Lin Xi resisted the temptation and said, "You look at it first, I can't finish it later."

Duan Yiheng chuckled enigmatically, "You can't finish such a small piece? You want to share it with me?"

Lin Xi, having her thoughts exposed, immediately opened the dessert box and took a bite.

He didn't even use a fork, just took a bite straight up, which stunned Duan Yiheng.

The cake had a layer of delicate cream on the outside, which got stuck all over her mouth.

Duan Yiheng laughed out loud, raised his hand to wipe off a large piece, and casually put it into his mouth.

The creamy filling melted in his mouth, and he commented, "It's quite sweet."

Lin Xi was about to leave with the cake in her hands, her face flushed. Duan Yiheng said quietly, "So you also discovered that one of the parameter tables is an outdated version?"

Lin Xi could only turn around and sit down: "You already found out?"

Duan Yiheng nodded: "When I saw it, I felt that it didn't match the data in my memory. I checked the cloud archive and found that it was the old version."

Lin Xi hummed in agreement: "I also called the technical team, and they confirmed that they provided the new version. If I hadn't noticed and used the wrong data in the meeting with GKD, I'm afraid Xu Yu would have blamed me personally to protect the company's reputation."

Duan Yiheng smiled and said, "Alright, we'll talk about this in the meeting tomorrow. Now... can I have some of your dessert?"
