Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 193 Let me smell if it's been marinated.

The following morning, Lin Xi contacted Tan Qi's assistant, who did not agree immediately but replied in the afternoon that she would be available from 7 pm to 9 pm two days later.

Lin Xi told Duan Yiheng that he had canceled a social engagement to go meet Tan Qi.

Tan Qi initially thought Duan Yiheng had invited her to discuss a project, but she was surprised to learn that her friend had arrived.

Tan Qi replied coldly, "You don't actually like my friend, do you?"

Duan Yiheng was shocked: "What are you thinking?"

Tan Qi: "Then why are you asking Xu Minghui? Shouldn't you be talking to me about the collaborative project today?"

Duan Yiheng: "To be honest, this matter is inseparable from your friend. Her sister-in-law is the board secretary of Yinfan. Duan Zheng colluded with her."

Duan Yiheng still gave Duan Zheng some face.

Tan Qi frowned. She naturally knew about the Zheng family's affairs. Although Duan Yiheng didn't say it explicitly, she could guess it immediately: "They're having an affair?"

Duan Yiheng: "Have your friend tell her mother that I am willing to cooperate with them."

Tan Qi: "They've used me as a tool."

Duan Yiheng raised his glass to her: "We've known each other for a while now, and we'll soon be working together. I'm sure Miss Tan won't refuse."

"Okay." Tan Qi got up to leave. "I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Duan Yiheng was somewhat puzzled that Tan Qi hadn't mentioned the project.

It should be noted that only Yin Fan meets Li Kang's requirements.

“Oh, right,” Tan Qi returned, “two days later, at the same restaurant, at the same time, bring your secretary with you.”

Duan Yiheng was satisfied, mistakenly taking it as a signal of cooperation.

That evening, in the CEO's office, Lin Xi asked Duan Yiheng, "Should I go too?"

Duan Yiheng: "Since you were specifically asked to go, of course you have to go."

“Okay.” Lin Xi said, “Then I will draft a preliminary letter of intent for cooperation.”

Duan Yiheng nodded: "We really have to work overtime tonight. You go ahead and write it, and I'll give you feedback later. I'll have a video conference with Qin Yang first."

Lin Xi responded and turned to leave the president's office.

The main departments of Yinfan Technology were all working overtime due to various projects. When Lin Xi came out of the office building at ten o'clock, most of the lights in the building were still on.

Duan Yiheng grabbed Lin Xi's wrist: "Get in my car, I'll take you home."

Lin Xi: "Then what am I going to do tomorrow morning? Never mind, I'll drive myself."

Duan Yiheng said, "Let the driver drive your car, and you ride in mine."

Before Lin Xi could even process what was happening, Duan Yiheng shoved her into the passenger seat.

Whenever he worked overtime, Duan Yiheng would always drive her home.

The Imperial Seal of the Capital was so close that Lin Xi felt it wasn't necessary to give it to her.

After getting out of the car, Lin Xi waved to Duan Yiheng: "Be careful on your way back."

Duan Yiheng smiled and said, "I'll just stay in my office for the night."

Lin Xi was taken aback: "You still have to go back to work overtime?"

Duan Yiheng shook his head: "I'm too lazy to go back. The villa is a bit far, and I'm a little tired today."

Lin Xi said "Oh," and seeing his car start again, she suddenly stepped forward and stopped it.

Duan Yiheng rolled down the car window: "What's wrong? Did you forget something?"

Lin Xi pursed her lips: "How about... you come up with me?"

She knew the lounge had everything, but she felt sorry for Duan Yiheng because he said he was tired and was running around.

Duan Yiheng was surprised for a moment: "Really?"

Lin Xi nodded: "Let's go. Go to the company early tomorrow morning. Just change your clothes in the break room."

Duan Yiheng laughed and said, "Then what am I going to do tonight?"

Lin Xi said, "The area around Tiandu Yuxi is full of luxury stores. Tell me your size and I'll have the butler buy you some emergency supplies."

Duan Yiheng was successfully persuaded, turned off the engine, and followed Lin Xi upstairs.

He told his personal butler his request, and he immediately took care of it.

Lin Xi said to Duan Yiheng, "Then wait a moment, I'm going to take a shower."

Duan Yiheng hooked his arm around her waist and stole a lingering, passionate kiss.

Lin Xi's face was already red from the smoke before she even took a bath.

The butler was very efficient and delivered the things Duan Yiheng needed.

He plugged his phone in and then came out of the bathroom.

Duan Yiheng beckoned to her, and as she approached, he gently and affectionately stroked her long hair, saying:

"At this moment, I suddenly felt that you truly belong to me."

Lin Xi didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"

Duan Yiheng grasped her shoulders, his fingertips brushing against her skin, and whispered:

“When you saw me before, you were usually dressed properly. Even when you were at home in your pajamas, you would wear a coat. At this moment, I can touch you and kiss you.”

Lin Xi shrugged: "I wasn't familiar with you before, so naturally I wasn't used to seeing you in my pajamas."

"Are you familiar with each other now?" Duan Yiheng chuckled.

Lin Xi: "...Go take a shower."

Nonsense, we've already had in-depth conversations, what do you want if we're not familiar with each other?

Duan Yiheng's shower time was much shorter than Lin Xi's; Lin Xi was still doing her skincare routine when he came out.

Duan Yiheng was also stunned, thinking that he was applying these bottles and jars before taking a shower, and he was still applying them after taking a shower.

He fully respected everything about Lin Xi, took the phone and glanced at it twice, then kept staring at her.

Lin Xi finally finished her work, turned around, and was startled: "Why are you staring at me?"

Duan Yiheng: "Come here, I'll talk to you."

Lin Xi obediently walked over.

Duan Yiheng reached out, pulled her onto the bed, rolled over and pinned her down, laughing, "Let me smell if she's been marinated."

Lin Xi laughed and dodged him: "Are you crazy... haha, it tickles..."

Duan Yiheng kissed her neck and cheeks many times before stopping, and Lin Xi's hair was all messed up.

She threw back the covers and snuggled into Duan Yiheng's arms, saying, "Let me fix my hair."

Duan Yiheng obediently smoothed her long hair strand by strand, letting it lie neatly on the bed sheet.

Lin Xi nuzzled against Duan Yiheng's chest, wishing that it could be like this every day.

Duan Yiheng seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "After the share transfer, we will make it public. I will handle things with Grandpa."

Grandma's actions were already a signal, and Grandpa couldn't possibly not understand what she meant.

Uncle Deng knows about Duan Zheng and Ke Yu's affair, and he won't keep it from the old man forever.

The Duan family was small to begin with, and apart from Duan Yiheng, the old man could not rely on anyone else.

Lin Xi whispered, "I'm sleepy."

Duan Yiheng kissed her forehead: "Go to sleep."

Being with Duan Yiheng makes even my dreams sweet.

The next morning, Duan Yiheng went to the company. He changed his clothes in the lounge, and no one knew that he had slept at his secretary's house the night before.

On the day they had arranged to meet Tan Qi, Lin Xi and Duan Yiheng arrived at the restaurant first to show their sincerity.

Seeing the two of them holding documents, Tan Qi suddenly laughed: "You two are here to discuss the project?"

His tone conveyed a sense of satisfaction at having gotten revenge.

Duan Yiheng raised his eyes slightly: "It depends on what you mean."

Tan Qi snorted, then turned to look at Lin Xi, her expression somewhat uneasy.

Lin Xi and Duan Yiheng exchanged a glance, and Lin Xi asked her, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Tan Qi: "...I don't know how to bring it up, it's hard to say."

Lin Xi: "..."

What exactly happened? It's hard to say.
