Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 200 Duan Yiheng didn't expect to be exposed at the last moment, lying in bed

Duan Yiheng didn't expect to be exposed at the last moment, and he lay on the bed letting Lin Xi "pinch" him.

Seeing that he could still laugh, Lin Xi grabbed his ear and shook it.

Duan Yiheng tilted his head back and smiled slightly, his sexy Adam's apple bobbing a few times. Lin Xi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he took a bite out of it.

With a hiss, Duan Yiheng put his arm around her waist and stood up. He raised his hand and touched his Adam's apple, looking at Lin Xi in disbelief: "You really have the guts to do that."

The blow was indeed quite heavy, and Lin Xi, feeling guilty but trying to maintain her composure, said, "I couldn't tell."

Duan Yiheng rolled over and pinned her down, then kissed her earlobe: "Can your shirt collar cover your Adam's apple?"

Lin Xi immediately regretted it: "What should we do then?"

Duan Yiheng rolled over and lay flat: "What can I do? If they see it, they see it."

Who would dare to gossip about him now?

Lin Xi was a little annoyed. Duan Yiheng noticed her change in mood and comforted her, "It's okay. Who can keep staring at someone's neck? Go to sleep."

It was indeed getting late. Lin Xi didn't have the energy of Duan Yiheng, who could only sleep four hours a day. She leaned against him and slowly closed her eyes.

The next day, Duan Yiheng suggested going to work with Lin Xi, but Lin Xi refused, saying, "I'm going to the company first. You wait here for the driver."

Duan Yiheng reluctantly went to the gym.

Sun Wenxin's birthday is in two days. It's a nice day, a Sunday, so she doesn't have to work and has plenty of time.

Duan Yiheng was also going to see Zheng Jiayi today.

Taking into account Sun Wenxin's salary, Lin Xi let her choose a restaurant within her budget.

Sun Wenxin didn't stand on ceremony with her. Even though she had gone to great lengths to book a high-end restaurant, it was probably just an ordinary place in Lin Xi's eyes.

She found a nice local Shanghainese restaurant near her home.

Lin Xi handed the gift to Sun Wenxin: "I picked out a perfume that suits your temperament."

Sun Wenxin took it and glanced at it, overjoyed; it was worth a month's salary for her.

"What you told me—"

"Let's eat first," Lin Xi interrupted her. "I'm not working today, so we can talk slowly after we finish eating."

"it is good."

This wasn't the first time the two had eaten together, and they were quite familiar with each other's tastes.

Sun Wenxin was a chatterbox to some extent, and always liked to tell Lin Xi interesting gossip.

"Your life at the front desk must be really exciting," Lin Xi said with a smile.

Sun Wenxin: "I dare not let President Duan know, he'll think I'm slacking off."

Lin Xi was both amused and exasperated: "Why would I tell him this?"

Sun Wenxin coughed lightly: "Can I gossip a bit about President Duan? Does he have a girlfriend?"

Lin Xi was taken aback, then avoided her gaze: "Why are you asking this?"

"You didn't know? It's already spread everywhere." Sun Wenxin looked surprised. "You're with President Duan all day long, how come you didn't know?"

Lin Xi was also curious: "What's been spread?"

Sun Wenxin tilted her head back and ran her finger along her neck: "The new receptionist got the time wrong and got a scolding from President Duan. He personally went downstairs to pick up the customer, and then someone saw it, and it spread like wildfire."

Lin Xi was both embarrassed and shocked: "I...I don't know."

Sun Wenxin: "I thought you saw it."

Lin Xi chuckled. After she had almost finished eating, she asked Sun Wenxin, "How's the matter I asked you to handle?"

Sun Wenxin said, "I tested him and felt that he was very loyal to Manager Chen."

Lin Xi: "Could you tell me some things about him and his girlfriend, such as how their relationship is and when they plan to get married?"

Sun Wenxin nodded and chatted with Lin Xi for nearly two hours.

Around 3 p.m., Lin Xi said goodbye to Sun Wenxin.

I had just gotten home when I received a call from Liang Yutong, inviting me out for dinner that evening.

Lin Xi was about to refuse when Liang Yutong said, "Let's just have a couple of drinks. I'm feeling down, so please keep me company."

Lin Xi: What's wrong with you?

Liang Yutong: "Mu Shuo, after I rejected him, he really gave up, and now I feel uneasy again."

Lin Xi: "...made."

Liang Yutong: "Let's go to a restaurant tonight and chat."

Lin Xi had no choice but to agree, not knowing how things were going with Duan Yiheng.

She was afraid that Duan Yiheng would come looking for her, so she sent him a message saying she would be going out that night.

Duan Yiheng replied ten minutes later: I'm with Meng Huaishan. Send me your location and I'll come pick you up.

Lin Xi replied: Okay then, I won't drive.

Have Liang Yutong come and pick her up.

The person Liang Yutong invited naturally agreed readily.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Lin Xi immediately sent her location to Duan Yiheng.

Liang Yutong insisted on sharing a seat with her, and when she saw this, she teased, "Oh, someone's here to pick you up?"

Lin Xi nudged her: "If you want someone to pick you up, you can just make a phone call."

Liang Yutong looked conflicted: "Do you think I was badly hurt by Zheng Jianian?"

Lin Xi: "...You haven't let go of this kind of person yet?"

Liang Yutong: "I'm innocent. If I couldn't let go, would I let my dad take over his company?"

Duan Yiheng was also involved in this matter, and Lin Xi quietly asked, "What is Zheng Jianian doing now?"

Liang Yutong: "He tried to save his precarious company, and incidentally harassed me every now and then."

Lin Xi once envied their childhood sweetheart relationship immensely, but now, looking back, it all seems so insignificant.

After a few rounds of eating and drinking, Lin Xi picked up her phone and glanced at it. There were no messages from Duan Yiheng; he was probably still busy.

"Didn't Duan Yiheng say he was coming to pick you up? Why haven't I heard anything?" Liang Yutong glanced at the time, knowing that Lin Ximing had to go to work early, and wanted her to go home and rest as soon as possible.

Lin Xi shook his head: "He's probably still busy."

Liang Yutong: "Why don't you make a phone call and ask what time it is?"

Lin Xi hesitated for a few seconds when Duan Yiheng's call suddenly came in.

She thought Duan Yiheng had arrived and subconsciously looked out the window: "You're here?"

"I'm sorry, I have something to attend to here. Would you like Miss Liang to take you home?" Duan Yiheng said.

Lin Xi: "It's alright, you go about your business."

Duan Yiheng said, "I'll come find you before midnight when I'm done with my work. After midnight, I won't bother you."

Lin Xi replied, "Okay."

Seeing that she had hung up the phone, Liang Yutong asked, "Is Duan Yiheng not coming?"

Lin Xi picked up her bag and stood up: "Let's go, you can take me home."

"Wow, you're not angry at all?" Liang Yutong followed up, saying with great admiration.

Lin Xi chuckled: "What's there to be angry about? He really has something to do."

Liang Yutong gave her a thumbs up: "If it were me, I simply couldn't imagine it."

Lin Xi smiled and pushed her into the car: "Let's go."

At the first intersection, the two were stopped by a red light. Both directions led to the Imperial Seal of Heaven, but the routes were different.

Liang Yutong waited in the middle lane for straight traffic, following the red light.

Walk to the end of the road and then turn left; you'll pass by the Rainbow Pavilion.

Because of the little girl she had met twice, Lin Xi subconsciously looked inside.

That one glance made her freeze for a moment.
