Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 235 I came back for one sentence

Lin Xi was just making a casual retort; it was a small issue and had nothing to do with whether or not to forgive.

But to prevent Duan Yiheng from taking advantage of the situation, she said, "Let's have a cold war for half an hour first, and then we'll talk."

Half an hour is just enough time for the two of them to finish showering.

"A cold war hurts feelings," Duan Yiheng stopped her. "Even a minute of it is a cold war. How about this, I'll help you wash your hair and take a bath, okay?"

Lin Xi: "...Not very good."

Is he taking a shower? It's so late already, if he keeps making a fuss, he won't be able to sleep at all.

However, Lin Xi never had the final say in such matters, and she was no match for Duan Yiheng.

With his wrist easily restrained, Duan Yiheng swiftly and decisively stripped off his clothes.

The sound of running water filled the bathroom, and white steam billowed out.

Duan Yiheng swallowed Lin Xi's protest words, chewed them up, and became very fierce.

After what seemed like an eternity, the bathroom door was finally opened.

Lin Xi nestled in Duan Yiheng's arms like a ripe shrimp.

"Your hair is still a little damp." Duan Yiheng touched it. "I'll go get a hairdryer to dry it for you."

Lin Xi glared at him, her eyes and brows flushed red, but she wasn't fierce at all.

Duan Yiheng loved her very much. He bent down and kissed the corner of her eye, then turned to get the hair dryer.

Lin Xi really enjoys having her hair done, because it feels comfortable.

Duan Yiheng's movements were very gentle, and in the warm breeze, Lin Xi seemed to have fallen asleep.

Duan Yiheng leaned down and kissed her lips, smiling as he asked softly, "When will you marry me?"

He smiled, put away the hairdryer, and went to sleep next to Lin Xi.

The following morning, Lin Xi slowly woke up.

She lay on the bed in a daze for a while, then picked up her phone and checked the time; it was almost eleven o'clock.

With Duan Yiheng's words from last night echoing in her ears, Lin Xi thought for a moment and sent him a message.

After washing up, Lin Xi went downstairs to find something to eat.

Sister Mei cut a plate of fruit and brought it over to her, asking, "What would you like to eat for lunch? We received a message from the North Courtyard that Mr. Zheng has come over, saying he's here to apologize."

Lin Xi nodded belatedly, which meant that she didn't have to go and have dinner with her grandfather.

"Just make something simple," Lin Xi said.

Sister Mei: "Then I'll make you a dish of plum-flavored spare ribs and a stir-fry of seasonal vegetables?"

"can."

"I just made some mung bean cakes, let me try a couple to tide me over."

Lin Xi tried a piece; it was sweet and refreshing without being cloying. Duan Yiheng should be able to accept it. When he comes back in the evening, he'll ask Sister Mei to make another one.

Just as I muttered that to myself, I heard a noise coming from the entrance hall.

Lin Xi craned her neck and was taken aback when she saw the person who had come: "Why are you back?"

Duan Yiheng changed his shoes and went straight to the sofa.

Lin Xi then asked, "Do you eat at home?"

Duan Yiheng nodded, and Lin Xi hurriedly called out to the kitchen, "Sister Mei, make a couple more dishes, your young master is back."

Sister Mei ran out of the kitchen and was also taken aback when she saw Duan Yiheng.

He basically doesn't come home for lunch.

Duan Yiheng raised his hand to wipe the crumbs from Lin Xi's lips and said, "I came back for a sentence."

Lin Xi's face flushed involuntarily. She picked up the still-warm mung bean cake and pressed it directly to Duan Yiheng's lips, saying:

"Are you hungry? Have something to tide you over. It's made by Sister Mei, and it's delicious."

"Don't move—"

With his mouth stuffed, Duan Yiheng had no choice but to finish the pancake.

During this time, he kept staring at Lin Xi. Lin Xi knew she couldn't hide any longer, so she muttered, "Are you crazy? You came all the way back for just one sentence. Couldn't you have asked me when you got back tonight?"

"I'm going to Yinfan Technology this afternoon. You'll come with me," Duan Yiheng said. "We'll hand over our work there."

"So fast?" Lin Xi was surprised for a moment.

Duan Yiheng said, "Your transfer application was approved immediately. I mentioned it to HR and Xu Yu. Starting tomorrow, you will go directly to the sales department."

Lin Xi already had experience working on the Likang project.

She got along well with her colleagues in the sales department, and even after the transfer, she didn't experience any difficulties adapting.

Furthermore, her current close relationship with Duan Yiheng makes it unsuitable for them to work together.

Regardless of whether Duan Yiheng is biased or not, if any decision is wrong, she will definitely be blamed.

Lin Xi and Duan Yiheng were both well aware of this.

Fortunately, Lin Xi was willing to work on projects, so going to the sales department was the best training and arrangement for her.

"Okay." Lin Xi forked a strawberry for him. "It's so sweet, have one."

Duan Yiheng ate a strawberry as she wished, then took out his phone, turned on the screen, and showed her the WeChat chat window.

"Lin Xi, explain the meaning of this sentence."

Lin Xi knew what he had posted without even looking—"Wait until the ginkgo trees are in full bloom, then come and ask me if I'm willing."

Duan Yiheng's eyes were fervent: "Did you hear what I said last night?"

Lin Xi bit her lip: "Mmm."

"So, what does that mean?" Duan Yiheng asked.

Lin Xi pushed his phone away, her tone arrogant: "You figure out what I mean yourself. I'm a girl, after all, and there are some things I shouldn't take the initiative to do."

Duan Yiheng chuckled, finally understanding.

He wrapped his arms around Lin Xi's neck and kissed her directly.

Sister Mei slammed on the brakes and went back to the kitchen.

Lin Xi seemed to hear Sister Mei's voice and hurriedly nudged Duan Yiheng: "Stop fooling around, dinner is almost ready."

Duan Yiheng let go of her, and a little while later, Sister Mei came over and said that dinner was ready.

During the meal, Lin Xi told Duan Yiheng about the guests who had come to the North Courtyard.

Duan Yiheng raised his eyes and said, "The apology is probably genuine. Yesterday I met with Zheng Jiayi's husband and discussed some cooperation matters. The Zheng family is already torn apart, and even if the old man is unwilling, he has to bow his head."

Lin Xi asked, "What about Ke Yu? Is there any news about her and Uncle Duan?"

Duan Yiheng said, "Chen Baiwei has made their affair known to everyone in the circle. Duan Zheng accompanied An Qi abroad, and Ke Yu went back to the Zheng family a few days ago. Since then, he has not left Lanyue Mansion."

Lin Xi said, "She didn't accompany Anqi abroad, and she wasn't even afraid that Chen Jingyi would find evidence to sue her. She must have other motives."

Originally, according to Duan Yiheng's plan, Chen Jingyi and Ke Yu were supposed to fight to the death, but strangely, neither of them made a move.

Duan Yiheng said, "I asked Zheng Jiayi about this matter, and she said that Ke Yu was unwilling to have nothing after so many years in the Zheng family."

“That’s true.” Lin Xi thought it was very likely. “We won’t get a single penny, so we can’t just send her away easily.”

She feared that the Zheng family would have to compromise in the end, as she didn't believe Ke Yu didn't have any dirt on the Zheng family.

But Old Master Zheng isn't one to be trifled with either; it remains to be seen how both sides will compromise.

At the dining table, Duan Yiheng's phone suddenly rang.

Upon seeing that it was Chen Xin's number, Duan Yiheng answered immediately.

After listening, he frowned and said, "I'll think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi asked, "What's up?"

Duan Yiheng said, "Interview."

"Another interview." Lin Xi knew Duan Yiheng wasn't interested. "If you don't like it, just turn it down. Last time, Lin Xiaoying even took a picture of you."

Duan Yiheng paused, almost forgetting about this person.

Since the methods used were dishonest, it's understandable that he wouldn't give them a way out.
