Chapter 252 I'm waiting for you
The air pressure around Duan Yiheng was very low, and the driver didn't dare to breathe loudly.
After a long pause, the driver looked up at Duan Yiheng and asked, "Should we give chase?"
Duan Yiheng was furious, but Duan Mingxuan had planned this all along and was nowhere to be found.
For Lin Xi's health and to avoid further trouble, Duan Yiheng swallowed his anger.
Moreover, City B is experiencing high temperatures and poor air quality.
Even though the room is clean and tidy, Lin Xi shouldn't be confined indoors all the time.
But Duan Yiheng was genuinely worried about Duan Mingxuan, that idiot.
Duan Yiheng got into the car and said, "Let's go back first."
Back at the villa, Sister Mei looked behind him.
"Stop looking." Duan Yiheng changed into slippers. "Lin Xi was taken away by Duan Mingxuan."
"What?" Sister Mei didn't understand what he meant. "What do you mean by taking it away?"
Duan Yiheng was also very annoyed and said, "He's just a bastard. He said he would send Lin Xi back when the time came, but I guess he went south."
The air and soil in the south are suitable for healing injuries.
Duan Yiheng said to Sister Mei, "Never mind that, I'm going upstairs first."
Sister Mei stood there for a long time, feeling that she had nothing to do if Lin Xi didn't come back.
Duan Yiheng disliked her constantly fussing over him, but Lin Xi was different.
Duan Yiheng went to Lin Xi's room, walked around, and then went to the balcony to call Lin Xi, but still couldn't get through.
I called Duan Mingxuan again, but he didn't answer.
Duan Yiheng hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to Duan Mingxuan: Answer the phone.
Duan Mingxuan: Xiao Xi's phone is with me.
Duan Yiheng: Where are you taking her?
Duan Mingxuan: Don't worry about that. I said I would take her back.
Duan Yiheng: Did you think I couldn't find you?
Duan Mingxuan: By the time you find us, Xiao Xi and I will no longer be there.
Duan Mingxuan: ...I'm warning you, if you have any ulterior motives, you'll be begging on the streets when you get back.
Duan Mingxuan did not reply to Duan Yiheng.
Duan Yiheng immediately summoned Uncle Deng and instructed him, "Find out where Duan Mingxuan is right away, and let me know when you find him."
Uncle Deng asked, "Should we bring the young lady back?"
Duan Yiheng shook his head: "Xiao Xi has been through a lot in the past six months, and her grandfather just passed away. Let her rest outside for a while and clear her mind."
The reason he asked Uncle Deng to investigate was simply because he didn't trust Duan Mingxuan.
Uncle Deng immediately accepted the order and left.
Before leaving City B, Duan Mingxuan took Lin Xi to the cemetery.
The original plan was for Duan Yiheng to bring her over tomorrow.
Lin Xi followed Duan Mingxuan up the steps one by one, and before they even reached each other, she couldn't stop her tears.
“I know this is your regret,” Duan Mingxuan said to Lin Xi. “It’s also my regret. Let’s go and kowtow together.”
Lin Xi hummed in agreement.
Upon arriving at the tomb, Lin Xi knelt down abruptly, and Duan Mingxuan knelt down beside her as well.
Lin Xi bowed and kowtowed, her tears soaking the gray ground.
A sudden gust of wind blew through the bright sky, and Lin Xi cried even harder.
"You're still injured, don't cry." Duan Mingxuan comforted her, "Maybe Grandpa has already seen your parents."
Lin Xi turned her head: "What would they say?"
Duan Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "What else can I say? Raising you to be so beautiful is the least I can do for your parents."
Lin Xi looked at the photo on the tombstone and stayed with Duan Mingxuan for more than an hour before leaving.
When Lin Xi got back to the car, her knees were so weak she could barely stand.
Duan Mingxuan tried to massage her, but she dodged him.
"Then you should get some sleep," Duan Mingxuan said.
Lin Xi looked at the green trees outside the window and soon fell asleep.
When he woke up, he saw the car was still moving and was startled for a moment: "Duan Mingxuan? Where are we going?"
Duan Mingxuan laid out his plan in detail, and Lin Xi cursed, "Are you crazy?"
Duan Mingxuan didn't get angry when he was scolded; he just kept smiling.
On the highway, Lin Xi couldn't jump out of the car, so she could only sulk and refuse to speak to Duan Mingxuan.
At 3 p.m., the two arrived in a city in the south.
Lin Xi disapproved of him taking her away without permission, saying, "What are you trying to do? Give me back my phone."
"Try the tofu pudding here," Duan Mingxuan said. "You didn't eat anything on the way here. Do you have an appetite now?"
Lin Xi glanced at it, and it looked quite appetizing, so she picked up a spoon and took a bite.
Duan Mingxuan and the others eagerly asked from the side, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Lin Xi didn't even look up: "It's delicious, you should eat some too."
I was eating a bland diet while in the hospital, and then this happened so suddenly, even a god couldn't bear it.
Duan Mingxuan said as he ate, "This is a time-honored brand. The soy sauce in our tofu pudding is all homemade."
The portion wasn't much, and Lin Xi finished it quickly. She asked Duan Mingxuan, "Where exactly are you taking me?"
Duan Mingxuan said, "I've already booked this hotel. Stay here until you go home. You're still injured, so it's not suitable for you to run around."
Lin Xi rolled her eyes at him: "Then why did you bring me out? Give me your phone right now."
"I've already let Duan Yiheng know I'm safe," Duan Mingxuan said. "His company is too busy, so I'll take you out to play instead."
Lin Xi glanced at him: "What's fun to do at the hotel?"
Duan Yiheng said, "There are seven or eight courtyards with different themes here, not to mention the entertainment facilities, there is everything you could want."
Lin Xi rested her chin on her hand: "Tell me, why did you bring me out?"
Duan Mingxuan laughed and said, "I'm just annoyed that you took the bullet for Duan Yiheng. You almost scared the soul out of me."
"What direct connection does this have to you bringing me out here?"
"Why not?" Duan Mingxuan raised his chin. "As soon as you feel better, you're thinking about going back to work. The air quality in City B is so bad, how are you going to recover? Duan Yiheng is still exploiting you. Take this time to properly take care of your body."
Lin Xi pouted, but she missed Duan Yiheng.
While she was in the hospital, doctors and nurses came and went every day. She was too embarrassed to be affectionate with Duan Yiheng, so she always solemnly told him to go back to his own ward.
She was finally discharged from the hospital, but Duan Mingxuan beat her to it.
Duan Yiheng was also shot in the shoulder, and she worried that all the company's affairs might be weighing on him.
Feeling increasingly frustrated, Lin Xi said, "Give me your phone, I'm going to make a call."
Duan Mingxuan handed her the phone: "It's getting late, you should rest for a while, I'm going out for a walk."
So readily agreed? Lin Xi was taken aback.
However, she didn't think much of it and took her phone to send a video call invitation to Duan Yiheng.
Duan Yiheng answered immediately: "Lin Xi?"
Lin Xi pointed the camera at herself.
Duan Yiheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her: "Where are you?"
Lin Xi told Duan Yiheng the location and hotel name, then asked, "Do you want to come pick me up?"
Duan Yiheng countered, "Do you want to come back?"
Lin Xi said, "I wish I had come out with you."
Duan Yiheng smiled and said, "Let's play for now. Duan Mingxuan probably doesn't have any bad intentions. I'll come find you after I've finished dealing with the group's affairs."
"Really?" Lin Xi's eyes lit up.
Duan Yiheng signed each of the documents Qin Yang had brought over in the evening, saying, "Wait for me a little longer, okay?"
Lin Xi bit her lip, wanting to ask how long it would take, but seeing him so busy that he didn't even look up, she could only keep those words to herself.
"I'm waiting for you."
A soft, gentle voice made Duan Yiheng pause at the tip of his pen.
