Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 265 Extra 9

The airport was relatively close to the manor, but Lin Xi had been traveling for several days and was so tired that she fell asleep snoring softly.

Duan Yiheng promised to wake her up when they arrived, but he couldn't bear to do so right now.

After sitting in the car for a while, he gently picked up Lin Xi.

Let's talk about it when we get back to our room.

Lin Xi vaguely felt herself floating, but she didn't panic at all. Instead, she hugged Duan Yiheng's neck and whispered, "So sleepy."

"If you're sleepy, just go to sleep," Duan Yiheng said, carrying her into the elevator. "You can take a shower later."

"No," Lin Xi said with difficulty, opening her eyes. "Put me down when we get to the room."

She was afraid of getting dirty, so Duan Yiheng proposed to her.

Once they arrived at the room, Duan Yiheng put her down and said, "I'll have someone draw you a bath so you can relax. I'll also have your luggage packed, okay?"

Lin Xi nodded: "Okay."

After resting for a while, Duan Yiheng went to another bathroom.

It's getting late, after all.

The maid came over and said the bathroom was ready. Lin Xi responded and pushed open the bathroom door.

Rose petals were scattered in the bathtub. Lin Xi suddenly turned around, her heart skipped a beat. Was he really planning to propose?

She retreated to the doorway and looked around. Could it be that Duan Yiheng wasn't going to take a shower?

Lin Xi leaned against the door frame, clutching her chest. After a few seconds of thought, she quickly closed the door and stripped naked.

I soaked in the bath for fifteen minutes, and my fatigue eased a little.

I stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour, until my body was practically soaked in body lotion, before I came out.

When she reached the foot of the bed, Lin Xi paused. She looked at Duan Yiheng at the head of the bed and subconsciously asked, "What are you doing here?"

Duan Yiheng was taken aback: "You want to sleep in a separate room from me?"

“…No.” Lin Xi belatedly realized she had misunderstood, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly denied it, “I thought you were still taking a shower.”

Duan Yiheng chuckled: "Why don't you check what time it is?"

Lin Xi walked over slowly, her sleepiness dispelled by the bath.

"Move over there," she said, pointing to the inside. "Make room for me."

Duan Yiheng didn't move and said, "You sleep over there."

Lin Xi said "Oh," and was about to turn around and go up from the other side when Duan Yiheng grabbed her wrist: "Just go this way."

Lin Xi didn't think much of it and followed his hand to lift her leg and straddle him. Duan Yiheng suddenly stood up, grabbed her waist with both hands, and made her sit on his lap.

Lin Xi's face was burning hot as she patted his shoulder: "You rascal! Don't you know it's getting late?"

Duan Yiheng buried his face in her neck and kissed her, his voice low and deep: "Smells so good."

Lin Xi felt both itchy and embarrassed, thinking he was going to propose, but it turned out she was just being presumptuous.

She snorted, pushed him away, and said, "I want to sleep."

"Hmm? You don't sound very happy." Duan Yiheng released her and cupped her face in his palm. "Who upset you?"

Lin Xi rolled her eyes at him: "Who uses rose petals for a bath? That's so tacky."

Duan Yiheng was slightly taken aback by the nitpicking tone.

He patted her back and said, "Tomorrow I'll ask the housekeeper who prepared your bathwater."

Lin Xi glanced sideways: "What are you going to do?"

Duan Yiheng feigned seriousness: "Expulsion."

Lin Xi: "...It's not that serious, don't say that."

Duan Yiheng suppressed a laugh: "Miss Lin is kind-hearted."

Lin Xi scoffed, rolled over, and covered herself with the blanket in one swift motion.

Duan Yiheng turned to kiss her, but she stopped him with a hand: "I want to sleep."

Duan Yiheng grabbed her wrist, forcefully turned her chin, and kissed her on the lips.

"You've gone too far! What's with the little tantrum? Tell me!"

Even if Lin Xi were asked to explain, she couldn't say anything. So she simply turned around and hugged Duan Yiheng, as if to admit her mistake.

Duan Yiheng couldn't do anything with her, so he gently rubbed her face, his eyes filled with tenderness and love.

"Are you tired?"

When people are tired, they tend to be more irritable, and he thought Lin Xi was just tired.

Lin Xi nestled in his arms and hummed in agreement.

Duan Yiheng patted her back slowly and gently: "Go to sleep. Tomorrow, whether it's playing ball or horseback riding, I'll accompany you."

Lin Xi suddenly looked up from his embrace: "Didn't the butler say the ginkgo leaves were yellow?"

Duan Yiheng replied, "It's off. I'll go check again tomorrow."

Seeing that his expression showed no abnormality whatsoever, Lin Xi finally closed her eyes.

The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Lin Xi told himself: Just treat this as a trip for fun.

After a two-day holiday, the manor looks secluded from the world, so it's good to relax a bit.

After stopping her random thoughts, Lin Xi quickly fell asleep.

She slept soundly without any dreams, and surprisingly woke up quite early the next day, waking Duan Yiheng up with the sound of her turning over.

The two got up and washed up in tacit agreement, then went to the rooftop balcony.

A short while later, breakfast was served.

It was already early November, and the morning temperature was noticeably lower. Duan Yiheng glanced at Lin Xi, then turned and went back to his room to get a blanket to drape over Lin Xi.

As everything was awakened by the morning light, Lin Xi sighed contentedly and took a sip of her coffee.

It feels so good!

Lin Xi narrowed her eyes and said, "It's really comfortable here. If I stay here all day, I'll forget about directions."

Duan Yiheng hummed in agreement: "It will get boring if it goes on for too long."

After finishing a cup of coffee and having eaten most of her breakfast, Lin Xi asked Duan Yiheng, "What are we going to do later?"

This place is too big. It would be fun if you met up with friends, but if it's just the two of them, they'll get bored in no time.

"What do you want to do?" Duan Yiheng put down his coffee. "I came here to accompany you in the first place. I'll do whatever you say."

Lin Xi said, "Then let's go see the horse you gave me. Wasn't it sick before? Is it better now?"

Duan Yiheng thought of Lin Xi's breakup with him before and snorted, "Fine."

Lin Xi seized the opportunity and said, "Then how about you take me for a few rides?"

Duan Yiheng then asked, "Do you want me to take your picture?"

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Why are you filming this?"

"Don't you girls like to post updates on social media?" Duan Yiheng explained to her, "I was just asking casually."

Lin Xi laughed and said, "I also post them, but not very often. Since you've said so, let's take the picture."

Duan Yiheng said, "Didn't you praise the butler's photography skills and have him come with us?"

Lin Xi nodded casually, and Duan Yiheng, who had just wiped his hands, couldn't wait to pull him up.

The racecourse is in the north. Lin Xi and Duan Yiheng had just boarded the golf cart when they suddenly saw a drone fly overhead.

Lin Xi was taken aback: "What are drones for?"

Duan Yiheng replied without changing his expression, "On patrol."

Lin Xi didn't think much of it. Drones are very useful, especially in a manor like this, where they can play a role in security monitoring.

The area is large, but there aren't many servants, so the drones have come in very handy.

While Lin Xi wasn't paying attention, Duan Yiheng sent a message with a cold face.

Mu Shuo immediately replied: I'm sorry, Heng-ge, I messed up and didn't control it well.

Duan Yiheng didn't have time to argue with him and told him to stop playing around. If he messed up his plans, he would be in deep trouble.

Mu Shuo was such a coward, clinging to Liang Yutong for comfort.

Liang Yutong pushed him away: "Serves you right."

While Lin Xi was still riding his horse, he was unaware that a group of people were hiding in the manor.
