Chapter 108 Why do you smell like Xiaoxi?

Lin Xi avoided Duan Mingxuan's intense gaze and asked in a low voice, "Why are you asking this?"

Duan Mingxuan said, "It's not convenient for you to live with your older brother."

Lin Xi hesitated, unsure how to answer.

Before, it would have been inconvenient and awkward for her to live here.

However, her relationship with Duan Yiheng underwent a qualitative change as they spent more time together.

Driven by selfishness, she greedily absorbed his tenderness. Although there were undercurrents beneath the calm surface, she was reluctant to leave the whirlpool before it reached her.

"Let me take another look," Lin Xi could only awkwardly reply.

"What else is there to see?" Duan Mingxuan asked, puzzled. "You and he aren't on the same wavelength, and he's your boss. I've never heard of anyone liking to live with their boss."

Lin Xi lowered her eyelashes guiltily.

Duan Mingxuan thought she had listened, and then listed several properties he had found for her.

Lin Xi was really annoyed and wanted to kick him out, but there was a knock on the door.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and let the person in without thinking.

Duan Yiheng, dressed in a dark formal suit, pushed open the door and entered. Although he did not say a word, his aura was imposing.

Duan Mingxuan stood up and looked at Duan Yiheng: "Big brother, it's perfect that you're back. Let's sit down and talk."

Duan Yiheng's expression was indifferent: "What do you want to say?"

Lin Xi stood up and grabbed Duan Mingxuan's arm: "You go back first, I want to rest."

"Xiao Xi, are you afraid to say it?" Duan Mingxuan comforted her by covering the back of her hand. "I'll say it."

Duan Yiheng's gaze fell on their intertwined hands. Lin Xi quickly released Duan Mingxuan and then carefully looked at Duan Yiheng's expression.

“It’s inconvenient for Xiaoxi to live here,” Duan Mingxuan said bluntly. “If she wants, she can go back to the east side. If she doesn’t want to, I will buy her a house near the company.”

"Duan Mingxuan," Lin Xi frowned suddenly, "Can you please stop interfering in my affairs?"

"If I don't care, who will?" Duan Mingxuan turned his head and pointed at Duan Yiheng. "Him?"

“It’s definitely not you.” Lin Xi grabbed him and pulled him outside. “You should go back now, I’m afraid Aunt Wei will come looking for you.”

"Xiao Xi." Duan Mingxuan called her name as he was being pushed along.

Lin Xi was extremely annoyed with him, so she pushed him out and slammed the door shut.

She braced her hands against the door, lowered her head, and exhaled.

She didn't know when it started, but she found it very difficult to communicate with Duan Mingxuan.

He always presumptuously assumed what she needed and didn't need.

"Xiao Xi, open the door." Duan Mingxuan pounded on the door so loudly it shook the heavens, just like his flamboyant personality.

"We'll talk about it later." Lin Xi locked the door from the inside.

Duan Mingxuan persisted outside the door.

Lin Xi intended to ignore it, but when she turned around, she was so startled by Duan Yiheng, who suddenly blocked her way, that she slammed her against the door.

"When...when did you get here?"

Duan Yiheng lowered his gaze: "When did Duan Mingxuan arrive?"

Lin Xi: "Half an hour ago."

Duan Yiheng: "What's he doing here?"

“You saw it, didn’t you?” Lin Xi replied softly.

Duan Yiheng lowered his gaze to the lowest point, held her hand, and gently rubbed it with the pad of his thumb.

Lin Xi was slightly taken aback, and inexplicably felt that his action was like brushing away something dirty.

"Xiao Xi, open the door and listen to me. Even if you don't want to, you have to let Duan Yiheng out."

Hearing the noise outside the door, Duan Yiheng suddenly chuckled at Lin Xi: "He's afraid of you being with me, have you noticed?"

Lin Xi nodded; she had had this feeling for a long time.

At first, she thought it was because the two of them were not getting along, but Duan Mingxuan's behavior was too intense, which made her suspect that there were other reasons.

She even asked both of them, but didn't get a complete answer.

Duan Yiheng lowered his eyes and moved closer, his tone almost seductive: "Don't you want to know the reason?"

Lin Xi grabbed his shoulder: "I don't want to know."

She instinctively felt it was another shackle.

Duan Yiheng chuckled softly: "Then kiss me."

Lin Xi stared wide-eyed, feeling the thumping on her back, her throat dry: "Now?"

Duan Yiheng said with absolute certainty: "Now."

Separated by a door, it was too shameful. Lin Xi looked up, her eyes pleading, "Wait until he leaves, okay?"

Duan Yiheng tapped her nose with his own: "No good."

Lin Xi's heart softened immediately, and she said shamelessly, "How about just once?"

Her upturned face was charming and sweet, and Duan Yiheng chuckled softly, "Okay."

Anyway, they didn't say how long it would take.

Lin Xi was completely oblivious to Duan Mingxuan's shouts. She tiptoed and lightly touched Duan Yiheng's lips with her own.

Before she could pull away, Duan Yiheng sealed her lips completely.

"Mmm..." Lin Xi opened her eyes in a panic, and her mouth opened slightly involuntarily. Duan Yiheng seized the opportunity and went straight in.

"Xiao Xi".

Lin Xi kept making "uh" sounds out of shame, as if Duan Mingxuan's voice was right next to her ear.

And she... was kissing Duan Yiheng!

Duan Mingxuan had limited patience for other things, but he was extremely patient with Lin Xi's affairs.

Seeing that Lin Xi did not open the door for a long time, he shouted loudly, "If you don't open the door, I will wait outside."

He was really worried that Duan Yiheng inside might do something to Lin Xi.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi resisted even more fiercely.

Duan Yiheng restrained her wrists, holding them together behind her waist, forcing Lin Xi to straighten her chest and tilt her head back.

Lin Xi blushed from her neck to the tips of her ears as her thin pajamas brushed against her crisp suit.

This gangster!

"Mmm... let go..."

Duan Yiheng rubbed against that soft spot for a moment before slowly releasing it.

Lin Xi's chest heaved, and as soon as her hand was free, she pounded it hard on Duan Yiheng's chest: "You really are...you really are..."

"What is it?" Duan Yiheng gently rubbed the soft flesh behind her ear. "You don't like it?"

"Who likes that?" Lin Xi spat at him. "You scoundrel."

"Trying to flirt with me, huh?" Duan Yiheng stroked her face. "Don't forget Duan Mingxuan is still standing outside the door."

Lin Xi slapped his hand away: "I don't care, let whoever wants to interfere."

How can she go out and face people looking like this?

She knows it without even looking in the mirror.

Lin Xi rarely acted childishly, so Duan Yiheng turned around and followed her.

Lin Xi closed the bathroom door behind her: "Go and take care of it. If you don't get him out of here, you can stand outside too."

Duan Yiheng chuckled: "You're really amazing, one door per person."

Lin Xi looked at herself in the mirror; her cheeks were flushed and her lips were fiery red.

She turned on the tap and splashed cold water on her face.

"Don't be angry, I'll take care of it for you. You stay inside and rest well. I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Lin Xi responded.

Duan Yiheng opened the door and saw Duan Mingxuan standing by the door like a pillar.

Duan Mingxuan frowned, feeling that something was off about Duan Yiheng's appearance.

Although he still maintained a cold demeanor, a hint of contentment and self-satisfaction could be seen between his brows.

Duan Mingxuan caught a faint fragrance and his expression changed drastically: "Duan Yiheng, why do you smell like Xiao Xi?"
