Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 159 I just love the idea of ​​lovers in the world finally getting married.

Lin Xi saw Zhao Hongbo and was the first to stand up and greet him.

Zhao Yuxin was very happy: "Are you finished talking? Can we go eat now?"

Zhao Hongbo chuckled: "It's like I'm starving you. Come on, let's go upstairs and eat."

Zhao Yuxin turned around and took Lin Xi's arm: "I made a new friend, and I'm with her."

Zhao Hongbo chuckled indulgently.

The four of them went into the restaurant on the second floor and chose Chinese food.

After that, they didn't talk about anything serious; Zhao Yuxin did all the talking while the other three listened.

After their meal, they didn't rush to leave, but Zhao Hongbo went to rest first.

Zhao Yuxin blocked Duan Yiheng on the terrace, seemingly very curious about him.

Lin Xi paused for a moment, then said, "You two chat first, I'll wait over there."

After Lin Xi left, Zhao Yuxin looked annoyed and asked, "I heard from my dad that you rejected me?"

Duan Yiheng: "...I'm not good enough for you."

Zhao Yuxin scoffed, "So you just didn't like me."

"What does Miss Zhao want to say?" Duan Yiheng couldn't help but glance in Lin Xi's direction.

"I'm talking to you, why do you keep looking at Lin Xi?" Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that you and she are together?"

Duan Yiheng forced a smile and asked, "What do I have to do with her?"

Zhao Yuxin: "It was because of the pressure of my status that we were forced to break up in the meeting room or something."

Seeing that her gaze was clear and she didn't seem to be looking for trouble, Duan Yiheng asked, "What if it's true?"

Zhao Yuxin gave her a thumbs up: "You're no good, how could you break up with me?"

Duan Yiheng was stunned for a moment: "...We were forced into it. Can you keep this a secret for us?"

Zhao Yuxin patted her chest: "I'll keep it a secret, but I'm really curious, you really don't plan to make up with her?"

“It’s not that I don’t want to get back together with her, it’s that she’s resisting me,” Duan Yiheng said. “Actually, she had already told me she wanted to break up before the board meeting.”

Zhao Yuxin: "What was her reason for breaking up?"

Duan Yiheng: "..."

"Seriously? You don't know why she broke up with you?" Zhao Yuxin gave him a disdainful look.

“Perhaps she was afraid,” Duan Yiheng said. “Our relationship at the time was kept secret, a clandestine affair. Of course, only I thought so; she didn’t feel like she was dating me.”

Now, if he were to find a reason why Lin Xi wanted to break up, he couldn't think of any other reason besides being afraid of being discovered.

But why did she suddenly become afraid?

That's the key point.

Knowing that men tend to be stubborn, Zhao Yuxin said, "Let's sit down and talk. Tell me about her situation, and I'll give you some advice."

Duan Yiheng said almost without thinking, "Then wait for me a moment."

After saying that, he turned to Lin Xi and said, "I'll chat with Miss Zhao for a while. Why don't you go digest your food or get a massage? Go and relax by yourself, don't just stand here like an idiot."

Lin Xi was taken aback. Chatting with Miss Zhao?

"Lin Xi?" Duan Yiheng called out again when he saw her in a daze.

Lin Xi snapped out of her reverie and said, "Oh, I understand."

Duan Yiheng had a premonition that he would gain something today, and without noticing Lin Xi's slightly disappointed expression, he turned around and sat down opposite Zhao Yuxin.

He recounted his story with Lin Xi in detail.

Zhao Yuxin: "………………"

Duan Yiheng was completely baffled: "Is there a problem?"

"A huge problem." Zhao Yuxin rolled her eyes at him. "She's afraid to be with you because of your status, and you just came here secretly like this?"

"It's normal for her to be worried and scared, okay? How old is she? She's in her first relationship and got together with you without really understanding what was going on, and you're still officially her lover?"

"Oh my god, I really want to curse you."

Duan Yiheng belatedly realized what was happening, and a dull pain and regret shot through his heart.

Zhao Yuxin said, "I see you're not beyond redemption, so I'll talk to you about it."

Duan Yiheng adopted a posture of "listening attentively".

"First of all, she was adopted by your family. To put it bluntly, she's not a member of your family. She knows that perfectly well, doesn't she?"

“When I talk to her, I can clearly feel that she is very considerate of others, but I am not like that; I only think about myself.”

"She's a bit sensitive. No matter what the reason, if you start things with her in an ambiguous way, she'll put herself in that ambiguous position. What can she possibly expect from you?"

"Secondly, if your relationship is exposed, what will her family's eyes be on her? Will they want to devour her? Have you considered that if she fights for you, she might end up with nothing and nothing at all?"

"The only people she has in this world who are connected to her are your Duan family, right? Regardless of whether your family is good or bad to her, in her heart, this is all she has. Her ability to maintain a balance in her relationship with you is a subconscious behavior, because it makes her feel safe."

"If she truly loves you, she will suffer no less than you."

After a long pause, Duan Yiheng said with a self-deprecating laugh, "It was my fault."

Zhao Yuxin waved her hand: "Oh, it's nothing for a man to suffer a little in love. The key is, how much do you really like her? Is it that you can't live without her, or is it just a passing fancy?"

"It has to be her." Duan Yiheng didn't hesitate for a moment.

Zhao Yuxin scolded, "Then you should really try to see things from her perspective. You don't even understand why she suddenly broke up with you, yet you say you like her."

Duan Yiheng slowly exhaled the breath he had been holding in his chest: "Thank you, I know what to do."

“That’s right,” Zhao Yuxin said with a smile. “You need to truly understand her heart, and also let her understand your heart.”

Duan Yiheng thanked him again.

Zhao Yuxin shook her head: "I just love the idea that all lovers in the world can be united in marriage."

Duan Yiheng smiled and said, "I'll treat you to a meal sometime in the future. Lin Xi and I will be leaving now."

Zhao Yuxin waved at him.

Duan Yiheng first went to tell Zhao Hongbo, and after learning that he had to rush to the hospital, he exchanged a few pleasantries and then said goodbye.

Lin Xi did nothing, just sat quietly in the lounge area, lost in thought.

Duan Yiheng walked over, but she remained oblivious.

After standing quietly for a few seconds, he bent over and leaned against the back of the sofa. Lin Xi noticed the shadow on one side and was so frightened that she kept a considerable distance away.

Duan Yiheng chuckled: "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "You do scary things without making a sound."

"I was wrong." Duan Yiheng smiled as he traced her features. "I'm leaving. I've already spoken to Chairman Zhao."

Lin Xi felt that he was a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.

She grabbed her bag, stood up, and asked casually, "Did you tell Miss Zhao?"

"said."

"Oh, let's go then."

As soon as the two got into the car, Duan Yiheng received a message from the butler of the No. 1 Manor in the North District.

He frowned, made a phone call, and said, "That was planted by my mother herself, it must be saved."

Lin Xi was taken aback. Save what?
