Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 180 I thought you wanted to sleep next to me

Lin Xi mechanically put down her phone and flipped it over; outwardly, there was no difference.

Her phone and Duan Yiheng's phone are the same model and color.

Lin Xi subconsciously gripped her phone, suppressing her nervousness, and replied to the old man, "My brother and I took the wrong phone. If you hadn't called, I wouldn't have known I had taken the wrong one."

Where is your older brother?

Lin Xi bit her lip and found a reason that wasn't exactly a lie: "My brother is with President Lu and his wife. He is Lu Tong, the CEO of Black Sky Investment Company in S City."

The old man pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is there some kind of collaboration to discuss?"

Lin Xi replied vaguely, "I'm not quite sure."

"So your phone is with Yi Heng?" the old man asked.

Lin Xi said, "That should be true."

The old man hung up the phone and immediately called Duan Yiheng. Duan Yiheng knew he was using Lin Xi's phone, but he still answered when he saw the call: "Grandpa."

The old man asked the same question: "Isn't this Xiaoxi's phone?"

Duan Yiheng remained calm and said, "I took the wrong phone."

"Hmm," the old man said, "Did Mingxuan go to see Xiaoxi?"

Duan Yiheng replied, "I received his call last night, but Lin Xi and I had things to do, so we let him find a hotel himself."

The old man said, "We can't find him now. Please help us find him and bring him back as soon as you find him."

Duan Yiheng frowned: "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Duan Yiheng called out to Lu Tong, who was ahead of him.

Lu Tong turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Duan Yiheng said, "Could you please help me find someone?"

"Who?"

"Duan Mingxuan, my stepmother's son."

Lu Tong didn't ask anything, and said, "Send me a photo, and I'll have someone take care of it right away."

"Thank you."

"You're too kind."

Duan Yiheng estimated that Lin Xi had almost finished showering and said, "Then I won't disturb you two any longer."

Lu Tong waved to him.

Duan Yiheng returned to his residence. Lin Xi heard the noise and ran to the door to open it for him.

"Did Grandpa call you?" Lin Xi asked as soon as she came up.

Duan Yiheng nodded: "I took the wrong phone. Can you unlock the password and send me a picture of Duan Mingxuan's face?"

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi asked as she flipped through the photo album. After flipping through it for a while, she felt embarrassed. "I'll go check his WeChat Moments."

Duan Yiheng chuckled: "You deleted all his photos?"

Lin Xi hummed in agreement and deleted the message that night in Rong County.

Duan Mingxuan's WeChat Moments were quite interesting, full of pictures of eating, drinking, and having fun. Lin Xi finally found a half-body photo, saved it, and sent it to Duan Yiheng.

"What do you need his photo for?" Lin Xi asked.

“I don’t know where he ran off to, Grandpa can’t find him.” Duan Yiheng lowered his head and sent the message to Lu Tong.

Lin Xi: "Did Grandpa ask you to find him?"

Duan Yiheng nodded: "Let me find the person and bring him back. I've asked Lu Tong for help; he'll send someone to look for him."

Lin Xi: "Then have his men go to nightclubs and look around."

Duan Yiheng: "I understand. Give me your phone."

Lin Xi handed him the phone: "What for?"

Duan Yiheng deleted Duan Mingxuan's photo in front of her.

Lin Xi: "..."

Seeing her speechless expression, Duan Yiheng slightly raised his chin: "What? You can't bear to part with it?"

"..." Did she say that? "Give me your phone, go take a shower."

Duan Yiheng handed her the phone, took his clothes, and went into the bathroom.

Lin Xi called Duan Mingxuan twice, but no one answered. She then called Yu Lang, who was even more surprised than she was:

"Didn't Mingxuan go looking for you?"

Lin Xi hung up the phone, and while she was lost in thought, Duan Yiheng came out of the bathroom.

"What are you spacing out for? Who did you call?"

Lin Xi looked up and saw a well-built physique with slender muscles.

Duan Yiheng was half-naked, with nothing on his upper body. Lin Xi was stunned: "Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Duan Yiheng replied, "I forgot to bring my top."

Lin Xi muttered under her breath, "Then hurry up and put it on."

Duan Yiheng turned around, took a shirt from the closet and put it on. He came to the bedside, looked at Lin Xi and said, "Did you just call Duan Mingxuan?"

Lin Xi nodded: "No one answered, so I called Yu Lang again, but he didn't know either."

Duan Yiheng said, "Don't worry, he's probably drowning his sorrows in alcohol."

“Grandpa knows he came looking for me,” Lin Xi frowned. “He asked you to take him back, so he’s bound to find him. I’m just worried that if something happens to him, it will get you involved.”

"Don't overthink it," Duan Yiheng comforted her. "Lu Tong has already sent people to look for them, and we should have news tonight if things go smoothly."

Lin Xi sighed: "He's spoiled, he acts recklessly and only thinks of himself."

Duan Yiheng stood there for a moment, then said, "I'm up?"

Even though the bed was already big enough, Lin Xi still gave him her spot.

Duan Yiheng got into bed and moved closer to her.

Lin Xi: "...You still have plenty of space over there."

Duan Yiheng's arm was pressed against hers, and he said "Oh": "You gave me such a big space, I thought you wanted me to sleep next to you."

"Who wants to sleep next to you?" Lin Xi said shyly, turning her body away.

Duan Yiheng turned around and gathered her long, loose hair: "But I want to hold you while I sleep, what should I do?"

Lin Xi's hand, which was pressed against her chest, suddenly clenched. What should she do? She didn't know.

Duan Yiheng moved forward slightly, his breath brushing against her hair: "Shall I hold you?"

Lin Xi sighed, seemingly admitting defeat, and before she could utter a word, Duan Yiheng picked her up.

He simply held her, nuzzled her hair with his chin, and softly coaxed her, "Go to sleep."

Playing all day is tiring, Lin Xi closed her eyes.

The farm was quiet, and Lin Xi nestled in the familiar, warm embrace, her breathing gradually becoming steady.

A rooster's crow broke the silence of dawn. Lin Xi stirred, but Duan Yiheng pulled her back around the waist and said, "Sleep a little longer."

Lin Xi nudged Duan Yiheng: "I think I heard someone talking."

Duan Yiheng tightened his grip on her waist: "They might be two elderly people."

The elderly person gets up early; they're probably already preparing breakfast.

"Isn't it inappropriate for us to get up too late at someone else's house?" Lin Xi nudged Duan Yiheng.

Duan Yiheng kneaded the soft flesh around her waist and resignedly opened her eyes.

Lin Xi jerked away from his hand, which was groping around.

Duan Yiheng gave a roguish laugh, and suddenly hurried footsteps sounded outside.

"Duan Yiheng, are you up yet?"

Duan Yiheng threw back the covers, got out of bed, opened the door, and went out, asking Lu Tong, "Did you find the person?"

Lu Tong's voice was loud: "Damn, he's in jail. He was caught gambling, and when he found out, he tried to leave, but the other party wouldn't let him. He got angry and started a fight, which ended up in the police station. It's a good thing this happened, otherwise it would have taken us a whole day to find him."

Duan Yiheng decisively said, "Please prepare a car for me, I'll handle it myself."
