Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 260 Extra 4

Three hours later, Lin Xi was carried out of the bathroom by Duan Yiheng, like a willow branch with its tender buds plucked.

Lin Xi didn't even have the strength to glare at anyone.

"I'll ask Sister Mei to bring up dinner."

Lin Xi gave a small "hmm".

When Sister Mei saw Duan Yiheng come down, she went up to him and said, "The soup has been simmering for a while, but the taste of this dish has gone bad."

Duan Yiheng said, "It's okay, no meat, send everything else upstairs to the living room."

"Ok."

"Lin Xi is too thin. Could you try to improve her diet?" Duan Yiheng frowned.

Just now in the bathtub, she seemed so thin and frail.

“I was just talking to Miss about this a couple of days ago,” Sister Mei replied immediately. “She said it’s easy to gain weight but hard to lose it.”

Duan Yiheng: "...She's already so thin, why does she still need to lose weight?"

Sister Mei chuckled: "She might get married in a year or two, so there's nothing wrong with her wanting to maintain her figure. Although the dress can be altered once it's made, it's still a hassle."

Duan Yiheng was taken aback: "She still had this intention?"

Sister Mei: "Girls love to look beautiful, but we should also respect that."

Duan Yiheng was both amused and exasperated: "Marriage is still a long way off. Never mind, I'll go upstairs and talk to her myself."

Sister Mei: "It's still what you said, Miss, that you take it seriously."

"Hurry up and bring the food up."

"I'll deliver it right away."

Duan Yiheng turned and went upstairs, where he told Lin Xi his thoughts.

Lin Xi frowned as expected: "It's not like you're wearing the wedding dress, and it's not like you're the one who's going to lose weight."

Duan Yiheng kissed her: "Don't I have to get my abs back?"

Lin Xi suddenly smiled: "It's really gone."

Duan Yiheng assured, "We'll see the results in a month."

Lin Xi immediately felt sorry for you: "Actually, I don't mind that you have a beer belly. Working is tiring enough, and exercising is also high-intensity. There's no need for that."

"I can't even stand it myself," Duan Yiheng said. "I'm adjusting your diet not to make you gain weight, but to make you healthier. Besides, if we want to have children in the future, shouldn't we both be in good health?"

Lin Xi's cheeks flushed: "You're thinking really far ahead."

Duan Yiheng said, "Actually, it's not that far. The first time I saw you, you were only six years old. It's hard to believe you've grown up so much."

"So, you've watched me grow up," Lin Xi joked.

"I watched you grow up." Duan Yiheng pulled her up. "Put on your pajamas and robe, let's go out for dinner."

Lin Xi helped him put on his clothes and went to the living room to eat with Duan Yiheng.

Halfway through the meal, Liang Yutong called: "Are you free tomorrow? Want to grab a bite to eat together?"

Lin Xi said, "I'm on vacation when I have time."

"That's great."

"I don't really want to go out. Just come to my house and find me. I'm home alone anyway."

"Row."

Bored on her vacation, Liang Yutong coming to visit her would be a good way to kill another day.

After finishing her meal, Lin Xi took a shower and went to sleep.

The next day, Liang Yutong rushed over and, seeing Lin Xi's rosy complexion, smiled and said, "You're living a good life."

Lin Xi rolled her eyes at her: "What do you want?"

Liang Yutong: "How can you say that? You can calculate how long it's been since I last saw you."

I met her once in the hospital room, and she had specifically asked Duan Yiheng for that.

“You’re busy too,” Lin Xi said. “I heard your uncle is planning to let you join the company. What do you think about that?”

Liang Yutong sighed, "I have to go in whether I want to or not. It's the old man's life's work. Mu Shuo said he could be a live-in son-in-law, but I scolded him for it."

Lin Xi chuckled: "That's great, Miss Liang's charm is as strong as ever."

"You're laughing at me too." Liang Yutong snorted. "I came here today because I have something troubling me that I want to talk to you about. Besides you, I don't know who else to talk to."

Liang Yutong has more than one friend, Lin Xi, but it seems that Lin Xi is the only one she can confide in.

Lin Xi gave her a look that said, "I knew it."

"You know Mu Shuo is relentlessly pursuing me. He hasn't even won me over yet, but he's already won over my mom. Since my mom has been won over, my dad naturally wouldn't dare to object."

Lin Xi asked, puzzled, "Isn't everything fine? What's bothering you?"

Liang Yutong sighed: "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy. My relationship with Zheng Jianian has lasted for so many years, and he still betrayed me just like that. I'm a little afraid."

"Be brave," Lin Xi said. "I asked Duan Yiheng about Mu Shuo. He looks young, but he's actually very reliable."

"He wanted to marry you, probably for many years. He originally thought Zheng Jianian was an insurmountable wall between you and him, but who knew that Zheng Jianian would leave on his own."

"You can't blame him for being impatient, can you?"

Liang Yutong: "I know his family is quite satisfied with me, it's just that I haven't figured it out myself."

Lin Xi comforted her, "Good things come to those who wait. It's not wrong for you to overthink it. It's good that Mu Shuo understands."

Liang Yutong leaned against Lin Xi: "What about you? When are you and Duan Yiheng getting married?"

Lin Xi said, "I last saw my maternal grandmother and aunt. The earliest I can see them is the end of next year or the spring of the year after next."

"There are many details to prepare before the wedding, not to mention so many guests to invite and the seating arrangements require a lot of thought, but these are handled by professionals, so it's not a big deal."

Lin Xi: "But I heard that the wedding day is very tiring."

Liang Yutong: "I've never been married, so I don't know."

Lin Xi joked, "Then let's try getting married once."

"Try getting married again," Liang Yutong retorted. "If you're so capable, say that to Duan Yiheng's face."

Lin Xi quickly added, "Just kidding."

"What a coward." Liang Yutong popped a strawberry into her mouth, then suddenly asked, "Is Duan Mingxuan really not coming back?"

Lin Xi: "Why did you suddenly ask him?"

Liang Yutong: "Yu Lang and Mu Shuo were drinking together and casually started talking about Duan Mingxuan. Yu Lang kept cursing him for being disloyal and useless."

Lin Xi sighed, "I never expected him to do this."

Liang Yutong understood Lin Xi's personality and comforted her, "This is his own choice. It just means you two are not meant to be. Xiao Xi, you will be happy with Duan Yiheng."

Lin Xi naturally knew this, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the cruel twist of fate.

Liang Yutong stayed until dusk before leaving. Lin Xi looked at the sunset and decided to move to Tiandu Yuxi tomorrow and start work the day after.

Otherwise, staying at home would be really boring.

Duan Yiheng fully supported her decision, and the next evening, he went directly to the Imperial Seal of the Capital.

The villa was vacated, and Sister Liu Mei and some workers were left to guard it, officially entering the construction phase.

Three days later, one evening, Lin Xi was chatting with Duan Yiheng about what to eat for dinner when her phone suddenly rang.

Lin Xi stared at the number for a moment, took a deep breath, and answered: "Hello, this is Lin Xi, the sales manager of Yinfan Technology."

The notification from the bidding party came through the phone: "Congratulations, you have successfully won the bid."

Lin Xi was momentarily stunned by her outburst. After calming down, she composed herself and thanked him.

She then immediately got up, opened the office door, and notified everyone that the scenic area's projects had been taken down.

The sales department was immediately excited; all the hard work these past few days had been worthwhile.

Lin Xi turned and went back to her office, hiding her excitement, and called Duan Yiheng.
