Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 269 IF Line (1)

With the help of the restaurant staff, Lin Xi angrily escaped through the back door.

"Come pick me up quickly." Lin Xi turned to the shade by the roadside, facing the scorching sun. "I'm so tired of being pestered. They've even followed me all the way to City B."

Liang Yutong said on her phone, "Send me your location, I'll be there within half an hour."

"Half an hour?" Lin Xi wailed, "Faster, please!"

Liang Yutong: "Ancestor, I'm almost there. Send me your location."

Lin Xi hung up the phone and sent her location to Liang Yutong.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a blue figure chasing after me from the back door of the restaurant. She hurriedly covered her face with her bag and ran towards the intersection ahead.

Desperate to escape the young master who was pestering her, Lin Xi didn't notice the road conditions and stepped onto the zebra crossing.

The Phantom, which had already turned the corner, was suddenly hit and stopped abruptly.

The driver swallowed hard and met Duan Yiheng's gaze in the rearview mirror: "Mr. Duan, it seems like someone is trying to stage an accident."

Duan Yiheng gave him a look: "Go down and take a look."

Lin Xi plopped down on the ground, scraping his elbow.

Upon seeing this, the driver said coldly, "Miss, you ran a red light."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Xi gave an awkward laugh: "Excuse me, I'll move aside right away."

Seeing that she was still sitting, the driver tilted his head slightly, as if to say, "Why aren't you moving?"

Lin Xi was on the verge of tears: "Heh... I sprained my ankle."

Driver: "...Are you trying to stage an accident?"

"Who's trying to scam me?" Lin Xi suddenly raised her voice. "Do I look like I'm short of money?"

The driver was also in a dilemma. Although Lin Xi had suddenly appeared, she had still hit someone.

He said, "Wait a moment."

He turned around and went to ask for instructions.

The driver rolled down the window of the Phantom and explained Lin Xi's situation.

Duan Yiheng frowned slightly: "Let her come up. We're going to the hospital."

The driver respectfully conveyed his message to Lin Xi. Lin Xi didn't want to trouble others, but her ardent suitor just happened to follow her.

"Lin Xi, why are you running?"

The piercing sound made Lin Xi reach out to the driver: "Quick, driver, help me into the car."

The driver quickly helped her up. Lin Xi limped and hurriedly climbed into the back seat. When she turned around, she met the eyes of a tricolor lilac Border Collie.

Startled, she took a step back, smashing the car window with a loud bang.

"Hiss." Lin Xi covered her head, thinking that today was really unlucky.

"Rocky".

Suddenly a warm, deep voice came, and while Lin Xi was still in a daze, the Border Collie obediently lay down next to the man's legs.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xi met a pair of deep, dark, and bright eyes.

The man was extremely handsome, with well-defined features, deep-set eyes, and a striking facial contour. His eyes held a nonchalant and aloof air when he looked at people.

"I'm sorry," Lin Xi apologized instinctively.

Duan Yiheng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "Hmm?"

He seemed not to understand why she apologized.

Lin Xi said, "Please drop me off at the intersection ahead; my friend will come to pick me up."

Duan Yiheng stared intently at her, making Lin Xi feel uneasy. He then turned his gaze away and said, "I'm free, I'll take you to the hospital."

Lin Xi was about to say no when her phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was Liang Yutong, she immediately answered the call.

Where are you? Why is your shared location constantly moving?

Lin Xi whispered, "I accidentally bumped into someone's car while crossing the street, and he's taking me to the hospital now."

Liang Yutong was startled and quickly asked, "Are you alright? Why don't you even look where you're going when you cross the street?"

Lin Xi: "Why would I answer your call if I had something to do? It's because that idiot was chasing me that I didn't see the red light on the other side."

"Then you go to the hospital first, I'll be there right away."

"I'm really fine," Lin Xi said. "I'll stop at the next intersection, come find me."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi asked the driver to cross the road and stop the car.

The driver glanced at Duan Yiheng, who nodded.

The red light was rather long, and the carriage was quiet and awkward. Taking advantage of Duan Yiheng's inattention, Lin Xi made a face at Rocky.

Rocky barked twice, and Lin Xi subconsciously straightened her back.

Duan Yiheng turned his head away, and Lin Xi gave him a dry laugh: "It's quite cute, I'll tease it a bit."

Rocky barked twice more and rubbed his head against Duan Yiheng's trouser leg, as if he were very aggrieved.

After the Phantom crossed the road, the driver found a place to park.

Just as Lin Xi was about to get out of the car, Duan Yiheng called out to her, "Wait a minute."

Lin Xi turned around suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Duan Yiheng said, "There's a first-aid kit in the car. Let's disinfect it before we leave."

Lin Xi raised her elbow to look and accepted his kindness; otherwise, if her parents saw this back at the hotel, she would inevitably be scolded.

I came to City B with my parents this time because we have a collaboration with a local group.

She has already graduated, and since she is the only child in her family, her father hopes to take her to study in various places.

Her friend Liang Yutong is a local; the two met at a jewelry event.

She had arranged to have dinner with Liang Yutong, but Liang Yutong had something come up and stood her up.

Lin Xi hadn't even eaten when she was startled by a suitor who suddenly appeared.

The other party is also from H City, so we're in the same social circle, and our parents have some connection.

Lin Xi disliked this outgoing personality and tried to avoid him as much as possible.

Her stomach rumbled loudly; Lin Xi was so hungry her stomach was practically sticking to her back. She subconsciously looked at Duan Yiheng, feeling a little embarrassed.

Duan Yiheng paused, holding the cotton swabs, and instructed the driver, "Go out and buy a light meal, something convenient and easy to carry."

The driver responded and immediately got out of the car to take care of it.

Now that everyone had gotten off the bus, Lin Xi didn't want to be coy anymore, so she said to Duan Yiheng, "Thank you. How about I add you on WeChat and transfer the money to you?"

Duan Yiheng ignored her and said, "Hold out your hand, I'll disinfect it for you."

Lin Xi thought to himself: This person is quite nice.

The abrasion was on her joint, which was a little out of her reach, so she reached out her hand.

Duan Yiheng had never served anyone before, and he didn't know his own strength. Lin Xi hissed and subconsciously complained, "Be gentle."

Lin Xi was from the South, and her voice was soft and sweet. Even when she complained, it had no power over others.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was being coquettish.

Duan Yiheng's fingers paused slightly, and when he pressed down again, he noticeably reduced the force.

The driver was very fast. After disinfecting Lin Xi's elbow, he knocked on the back door.

"Miss, I've bought you a beef burger and a drink, is that alright?"

Lin Xi was deeply moved when he saved her from starving at a critical moment.

She thanked Duan Yiheng and got out of the car with the hamburger the driver had bought for her.

Only after seeing her friend arrive did Duan Yiheng instruct the driver to start the car.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "You seem to be in a good mood today."

Under normal circumstances, they might take the person to the hospital, but they would never apply medicine or buy food for them.

Duan Yiheng knew what he wanted to say and chuckled softly: "She is the daughter of Lin Qinghuai, the chairman of Guangxi Technology."

The driver was taken aback: "Is this the young lady the old man asked you to find a match for?"

Duan Yiheng nodded slowly. His grandfather, fearing he might not agree to the marriage proposal, had sent him the girl's photo early that morning.

Lin Xi's photo is still in his phone's photo album.
