Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 107 When are you finally moving out?

Lin Xi didn't get up until after ten o'clock. Duan Yiheng had asked for a day off for her, so she wasn't in a hurry to get up.

Lin Xi turned her gaze slightly and was taken aback.

There was a gift box on the bedside table, with a note on it.

She sat up, took the things to her side, and placed them by the bed.

The strokes on the note were strong and unrestrained; Lin Xi recognized it as Duan Yiheng's handwriting—"I'm going to a meeting at the group. I'll be back at noon. You rest well and don't go downstairs."

Lin Xi smiled, put the note aside, and untied the large pink bow on the gift box.

Inside the box was a new cell phone.

"You could have just given me the phone directly, why bother putting it in a gift box?" Lin Xi seemed to be complaining, but she was actually quite pleased.

She opened the phone box, changed the SIM card, and sent the first message to Duan Yiheng.

Duan Yiheng was in a meeting at the time. He smiled knowingly when he saw the message pop up, which made Duan Zheng frown.

A new phone always feels new, but unfortunately, her old phone was broken, so her photos couldn't be recovered, and there was no backup.

She has two photos of Duan Yiheng on her phone: one taken at No. 1 North District on his birthday, and the other of the calligraphy hanging in his office.

The calligraphy can be photographed again, but what about the photos?

She remembered sending the photo to Duan Yiheng, but she didn't know if he had saved it.

There was a knock on the door. Lin Xi stopped texting and said to the door, "Come in."

Sister Mei came in with a tray and said, "The young master told you to rest, and I guessed you'd be awake around this time, so I brought you some food to tide you over."

"Thank you, Sister Mei." Lin Xi put her phone and the note on the pillow, then got up and went to the coffee table in the lounge area.

Sister Mei put down the food but didn't leave. Lin Xi noticed that she looked confused and hesitant.

Lin Xi asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Sister Mei replied. "I... I just wanted to ask what you'd like to eat for lunch."

Lin Xi chuckled: "Sister Mei, I just ate breakfast."

Sister Mei nodded hesitantly: "Then you eat first."

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi asked. "If there's anything you need, tell me, or tell your older brother."

Sister Mei frowned upon hearing the words "elder brother".

After going downstairs, she subconsciously started walking north, but after only a couple of steps, she abruptly stopped.

Last night, the young master completely blocked the young lady's view. Although he kissed her, it's possible he kissed her forehead.

Mei subconsciously defended them in her heart.

"Sister Mei, where's Xiao Xi?"

Mei Jie was startled by the sudden sound. Seeing that it was Duan Mingxuan, she quickly stepped forward to stop him: "The eldest young lady is still sleeping. Second young master, you should not disturb her."

"I don't believe it," Duan Mingxuan said. "It must have been Duan Yiheng who told you to stop me."

Sister Mei: "What do you need Miss for?"

Duan Mingxuan: "Of course I have something to do. Please don't try to stop me. I can never stop you."

Sister Mei choked, watching helplessly as he pushed her hand away and ran upstairs.

He used to come to the West Building once a year, but ever since the eldest young lady moved in, the second young master has been coming over every few days.

Mei sighed helplessly, then remembered Duan Yiheng's instructions and sent him a message.

Duan Mingxuan went upstairs and pushed open Lin Xi's door.

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Why didn't you knock?"

Duan Mingxuan: "I can tell from Sister Mei's expression that you're definitely awake. How are you? Still feeling dizzy?"

Lin Xi put down her chopsticks and shook her head: "Why did you come here?"

Duan Mingxuan sat down on the sofa opposite her, glancing up at her from time to time.

Lin Xi: "...Speak your mind."

“I’ve broken up with Zhang Mo. This time it’s a complete breakup.” Duan Mingxuan glanced at her. “She will never appear in front of you again.”

Lin Xi: "She's willing?"

He was naturally unwilling, and a dark look flashed across Duan Mingxuan's eyes.

After he slapped Zhang Mo across the face with harsh words, Zhang Mo, her face streaked with tears, accused him:

"Duan Mingxuan, you said yourself that you would never let me down in this lifetime, and I believed you. Why are you treating me like this now?"

"I almost lost my life to save you, but in the end, nothing compares to Lin Xi's grievances?"

"She used to like you, but she said she's moved on. Why are you still chasing after her?"

"Don't tell me you've always liked Lin Xi?"

Duan Mingxuan wanted to refute, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Zhang Mo gave a cold laugh, tears streaming down her face again: "Duan Mingxuan, are you fucking crazy? You really like her?"

Duan Mingxuan himself couldn't understand it, but when he thought of Lin Xi's grievances over the past five years, his heart ached.

He wished he could go back five years and embrace all her vulnerabilities.

In fact, the moment he learned the truth, he hated Chen Baiwei.

After not hearing Duan Mingxuan speak for a while, Zhang Mo completely broke down, smashing the Hermes bag he had bought against his chest, and went into a frenzy of hysteria:

"You can't even tell the difference between love and family, and you're still trying to ruin me? I've really... really fallen in love with you."

"Duan Mingxuan, how could you do this to me?"

Duan Mingxuan felt utterly helpless, and could only say "I'm sorry" to her with a guilty expression.

"I will compensate you for whatever you want, the only condition is that you must leave City B. If you don't leave, I can't help you."

Zhang Mo looked at him in disbelief: "Are you really that heartless?"

Duan Mingxuan: "Duan Yiheng will not let you get away with this."

Zhang Mo immediately understood that everything was caused by her momentary jealousy.

Duan Mingxuan might be soft-hearted towards her because he saved her life, but Duan Yiheng is someone she can't afford to offend.

Zhang Mo was truly unwilling, but fearing Duan Yiheng's ruthless methods, she had no choice but to leave B City overnight.

Duan Mingxuan snapped out of his thoughts and said to Lin Xi, "She has already left City B."

Lin Xi responded with an "Oh".

"Xiao Xi, I know I was wrong this time." Duan Mingxuan got up and sat next to her, looking at her intently. "But I don't want to owe her anything."

Lin Xi didn't actually care.

She smiled and replied dismissively, "I know, it's all in the past, why are you bringing it up again?"

Seeing that she seemed to be getting angry, Duan Mingxuan quickly said, "I won't mention it anymore. I will never let anyone hurt you in the slightest in the future."

Lin Xi simply scooped up a spoonful of oatmeal pumpkin soup.

Distracted, I took too much and it got on the corner of my lips.

Duan Mingxuan reacted quickly, raising his hand to wipe her hands: "How old are you? You still manage to freeload at meals."

Lin Xi was startled and instinctively stepped aside, her brows furrowed with annoyance: "What are you doing?"

Duan Mingxuan was also taken aback by her evasive behavior and explained, "I just saw that there was something on your lips and wiped it for you. Why are you reacting so strongly? I've never seen you like this before."

Lin Xi pursed her lips awkwardly: "Don't do that next time, I'm not used to it."

“You used to need me to feed you when you were little.” Duan Mingxuan was a little annoyed by her action of creating distance between them.

Lin Xi glared at him: "That was when I was a child."

Duan Mingxuan chuckled softly, "Have you become shy as you've grown up? If you'd like, I can still feed you."

Lin Xi sighed silently; Duan Yiheng would be back soon.

She gets jealous even of Han Zicheng, who is completely unrelated to her, let alone Duan Mingxuan.

"If you have nothing else to do, you can leave now. I'm feeling a bit dizzy and need to rest," Lin Xi said, giving him the hint to leave.

"I'll ask you one last question," Duan Mingxuan said, "when are you finally moving out?"

Duan Yiheng paused, waved to Sister Mei who was following behind him, and gestured for her to go downstairs.

He was very eager to know Lin Xi's answer.
