Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 81 They've already kissed, can't they eat each other now?

Lin Xi only realized after entering the room that she had brought Duan Yiheng's suit with her.

I was about to leave when I thought about it and hung it up again.

I'll tell Sister Mei later and ask her to wash it clean and then deliver it to Duan Yiheng.

The idea had barely formed when there was a knock on the door.

At this time, only Sister Mei would care whether she wanted a late-night snack.

Without a second thought, Lin Xi opened the door.

Upon seeing Duan Yiheng standing at the door, he instinctively reached out to close it.

Duan Yiheng raised his foot to block him, saying, "I'll get the suit."

Lin Xi loosened the grip on his wrist and looked at him warily: "Then you wait at the door."

"What can I do to you?" Duan Yiheng felt that she was being overly defensive. "I didn't drink today."

Lin Xi ignored him, took off her suit jacket, and handed it to him.

Duan Yiheng didn't answer, but looking at her expression, he asked, "Are you angry?"

She wasn't exactly angry, but Duan Yiheng's noticeably lowered tone made it seem like he was coaxing her.

Lin Xi felt a little uncomfortable and silently shook her head: "I'm not angry. Is there anything else?"

The implication was that everything was fine and you could leave.

"Didn't you eat enough tonight?" Duan Yiheng's expression softened, his eyes filled with concern. "I asked Sister Mei to make some late-night snacks. Shall we go to your room and eat together?"

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Come to my room for dinner?"

Duan Yiheng slightly raised his chin: "Your terrace is nice, suitable for having late-night snacks, it's quite quiet."

Lin Xi declined, saying, "Your place is bigger and quieter."

"Alright then." Duan Yiheng picked up his suit jacket and pretended to turn around. "Then I'll take Qin Yang with me on the business trip next week."

"Wait a minute." Lin Xi quickly grabbed his arm. "What business trip are you talking about?"

"Did I say that?" Duan Yiheng's eyes held a hidden smile.

"..." Lin Xi pulled him into the room, "You said it."

Duan Yiheng responded with an "Oh".

"..."

Lin Xi gave a professional fake smile: "Why don't you come in and have something to eat?"

Duan Yiheng hesitated and said, "Forget it, my terrace is bigger and quieter."

"I'm happy to come to your place," Lin Xi said with a charming smile. "It would be my honor to have a late-night snack with you."

Duan Yiheng nodded in a mocking manner: "That was quite a flattery, but I was actually quite pleased to hear it."

Lin Xi cursed him repeatedly in her mind, but on the surface she remained enthusiastic and took the suit from his hand again.

With a smile on his lips, Duan Yiheng entered her bedroom openly for the first time.

However, he didn't look around, but went straight to the terrace.

There was another knock on the door, and Lin Xi was now absolutely certain it was Sister Mei.

"Come in."

Sister Mei smiled and told the servants behind her to take the late-night snack to the terrace. She smiled at Lin Xi and asked, "Has the young master managed to appease you?"

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Trying to fool me?"

Sister Mei: "Didn't he say it himself? He made you angry, and I said you have a good temper, so it must be his fault. I told him to come and coax you."

Lin Xi: "..."

The person did come over, but instead of coaxing them, they threatened them.

Can she report it?

"What? He didn't try to comfort you?"

"I've coaxed him a bit," Lin Xi said helplessly. "If I hadn't, would I have been able to have a late-night snack with him?"

Sister Mei then smiled again: "That's right, men shouldn't be spoiled. You guys eat, and I'll have someone clean up after you're done."

Lin Xi closed the door and went to the balcony.

Sister Mei prepared two late-night snacks. On the wooden tray was a bowl of soft and nourishing bird's nest porridge, four small and delicate shrimp dumplings, and a plate of red date and yam cake.

Lin Xi sat down opposite Duan Yiheng and asked without even eating, "What kind of business trip are you talking about?"

Duan Yiheng said, "Let's eat first."

Lin Xi had no choice but to pick up a piece of yam cake and eat it. It was warm and sweet. Her eyes lit up and she said, "The pastry chef at home makes such delicious things. The key is that the pastries look very ordinary, but they taste completely different."

Duan Yiheng smiled and said, "Just tell Sister Mei what you want to eat."

Lin Xi nodded and obediently responded.

Eating something good immediately changed my mood, and I even found Duan Yiheng more agreeable.

Lin Xi didn't say anything more, and in the end, only a shrimp dumpling and a piece of red date and yam cake were left.

Duan Yiheng looked up and asked, "Can't you eat anymore?"

"Yes, I'm full."

Duan Yiheng silently finished the rest of her food.

Lin Xi was taken aback for a moment: "Even though I didn't touch it with my chopsticks, doesn't this still count as my leftovers?"

Duan Yiheng has never eaten leftovers from other people's plates since he was a child.

Duan Yiheng chuckled: "We've already kissed, can't we eat each other now?"

Lin Xi: "...You should eat."

I don't know what got into me today, but I kept saying things that were impossible to continue the conversation with.

Lin Xi didn't intend to argue with him and said, "We've eaten, can you talk now?"

Duan Yiheng knew that if he didn't speak up, Lin Xi would definitely kick him out.

He pushed the tray aside, leaned forward slightly, looked at Lin Xi, and said, "It's a cross-border payment project based on blockchain technology in cooperation with a bank. It's expected to take five to three days."

Lin Xi asked, "Who will be going together?"

Duan Yiheng: "I'll go first. If things go smoothly initially, I'll bring the technical team and legal negotiators to have a formal discussion."

Lin Xi: "After the initial discussion, can we establish a joint project team?"

Duan Yiheng nodded: "If all goes well, we can confirm it on the second trip."

Lin Xi: "What can I do?"

Duan Yiheng: "Itinerary planning is a must, and another thing is to collect information and feedback."

Lin Xi naturally knew all of this, including the other party's background, business, market positioning, and so on. Duan Yiheng would formulate a negotiation strategy based on this information.

"Which day of next week? Where are you going on business?" Lin Xi asked.

Duan Yiheng: "Tuesday, near the market."

Lin Xi blinked uncertainly: "Then will you take me with you?"

"You've already eaten with me, so of course I'll take you," Duan Yiheng said with a smile. "We can set aside some time to do some sightseeing along the way."

Lin Xi was overjoyed when he heard that he would take her along.

"I have to go to work tomorrow, and you..."

Duan Yiheng stood up, shook his head, and said, "It's like using something and then throwing it away."

Lin Xi didn't care what he was thinking. As long as he took her with him on the business trip, it meant she could get involved in the project.

Lin Xi asked Sister Mei to clear away the dishes, intending to digest before going to sleep.

At the same time, in a nightclub.

Duan Mingxuan's face was flushed from drinking, and Yu Lang listened quietly to his complaints.

"Lin Xi forgave you, is that something to be so happy about?"

“You don’t understand,” Duan Mingxuan said. “I went too far this time. I didn’t expect her to forgive me so quickly.”

Yu Lang complained, "Duan Mingxuan, I know you and Lin Xi have a good relationship. Anyone who didn't know would think you're head over heels in love with her."

"But your grandfather insisted that the two of you get married, and you said she was your sister. Actually, I once thought you would end up with Lin Xi, but then Momo came along."

Duan Mingxuan was stunned. He loved Lin Xi to death.
