Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 221 Can't it be covered up?

The glass outside the high walls of the Imperial Seal of Heaven had withstood the midday heat, and the reflections were no longer intense and glaring.

The curtains inside the room were suddenly half-open, revealing only a small part of the foot of the bed.

There was a sudden movement under the covers. Duan Yiheng clamped Lin Xi's legs together, turned to the side to support his body, and kissed her on the face.

Lin Xi, still half-asleep, turned around and snuggled into Duan Yiheng's arms again.

"It's two o'clock," Duan Yiheng's voice was low and husky from just waking up. "Afternoon."

Lin Xi groaned reluctantly.

Duan Yiheng touched her stomach under the thin blanket: "Aren't you hungry?"

Lin Xi's legs trembled. Since last night, this was the sentence she had heard most often.

"I'm not hungry," Lin Xi said in a hoarse voice.

Duan Yiheng said, "Shall I bring lunch over?"

Lin Xi turned over: "I'm not eating. Go and tidy up the living room first."

Duan Yiheng had just said he would call someone to clean up when he remembered what the two of them had done on the sofa last night, so he stopped himself.

I was so excited by her calling me "Big Brother" twice last night that I couldn't sleep all night. I just quickly gave them both a bath and managed to fall asleep as dawn broke.

Duan Yiheng got out of bed to wash up, changed into his pajamas, and then went to clean up the mess in the living room by himself.

The things on the coffee table are easy to tidy up, but the sofa and the blanket underneath need to be washed.

He folded the blanket and had it taken away to be washed, and he personally consulted the housekeeper about making the sofa himself.

An hour had passed before everything was cleaned up.

Duan Yiheng went to the bedroom and saw that Lin Xi was still asleep. He hardened his heart and dragged her out of bed.

Lin Xi fell into his arms, feeling dizzy.

Duan Yiheng touched her head; it wasn't hot. He said softly, "You can't sleep anymore. Get up and eat something."

Lin Xi leaned against him and replied, "Is the living room ready?"

"The carpet has been sent to be washed, and I personally wiped the sofa." Duan Yiheng stroked her long hair gently. "Is there anything else you need, Miss?"

Lin Xi chuckled, "I'd like some spicy food."

"Okay," Duan Yiheng said, "but not too spicy, is mildly spicy enough?"

Lin Xi: "Okay."

Duan Yiheng patted her on the back: "Get up and wash up. I'll call the restaurant."

Lin Xi got out of bed and went straight to the dressing room, changed into her pajamas, and then went to wash up.

She pulled her long hair up, revealing her smooth, white neck. When she raised her head, the marks on her neck were visible.

Two or three, of varying shades.

Lin Xi brushed her teeth angrily, wiped her face casually, and headed to the living room: "Duan Yiheng."

Duan Yiheng heard Lin Xi calling him from afar and immediately strode over to meet her: "What's wrong?"

"What do you think?" Lin Xi put her hands on her hips and pointed to her neck. "It's so hot today, and you want me to wear a turtleneck?"

Duan Yiheng felt a moment of guilt. He stepped forward, touched it, and asked, "Can't it cover up?"

In that situation, who could have endured it?

Lin Xi's eyes darted around, as if remembering something, and she said, "Can I take the next two days off?"

Duan Yiheng narrowed his eyes. Lin Xi wouldn't take leave for such a trivial matter.

"Is it okay?" Lin Xi asked him. "The letter of intent for cooperation with Likang has already been signed. Their sales department is going on vacation abroad later, so I'll just ask for two days off."

Duan Yiheng readily agreed: "Okay."

"Is the food ready?" Lin Xi smiled contentedly. "Let's eat in the dining room. I'm going to my bedroom to get my phone."

She doesn't even have the courage to go to the living room now.

Lin Xi turned and went to the bedroom, where she found Meng Huaishan's number on her phone and dialed it.

The other party answered quickly, sounding surprised: "Why are you calling me?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Brother Meng, I want to ask you something about An Qi."

Meng Huaishan had just helped Duan Yiheng confirm An Qi's identity some time ago, so he naturally knew the details.

He thought for a moment, then asked Lin Xi, "What do you want to ask?"

Lin Xi said, "I just wanted to ask about her schedule, whether she has any regular places to go?"

Meng Huaishan asked, "What are you planning to do? Does Yi Heng know?"

Lin Xi said, "I mentioned to him before that the equity transfer was imminent, and I wanted to secure some protection for myself."

Meng Huaishan understood almost immediately.

He told Lin Xi, "Every Thursday afternoon from three to five o'clock, she goes to the Dingfan Children's Art Exhibition Hall to attend an art appreciation course, accompanied by a nanny and two bodyguards."

Lin Xi thanked him and then hung up the phone.

Children's art exhibition?

Lin Xi rested her chin on her phone. If she ran into An Qi several times, even if it wasn't intentional, the nanny and driver would definitely be wary of her.

She couldn't very well get involved in this matter.

Lin Xi opened her phone and sent a message to Liang Yutong.

The other party replied quickly, and Lin Xi asked her if she had time tomorrow.

Liang Yutong was indeed quite free, and readily agreed.

Duan Yiheng knocked on the door at that moment: "Come and eat."

Lin Xi turned off her phone, turned around and asked, "What did you order?"

Duan Yiheng said, "Come and see for yourself."

Lin Xi followed him to the restaurant, and when she saw the small portion of Sichuan-style saliva chicken, her mouth watered.

"Eat something else to fill your stomach first." Duan Yiheng handed her chopsticks. "I'll get you a bowl of soup first."

Lin Xi nodded slightly: "I have an appointment to meet with Yutong tomorrow."

Duan Yiheng didn't interfere and nodded: "Come home early tonight, I'll be waiting for you at home."

Lin Xi chuckled, "I've made this place my home."

"Wrong." Duan Yiheng pinched her chin and kissed her. "You're not here, and this isn't home. This place is too small. After we get married, we'll buy a new place. What kind of place do you like to live in?"

Lin Xi said, "It's a bit small, but it's close to work, which is convenient."

Duan Yiheng said, "From now on, let the driver drive so we don't have to work so hard."

Lin Xi: "We'll talk about that later."

Before Duan Yiheng could say anything more, his phone suddenly rang.

It was Meng Huaishan on the phone. He patted Lin Xi on the head, signaling her to eat first.

Lin Xi saw his caller ID. She hadn't intended to hide it from Duan Yiheng anyway, so she just kept her head down and ate her meal.

Duan Yiheng was on the phone in front of the living room's French windows, his body slightly turned to the side, glancing occasionally at Lin Xi who was eating.

"I've found someone for you, when are we going to get it done?" Meng Huaishan said over the phone.

Duan Yiheng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said, "Tomorrow night."

Meng Huaishan: "Okay, I'll bring some people over tomorrow night to install it for you."

On their day off, Lin Xi and Duan Yiheng stayed home all day.

The following morning, after Duan Yiheng went to work, Lin Xi went out to see Liang Yutong.

Liang Yutong readily agreed: "Isn't that simple? Look up that children's art exhibition. I'll ask my cousin; her child is about the same age as Anqi you mentioned."

Lin Xi: "Having a child naturally makes it easier for the other party to lower their guard."

Liang Yutong: "Leave it to me."

Lin Xi and Liang Yutong had dinner outside before going home.

Back at Tian Du Yu Xi, she paused as soon as she entered the house; there was a very unfamiliar smell in the air.

Has Duan Yiheng finished get off work?

Lin Xi walked inside and saw Meng Huaishan sitting on the sofa in the living room with a strange man, who was also holding one of her shoes.

Duan Yiheng was sitting opposite them.

Lin Xi walked over: "What's going on?"
