Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 251 8 years

Duan Mingxuan couldn't stand up, and Chen Baiwei couldn't bear to see him like that, so she ran over to ask the doctor, "How was the surgery?"

The doctor nodded: "The surgery was successful. The bullet has been removed, and the organs are fine. The patient's vital signs are currently stable, but he is still in a critical period and needs to be transferred to the ICU for 48 hours of observation."

Duan Mingxuan slammed his fist on the hospital chair, his lips trembled, and he burst into tears.

Chen Baiwei patted his head tenderly: "Are you better now? Come with me to get your wound treated."

Duan Mingxuan refused to leave: "What's a little scratch on my hand? I want to wait for Lin Xi to wake up at the hospital."

"She can only be transferred to a regular ward after 48 hours of critical period. You should at least take some time to tidy yourself up."

Duan Mingxuan looked down at himself; he was disheveled and covered in blood.

He then got up and ran out, and Chen Baiwei couldn't stop him no matter how much she called.

Duan Yiheng woke up that afternoon, with only Uncle Deng by his side. Before he could speak, Uncle Deng grabbed his wrist and said:

"Miss is alright, the surgery was successful, and the second young master is watching over her."

Just as Duan Yiheng was about to speak, there was a knock on the ward door. When Uncle Deng saw that it was a policeman, he turned around and let him in.

The police officer asked a few words of concern and then explained the purpose of their visit: "We are conducting a routine inquiry, and we hope you can understand."

Uncle Deng asked, "Has the suspect confessed yet?"

Police officer: "The source of the gun has been found out. We came here to confirm some details with Mr. Duan, because the other party claims that Mr. Duan deliberately shot him with a gun, which does not fall under the category of legitimate self-defense."

Uncle Deng answered for Duan Yiheng: "Isn't there CCTV footage at the scene?"

The police said, "The surveillance camera was damaged by a gunshot. Liao Minshan admitted that the shot missed when he and Mr. Duan were fighting over the gun."

Duan Yiheng slightly raised his hand: "Uncle Deng, let them ask."

The police officer nodded slightly to Duan Yiheng to express his gratitude.

No matter what they asked, Duan Yiheng cooperated. They were simply asking about the process and his subjective intentions when he used the gun.

Before leaving, the police officer said, "Chen Jingyi has a history of mental illness, and her final outcome may be that she will be sent to a mental hospital."

Duan Yiheng thought of Lin Xi, his eyes flashing with emotion, and he nodded: "Understood."

"I want to see Lin Xi," Duan Yiheng said to Uncle Deng after the police left.

Uncle Deng shook his head: "Let me show you the video. Miss is still asleep, and you can't get out of bed."

Duan Yiheng nodded.

Upon seeing Lin Xi in the video, Duan Yiheng smiled silently.

They are still alive.

He really wanted to hug her.

Duan Yiheng's injuries were less severe than Lin Xi's, and he was transferred to a regular ward the next day.

At the same time, Lin Xi also woke up.

Duan Mingxuan was overjoyed, finally able to relax after a day and a night of anxiety.

However, Lin Xi was seriously injured and stayed in the intensive care unit for three more days before being transferred out.

The moment she saw Duan Yiheng, she burst into tears, feeling wronged.

Duan Yiheng felt heartbroken and gently wiped away her tears, softly coaxing, "Don't cry, we're still alive."

All of Duan Mingxuan's concern was stuck in her throat; she no longer saw him.

Duan Mingxuan left the ward looking dejected, with Chen Baiwei following closely behind. They met Duan Zheng at the end of the corridor.

Chen Baiwei had already heard about Ke Yu's situation, and she asked Duan Zheng, "When are we going to get a divorce?"

Duan Zheng said, "I'm sorry, I'll wait until I've finished handling Ke Yu's funeral arrangements."

Chen Baiwei felt a deep pain and depression in her heart, but she knew that Duan Zheng would not stay for An Qi's sake.

But she values ​​her son even more.

Arriving at the hospital flowerbed, Chen Baiwei sat down next to Duan Mingxuan.

"Do you really like Lin Xi?"

Duan Mingxuan's eyes reddened: "Mom, you don't know how I felt when I saw her get shot. I wish I was the one lying there."

Chen Baiwei patted his hand: "So what do you plan to do now?"

Duan Mingxuan smiled bitterly: "What else can I do? She's risking her life for Duan Yiheng. Her eyes, her heart, her future... they're not filled with me."

Chen Baiwei comforted him, "You should understand Lin Xi's personality. Even if it were you that day, she would have gone back to save you."

Duan Mingxuan's spirits lifted: "Really?"

Chen Baiwei nodded: "If you don't believe me, you can ask her. I believe she will give you the same answer."

“Mingxuan, you have known each other for eighteen years. No matter what, no one can deny this relationship, not even Lin Xi herself.”

"Eighteen years," Duan Mingxuan murmured to himself, repeating it over and over.

Since it is an established fact that Lin Xi belongs to Duan Yiheng, can he ask for Lin Xi's eighteen days to live the rest of his life?

In the ward, Lin Xi and Duan Yiheng held hands tightly.

Duan Yiheng had no intention of blaming him, but he still asked, "Why did you come back?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Didn't I come back to save you?"

Duan Yiheng held her hand in his palm and kissed it: "If this is the way it is, I would rather you go with Duan Mingxuan."

“But I can’t live without you.” Lin Xi said, on the verge of tears again. “I can’t let every important person in my life leave me. If something happens to you, I really don’t know how I will go on living.”

“Don’t say things like that,” Duan Yiheng said. “You’re still young. You should live for yourself, not for others.”

"Then I'll start living for myself again from now on, okay?" Lin Xi stroked his face.

"You're always trying to cheat on me." Duan Yiheng bit her finger, but very lightly, of course.

Lin Xi frowned, and Duan Yiheng, thinking he had bitten her too hard, panicked for a moment: "Did you bite too hard?"

Lin Xi shook her head: "The wound hurts."

Duan Yiheng said, "Don't move, rest for a while."

Lin Xi nodded and fell asleep holding Duan Yiheng's hand.

During Lin Xi's hospitalization, many friends wanted to visit her, but Duan Yiheng refused them all.

Two weeks later, Lin Xi and Duan Yiheng were discharged from the hospital together.

Before leaving, the doctor gave instructions that even after being discharged, there are still many things to be aware of.

Duan Yiheng hired someone to take care of Lin Xi, while he himself had to deal with the pile of company affairs, but he planned to do them all from home.

The day I was discharged from the hospital, the sky was clear and blue.

After completing all the formalities, Lin Xi got into the car first.

Duan Yiheng came out but didn't see Lin Xi, so he asked the driver, "Where's Lin Xi?"

The driver looked puzzled: "Didn't the young lady come out with you?"

Duan Yiheng's heart sank, and he immediately dialed Lin Xi's cell phone.

After the kidnapping, their belongings were returned by the police.

Lin Xi's phone rang for a long time without being answered, and Duan Yiheng felt like his blood was freezing.

Just as he was about to call the police, his phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was Duan Mingxuan calling, Duan Yiheng immediately answered.

Duan Mingxuan said, "Don't you have a lot of things to do at your company? I'll take care of Lin Xi for you for now. When it's time, I'll bring her back."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Duan Yiheng's face was grim, and he gritted his teeth: "Duan, Ming, Xuan, you better not let me catch you."
