Gently bite the jasmine

The yellow diamond has a rich and pure color, and even indoors at night, it produces a dazzling luster.

It weighs a small amount, but it is very suitable as a jewelry decoration for a chain lapel, and can also be used as a brooch chain.

Duan Yiheng picked up the gemstone, glanced at it, and said, "This looks like women's jewelry?"

Lin Xi nodded: "I bought it at an auction abroad; it was an earring."

"One?" Duan Yiheng asked curiously, "Why did you give it to me?"

"This was a birthday gift from a designer mother to her daughter. It's just a pity that only one was made before the mother passed away. Later, the daughter sold it due to family changes, and it eventually ended up in my hands."

The story is regrettable, but Duan Yiheng gleaned from it Lin Xi's words of comfort for him.

He smiled and said, "I really like the item, but I don't know how it will look on me."

"You haven't taken your suit off yet," Lin Xi said. "How about I put it on you and you try it on?"

Duan Yiheng stepped aside to make way for him: "Come in."

Lin Xi entered the room, took the lapel chain, adjusted its position, and threaded the chain through the lapel eyelet.

The suit was dark and the fabric was crisp, and Duan Yiheng displayed its composure and neatness in a very charming way.

The bright yellow diamond is like the light of dawn breaking in the darkness, complementing each other perfectly.

Lin Xi touched the gemstone and smiled, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Duan Yiheng lowered his head, looked into her eyes which were brighter than diamonds, and nodded gently: "Beautiful."

Lin Xi remembered the horse he had given her and asked, "Will we be able to go see the ginkgo trees at No. 1 North District in a few days? Did the butler call you?"

Duan Yiheng said, "I posted a photo. The ginkgo leaves are only slightly yellow; it's not yet time for them to be fully golden."

Lin Xi suddenly fell silent, his eyes conveying a sense of unspoken words.

Duan Yiheng noticed this, removed the chain from the collar, and carefully placed it into the box.

After waiting a while, she still didn't speak. Duan Yiheng shook his head helplessly and asked her, "What do you want to say?"

Lin Xi looked at him and asked casually, "Was everything you did tonight because of me?"

Duan Yiheng wasn't one to show off, so he could easily deny it. He hesitated for a moment, then simply hummed in agreement.

"Thank you." Lin Xi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. "But this matter could be a big deal or a small deal. Aren't you going to tell Grandpa?"

Duan Yiheng: "I restricted Chen Baiwei's spending, but I didn't restrict Duan Mingxuan's. What can Grandpa say?"

Lin Xi: "...I was just worried."

"Worried about me?" Duan Yiheng turned around, leaned against the railing, and looked down at her in the bright moonlight.

Lin Xi noticed his gaze, looked over instinctively, and then awkwardly looked away.

She raised her hand to tuck her long hair behind her ear, and seeing that he was still staring at her, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you staring at me?"

good looking.

Duan Yiheng coughed lightly: "Your eyes are a little swollen."

"It's okay." Lin Xi touched her eyelids. "I can be at work on Monday."

Duan Yiheng: "...Am I a ruthless exploiter? If you can't go to work because of your health, would I force you to go?"

"What did I mean by that?" Lin Xi looked at him pleadingly. "You're the most understanding boss, okay?"

"No way," Duan Yiheng teased her.

Lin Xi's eyes widened: "I can't even praise you?"

Duan Yiheng was amused by her reaction and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to see the ginkgo trees next week, are you okay?"

Lin Xi readily agreed: "Of course I can do it. That road will definitely be beautiful."

It was late at night, and Duan Yiheng saw that she looked tired, so he told her to go to sleep.

Lin Xi went up to the third floor.

Sister Mei cleaned up her room, almost restoring the original layout of her bedroom.

Lin Xi was touched and rolled around on the bed twice.

Duan Mingxuan only temporarily compromised on the matter of her living in the west building. He originally wanted to talk to Lin Xi, but Zhang Mo kept pestering him.

Fortunately, he and Lin Xi had agreed to go to Rong County, where it would just be the two of them, allowing him to have a proper chat with Lin Xi.

Lin Xi waited for two days over the weekend, but didn't receive a call from the old man.

She breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Duan Yiheng had indeed handled everything well.

She privately inquired about Chen Baiwei's whereabouts from Sister Mei, who said that Duan Zheng had contacted Duan Yiheng.

Lin Xi couldn't help but feel a little worried again.

When Duan Yiheng returned home in the evening, she couldn't wait to greet him: "I heard Uncle Duan was looking for you? Was it about Aunt Wei?"

Duan Yiheng handed the coat to Sister Mei and said, "It was just a warning not to go too far, nothing serious."

He took long strides, and Lin Xi had to jog to keep up.

Duan Yiheng noticed this and slowed down. Lin Xi braked suddenly but couldn't stop in time and bumped into his back.

Lin Xi wrinkled her nose: "Why did you suddenly stop?"

Duan Yiheng asked, amused, "Weren't you the one who pursued me? I stopped to wait for you."

Lin Xi resigned herself to her bad luck: "I just wanted to ask, when do you plan to let her out?"

"It depends on my mood," Duan Yiheng said as he walked towards the restaurant.

Before Lin Xi could say anything more, Duan Yiheng's phone rang.

She glanced over out of the corner of her eye and saw Qin Yang; it must be about work.

She didn't disturb him and sat down opposite him.

Lin Xi served Duan Yiheng a bowl of soup. Duan Yiheng nodded to her and quietly answered Qin Yang's call.

"I've read the report, and it still has market potential. I'll have Secretary Lin arrange the schedule for two weeks from now."

When Lin Xi heard him mention her, she asked after he hung up, "Are you going on a business trip?"

Duan Yiheng: "Yes, it will probably take about a week, scheduled for the latter half of the month. There's no rush, let's focus on the work at hand first."

Lin Xi asked, "Where are we going?"

Duan Yiheng: "H City".

Lin Xi was taken aback: "H City? Rong County is a county under the jurisdiction of H City."

"Hmm." Duan Yiheng knew, but his business trip to H City was purely coincidental. "Is there anything fun to do there?"

Lin Xi smiled awkwardly: "Although I was born in H City, I came to B City when I was six years old, so I really didn't know."

Duan Yiheng: "Then I'll go take a look first, and I'll tell you what fun things there are."

Lin Xi chuckled, "It's like going on a vacation."

"But plans can change," Duan Yiheng said. "I promised to go see the ginkgo trees with you."

Lin Xi was flattered, but in her opinion, work was naturally more important.

Duan Yiheng's tone made it seem as if admiring the ginkgo trees was more important to her than her work.

“Ginkgo trees are there every year, but projects don’t wait for anyone,” Lin Xi said. “I’ll go arrange your schedule right away.”

Duan Yiheng wanted to say there was no rush, but Lin Xi had already left.

He shook his head, he'd never seen anyone so obsessed with work, refusing to rest even after coming home at night.

Due to a business trip in the latter part of the month, all of Duan Yiheng's work was cut short.

Lin Xi stared at the schedule, speechless. The work was packed way too.

Duan Yiheng was still full of energy after a busy day. It turns out that being a boss isn't something you can just decide to do.

Half a month later, Duan Yiheng flew to H City, and Lin Xi, as his secretary, suddenly had a much lighter workload.

She counted down the days until late November, on a Friday evening, when she flew to H City with Duan Mingxuan, and then transferred to Rong County.

At that time, Duan Yiheng was about to finish his business trip.
