Gently bite the jasmine

Duan Mingxuan looked at Yu Lang with a strange expression for a moment and scoffed, "What the hell are you talking about? Xiao Xi is my sister."

Yu Lang looked completely innocent: "I know she's your sister, but you haven't treated her like one in many ways."

Duan Mingxuan frowned: "What did I do?"

Yu Lang: "You know what's going on in your heart. Just look at the fact that she became Duan Yiheng's secretary. You're like a husband who's been cheated on."

"I—" Duan Mingxuan choked, "I was worried that Duan Yiheng had ulterior motives towards her."

Yu Lang: "To be honest, Lin Xi has been living in your house for so many years, has Duan Yiheng ever had any bad intentions towards her? Besides, recently, Lin Xi became his secretary, and nothing has happened yet?"

Duan Mingxuan: "Nothing happened? She's argued with me so many times because of Duan Yiheng."

Yu Lang: "That wasn't an argument, was it? It was you trying to control things on your own, so naturally Lin Xi wouldn't listen to you."

Getting more and more annoyed, Duan Mingxuan took a swig of wine and said, "I'm leaving."

Yu Lang: "..."

Duan Mingxuan was still annoyed even after the designated driver drove the sports car around in circles several times.

Why do so many people say he likes Lin Xi?

No, that's impossible. Xiao Xi is his sister.

As if to prove something, Duan Mingxuan turned around and went to Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo was puzzled when she learned of his arrival, but outwardly welcomed him.

Little did she know that after Duan Mingxuan entered the room and stared at her for a few seconds, he suddenly pressed her against the wall and kissed her.

Zhang Mo was overjoyed. Was this a sign that they were going to get back together?

She guessed correctly; Duan Mingxuan had indeed gotten back together with her.

The next day, she announced it to the world and even notified Lin Xi.

Lin Xi stared speechlessly at the phone that had been hung up, lost in thought for a long while, thinking: Duan Mingxuan really likes Zhang Mo.

Duan Yiheng passed by the secretary's office, overheard something, and asked without even realizing it, "Whose phone call made you look like that?"

Lin Xi replied subconsciously, "Zhang Mo, she and Duan Mingxuan got back together."

Duan Yiheng raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Duan Mingxuan is going back to his ex?"

"Why are you standing here?" Lin Xi snapped out of her daze. "Eavesdropping on other people's phone calls is not the behavior of a gentleman."

Duan Yiheng: "I never said I was a gentleman."

It was after get off work hours, and Lin Xi agreed, "That's true."

She shut down her computer, grabbed her bag, and left work.

Duan Yiheng followed closely behind.

The two each had their own car, and they arrived home one after the other, and then had dinner together.

Lin Xi has been busy with the business trip project materials and finalizing the itinerary these past few days.

Since it's in a neighboring city, they plan to take the high-speed train there, where someone will naturally pick them up.

After dinner, Lin Xi returned upstairs and was about to take a shower and rest when her phone started ringing incessantly.

After receiving the package, Lin Xi's expression changed several times. Without taking anything else, she ran downstairs, grabbed her car keys, and left.

If you were to ask who she envied, it would be Liang Yutong.

While she had a crush on Duan Mingxuan for many years, Liang Yutong and Zheng Jianian were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship.

It was a completely different outcome from hers.

They were in each other's lives from birth, and Zheng Jianian separated Liang Yutong from everything else.

Liang Yutong is his darling, childhood sweetheart, friend, confidante... they are all the characters in each other's lives.

She couldn't believe that Zheng Jianian would cheat on her.

Lin Xi wiped her face, and although she was worried about Liang Yutong, she still drove very steadily.

When night fell, Lin Xi almost didn't recognize Liang Yutong.

Her hair was disheveled, she was hysterical, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was crying so hard she could barely breathe.

Lin Xi rushed up and hugged her tightly.

She didn't say anything, but simply gently stroked Liang Yutong's back.

"Cry if you want to cry, I'll be there for you, I'll do anything for you."

Liang Yutong leaned on Lin Xi's shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Xi, my heart aches so much. He said it happened after he went abroad last year, and he couldn't hold back."

Lin Xi felt terrible and shed tears: "I know, I know everything."

Liang Yutong had already drunk quite a bit, but she was still holding back her emotions. She wiped away her tears and said, "Come dance with me."

Lin Xi couldn't dance, but she knew Liang Yutong needed to vent.

The music in the dance floor was blasting, and Liang Yutong leaned against Lin Xi, screaming incessantly. Her clothes rode up as she raised her hands, revealing a dazzlingly slender waist.

Several drunk men approached Liang Yutong and tried to make physical contact with her.

Lin Xi was startled and pulled Liang Yutong back.

With too many people on the dance floor, the man, seeing that he hadn't gotten the better of Liang Yutong, turned his attention to Lin Xi.

The nightlife scene is expensive and has high standards. I've heard the owner has some influence, so most people don't dare to cause trouble here.

But there are always some arrogant rich kids who don't believe in such things, and what they see right in front of them is a perfect example.

Even though Lin Xi dodged it, the blond-haired leader persisted: "Beautiful lady, shall I buy you a drink?"

As he spoke, he pushed Lin Xi and Liang Yutong toward the edge of the dance floor.

Lin Xi knew he couldn't stay there any longer, so he turned to leave with the dazed Liang Yutong, but they were blocked in their way.

"What are you going to do?"

Huang Mao smiled and said, "I've been eyeing your friend for a while now. I just had her have a drink with me."

Liang Yutong immediately spat and said, "You don't deserve it."

The man's expression immediately changed; he actually intended to force his way in.

"I'm going to sleep with you today and see if you can find a place to appeal."

Lin Xi's expression changed drastically, and she turned around to ask for help, but the group of people moved even faster, blocking her and Liang Yutong at the bar.

Liang Yutong had never been treated like this before, and with the alcohol raging in her system, she grabbed a bottle from the bar and smashed it with a "bang".

The wine glass shattered, and the guests gasped in surprise.

Caught off guard, Huang Mao was covered in alcohol and reached out to grab Liang Yutong.

Lin Xi was stopped by his two friends, who were all smiles.

"Get out of the way," Lin Xi said coldly.

But her weak and lacking any imposing presence only made the other party laugh unrestrainedly.

Liang Yutong screamed, which aroused Lin Xi's rebellious spirit. She grabbed a long glass full of wine from the bar and smashed the rim of the glass.

Lin Xi pointed his jagged, sharp-edged weapon at the thugs and said, "Get out of the way."

Seeing her hands trembling uncontrollably, the men exchanged glances and laughed through their tears, convinced that she wouldn't dare.

Lin Xi held her breath, her heart pounding with worry for Liang Yutong. She closed her eyes and fiercely swung the cup down.

"Ah—" A shrill scream echoed across the bar. Lin Xi opened her eyes and saw the person covering their face, blood flowing from between their fingers.

The cup shattered on the ground, and Lin Xi took a step back in fright.

Even those who were clinging to Liang Yutong stared in astonishment.

Lin Xi's face turned even paler when she heard someone next to her say "call the police."

Liang Yutong sobered up considerably after the sudden incident. She pushed the blond-haired man away and asked Lin Xi with concern if she was alright.

Lin Xi shook her head stiffly, then shakily pulled out her phone and subconsciously called Duan Yiheng.

The other party answered quickly, and before Lin Xi could even speak, she burst into tears: "Big brother, I'm doomed."

Duan Yiheng panicked: "Where are you?"

Lin Xi was terrified and said, "I was in the Night Zone, I scratched someone, and they bled a lot. Someone called the police."

"Don't panic, I'll go now."
