Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 206 What will you do if I'm still angry?

Lin Xi's car weaved through the bustling streets.

It takes half an hour to drive from the villa to Tiandu Yuxi if you drive slowly. She wasn't driving fast, so Duan Yiheng followed behind her the whole time.

As they approached Tianyuan Road, there was some traffic congestion. One of the SUVs tried to cut in, but Lin Xi saw in the rearview mirror that Duan Yiheng wouldn't budge.

Lin Xi suddenly laughed, her anger subsiding considerably.

Upon arriving at Tiandu Yuxi, Lin Xi turned off the engine and got out of the car, with Duan Yiheng quietly following behind.

Lin Xi glanced back out of the corner of her eye, swiped her card, and entered the elevator.

Duan Yiheng stood outside without moving and asked Lin Xi, "May I come in?"

Lin Xi snorted: "If you're not coming up, then you can just stand there."

Duan Yiheng reacted quickly and wisely entered the elevator.

He glanced at Lin Xi. Since he was allowed to come up, he must have calmed down by now, right?

Duan Yiheng cleared his throat: "My attitude was bad before. I was just worried about you, I didn't mean to scold you."

Lin Xi glanced at the display screen inside the elevator. They were almost at the 23rd floor. She pursed her lips, about to speak, when suddenly the elevator car shook violently with a "clang".

Lin Xi let out a short cry, and the next second, she was pulled into a safe and secure embrace.

Duan Yiheng held Lin Xi in one arm and pressed the emergency button with the other, then picked up the intercom in the car to make a call.

At the same time, the monitoring system showed an anomaly, and security personnel were already on their way.

Lin Xi hugged Duan Yiheng's waist, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

Duan Yiheng sensed her fear and put his arm around her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "This level of residence has a very comprehensive security system. Don't worry, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator arrived at Lin Xi's residence.

Lin Xi only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the elevator doors were indeed open.

She held Duan Yiheng's hand tightly as they entered the foyer.

This was the first time Lin Xi had encountered such a situation, and she had even watched horror movies about elevators before. Her legs went weak, which was a terrible thing for her.

Duan Yiheng gently rubbed the back of her head and said tenderly, "What are you afraid of? I'm here, aren't I?"

Lin Xi's gaze paused for a moment: "So it turns out that when a person is scared, their legs really can't move."

I used to complain about how some female leads in idol dramas would stand in the middle of the road and get hit by trucks.

Duan Yiheng led her to the living room and said, "The property management staff will be up soon. I'll go take care of this. Would you like something to eat to calm your nerves?"

Lin Xi was quite excited tonight, especially since she and Duan Yiheng had essentially gone public in front of her grandfather.

She looked up at Duan Yiheng: "We haven't had dinner yet, I want to eat fried chicken and fries."

Duan Yiheng: "...Do we really have to eat it now?"

Eating these things before bed is very unhealthy.

Lin Xi nodded: "Calm down."

What reason could Duan Yiheng possibly have to stop her from eating? He said, "Then wait a moment."

The property management staff came to apologize with pale faces, but Duan Yiheng remained expressionless.

However, since the incident had already occurred, they reacted quickly. Duan Yiheng coldly said, "This will not happen again," and then instructed the butler to prepare the food that Lin Xi wanted.

Within fifteen minutes, the butler brought dinner for the two of them.

Lin Xi and Duan Yiheng sat cross-legged by the coffee table in the living room, and she casually turned on the TV as background noise.

Lin Xi picked up a French fry, dipped it in ketchup, and held it to Duan Yiheng's lips: "What did you and Grandpa talk about upstairs?"

Duan Yiheng opened his mouth and ate it, then said, "We discussed the transfer of shares."

"Grandpa really agreed?" Lin Xi asked incredulously. "He didn't say anything? He didn't even call you a scoundrel?"

Duan Yiheng smiled and briefly described his conversation with the old man to her.

Lin Xi licked the ketchup off her lips and said, "Actually, Grandpa knows very well that once anything detrimental to Yin Fan is exposed, it will be a blow to the group, whether it is fatal or not."

Regarding Duan Zheng's matter, Duan Yiheng's decision to remain silent for the sake of equity was the most correct one.

Otherwise, if it were exposed, she was afraid that Duan Yiheng would take over the group and end up with a mess.

Duan Yiheng replied, "If I'm not mistaken, after we left, the old man definitely called a lawyer over."

"It can't be that fast, can it?" Lin Xi looked at Duan Yiheng.

Duan Yiheng narrowed his eyes: "You can call Sister Mei now."

"Me?" Lin Xi pointed to herself. "Why didn't you fight?"

Duan Yiheng said, "I'm too lazy to move. You can call her and ask her while you're at it. She'll definitely tell you everything she knows."

Lin Xi: "...So Sister Mei was your spy at home."

Duan Yiheng chuckled: "You only found out today?"

Lin Xi took out her phone from her bag and dialed Sister Mei's number in front of Duan Yiheng, putting it on speakerphone.

Sister Mei quickly answered: "Young Miss?"

Lin Xi hummed in agreement: "It's me. I called to ask you something. After we left, did anyone else come over to the villa?"

Sister Mei said, "Dr. Jin took the opportunity to examine the old man, found nothing wrong, and left. Less than an hour after he left, Lawyer Qian came to the door."

Lin Xi: "Are you sure?"

Mei Jie: "Confirmed."

Lin Xi responded and hung up the phone.

She said to Duan Yiheng, "You were right after all. I just don't know how Grandpa will transfer the shares."

Duan Yiheng paused for a moment, then said, "The safest way to transfer power is to plan according to the needs of the family and the group, and to transfer equity in stages."

Lin Xi also fell silent.

The old man is ill and doesn't have much time to carry out the phased transfer of equity.

The most likely possibilities are direct transfer or inheritance by will.

Duan Yiheng gave her some time to think and said, "If I have children in the future, regardless of gender, I will only look at their aptitude and ability, and I will remove obstacles for them within my power."

Lin Xi turned her gaze away: "You're thinking too far ahead."

"Not angry anymore?" Duan Yiheng chuckled, then suddenly changed the subject.

Lin Xi's eyes darted around: "What will you do if I'm still angry?"

Duan Yiheng said matter-of-factly, "Then I won't leave tonight."

Lin Xi was about to retort when Duan Yiheng chuckled softly, "I'll stay and coax you."

The last two words trailed off between his lips, conveying ambiguity, yet his eyes held a genuine desire.

"I'm not angry anymore." Lin Xi immediately straightened up. "Eat quickly."

Duan Yiheng was so angry he almost laughed.

That night, he did not leave the Imperial Seal of Heaven.

At the same time, Duan Zheng entered Lanyue Mansion, and to his surprise, Lin Xiaoying was also there.

Upon seeing Duan Zheng, she stood up and called out, "Brother-in-law."

Ke Yu turned her phoenix eyes slightly and said, "Xiaoying, it's getting late, you should go back first."

Lin Xiaoying got up to say goodbye to the two. After she left, Duan Zheng sat down next to Ke Yu and said, "Why did she come here? And to a place like Lanyue Prefecture. You trust her quite a bit."

Ke Yu smiled and said, "Even you, I can't completely trust. Do you think I trust her? It's only because everything she has now is given to her by me."

Duan Zheng asked her, "Why did you call me over so late?"
