Three hours later, Lin Xi was carried out of the bathroom by Duan Yiheng, like a willow branch whose tender buds had been plucked. Lin Xi didn't even have the strength to glare at anyone. "I'll have Sister Mei bring dinner up."
Lin Xi gave a small "Mmm." Sister Mei greeted Duan Yiheng as he came down, saying, "The soup has been simmering, but the vegetables haven't tasted good." Duan Yiheng said, "It's alright, no meat, take everything else upstairs to the living room." "Okay."
"Lin Xi is a bit too thin, you should try to improve her meals." Duan Yiheng frowned. Just now in the bathtub, she seemed so thin and light. "I was just talking to Miss about this a couple of days ago."
Sister Mei immediately replied, "She said it's easy to gain weight but hard to lose it." Duan Yiheng: "…She's already so thin, why does she still want to lose weight?" Sister Mei chuckled:
"She might be getting married in a year or two, there's nothing wrong with her wanting to maintain her figure. Even though the dress can be altered once it's made, it's still a hassle." Duan Yiheng was taken aback: "She still has this in mind?" Sister Mei: "Girls love to look good, you have to respect that."
Duan Yiheng was both amused and exasperated: "Marriage is still a long way off. Never mind, I'll go upstairs and talk to her myself." Sister Mei: "You're the one who takes Miss seriously." "Hurry up and bring the food up." "Coming right now."
Duan Yiheng turned and went upstairs to tell Lin Xi his thoughts. Lin Xi frowned as expected: "It's not like you're wearing the wedding dress, and it's not like you're the one who has to lose weight." Duan Yiheng kissed her: "Don't I have to get my abs back?" Lin Xi suddenly laughed: "Really, they're gone."
Duan Yiheng assured her: "We'll see the results in a month." Lin Xi immediately felt sorry for him: "Actually, I don't mind if you have a beer belly. Work is tiring enough, and exercising is high-intensity; it's unnecessary." "I can't even stand it myself."
Duan Yiheng said, "I'm adjusting your diet not to make you gain weight, but to make you healthier. Besides, if we want to have children in the future, shouldn't we both be healthy?" Lin Xi's cheeks flushed: "You're thinking so far ahead." Duan Yiheng said:
"Actually, it's not that far ahead. The first time I met you, you were only six years old. It feels like just yesterday you were growing up." "So, you've watched me grow up too," Lin Xi joked. "I watched you grow up."
Duan Yiheng pulled her up. "Put on your pajamas and robe, let's go out for dinner." Lin Xi helped him get dressed and went to the living room with Duan Yiheng for dinner. Halfway through the meal, Liang Yutong called: "Are you free tomorrow? Want to go out for dinner?"
Lin Xi said, "Yes, I'm on vacation." "That's great." "I don't really want to go out. Just come to my house, I'll be home alone anyway." "Okay." Vacation was boring, and Liang Yutong coming over would be a good way to kill another day.
After dinner, Lin Xi took a shower and went to sleep. The next day, Liang Yutong rushed over. Seeing Lin Xi's rosy complexion, she smiled and said, "You're living the good life." Lin Xi rolled her eyes at her: "What do you want?" Liang Yutong:
"What are you talking about? Think about how long it's been since I last saw you." The last time she saw her was in the hospital room, and she had specifically asked Duan Yiheng for permission. "You're busy too, aren't you?" Lin Xi said. "I heard Uncle is planning to get you a job at the company. What do you think?" Liang Yutong sighed. "I have to go, whether I want to or not. It's the old man's life's work. Mu Shuo said he could be a live-in son-in-law, and I scolded him." Lin Xi chuckled. "That's great. Miss Liang's charm hasn't faded at all." "You're laughing at me too," Liang Yutong snorted. "I came here today because I have something troubling me that I wanted to talk to you about. Besides you, I don't know who else to talk to." Liang Yutong had more than one friend than Lin Xi, but it seemed that Lin Xi was the only one she could truly confide in. Lin Xi gave her a knowing look. "You know Mu Shuo has been relentlessly pursuing me. He hasn't even won me over yet, but he's already won over my mom. Since my mom's been won over, my dad naturally wouldn't dare object." Lin Xi said, puzzled, "Isn't that great? What's bothering you?" Liang Yutong sighed:
"Once bitten, twice shy. My relationship with Zheng Jianian lasted so many years, and he still betrayed me so easily. I'm a little scared." "Be brave," Lin Xi said. "As for Mu Shuo, I asked Duan Yiheng. He looks young, but he's actually very reliable."
"He wants to marry you, but I'm afraid he's been thinking about it for a long time…" For years, he thought Zheng Jianian was an insurmountable wall between you and him, but who knew Zheng Jianian would leave on his own. "You can't blame him for being impatient, can you?" Liang Yutong:
"I know, his family is quite satisfied with me, it's just that I haven't figured it out myself." Lin Xi comforted her: "Good things come to those who wait, it's not wrong for you to overthink it, as long as Mu Shuo understands." Liang Yutong leaned against Lin Xi: "What about you? When are you and Duan Yiheng getting married?"
Lin Xi said: "I saw my grandma and aunt last time, the earliest it will be is the end of next year or the spring after."
" There are many details to prepare before the wedding, not to mention inviting so many guests and arranging their seating. But these are handled by professionals, so it's not a big deal. Lin Xi: "But I heard the wedding day is very tiring." Liang Yutong:
"We've never been married before, we don't know." Lin Xi joked: "Then let's try it once." "Try it once more." Liang Yutong teased her, "If you're so capable, say that to Duan Yiheng's face." Lin Xi quickly added: "Just kidding." "You're such a coward."
Liang Yutong stuffed a strawberry into her mouth. As she put the food in her mouth, she suddenly asked, "Is Duan Mingxuan really not coming back?" Lin Xi: "Why are you suddenly asking about him?" Liang Yutong:
"Yu Lang and Mu Shuo were drinking together, and they casually mentioned Duan Mingxuan. Yu Lang kept cursing him for being disloyal and spineless." Lin Xi sighed: "I never expected him to do this." Liang Yutong understood Lin Xi's personality and comforted her:
"This is his own choice. It just means you two weren't meant to be. Xiao Xi, you'll be happy with Duan Yiheng." Lin Xi naturally knew this, and couldn't help but sigh at the cruel twist of fate.
Liang Yutong didn't leave until dusk. Looking at the sunset, Lin Xi decided to move to Tiandu Yuxi the next day and start work the day after. Otherwise, staying at home would be too boring. Duan Yiheng fully supported her decision, and the next evening, they went directly to Tiandu Yuxi.
The villa was vacated, with Sister Mei and some workers left to guard it, officially entering the construction phase. Three days later, one evening, Lin Xi was chatting with Duan Yiheng about what to eat for dinner when her phone suddenly rang. Lin Xi stared at the number, paused, took a deep breath, and answered:
"Hello, this is Lin Xi, Sales Manager of Yinfan Technology." The caller on the other end of the line was a notification from the bidding party: "Congratulations, you have successfully won the bid." Lin Xi was momentarily speechless. She composed herself and thanked them calmly.
Then she immediately got up, opened her office door, and informed everyone that the scenic area project had been won. The sales department erupted in cheers; all the hard work of the past few days had been worthwhile. Lin Xi turned and went back to her office, concealing her excitement, and called Duan Yiheng.
