Chapter 106 If I don't like him anymore, then who do I like?
With outsiders present, Duan Yiheng disregarded everything else and, following her aggrieved tone, pulled her into his arms: "Get in the car, I'll take you to the hospital."
"Hey, wait a minute, who are you?" The Ferrari owner stopped Duan Yiheng.
"This is mine..." Lin Xi couldn't find a suitable way to address Duan Yiheng.
Duan Yiheng glanced at the man: "Did Duan Mingxuan send you?"
"Ah."
"I am Duan Yiheng."
"So it's Brother Heng."
"Can I go?"
The person made a "please" gesture.
Duan Yiheng was still worried, so he took Lin Xi to Jinglin for a check-up.
Although Lin Xi protested many times.
After confirming that there was nothing seriously wrong, he took Lin Xi back to the villa.
It was already very late, so Duan Yiheng sat on the edge of the bed and gently coaxed, "Go and get some rest. Tomorrow is Friday, I'll ask you for the day off."
Lin Xi grabbed his hand: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stand you up."
Duan Yiheng leaned down and kissed her forehead: "Don't overthink it, go to sleep."
Lin Xi didn't want to let go: "Why don't you even ask me what happened?"
Duan Yiheng took her hand and kissed it: "Duan Mingxuan told me on the phone."
"He really called you?" Lin Xi was a little surprised. "I thought he was just trying to make me feel better."
Duan Yiheng: "He was originally just trying to appease you, but you suddenly disappeared, so he got worried and had no choice but to call me."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "So you came back again?"
Duan Yiheng hummed in agreement.
He received a voice message from Lin Xi at the restaurant and waited patiently for a while. On the way, he received a call from Tan Qi.
After they finished talking, he realized that half an hour had passed, which made him a little puzzled.
The restaurant is a bit far from the company, but it shouldn't take half an hour for people to arrive.
He called Qin Yang, who then asked the security guard at the gate, who said that Lin Xi had left work on time.
Duan Yiheng immediately felt a sense of foreboding and promptly called Lin Xi.
But no one answered the phone.
He was also worried that Lin Xi was delayed by something, so he could only wait at the restaurant and let Qin Yang check on the situation.
He left the restaurant after receiving a call from Qin Yang.
Unexpectedly, he received another call from Duan Mingxuan, which prompted him to rush back.
"You absolutely can't do that again next time," Duan Yiheng instructed. "You rest first, I have some things to take care of."
Lin Xi obediently closed her eyes.
As soon as Duan Yiheng came downstairs, Duan Mingxuan rushed into the house, and Sister Mei couldn't stop him.
"Where's Xiaoxi?" Duan Mingxuan asked breathlessly. "Is she alright?"
Duan Yiheng stepped forward, grabbed Duan Mingxuan by the collar, and slammed him against the stairwell. Duan Mingxuan managed to avoid falling awkwardly by holding onto the railing.
Sister Mei wanted to say something, but ultimately couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Duan Yiheng's brows hardened into sharp, cold lines: "Since you can't manage your people, I will."
Duan Mingxuan used the railing for leverage to stand up: "What are you trying to do?"
"What are you doing?" Duan Yiheng found him utterly ridiculous. "Your girlfriend deliberately crashed into Lin Xi's car. That's illegal, you know?"
"Wait a minute." Duan Mingxuan said with a serious face, "Can you let her go this time? She saved me, and I promise she will never appear in front of Xiaoxi again."
"You're utterly ridiculous." Duan Yiheng observed coldly. "Why should Lin Xi choose to let things slide because of your guilt? Have you even considered what would happen if something happened to Lin Xi tonight?"
“Xiao Xi only suffered a mild concussion, and I also reprimanded Zhang Mo,” Duan Mingxuan said. “This is none of your business. Whether or not to reconcile depends on Xiao Xi’s wishes.”
Duan Yiheng: "You want to take advantage of her soft heart to help you repay this life-saving debt? Duan Mingxuan, you really make me look at you in a new light."
Duan Mingxuan didn't want to either, but Zhang Mo had genuinely saved his life, and he couldn't let her go to jail.
Once this matter is resolved, he will no longer owe Zhang Mo anything, and the two can break up smoothly.
"I will make it up to Xiaoxi." Duan Mingxuan said, enduring Duan Yiheng's disdainful gaze. "This matter is none of your business."
"Then you'll see if I can handle it." Duan Yiheng chuckled.
"Duan Yiheng."
Suddenly, Lin Xi's voice came from upstairs. Duan Yiheng and Duan Mingxuan looked up together and went upstairs to greet her.
"Why did you come down?" Duan Yiheng asked. "Did I disturb you?"
Lin Xi shook her head and turned to Duan Mingxuan: "You want me to reconcile with Zhang Mo?"
For some reason, Duan Mingxuan suddenly couldn't look Lin Xi in the eye.
Like a child who has made a mistake, he said to Lin Xi, "We can reach a settlement if the damage is minor, Xiao Xi, I beg you."
"You don't need to beg me." Lin Xi said calmly. "If it weren't for you when I was a child, I wouldn't have been able to get through the days of losing my parents. Do whatever you want, but I don't owe you anything anymore."
Duan Mingxuan's heart tightened: "You didn't owe me anything in the first place, so why are you saying that?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "When you're living under someone else's roof, how can you not owe them something? Mingxuan, no matter what happens between you and Zhang Mo, please don't involve me anymore."
As if to make a promise, Duan Mingxuan hurriedly said, "I really will break up with her this time. I will never let her appear in front of you again."
Lin Xi nodded.
Although Duan Yiheng disagreed, it was Lin Xi's own choice, and he couldn't say anything.
After all, it wasn't Lin Xi who grew up with her, but Duan Mingxuan.
"I'll take you upstairs to rest." Duan Yiheng supported Lin Xi's arm and then gave Sister Mei a "see you out" look.
Duan Mingxuan had to deal with Zhang Mo's matter, so he could only watch helplessly as Duan Yiheng took her away again.
Back in the room, Lin Xi raised her hand and stroked Duan Yiheng's brow: "Why are you frowning? Do you disagree with what I'm doing?"
Duan Yiheng didn't hide anything and replied, "You're indulging yourself."
“No, I’m paying off a debt.” Lin Xi moved closer to him. “I can’t deny the kindness he showed me.”
Duan Yiheng asked, "Are you feeling very disappointed?"
Lin Xi asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"
Duan Yiheng's fingertips traced her cheek: "Every kindness he ever showed you will turn into disappointment when he hurts you."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Perhaps. The only thing I'm sure of is that if I still like him, I'll be covered in wounds."
Duan Yiheng's joys and sorrows are always controlled by Lin Xi.
These words are honest and touching.
Duan Yiheng looked down into her bright eyes and asked in a low voice, "If you don't like him anymore, then who do you like?"
Lin Xi turned her head away in embarrassment: "I don't know, don't ask me."
"Don't know?" Duan Yiheng chuckled. "Are you stupid? You don't even know who you like?"
"Yes, I was hit on the head and my brain is fried." Lin Xi lay straight down on the bed and tried to cover herself with the blanket.
Duan Yiheng grabbed the corner of her blanket: "I think you're not really stupid from the accident, you're just pretending."
Lin Xi's eyes trembled: "I really need to go to sleep."
"Okay." Duan Yiheng leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips. "Goodnight."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Good night."
Sister Mei took a deep breath and tiptoed downstairs through the crack in the closed door.
