Lightly raising an eyebrow, he placed his hand on Ding Nuanyang’s belly, gently stroking, “Did the baby kick you today?”
“Yes, it kicked me several times just now.”
Gently pulling Jiang Xudong’s arm, Ding Nuanyang’s expression was sly, “Honey, what plan did Miss Tang want to collaborate with our company? It seems like you two knew each other before. How do you know a woman who looks so much like me?”
“Weren’t you here for business? Your cover is blown!” Jiang Xudong smiled and pointed at Ding Nuanyang’s forehead with a doting expression.
“Tell me, the baby wants to know why someone looks so much like his mom…” Ding Nuanyang pushed out her belly and acted coquettishly towards Jiang Xudong.
“Alright, alright.” Jiang Xudong gently shook his head, helping Ding Nuanyang sit back in the chair and then sat down across from her, softly saying, “Didn’t you always wonder why there’s a fortune-teller like Cheng Zhiyi in Fang County?”
“Yes.” Ding Nuanyang nodded, her brow furrowing even more.
“It’s like this.” Jiang Xudong pursed his lips, smoothing out the wrinkles on Ding Nuanyang’s forehead, slowly saying, “Do you know why Daheng Marketplace’s reward for outstanding employees was that all-inclusive Fang County tourism voucher?”
“I don’t know.” Ding Nuanyang gently shook her head.
“That was my first move as the general manager after acquiring Daheng Marketplace, kind of the first welfare I sent to the employees there. By coincidence, you were among those who enjoyed it.”
Recalling the past, a warm smile appeared on Jiang Xudong’s face. He said, “The reason for choosing Fang County as an employee benefit was because I had once gone there to relax. It was a place with a nice environment. There, I met local villagers, including the Tang Yueliang you just saw. She was a local tour guide who also worked part-time promoting tourism vouchers to many companies. I agreed to help her sell a batch of tourism vouchers.”
“I see.” Ding Nuanyang nodded at Jiang Xudong, gently holding his hand in her small palm.
Although Jiang Xudong spoke casually about the past, Ding Nuanyang knew how much damage her disappearance had caused him back then.
While he now said he was just slightly drunk, Ding Nuanyang knew how completely wasted he had been.
