Perhaps this is the beginning. He felt that embracing the girl in his arms and spending the rest of his life with her would be a great choice.
However, he did not come to a conclusion. Thinking about anything right now would be a waste of the current warmth. The two slowly loosened their grip on each other's hands, and Jiang Yizhou pulled Ding Zhengnan to a nearby bench to sit down.
"Why are you suddenly so clingy? I remember you weren't like this before!" Jiang Yizhou finally calmed down a bit and put on a slightly serious face.
The girl wrapped her arms around his, completely unconcerned about how much affection she was showing her boyfriend. She swayed her body rhythmically from side to side, playfully responding to him, "Who told you to stay abroad and not come back? And you hardly contacted me. I thought... I thought..."
The apartment complex where Ding Zhengnan lived had plenty of greenery, but since it wasn't very popular yet, it was quite peaceful.
"What did you think? Don't make me sound so terrible!" Jiang Yizhou couldn't help but chuckle as he pinched her nose. This move seemed effective in dramas; he wondered how it worked in real life.
"How could I? I just thought you were going to surprise me. I expected you to come yesterday, but I waited and didn't even get a call... Ah~~ slipped my tongue!" Ding Zhengnan, feeling a bit guilty, realized that her explanation seemed to have created an even bigger mess. She knocked her fist against her head, trying to play it off.
"Did your aunt tell you something?" Jiang Yizhou asked with certainty. Since Lu Feiyan felt that their relationship was getting better and Jiang Yizhou was becoming more accomplished, she had stopped acting like a child throwing tantrums.
While helping her niece secure her 5% equity rights—oh, now diluted to 45%—she had requested a board seat.
Of course, it was partly because Jiang Yizhou had given her some leeway that Lu Feiyan obtained a board seat with some rights. However, the shares were still held by Jiang Yizhou; it was just that there was now one more representative in the boardroom. Additionally, Lu Feiyan was responsible for the news and information business of the Portal website in the company, which was her old line of work.
This time when he returned, he hadn't deliberately hidden anything from anyone; he was just a bit rushed and didn't expect Ding Zhengnan to contact Lu Feiyan so quickly. They wouldn't have been in touch all along, would they?
"No, no! I just occasionally chat with her online; she didn't tell me anything..." Although this statement couldn't be more fake—he had bought his plane ticket at the last minute—this timely "not telling" was quite unbelievable. However, seeing her adorable demeanor, Jiang Yizhou decided not to dwell on it.
"By the way, I'm here not only to see you but also to discuss something," Jiang Yizhou revealed his purpose. "Tonight there's a company dinner at my place. I want to invite you to join us. After all, you're a shareholder; it wouldn't be good if you didn't go. It would also let everyone get to know you better. What do you think?"
"I'll go! I'll go!" Ding Zhengnan immediately clenched her fists upon hearing this and hugged Jiang Yizhou's arm even tighter. This was a great opportunity to assert her status. It seemed those two women would also be attending; she needed to make them give up!
"Hey, can you not be so rough?" Jiang Yizhou looked helplessly at Ding Zhengnan, hoping she could relax a bit. However, immersed in the excitement of her main role, Ding Zhengnan clearly ignored her boyfriend's gaze.
Jiang Yizhou didn't want to say much; after all, if someone was being so enthusiastic and affectionate, it would definitely hurt feelings to ask them to back off just because they were too intense.
After chatting for a while on the bench, Jiang Yizhou left under the pretext of having lunch, while Ding Zhengnan had already eaten. She watched her boyfriend leave reluctantly, thinking about finishing work early in the afternoon to go home and dress up nicely.
"Ding, who is that guy?" Pan Su leaned over to Ding Zhengnan before starting work, asking with a hint of curiosity.
"Pan Jie, you really don't need to ask so much!" However, the shyness on Ding Zhengnan's face had already revealed the truth.
"He looks quite handsome and tall, but his outfit is a bit casual. Is he your boyfriend?" Pan Su seemed convinced and continued analyzing.
Ding Zhengnan shyly nodded. "He's just a bit messy when no one is around to manage him. Oh dear, what am I talking about with you! Let's get to work; customers are coming in!"
...
"Hey, Ding Zhengnan? Why are you back home again?" Jiang Yizhou was driving the company car and parked outside the sales hall he had visited at noon. He realized his girlfriend had left early and decided to call her.
Ding Zhengnan was busy trying on various outfits in front of a full-length mirror. Her two cabinets were overflowing with clothes as she rummaged through them, making the entire bedroom a mess.
"Is it wrong for me to go home and change clothes?" Ding Zhengnan said anxiously, worried about running out of time. Her tone carried a hint of fierceness, albeit in a cat-like way.
"Okay, okay, I'm on my way!" Jiang Yizhou couldn't help but laugh; he realized he hadn't thought this through. It wasn't ideal for her to attend a gathering in work attire.
Arriving at Ding's house, Jiang Yizhou still felt somewhat uneasy. In the past, he had some resistance towards dating; he didn't feel much pressure regarding Ding Dapeng and Lu Yan as a couple since it wasn't a big deal—he wasn't necessarily going to be their son-in-law.
But now his mindset had changed significantly. Was he really going to meet his future in-laws? His feelings were indeed quite anxious, akin to waiting outside an exam room before an important test.
"Ding Dong... Ding Dong..."
Lu Yan saw Jiang Yizhou's figure through the peephole and angrily returned to the television, continuing to watch her family soap opera.
"What's wrong? Not going to open the door for him? It's only polite to welcome guests. What do you think you're doing leaving him outside?" Ding Dapeng, who rarely had no social engagements and was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, asked as he noticed his wife's unexplained anger.
"It's that Jiang Yizhou guy. He really thinks too highly of himself. Why would Ding Zhengnan come back so early?" Lu Yan's attitude towards Jiang Yizhou was naturally influenced by her resentment towards her husband and her younger self, as she disapproved of her daughter being so infatuated with this Jiang Yizhou.
Today, their daughter came home early, full of excitement, trying on various outfits in her bedroom. When asked what was going on, she remained tight-lipped. Lu Yan immediately understood when she saw Jiang Yizhou.
"Oh, it's that guy. I remember him quite well; he has even opened a company in America and secured millions of dollars in investments from others. Truly has my old flair! My daughter has great taste to choose someone like him!" Ding Dapeng said enthusiastically, putting down the newspaper and ignoring his wife's resentful gaze as he opened the door.
"Hello, Uncle. I'm here to see Ding Zhengnan!" Jiang Yizhou said politely.
"Ding Zhengnan is still getting ready! Come in and have a seat while you wait!" Ding Dapeng warmly led Jiang Yizhou inside. "Sorry about the loud TV earlier..."
