Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 991 - 992: I Must Have Him (Part 4)

"Did you just say Mr. Ji is going to the resort for a business trip on the first of June?" Korea asked in a deliberately casual tone, "Is it that Vivid Life Resort?"

Chen Xiang nodded, "Yes, the owner of that resort is friends with Mr. Ji. There’s a big event, and Mr. Ji has been invited to attend."

Only after speaking did he realize he had said a bit too much and quickly added, "Uh... Korea, I should get back to work."

"Alright... By the way, Chen Xiang." Korea nodded.

Suddenly, she remembered something, called out to Chen Xiang, and then lowered her head to rummage through her bag, pulling out a shopping card still in its packaging. She smiled and said to Chen Xiang, "I have a Fashion Impression shopping card here, gifted by someone else. The mall is quite far away, and I wouldn’t be going there, so you might as well take it for your girlfriend."

Fashion Impression is an outlet mall in Hai City but also a luxury outlet.

A shopping card from there is worth at least five thousand.

Chen Xiang shook his head in horror, "No, no, no, I can’t possibly accept this."

She, a dignified marketing manager, being suddenly friendly and offering gifts, certainly no good can come from this.

Korea seemed to anticipate Chen Xiang’s response, smiling as she said, "In any case, I don’t need it, and it’ll expire in two years if I keep it. It’s better than letting it go to waste." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

With that, she stuffed the card directly into Chen Xiang’s hand, "Don’t feel burdened by this. It’s because you’re ambitious — I appreciate ambitious employees. It’s been very hectic lately, especially at the president’s office. There are only you and Assistant Wu beside Mr. Ji. I hope that whether you’re out or in the office, you’ll take good care of Mr. Ji in life. When he’s in a good mood, everyone in the company feels better."

Chen Xiang, hearing this, felt a little tempted. He gripped the card tighter.

But from his expression, he still seemed inclined to play hard to get.

Korea interrupted before he could speak, "This card doesn’t even cover a day’s expenses for me, so stop being sentimental."

Chen Xiang, still a little embarrassed, said, "Well... thank you, Manager Korea."

Korea smiled, "Get back to work."

"Alright."

Watching Chen Xiang walk away, out of sight, Korea wiped off the fake smile from her face, her expression turning cold as she pulled out her phone from her pocket.

She dialed a number and placed it to her ear.

"Follow up on the Vivid Life Resort cooperation project and make arrangements to go there on the first of June."

...

Hai City airport, international arrivals gate.

The girl in a red dress had a Chanel backpack slung over her shoulders, her slender figure swaying left and right.

She exuded an active vibe from top to bottom.

"Mr. Xin, welcome back to Hai City."

Finally, after anxious waiting, her father’s figure appeared in her sight. Xin Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but feel excited, raised her hand, and waved in the direction her father was coming from.

After her excitement, she belatedly realized her lack of composure, and pouted as she put on a reluctant face.

"Xiaoxiao, did you miss Dad?" Xin Hailong asked her affectionately when he reached her.

Xin Xiaoxiao pouted disdainfully, "Hmph, you’re not my boyfriend, why should I miss you?"

But saying she doesn’t miss him would be a lie.

However, after so many years, she seems to have gotten used to this anticipation — wondering when Dad would return, when he’d come back to share a meal with her.
