Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 728: Chapter 702: Anxious Waiting

Ye Chen rode the tricycle back to the delivery point and drove the Cullinan towards Hua Mansion.

On the way, he gave Little Pang a call and told him all the deliveries were finished.

Little Pang was immensely grateful and said to feel free to ask him for anything in the future.

When he got home, it was already eight o’clock in the evening, but Lin Wanrou wasn’t home, and Ye Chen knew she must be busy with work.

Ye Chen went to the kitchen alone, opened the fridge, took out some noodles, tomatoes, and eggs, and prepared to make dinner.

Eating alone isn’t fun, so Ye Chen didn’t feel like making anything too complicated.

Soon, the tomato noodle soup was ready.

Ye Chen carried the pot out of the kitchen to the dining room. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the click-clack of high heels.

Lin Wanrou changed into slippers from the shoe cabinet and headed straight to the dining room.

Seeing Lin Wanrou’s slightly tired yet pretty face, Ye Chen felt a pang of heartache: “Wanrou, you’ve worked hard, you haven’t had dinner yet, right?”

“Master, as soon as I stepped into the house, I smelled the aroma of noodle soup, and it really whet my appetite,” Lin Wanrou said with a smile.

“Go change your clothes and wash your hands, I’ll serve it up for you.”

After Lin Wanrou changed her clothes and returned to the dining room, water almost dripped from her mouth when she saw the noodle soup on the table.

She picked up the chopsticks, plucked a strand of noodle, and put it in her mouth, savoring it slowly.

At first, she acted all ladylike.

But towards the end, she couldn’t care less, and soon she slurped down a whole bowl of soup.

Lin Wanrou handed the bowl to Ye Chen and said, “Master, that was delicious, I want more.”

Helplessly, Ye Chen put all the noodles from the pot into her bowl while he just drank a little soup.

For Ye Chen, who had cooking skills, even simple noodle soup tasted like it was made by a top chef from a Five Stars hotel.

Lin Wanrou polished off the noodles and soup, not leaving a drop.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh. The beautiful women he knew always changed their demeanor when faced with good food.

Before Ye Chen could say anything, Lin Wanrou pouted and said, “Master, you’re so bad, I originally planned not to eat dinner, but I couldn’t resist the temptation of good food, now I’m definitely going to gain weight.”

Ye Chen felt a bit helpless inside; he only drank the soup, but he was still hungry, and this girl was getting away with it while playing coy. It was truly annoying.

He decided he would properly deal with this woman later that night.

After showering, Ye Chen helped Lin Wanrou dry her hair, then they spent a tumultuous night together.

Even when the alarm went off, Lin Wanrou didn’t wake up.

Ye Chen drove to the delivery point, and only Manager Zhang Dafu was there.

“Ye Chen, you’re riding around in a luxury car, so wealthy, yet you work so hard. How can people like us measure up? Look at those little rascals—they’re not even here yet.”

Ye Chen didn’t respond but loaded today’s deliveries onto the electric tricycle.

Without waiting for Zhang Dafu to say anything else, he was already riding away, humming a tune, starting another day of delivering packages.

Arriving at a place called Round and Fat Beverage Shop, Ye Chen parked his bike at the entrance, went in, and asked, “Hello, is Miss Liu here? There is a package for her.”

At that moment, a woman wearing the Round and Fat uniform said, “Hello, it’s me.”

Ye Chen followed the voice and saw a girl in her twenties, with a bob hairstyle, wearing a clean and tidy work uniform, cleaning the store.

“Hello, please sign for it, and if you’re satisfied, remember to give a good review.” Ye Chen handed the package to the girl with a smile.

After seeing the girl sign for it, Ye Chen turned to leave.

“Hey, wait a minute,” the girl’s voice suddenly called out from behind.

Ye Chen thought there might be an issue with the package and turned back to ask, “Is there a problem with the package?”

“Oh, no.” The girl replied, then walked over to the counter and handed a cup of iced drink to Ye Chen, sweetly saying, “It’s for you, the weather is hot, don’t get heatstroke.”

Seeing the drink offered by the girl, Ye Chen was momentarily stunned, then felt a warmth in his heart.

During these days of delivering packages, he met all sorts of people, most of whom looked at delivery boys with tinted glasses.

But this girl in front of him was completely different from those people, which made Ye Chen feel warm inside.

Ye Chen took the drink and said, “Thank you!”

“Take care on the road, and if you like, you can come by often.” The girl stood at the door and saw Ye Chen off.

Then she returned inside to continue her work, feeling extra cheerful today, having met such a handsome delivery boy right after opening.

Ye Chen rode through the streets and alleys, delivering packages to each customer.

“Beep beep beep,” his phone rang, but riding made it inconvenient for Ye Chen to answer.

Yet the ringing wouldn’t stop, it kept going, so Ye Chen had to pull over, glance at the caller ID—it’s Grandma Zhang.

Ye Chen called back, and after a few rings, the phone connected, “Grandma Zhang, do you need something?”

“Little Chen, I haven’t seen you for so many days. I just missed you and wanted to chat. Are you busy now?”

“Oh, Grandma Zhang, besides that, do you have any other matters?” Ye Chen didn’t answer but asked instead.

“No, no. Am I interrupting your work?” Grandma Zhang asked kindly.

Ye Chen said, “Grandma Zhang, I still have a few more deliveries. I’ll get in touch with you later, okay?”

“Okay, okay, you go on with your work, I won’t bother you.”

Hanging up, Grandma Zhang’s face showed a hint of disappointment, being home alone with no one to chat with.

Her daughter was busy with work and family and seldom visited. She thought of that kind-hearted delivery boy today and wanted to chat, but he had work and couldn’t spend time with an old lady like her.

Grandma Zhang muttered to herself, “I guess so, even my daughter doesn’t pay attention to me, let alone an outsider.”

After finishing with Grandma Zhang’s call and hearing the old lady wanted to chat, Ye Chen hurriedly sped up to finish the deliveries on his tricycle.

He didn’t even stop for lunch, and by the time he was done, it was already two in the afternoon.

With a hungry stomach, Ye Chen rode his electric tricycle swiftly, parked it, and quickly ran upstairs.

At this hour, the old lady had just woken up from her nap.

“Knock knock knock,” came the knocking from outside, followed by a young man’s voice, “Grandma Zhang, Grandma Zhang, it’s Little Chen.”

Hearing this voice, Grandma Zhang thought she was dreaming because she missed that young man so much.

As she usually did, Grandma Zhang tidied up the bed and wheeled her chair to the kitchen to make some tea.

Ye Chen knocked several times with no response, feeling a bit anxious, thinking something might have happened to Grandma Zhang.
