Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1113: Receiving Bai Suzhen’s Gift

Seeing Ye Chen about to leave, Bai Suzhen suddenly said, ”Sir, please wait.”

Ye Chen hurriedly stopped in his tracks, looked at the beauty in front of him, and thought, ”Could this White Snake be eager to marry me right now?”

”Miss Bai, is there anything else?” Ye Chen asked with a smile.

”Sir, take this Golden Silk Armor; it is impervious to blades and swords, ensuring your safety. You must return quickly; we will be waiting for you here.”

As Bai Suzhen spoke, tears were about to fall from her eyes.

Ye Chen could see her reluctance to part, but there was no other way. He had to return to his world and couldn’t stay here for long.

Besides, he wasn’t really Xu Xian, and Bai Suzhen was seeking Xu Xian to repay a kindness.

There was no bond of kindness between Ye Chen and her, nor would there be any subsequent developments.

”Sister, don’t be like this. The gentleman is just going home to say a word; it’s not like he’s not coming back.” Xiaoqing quickly comforted her.

But Xiaoqing was right; once Ye Chen left, he wouldn’t return, and knowing when they would meet again was uncertain.

Although he was reluctant to leave the beauty, there was no choice. The delivery was complete, and his task was also accomplished.

Watching Ye Chen’s departing figure, Bai Suzhen felt immense reluctance; she foolishly waited there for Ye Chen to return.

After bidding farewell to the two sisters, Ye Chen found an empty alley, then opened a wormhole and walked in.

Just then, an old man chopping wood passed by, seeing the scene hurriedly knelt down.

He kept shouting, ”Immortal, Immortal.”

And so, the old man mistakenly thought Ye Chen was a god and kept kneeling and kowtowing until Ye Chen disappeared into the wormhole.

Ye Chen returned to the real world and drove away.

Halfway, his phone kept ringing.

He glanced at it and saw it was Song Xiaoxiao calling again, though he couldn’t blame her; mainly because several times, Ye Chen had hung up before she finished speaking.

The girl felt something was off with Ye Chen, convinced he had encountered something, feeling both anxious and angry inside.

”Xiaoxiao, what’s up?” Ye Chen answered the call, smiling as he asked.

”Ye Chen, what on earth is going on? Why do you keep hanging up on me?” Song Xiaoxiao said angrily.

”Xiaoxiao, it’s like this, do you remember the female clerk at the claw machine shop who spoke up for us that day? She...”

Upon hearing this, a warning arose in Song Xiaoxiao’s heart, and the girl’s image flashed in her mind.

There’s no denying that girl was indeed quite beautiful, the kind of beauty one can’t forget after just one glance.

”Ye Chen, how could you possibly fall for someone else?” At this moment, Song Xiaoxiao’s eyes were red with tears ready to fall.

Ye Chen thought, what’s going on, and he hadn’t finished speaking yet.

”Xiaoxiao, calm down first, can you listen to me finish?”

Ye Chen already heard the sobs from the other end and quickly said.

”Okay, let’s see what you have to say.” Song Xiaoxiao wiped her tears, her tone a bit cold.

”Here’s what happened, yesterday she was kidnapped because of me. I’ve rescued her, but her face is disfigured.”

He simply explained the situation to Song Xiaoxiao, without mentioning Zhao Ziwei escaping from the hospital and him bringing her back.

Girls can be a bit narrow-minded, and Ye Chen feared that the more he said, the more it would make Song Xiaoxiao speculate wildly.

”That girl named Zhao Ziwei is really pitiful, Ye Chen, you have to take good care of her.” Song Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said.

Although she didn’t want her boyfriend to take care of another girl, Zhao Ziwei was disfigured because of Ye Chen.

Even if she didn’t say anything, Ye Chen would frequently go to the hospital; she might as well appear magnanimous.

”Xiaoxiao, don’t worry.” Ye Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Song Xiaoxiao speak like this made Ye Chen very happy, at least the two people wouldn’t have a conflict over him visiting Zhao Ziwei at the hospital.

But there was still one thing troubling Ye Chen, which was the promise he made to Zhao Ziwei’s mother, saying he would take care of the girl for life.

When Ye Chen said that, he truly meant it, but how would he explain this to Song Xiaoxiao?

Just then, Song Xiaoxiao suddenly said, ”Alright, Ye Chen, I won’t talk to you anymore. Since last night, I’ve been worrying about you, overthinking, and didn’t sleep well. Now I need a good nap, I still have a class with the professor this afternoon.”

Now that Song Xiaoxiao knew the reason for Ye Chen hanging up, the weight in her heart was lifted.

She still had her studies to complete, so she couldn’t devote most of her energy to Ye Chen.

Song Xiaoxiao wasn’t a clingy girl; she thought as long as Ye Chen was there when she needed him, it was enough.

The rest of the time, they both had their own space.

”Mm, silly girl, you have a good rest.” Ye Chen finished the call and hung up.

He drove forward and saw a cake shop by the roadside.

Ye Chen thought, ”Girls probably all love sweets, right?”

Thinking of buying a cake, then delivering it to Song Xiaoxiao’s school, and inviting her to dinner tonight as an apology.

After all, he felt guilty for making the girl worry about him for so long.

Parking the car on the side, Ye Chen was just about to walk into the store when suddenly a group of burly men with sticks in their hands and tattoos appeared out of nowhere.

Their arrival frightened passersby, who turned pale and shouted.

Ye Chen, with his keen senses, knew these people were targeting him.

He watched the approaching burly men warily. They outnumbered him, and clearly, he was at a disadvantage.

Moreover, in such a public place, Ye Chen couldn’t use any special moves.

In modern times, with large crowds, you never know who might upload a video of the fight online, which would lead to trouble.

But facing so many people, doing nothing wasn’t an option either; Ye Chen couldn’t afford to lose his life.

”Run.”

The word flashed through Ye Chen’s mind.

Ye Chen’s speed was unrivaled; he hastened his pace and ran into the distance.

The group of burly men followed closely behind.

As long as he reached a deserted area, Ye Chen could deal with them.

He could easily outpace them, but Ye Chen’s approach was to eliminate the threat entirely.

After about half an hour of running, he still hadn’t shaken the tail.

Seeing a dead end ahead, Ye Chen knew there was no one around, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

The burly men, seeing Ye Chen cornered, also smiled, thinking, ”Today, this kid is doomed.”
