Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Ye Chen smiled at her, and Zhang Xu saw it all.

He felt a bit unwilling in his heart—why could Ye Chen have Song Xiaoxiao, while he could only watch the two being lovey-dovey from the sidelines?

Even so, Zhang Xu didn’t show it on his face.

Because he had already planned that on the day of the match with Ye Chen, he not only wanted to defeat his rival but also win Song Xiaoxiao back.

Watching the backs of Song Xiaoxiao and Ye Chen leaving, Zhang Xu clenched his fists, his face showing an angry expression.

This was a feeling he hid for a long time, finally bursting out.

Song Xiaoxiao pulled Ye Chen away from the soccer field, with a worried look on her face.

Since seeing Zhang Xu, the smile on the girl’s face had disappeared.

Ye Chen teased, ”Xiaoxiao, why do I feel like someone owes you money? Why so unhappy?”

”Ye Chen, how can you still be in the mood to joke here? Do you know how skilled Zhang Xu is at soccer? Why did you agree to the match?” Song Xiaoxiao asked helplessly.

”Alright, alright, I thought something major was going on. Turns out it’s just because of this.” Ye Chen comforted.

”It’s not a small matter; you’re unaware of Zhang Xu’s character. I know him very well.”

At this moment, Song Xiaoxiao felt she misspoke and didn’t continue.

”You know Zhang Xu well?” Ye Chen pretended to be angry.

Song Xiaoxiao quickly explained, fearing Ye Chen might misunderstand, ”It’s not what you think. I have nothing with Zhang Xu; he’s just been pursuing me and even pursued one of my good friends. His character is very bad. I worry he might resent you seeing us together and use the match to embarrass you.”

Of course, Ye Chen knew that what Song Xiaoxiao said was true, and she was thinking about him.

He smiled and said, ”Xiaoxiao, don’t worry. Whatever Zhang Xu plans won’t succeed. I just want him to see that challenging me won’t be worthwhile, so he won’t dare to bother you again.”

”Ye Chen, soccer is Zhang Xu’s strong suit—you can’t possibly beat him,” Song Xiaoxiao still wore a worried expression.

”Xiaoxiao, the match hasn’t even happened yet. Why undermine our morale and boost his? Besides, how do you know my skills aren’t as good as Zhang Xu’s?” Ye Chen retorted.

Listening to Ye Chen, Song Xiaoxiao’s concerns didn’t vanish, but she stopped speaking.

After all, Ye Chen is a man; if she kept praising Zhang Xu’s skills, Ye Chen would definitely not like it.

There’s no need for the two of them to argue over this matter.

Before meeting Ye Chen, Song Xiaoxiao wanted to cherish every moment with him, so there’s no point in getting upset over small things.

Ye Chen stopped and looked at Song Xiaoxiao seriously, ”Xiaoxiao, trust me. Since I agreed to the match with Zhang Xu, I have the confidence.”

Song Xiaoxiao nodded, smiled, and said, ”Alright, Ye Chen, when we’re together, why talk about others? Come on, let me take you somewhere else to feel the university life.”

”Sure, Tour Guide Song, thank you,” Ye Chen said.

Song Xiaoxiao led Ye Chen to the library, but they only took a glance and didn’t go inside to read.

There’s no denying that the library in this school is really big, filled with students either reading or doing homework, with a very strong study atmosphere.

Ye Chen had left school for years, and seeing the scene before him made him eager to return to the campus.

Leaving the library, it was just noon.

”Xiaoxiao, I have to go now. You should get lunch too,” Ye Chen said.

Just as he was about to turn away, Song Xiaoxiao called him back.

”Ye Chen, I want you to have lunch with me.”

Ye Chen turned back and asked, ”At the school cafeteria?”

”Yes, at the school cafeteria,” the girl in front nodded.

”Alright, I’m hungry too,” Ye Chen agreed readily.

Since graduating, he hadn’t eaten in a school cafeteria for a long time and missed it quite a bit.

Song Xiaoxiao wore a blissful expression, holding Ye Chen’s arm as they walked into the cafeteria.

There weren’t many people in the cafeteria at the time.

However, seeing Song Xiaoxiao and Ye Chen walk in, the students inside looked at them with envious eyes.

Ye Chen and Song Xiaoxiao had long been accustomed to such attention.

Strolling on campus, they constantly attracted the gazes of people around.

Ye Chen was undeniably handsome, and Song Xiaoxiao was pure and beautiful. Together, they were a beautiful sight in the campus.

”Wow, it’s the first time I’ve seen a guy so close to Song Xiaoxiao.”

”I guess that handsome guy is Song Xiaoxiao’s boyfriend.”

”That girl is really secretive; her boyfriend is outstanding.”

Of course, Song Xiaoxiao heard the surrounding girls’ chatter.

She showed no embarrassment, but instead looked at Ye Chen generously and asked, ”Ye Chen, what do you want to eat? I’ll buy it for you.”

Although Ye Chen wanted to treat Song Xiaoxiao to a meal, he didn’t have a meal card for this school, so he could only let her buy the food.

This was the first time Ye Chen let a girl pay for his meal, causing him a bit of embarrassment.

”Xiaoxiao, you probably eat here often—definitely know what’s tasty. I’ll have whatever you have,” Ye Chen said.

”Alright, leave it to me,” Song Xiaoxiao said as she walked to the food counter.

Ye Chen found a seat near the corner, not out of fear, mainly to avoid causing trouble for Song Xiaoxiao.

After all, he wasn’t a student here, yet Song Xiaoxiao brought him to the cafeteria.

If they met someone jealous of Song Xiaoxiao, they would definitely report her.

Soon, Song Xiaoxiao came over with a tray towards Ye Chen.

On the tray were two bowls of rice, sweet and sour ribs, fish-flavored shredded chicken, pineapple chicken pieces, eight treasure tofu, and seaweed egg drop soup.

”Ye Chen, how are these dishes? Do they suit your taste?” Song Xiaoxiao asked as she sat down.

Looking at the enticing dishes, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, thinking that the girl really knew him well.

”Very good, but you shouldn’t have spent so much,” Ye Chen joked.

”Consider this meal a thank you for saving my life,” Song Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.

”You didn’t say—otherwise I’d forgotten you still owe me a meal. This one doesn’t count,” Ye Chen shook his head.

Song Xiaoxiao looked aggrieved, ”I want to take you out for lunch, but...”

Ye Chen didn’t let her finish because he knew whatever she said would rekindle her worries.
