Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

”Honey, what do you want me to do? I can’t just not give her any face, right? How would you feel if you were rejected?” Ye Chen said with a troubled expression.

”Humph, can she compare to me?” Su Wanyi said discontentedly.

Ye Chen realized he had misspoken again, and quickly changed the topic: ”Okay, okay, honey, there are so many delicious things here, why let a small matter affect your mood?”

Su Wanyi wasn’t someone who dwelled on worries, and she thought leaving so much good food uneaten would be a waste. She decided to turn sorrow into appetite and eat heartily.

Seeing that the woman in front of him was no longer speaking, Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief. It seemed this matter was behind them.

”I’ll go get some food, what would you like to eat?” Su Wanyi glanced at Ye Chen and asked.

”No need, I’ll go with you.” Ye Chen said, standing up with a smile.

The couple walked toward the delicious food, and since it was just the two of them in the shop, there was no worry about running out of ingredients, so they picked leisurely.

Suddenly, Ye Chen’s phone rang, showing a strange number.

Ye Chen didn’t answer, continuing to choose food.

A while later, the phone rang again. Ye Chen glanced at it — the same number — and couldn’t help but frown.

But he still didn’t answer, and it rang a few more times, really starting to annoy him.

At this moment, Su Wanyi spoke up, ”Honey, who is it? Why are they calling so many times? You should answer, maybe it’s important.”

Hearing Su Wanyi’s words, Ye Chen helplessly answered the call, saying irritatedly, ”Who is this? What do you want?”

”Mr. Ye, sorry, it’s me calling. Did I disturb you? I’m really very sorry.” A woman’s voice came from the other end.

Ye Chen immediately recognized the voice as Shi Hui’s.

Of course, seeing Ye Chen’s expression, Su Wanyi could guess who it was.

”Yes, you are disturbing our meal.” Ye Chen said bluntly.

Shi Hui obviously knew that by ”our,” Ye Chen meant himself and his wife.

”I’m really sorry, Mr. Ye, for bothering you. I just wanted to ask when you’re free. My mother wants to invite you for a simple meal.” Shi Hui said.

”Miss Shi, why does your mother want to invite me for a meal? I haven’t even met her.” Ye Chen said with an unhappy expression.

Hearing this, Shi Hui felt a bit awkward. She hadn’t expected Ye Chen to ask this question. If it were someone else, they would surely agree or decline politely.

But Ye Chen didn’t follow the usual way, making Shi Hui a bit depressed.

”Mr. Ye, it’s like this: my mother heard that you saved me and wants to thank you by inviting you to our home for a meal.” Shi Hui explained.

She was just using this as an excuse, wanting to see Ye Chen sooner.

If the two met more often, she felt confident she could win Ye Chen over.

”Miss Shi, then please thank your mother for me.” Ye Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hui was extremely happy, knowing her plan had succeeded.

”Mr. Ye, I will. By the way, when do you have time to come to my house for dinner, so my mother can prepare?” Shi Hui continued.

”There’s no need, I probably won’t have time. Besides, we’re not familiar, and even if it wasn’t you, I’d do the same for anyone else, so let’s skip the meal.” Ye Chen directly refused.

Shi Hui was still immersed in joy, not expecting Ye Chen to speak this way.

She was stunned for quite a while, unable to react.

”Mr. Ye, what do you mean?” Shi Hui asked, puzzled.

She always felt this Ye Chen was truly different from other men, always defying her expectations.

”Miss Shi, I just stated it very clearly, well if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.” Ye Chen said expressionlessly.

He did this to make Shi Hui give up completely, having no feelings for her whatsoever.

Moreover, with Su Wanyi right by his side, he didn’t want her to keep misunderstanding.

Though this might hurt the woman on the other side, it was the most straightforward solution.

Shi Hui never imagined Ye Chen would reject her so decisively, dealing a heavy blow to her heart.

”Honey, you heard what I said just now, right? You can relax now.” Ye Chen said to Su Wanyi.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Su Wanyi’s face, no longer looking as worried as before.

”What did you say? I didn’t hear anything.” Su Wanyi said nonchalantly while eating her food.

”Honey, you can’t bully people like this.” Ye Chen pretended to be aggrieved.

”How did I bully you? Don’t you falsely accuse people.” Su Wanyi retorted.

The two were joking around like a couple in love.

Strangely enough, when Ye Chen and Su Wanyi first started dating, they didn’t joke so sweetly.

Contrarily, as they spent more time together, they transformed into a more affectionate pair. While others might become colder, they only grew sweeter.

Just as Ye Chen was about to speak again, the phone rang once more.

Taking a look, it was again a strange number. Ye Chen assumed it was Shi Hui calling, so upon answering, said irritably: ”Miss Shi, I’m really busy.”

”Oh, Mr. Ye, miss Shi is here where you live?” The voice from the other end was a man’s, laughing.

Ye Chen found the man’s voice very familiar and, after a moment, said: ”Boss Yu, what’s the matter for calling me?”

”Boss Ye, I really didn’t expect you would do such a thing, you really surprised me.” Yu Yang said, laughing.

Ye Chen certainly understood what Yu Yang meant by this, though he still feigned ignorance: ”Boss Yu, I don’t understand what you’re talking about, what did I do?”

”Boss Ye, you held a press conference accusing me of poaching, really ruthless.” Yu Yang said with a displeased expression.

”Whether it’s slander, you know deep down, no need for me to clarify. If I dared to hold the press conference, it’s because I have evidence, don’t doubt that. Also, if you think it’s slander, feel free to sue me, I’ll be waiting.” Ye Chen said, smiling.

He certainly knew Yu Yang was feeling guilty and wouldn’t dare to actually sue — that’d only be shooting himself in the foot.

Yu Yang wasn’t foolish enough to do something so stupid.
