Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1205 1180: You Will Always Be the Love of My Life
Previously on Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group...
"Ye Chen, but..." Su Wanyi interjected, her expression alight with excitement.
Before Su Wanyi could finish, Ye Chen cut her off, "Alright, Wanyi, this is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you."
Gazing at the man before her, Su Wanyi felt a surge of warmth. She had never imagined Ye Chen would willingly step forward to assist her in managing the company.
She recalled Ye Chen previously mentioning his distaste for restrictions and his love for a life of freedom and ease.
He had also expressed his dislike for the deceit and machinations common in the business world, maintaining a consistent refusal to be involved.
Yet, today, Ye Chen had reconsidered for her sake, and Su Wanyi understood the immense difficulty of this decision for him.
"Ye Chen, thank you," Su Wanyi murmured with a smile, nestling into his embrace.
"Good, good, Little Chen, well done. Father indeed did not misjudge you," Father Su beamed.
Mrs. Su also offered a smile. With Ye Chen now helping her daughter, her worries began to dissipate.
"Mom and Dad, I will take a look to understand the situation tomorrow, then head to the school to register," Ye Chen stated with a serious demeanor.
Father Su waved a dismissive hand. "Little Chen, do you truly need to handle this personally? Though I am old, I can still assist you with these matters."
As he spoke, he retrieved a folder from a nearby drawer and presented it to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen opened it to find pages filled with study materials alongside a prominently placed registration form.
It became apparent that his father-in-law had already managed every detail, summoning him not for consultation but to announce a decision already made.
Looking at the familiar old man opposite him, Ye Chen mused to himself about the old saying, 'old ginger is more potent'.
Now that he had committed to partnering with Su Wanyi in the business arena, Ye Chen acknowledged the necessity of learning from his father-in-law.
Su Wanyi accepted the bag from Ye Chen and then glanced at her father.
Father Su admitted sheepishly, "I was concerned you might be too occupied, so I took care of everything in advance for Little Chen to save him time. As a man, I understand Little Chen; he truly cherishes his wife. Wanyi, you are incredibly fortunate to have found Ye Chen."
Su Wanyi rolled her eyes at her father, considering the entire situation to be meticulously planned.
Amidst their conversation, Mrs. Su departed for the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Initially, Ye Chen should have felt pleased that his father-in-law had handled the registration arrangements.
However, upon seeing the name of the university he was slated to register for the next day, his heart sank.
This was precisely the institution Song Xiaoxiao attended. Could it be that his father-in-law was aware of his past connection with Song Xiaoxiao?
A short while later, Mrs. Su summoned the three of them for dinner.
Laughter and conversation filled the dining table, creating a very congenial atmosphere.
The sole anomaly was Ye Chen's apparent distraction.
The Su parents and Su Wanyi all took note of this change.
Father Su and Mrs. Su did not dwell on it, presuming Ye Chen might feel apprehensive about returning to student life.
However, Su Wanyi harbored a degree of concern.
Following the meal, Father Su initially proposed a game of chess with Ye Chen. But Su Wanyi, feigning tiredness, used it as an excuse to return home early with Ye Chen.
Father Su and Mrs. Su found this agreeable; if the couple returned home sooner, perhaps they might soon have a grandchild.
Upon departing the Su residence, Ye Chen commenced driving, glancing at Su Wanyi beside him. "Wanyi, where are we going?" he inquired.
"What do you think?" Su Wanyi playfully retorted.
Ye Chen pondered internally, how could he possibly know her destination? Typically, Su Wanyi would return to the company, and he assumed it would be the same this time.
Noticing Ye Chen's silence, Su Wanyi pouted. "Ye Chen, were you planning to send me back to the company? We haven't seen each other in days; don't you miss me?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a pang of injustice, thinking how could he not miss Su Wanyi?
But what use was yearning when, in Su Wanyi's heart, her career seemed to hold precedence over him.
"Wanyi, of course, I miss you. I wish you were with me every single day," Ye Chen articulated sentiments he had previously kept unspoken.
Her eyes welled up with tears upon hearing his heartfelt declaration.
"Wanyi, don't cry. What's wrong?" Witnessing Su Wanyi's distress, Ye Chen felt a deep ache in his heart.
He had always found it most difficult to witness women cry, particularly the one he loved.
"It's nothing. I just feel like I owe you so much; I'm not a good enough girlfriend," Su Wanyi confessed.
"Firstly, you owe me nothing. Secondly, you are not merely my girlfriend; you are my wife. You must remember that. If you misunderstand this again, I shall have to administer a punishment," Ye Chen replied with a smile.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, a wave of sweetness washed over Su Wanyi, as if she had tasted honey.
In truth, Ye Chen's feelings mirrored his words; despite the presence of many women in his life, they were merely companions, while Su Wanyi held the sole position of his wife in his heart.
Furthermore, Ye Chen had already resolved that he would eventually marry Su Wanyi, and if the other women were not amenable, he would not compel them.
Ye Chen had been honest with those women regarding his emotions. Their choice to be with him was their own, and they were all aware of each other's existence.
"Alright, I was mistaken; I will certainly take your words to heart," Su Wanyi replied, her voice filled with joy.
She then turned her gaze to Ye Chen, inquiring, "Ye Chen, why do I sense a preoccupation about you tonight? Is it perhaps related to the conversation your father had with you?"
Shaking his head, Ye Chen responded, "It's not that. I simply found it peculiar that Father enrolled me in the same school as Song Xiaoxiao. Could he be aware of my relationship with Song Xiaoxiao?"
Since Su Wanyi had asked, Ye Chen saw no reason to conceal his perplexity.
Su Wanyi is aware of Song Xiaoxiao's presence in Ye Chen's life and also believes her to be a rather pleasant individual.
"Yes, I too find it somewhat unusual, but rest assured, if Father inquires, I will simply state the truth. After all, I also believe Song Xiaoxiao is a wonderful girl. I am content with you having such a woman in your life, so Father certainly won't object. Don't worry," Su Wanyi conveyed with a smile.
"You are truly the best wife; I shall have to offer you a worthy reward once we return home," Ye Chen declared, gently stroking Su Wanyi's hair.
Su Wanyi possesses a confident and open-minded disposition; as long as those women genuinely loved Ye Chen, she would not raise any objections.
The underlying reason for Su Wanyi's accommodating attitude was to compensate for her inability to be constantly by Ye Chen's side due to the demands of her career.
Consequently, she envisioned other women accompanying Ye Chen, and Su Wanyi harbored the conviction that regardless of how many women were in his life, she would forever remain his most cherished love.
