Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1227 1202: The Thing I Worried About Happened After All

It's truly akin to the sun rising from the west; Su Wanyi actually appeared at the school to find Ye Chen.

Ye Chen hastened his steps toward the school entrance, concerned the young lady might grow impatient.

Spotting Ye Chen approaching, Su Wanyi waved, her voice carrying a playful tone, "Surprised? A pleasant surprise, perhaps?"

Internally, Ye Chen mused, "This isn't a surprise, it's a shock."

However, he kept his thoughts unspoken, offering a smile instead. "Wanyi, what brings you here?"

"Naturally, I'm here to check up on you, to ensure you aren't causing any mischief," Su Wanyi replied with a sly grin.

"Wanyi, I've been exceptionally well-behaved. My time at school has been solely dedicated to my studies," Ye Chen declared, feigning a wronged expression.

"Just attending school for your studies? That's difficult for me to believe," Su Wanyi questioned, a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.

Ye Chen put on a slightly aggrieved act. "Wanyi, this school was selected by our father for me; it has no connection to my own choices."

"Alright, alright, why have you become so resistant to teasing? I'll stop now," Su Wanyi said, observing Ye Chen.

She then added, "Speaking of which, Ye Chen, if my memory serves me right, isn't Song Xiaoxiao attending this school?"

"Yes, she's a third-year student here," Ye Chen confirmed readily, without a second thought.

"Oh, what perfect timing! I can visit you at school and meet your little girlfriend," Su Wanyi remarked with a knowing wink.

"Certainly, but she's currently in class. We'll need to wait a bit. Can you spare the time, considering how busy you are?" Ye Chen inquired, scratching his head.

Su Wanyi responded, "I specifically made time to visit both of you. Of course, if you'd rather I didn't meet her, then never mind."

Ye Chen considered that the two women would inevitably meet, so the timing made little difference.

"How could I possibly not want you to?" Ye Chen responded with a smile.

"Very well, let's wait for her here then," Su Wanyi agreed, nodding.

"How about I give you a tour of the school? Let you experience campus life," Ye Chen suggested.

"Never mind the tour; let's just wait for her here," Su Wanyi declined.

Her reluctance stemmed from considering that it might be somewhat awkward for the two to encounter each other within the school grounds, prioritizing Song Xiaoxiao's comfort.

"As you wish," Ye Chen acquiesced.

"By the way, Wanyi, have you had lunch yet?" Ye Chen suddenly inquired.

He was aware that Su Wanyi often neglected meals due to her demanding work schedule.

"No, I'm on a diet, so I'm skipping lunch today," Su Wanyi replied with a smile.

"Wanyi, skipping meals is detrimental to your health. Stomach acid can cause significant harm to your body," Ye Chen cautioned.

"Alright, Ye Chen, stop nagging like Monk Tang. I know what I'm doing," Su Wanyi retorted, casting Ye Chen a pointed look.

When it came to meals, Ye Chen often acted like the persistent Monk Tang, frequently lecturing her.

They continued their conversation for a while longer. Ye Chen glanced at the clock; it was nearing the end of Song Xiaoxiao's class.

He attempted to call Song Xiaoxiao, but perhaps her phone was on silent during class, as she didn't answer.

Ye Chen tried calling multiple times, yet Song Xiaoxiao remained unreachable.

"Your little girlfriend isn't picking up. Are you two perhaps having a disagreement?" Su Wanyi inquired, observing Ye Chen.

"No, she likely just set her phone to silent. Let's forget it for now and find something else to do," Ye Chen suggested.

"Understood. Another time then. There will be other opportunities," Su Wanyi concurred.

"Where would you like to go?" Ye Chen asked.

Su Wanyi remained silent, instead focusing her gaze on the handsome man before her, a playful smirk gracing her lips.

Ye Chen understood her unspoken wish and was about to start the car.

Just then, Song Xiaoxiao's call suddenly came through.

Ye Chen answered, and an apologetic feminine voice spoke from the phone, "Ye Chen, I'm so sorry. I couldn't hear my phone during class, and I saw you called multiple times. I sincerely apologize."

Su Wanyi overheard Song Xiaoxiao's voice and smiled. She found the girl's earnest apology for missing calls quite endearing.

This, she mused, was the charm of a young girl; it instantly struck her as a simple, genuine person.

"It's alright. Did I perhaps disrupt your class?" Ye Chen asked quickly.

"No, not at all. By the way, Ye Chen, why were you trying to reach me?" Song Xiaoxiao inquired.

"Of course, I wanted to invite you out to have some fun. Do you have any more classes scheduled? I'm waiting for you at the school gate," Ye Chen asked directly.

"Let me check. I don't have any further classes. Wait for me, I'll be right out," Song Xiaoxiao replied cheerfully.

In reality, Song Xiaoxiao did have two more classes, but they were deemed non-essential.

After ending the call, Su Wanyi offered Ye Chen a smile.

"Wanyi, what's with the smile?" Ye Chen inquired.

"I just get the impression your little girlfriend is completely devoted to you. She seems to truly adore you," Su Wanyi commented.

"She's merely a young girl; she can't compare to you," Ye Chen replied as he exited the vehicle.

Moments later, a beautiful figure appeared from the school's entrance – it was Song Xiaoxiao.

Since Su Wanyi had remained seated inside the car, Song Xiaoxiao hadn't noticed her presence.

Upon spotting Ye Chen standing beside the car door, Song Xiaoxiao rushed forward and leaped into his embrace.

"Ye Chen, I missed you terribly," she exclaimed with a beaming smile.

"Xiaoxiao, you're being a little dramatic. We only saw each other this afternoon," Ye Chen said, sounding resigned.

"Oh, can you not understand romance?" Song Xiaoxiao asked in a playful, coquettish tone.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault," Ye Chen conceded quickly.

"Fine, I accept your apology. By the way, let's not go out. Let's just stay here at the school," Song Xiaoxiao suddenly released Ye Chen and declared.

"Xiaoxiao, why? Did something happen?" Ye Chen inquired, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"I'm afraid of running into your main girlfriend, Su Wanyi," Song Xiaoxiao confessed.

Ye Chen was on the verge of informing Song Xiaoxiao that Su Wanyi was, in fact, present.

However, before Ye Chen could utter a word, Su Wanyi alighted from the car and addressed Song Xiaoxiao with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, is that your name? I am Su Wanyi, the one you mentioned."

Witnessing the woman emerge from the car and hearing her self-introduction, Song Xiaoxiao froze in astonishment.

Song Xiaoxiao's face drained of color; she realized the main girlfriend and the Third Mistress had indeed crossed paths.

"Ye Chen, why didn't you tell me you knew she'd be here?" Song Xiaoxiao whispered to Ye Chen.

"I found out just now myself," Ye Chen responded with a shrug.

Su Wanyi observed Song Xiaoxiao's discomfort, sensing she might be intimidated.

She quickly added, "Xiaoxiao, please forgive my sudden appearance. My main intention was to see Ye Chen at the school, and I thought I might encounter you as well."

"See me?" Song Xiaoxiao mused to herself.

She understood then that the very thing she had dreaded the most had transpired.
