Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1233 - 1208: Shameless Man

"Sister Wan Yi, you truly don't mind me being with Ye Chen?" Song Xiaoxiao inquired, her voice laced with nervousness.

"Not at all. Ye Chen cherishes you, and I, too, have grown fond of you," Su Wanyi responded with a warm smile.

She perceived in Song Xiaoxiao a vibrant energy that she herself seemed to lack, fostering a sense of quiet envy within her.

Su Wanyi's words were sincere, devoid of any pretense or desire to impress.

A smile touched Song Xiaoxiao's lips as she shared, "Sister Wan Yi, you see, I used to live in constant apprehension. I always imagined that if you were to discover my relationship with Ye Chen, I would surely have to part ways with him. The mere thought of it caused me distress, and I even hesitated to go out with Ye Chen alone."

Hearing the young woman's candid confession, Su Wanyi felt a pang of sympathy for Song Xiaoxiao. She was also deeply pleased that Ye Chen had found someone who loved him so devotedly.

She mused that had she known earlier, she might have reached out to Song Xiaoxiao to alleviate her anxieties sooner.

"Xiaoxiao, I am truly sorry that you endured such fear for so long. In truth, I've been aware of your relationship with Ye Chen for some time; he was the one who informed me," Su Wanyi admitted with regret.

She continued, her voice brightening, "Learning that Ye Chen has another woman by his side, and that she's a university student, fills me with happiness for him. It affirms my belief that a capable man will naturally attract women, proving I didn't place my affections wrongly."

Su Xiaoxiao's nervousness evaporated upon hearing this, replaced by surprise at the unexpectedly harmonious meeting between the two women who shared a deep affection for Ye Chen.

The Su Wanyi before her exuded grace in her demeanor and a radiant self-assurance.

Although Song Xiaoxiao hailed from a privileged background, she lacked that very confidence. In comparison to Su Wanyi, she felt like a mere innocent girl.

She possessed an aura of purity and charm, distinctly different from Su Wanyi's more mature presence.

"Sister Wan Yi, please don't say that. It is I who should thank you for allowing me to remain by Ye Chen's side," Song Xiaoxiao expressed with evident joy.

"Xiaoxiao, no need for such words. It is I who should be thanking you for being there for Ye Chen when I am occupied, bringing him so much happiness," Su Wanyi countered gently.

Ye Chen, overhearing their exchange, felt a sense of surprise. While he had anticipated Su Wanyi would not cause Song Xiaoxiao trouble, he hadn't expected such genuine camaraderie to blossom between them.

The scene unfolded as if two long-lost sisters had been reunited, with an abundance of topics to discuss.

As Su Wanyi and Song Xiaoxiao conversed, the waiters began discreetly placing dishes on their table.

Yet, the two women remained engrossed, their lively discussion spanning fashion, cosmetics, perfumes, and other subjects typically favored by women.

"Ladies, if you delay any longer, your meals may grow cold," Ye Chen interjected kindly.

Only then did they notice the spread before them, and a sudden wave of hunger washed over them.

Picking up their respective cutlery, Su Wanyi and Song Xiaoxiao began savoring their steaks, their conversation momentarily silenced.

Observing the two distinct yet captivating women as they ate, Ye Chen found a quiet contentment in the moment.

Suddenly, a man's voice cut through the ambiance: "Wanyi, isn't it quite a coincidence that we should meet here?"

Su Wanyi paused, setting down her utensils. She looked up, her expression shifting to one of clear disdain as she recognized the man in the suit standing before them.

"Hello, Xiao Yang," Su Wanyi greeted him, her tone strictly polite.

After all, they had been university classmates. Despite her deep aversion to him, she maintained a facade of civility.

"Wanyi, you know, while I was abroad, my thoughts were constantly with you. I attempted to reach you several times, but my calls went unanswered," Xiao Yang lamented, his face etched with feigned sadness.

"Xiao Yang, let's leave the past in the past. There's no need to revisit it," Su Wanyi replied coolly.

It was common knowledge that this Xiao Yang had pursued Su Wanyi during their university years, and she had, at one point, reciprocated his feelings.

Under normal circumstances, their mutual affection might have led to a relationship. However, fate intervened; just as Su Wanyi was considering accepting Xiao Yang, she discovered his infidelity.

This betrayal ultimately marked the end of their potential connection.

Though heartbroken at the time, Su Wanyi channeled her energy into her career, which filled the emotional void and forged her into the formidable woman she was today.

"Why should we not bring it up? You may have moved on, but I haven't. That is precisely why I have returned to the country to find you. I acknowledge my errors from before; allow me the chance to atone. Let us begin anew," Xiao Yang declared, his voice heavy with remorse.

While Su Wanyi had never delved into this particular chapter of her past with Ye Chen, he had a reasonable understanding of the situation.

Ye Chen remained silent, observing Xiao Yang and thinking that the man appeared quite irrational, spewing such nonsensical declarations.

"Xiao Yang, don’t you think your words are quite preposterous right now?" Su Wanyi inquired, her expression etched with displeasure.

"Not preposterous at all, not even slightly. Provided you consent to be with me, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you. My heart holds only space for you," Xiao Yang declared, his features displaying an infatuated guise.

Su Wanyi found herself utterly weary of dealing with Xiao Yang and wished to utter no further words to him.

"Sir, Sister Wan Yi already has a boyfriend, so could you please cease bothering her?" Song Xiaoxiao, unable to bear it any longer, stood up and addressed Xiao Yang directly.

Xiao Yang had not given Song Xiaoxiao much thought prior to this moment, but upon observing the young lady before him, he was captivated by her undeniable charm.

He even concluded that Song Xiaoxiao possessed a more alluring presence than Su Wanyi, leading him to reconsider his initial intentions.

"Little sister, since Wanyi already has a boyfriend, why don’t you accompany me instead? I promise to cherish you dearly," Xiao Yang proposed, his gaze fixated on Song Xiaoxiao with evident covetousness.

It is indeed true that shameless individuals walk among us, yet Xiao Yang’s particular brand of shamelessness was truly unparalleled.

Mere moments ago, he had professed his undying love for Su Wanyi, asserting that his return to the country was solely to embark on a new beginning with her.

And now, he was contemplating making Song Xiaoxiao his girlfriend. Was this man truly out of his senses?

"Sir, I implore you to show some respect. I too, possess a boyfriend," Song Xiaoxiao retorted, her glare laced with annoyance.

"So what if you have a boyfriend? It doesn’t preclude you from being with me," Xiao Yang countered, reaching out his hand in an attempt to grasp Song Xiaoxiao’s.

Ye Chen found himself completely unable to tolerate the situation any longer. Xiao Yang’s pronouncements were growing increasingly absurd with each passing moment.

He could not stand idly by while this man brazenly harassed the woman he loved right in front of him.

However, before Ye Chen could voice his objections, Su Wanyi fixed Xiao Yang with a piercing stare and declared, "Xiao Yang, your audacity in uttering such words is truly shameless."

"Su Wanyi, you accuse me of shamelessness, yet you are no different. Cease your pretense of superiority. Do not presume I am unaware of the nature of the relationship between you three. I am merely affording you a measure of consideration," Xiao Yang responded with evident disdain.
