Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1496 - 1470: An Awkward Night

Ye Chen twitched his mouth upon hearing these words.

"Auntie, look at the time, it’s already past ten. If we keep talking, it’ll be past midnight. If you get seen leaving my room then, it’ll definitely lead to misunderstandings."

Tong Xiaoya glanced at her phone and realized it was unexpectedly late.

"I’ll take a shower in your room first," Xiaoya said.

"Alright," Ye Chen responded with a helpless expression, nodding.

Soon, Xiaoya finished her shower and emerged wrapped in a towel.

Seeing Xiaoya, Ye Chen’s face showed a hint of amazement.

He couldn’t deny that Xiaoya was truly stunning.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Xiaoya, are you there?"

"Oh no."

Upon hearing the voice, Xiaoya’s expression changed.

Ye Chen was stunned and asked, "Who is it?"

Xiaoya said, "It’s my manager, Sister Chen."

After all, Xiaoya had undressed, and if anyone saw the two of them like that now, not even the Yellow River could wash away the misunderstanding.

Quick-witted, Ye Chen covered Xiaoya with the blanket and said, "Xiaoya, hide under the blanket, I’ll go out and stall her."

Ye Chen could only act urgently and hurried outside.

He directly used the blanket to cover Xiaoya, kicked her shoes under the nearby table, and then turned to the door.

Ye Chen opened the door.

"Sister Chen."

"Mr. Ye, is Xiaoya here?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "No, she went out."

Sister Chen smiled and said, "Oh, since Xiaoya isn’t here, let’s chat for a bit."

As she spoke, Sister Chen entered the room and sat on the edge of the bed.

Ye Chen was shocked.

In his haste, one corner of the blanket wasn’t covered properly, exposing Xiaoya’s little feet.

In the dim light, the red nail polish and her white, jade-like feet were extremely enticing.

Ye Chen was terrified out of his soul.

If Sister Chen saw Xiaoya in his room with nothing on, it would be impossible to explain.

"Mr. Ye, you should know that Xiaoya’s in a period of career growth."

Ye Chen quickly blocked the corner of the blanket that exposed Xiaoya and said, "Sister Chen, don’t worry. Xiaoya and I are just friends."

"Actually, Xiaoya quite likes you, so if you like her, please don’t let her down."

After finishing, Sister Chen stood up and left.

Clang!

The door closed.

Ye Chen stared blankly in the direction Sister Chen disappeared, feeling extremely awkward.

After all, Xiaoya was still in the room.

Returning inside, Xiaoya had already gotten dressed.

"Did Sister Chen leave?"

Xiaoya was wearing a casual top and capri pants.

Her pale long legs were wrapped tightly in jeans, straight and slender, enhanced by the big waves of her hair behind her, making her even more radiant.

Maybe due to Sister Chen’s words earlier, Xiaoya’s charming face still showed a hint of blush.

Her lively, big eyes emitted a delicate shyness.

Her gentle appearance added a touch of ambiguity to the room.

"Yeah, she went someplace else to find you."

Ye Chen’s expression was somewhat embarrassed.

Xiaoya, hidden under the blanket, had heard the conversation with Sister Chen clearly.

Xiaoya’s charming face also carried a tint of bashfulness.

Xiaoya sat at the head of the bed, with her head lowered, swaying her tender little feet back and forth.

Her meek, shy demeanor was made even cuter by her red-painted toenails.

"Sister Chen, really, making it seem like I can’t find a partner."

Listening to Xiaoya, Ye Chen felt his face burning.

With her head down, Xiaoya’s fingers tangled in her hair, lost in thought.

Suddenly, Xiaoya raised her head, her eyes like autumn water gazing at Ye Chen.

Their eyes met.

Xiaoya’s charming face flushed further.

She chuckled wryly, biting her soft lips said, "Do you like me?"

As she spoke, Xiaoya’s gaze fixated ardently on Ye Chen.

Embarrassed, Ye Chen looked at Xiaoya: "Xiaoya, you’re indeed very pretty, but..."

Noticing Ye Chen’s blushing face and his stammering speech, Xiaoya burst into laughter.

"I haven’t said anything yet, but you’re already embarrassed. Alright, I’ll head back first. Tomorrow, I’ll find you at the set."

Gazing at Xiaoya’s alluring and fiery eyes, a small flame in Ye Chen’s heart ignited fervently.

Ye Chen’s heart raced, even his speech trembled slightly.

"Sure, I’ll be there tomorrow!"

Hearing Ye Chen’s reply, Xiaoya’s eyes shimmered, and her face turned even redder than before.

Xiaoya wanted to fetch her shoes herself, but since Ye Chen had kicked them under the table just now, she looked towards Ye Chen instead.

Ye Chen quickly retrieved the crystal sandals from under the table.

Although the shoes were slightly damp, they exuded a unique fragrance from Xiaoya.

Ye Chen placed the shoes in front of Xiaoya, standing awkwardly to the side.

Xiaoya bent down and put on her shoes.

As she bent over,

Ye Chen’s gaze was instantly drawn in, unable to look away.

Just as Ye Chen was in a daze, Xiaoya finished putting on her shoes and stood up.

However, the floor was too slippery, upon taking a step forward, she wobbled and fell right into Ye Chen’s embrace.

All at once, the room became silent.

Breathing in the enticing aroma, the flame in Ye Chen’s heart ignited fully!

Feeling Ye Chen’s intense gaze, Xiaoya’s body shivered slightly.

In Ye Chen’s arms at this moment, Xiaoya felt as if all her strength had been drained.

The masculine scent made Xiaoya utterly captivated.

Rumble!

A flash of lightning lit up, followed by thunder breaking their trance.

Ye Chen and Xiaoya hurriedly separated.

"Um... Xiaoya, it’s really late, Sister Chen is still looking for you, you should go back, and I’ll go with you to the set tomorrow."

Also startled by the thunder, Xiaoya blushed brightly like a ripe apple and dashed back to her room.

The next morning, Ye Chen was still drowsy when he heard a knock at the door.

Upon opening it, he saw Tong Xiaoya.

Tong Xiaoya looked at Ye Chen and said, "Lazy cat, still not up."

Ye Chen awkwardly smiled, saying, "Yeah, sorry about that, give me a moment."

After washing up, Ye Chen and Tong Xiaoya went to the dining room.

Two people had breakfast first.

Ye Chen ate a lot, including fried dough sticks and soybean milk.

But Xiaoya only had a bit of porridge.

Both were eating in silence.

Recalling what the manager said yesterday made Xiaoya’s face even redder.

Ye Chen felt equally embarrassed looking at Xiaoya.

"About yesterday..."

Xiaoya shook her head, "Ye Chen, I know you’re already engaged, I won’t blame you."

Ye Chen smiled.

He had to say, Xiaoya truly was a thoughtful girl.
