Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1544 - 1518: An Awkward Dinner

Ye Chen answered the phone, and before Su Wanyi could speak, he quickly said.

"Honey, I was just about to call you. I’ll be back in the afternoon, and I’ve been busy at the hospital all this time. Now, I’ve finally finished."

Su Wanyi said with concern.

"Hubby, you must be exhausted. You’ve worked so hard. I should have helped you. I’m sorry."

Ye Chen felt secretly delighted, thinking he was so clever to have smoothened things over like this.

Instead of blaming him, Su Wanyi felt a bit guilty.

"No need, I know your company can’t do without you, so I didn’t call you. Don’t worry, I’ve sorted everything out."

Ye Chen smiled and said.

"Oh, that’s good."

Su Wanyi nodded and said.

"Honey, when will you be home? I’ll make some food for you."

"No need. Get some rest when you get home. I’m out with Teacher Fan’s daughter; we’ll eat outside in a bit, and then head back to the hospital."

Ye Chen spoke honestly.

He thought if he told Su Wanyi this, she wouldn’t have any thoughts about it.

"Alright, I’ll go see Teacher Fan tomorrow."

Su Wanyi hung up after saying this.

Fan Ying overheard their conversation and understood.

No wonder Ye Chen spoke as he did earlier.

Fan Ying’s cheerful mood suddenly took a turn.

Turns out, her crush, Ye Chen, had a girlfriend, and they even called each other hubby and honey.

Ye Chen didn’t notice Fan Ying’s change in mood.

He just felt awkward that Fan Ying overheard his conversation with Su Wanyi.

"Yingying, sorry if I embarrassed you."

Ye Chen scratched his head awkwardly and said.

Hearing this, Fan Ying forced a smile.

"Brother Ye Chen, I’m genuinely happy for you, finding a girlfriend who cares for you so much."

"Yeah, I also feel so lucky to meet a girl like Wanyi."

Ye Chen couldn’t help but beam with happiness whenever he mentioned Su Wanyi.

From Ye Chen’s expression and words, Fan Ying could sense his deep love for the girl.

"Actually, I think Sister Wan Yi is lucky to have a boyfriend like Brother Ye Chen."

Fan Ying sighed and said.

"Ah, if my future boyfriend were Brother Ye Chen, that would be wonderful."

"Little girl, what kind of things are you thinking about? Should you be thinking about such things at your age?"

Fan Ying didn’t feel embarrassed. Her mind had always been occupied with Ye Chen, especially after meeting him, her feelings intensified.

"Brother Ye Chen, I’m not a kid anymore, am I? Why can’t I think about it?"

Fan Ying asked confidently.

Ye Chen really didn’t know how to respond, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Yingying, let’s go eat. How about I take you to a Western restaurant?"

"Great, Brother Ye Chen."

Fan Ying said with anticipation.

"Alright, let’s go."

Ye Chen took Fan Ying into the Western restaurant, where the ambiance was quite romantic.

The restaurant had a couple-centric theme, and obviously, most patrons were couples.

Entering, Ye Chen felt a bit awkward. It wasn’t like this before; how did the theme change today?

Guided by a female server, they reached a window-side seat.

"Yingying, take a look at what you’d like to eat."

Ye Chen handed the menu to Fan Ying.

Upon seeing the menu, Fan Ying’s cheeks turned a little rosy.

"Brother Ye Chen, why don’t you choose."

She handed the menu back to Ye Chen.

With curiosity, Ye Chen flipped through the menu and finally understood why Fan Ying’s cheeks were flushed.

The little girl was shy.

Because the menu was filled with couple-themed combos, names like "heart to heart," "passionate love," "flying together," all related to romance.

Ye Chen felt awkward and scratched his head.

He realized Fan Ying must have misunderstood him.

This place was where only couples would come, so being here with someone else implied a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

"Sir, Miss, are you ready to order?"

Fan Ying said nothing, with her face still red and her heart racing.

Just listening to his conversation with his girlfriend, Fan Ying thought she had no chance.

To her surprise, Brother Ye Chen brought her to such a place; was he trying to imply something?

Ye Chen feared Fan Ying might misunderstand, so he quickly asked the server.

"Why did your theme change? It’s all couple meals here."

"Yes, sir, our theme is couples, so naturally, we have couple meals."

Ye Chen forgot that the last time he came here with Su Wanyi was months ago.

They hadn’t been here for a while, so he didn’t know the restaurant’s theme had changed.

But since they were already here, leaving now seemed inappropriate.

He thought Fan Ying was carefree and wouldn’t mind it.

"Yingying, which meal would you like to order?"

Ye Chen asked Fan Ying.

Her cheeks were adorably flushed.

Embarrassed, she pointed to the "flying together" meal and said.

"Let’s go with this."

Ye Chen nodded and said.

"Alright, let’s order this."

After the server left, Ye Chen scratched his head and said.

"Yingying, I’m sorry, I really didn’t know it changed here. You don’t mind, do you?"

Afraid Feng Ying would misunderstand, Ye Chen quickly said.

"It’s fine, Brother Ye Chen. I think it’s nice."

Fan Ying said with a smile.

She found it amusing to see Ye Chen so flustered for the first time.

Ye Chen truly felt awkward now, taking Teacher Fan’s daughter to a couple’s restaurant for dinner.

If Teacher Fan and his wife found out, they surely wouldn’t be happy.

However, Ye Chen felt Fan Ying wouldn’t mention it.

After a while, the server brought out the dishes.

"Sir, Miss, your dishes are ready. Please enjoy."

Fan Ying joyfully began eating.

Ye Chen, however, didn’t have much appetite, feeling somewhat frustrated. He never expected the situation to unfold this way.

"Brother Ye Chen, why aren’t you eating? The steak here is really delicious."

Fan Ying glanced at Ye Chen.

"Oh, Yingying, eat more. If it’s not enough, we’ll order more."

Ye Chen nodded at the girl.

At that moment, he truly felt awkward. Had he known it was a couple’s restaurant, he would never have come with Fan Ying.
