You’re actually the owner of DouNet. Earlier, I wondered how much money you spent to buy the tickets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled, “Silly girl, these tickets can’t be bought with money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, that’s what I realized after talking with friends, I knew it wasn’t just about spending money. I always had this doubt,” Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now you know,” Ye Chen said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, but I’m really curious about how you became the owner of DouNet,” Xiaoxiao continued to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen thought about how this girl had so many questions, feeling a bit overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a long story,” Ye Chen said deliberately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he was deciding on what to say, the waiter brought the grilled fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aroma made Xiaoxiao drool, ready to dig in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up her chopsticks and said, “No more listening to you, I’m starting to eat fish now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two ate in silence, and soon the fish was reduced to bones, with Xiaoxiao contributing more to its disappearance than Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t expect this girl could eat so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoxiao, a bit embarrassed, said, “Ye Chen, don’t laugh at me. I just can’t resist this sweet and spicy food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve never seen a girl eat so much, have you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she said, it was indeed Ye Chen’s first time seeing a girl eat this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, he didn’t say it outright, mainly to avoid awkwardness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eating more is good for your health, you’re still growing,” Ye Chen teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, you’re treating me like a child, that’s too much!” Xiaoxiao pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen rolled his eyes, “You’re younger than me, so it’s not wrong to say that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This comment left Xiaoxiao speechless, her face turning red with frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. So, after dinner, where are you planning to go?” Ye Chen changed the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xiaoxiao didn’t respond, Ye Chen thought they couldn’t just stay in the store forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I admit I was wrong, okay?” Ye Chen hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that Xiaoxiao claimed not to be a child, yet her little temper was really impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean by ‘admit you were wrong’? You were wrong anyways, okay.” Xiaoxiao insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, okay, whatever you say.” Ye Chen said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, women are illogical, regardless of being little or grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two left the grilled fish shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked at Xiaoxiao and asked again, “Where do you want to go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A fun place,” Xiaoxiao replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This “fun place” was indeed a challenge for Ye Chen; how could a grown man know what girls mean by a fun place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about I just take you home,” Ye Chen scratched his head and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, I see you just don’t want to stay with me,” Xiaoxiao showed a little temper again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen asked, “How about we go watch a movie?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about we go shopping?” Ye Chen suggested again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching movies and shopping are things women love to do, yet both were rejected by Xiaoxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t know what to do. This time he also showed a bit of temper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls can be pampered, but it’s not acceptable if they can’t be appeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped paying attention to Xiaoxiao and walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen’s actions, Xiaoxiao realized she might have been a bit over the top and hurriedly followed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two passed by a claw machine shop, and Xiaoxiao stood still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen pretended to be angry, but he noticed the girl had stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to Xiaoxiao and asked, “Do you want to try the claw machine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, but I’ve tried a few times and couldn’t get anything,” Xiaoxiao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing with claw machines is fun for young people, although the dolls in there can be purchased, the experience feels different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course you can’t, but I’m different,” Ye Chen said as he pulled Xiaoxiao inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked at the girl beside him and asked, “Tell me which one you like, I’ll catch it for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the people in the claw machine shop were girls, and there were also some guys like Ye Chen accompanying their girlfriends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just stepping inside, Ye Chen’s handsome appearance caught the eyes of many girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, quick, look, a handsome guy just walked in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this big star?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t think it’s a big star; those people outside are all covered up tightly, afraid of being recognized.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do I feel like he’s even more attractive than a star, love it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls were only focused on watching Ye Chen, without noticing Xiaoxiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, someone suddenly noticed Ye Chen walking hand in hand with a girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight made those admiring Ye Chen a bit disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is God so cruel, the guy I like already has a girlfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I just fell in love and already got my heart broken, boo hoo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are the handsome guys always taken, can’t just one be spared for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shop was filled with the groans of the girls, but Ye Chen didn’t care about all that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Xiaoxiao was unhappy, pouting, and saying, “Ye Chen, why do you attract so many girls?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, there’s really nothing I can do. I was born handsome, and honestly, it’s quite troubling,” Ye Chen said with a forcedly aggrieved expression.\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-03T08:13:09.113Z","2026-06-03T08:13:14.205Z",1,"novelbin.me","8e736bfac16f6dafa8366d0b6840783fd39d83efb3f15406169ac1fa078aed05","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1123","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-1121",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
