Forget it, let’s just go out to eat.” Tang Xiaofei shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Tang Xiaofei didn’t believe him, Ye Chen said: “Looks like you’ll only believe me if I show off my cooking skills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said that, Ye Chen tied on an apron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a potato from the table and tossed it into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish, swish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flicker of a knife, and the potato was sliced into evenly-sized pieces that fell into the plate in Ye Chen’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei, standing by, was almost dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this cooking? It’s practically magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ye Chen sliced the meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the flicker of a knife over the cutting board, in the blink of an eye, the meat was sliced thinly, as if done by a machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the reason Tang Xiaofei thought it impossible was because Ye Chen didn’t seem like someone who could cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who cook usually have rough hands, but Ye Chen was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen’s hands were very delicate, like someone who never set foot in a kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ye Chen picked up a fish and smiled: “Today I’ll make you my signature Squirrel Fish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this point, Tang Xiaofei was fully convinced of Ye Chen’s cooking skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, so skillful, with such knife skills, the dish is sure to be extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, Ye Chen had cleaned and prepared the fish efficiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei stood at the kitchen door watching, feeling that watching Ye Chen cook was a genuine pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the Squirrel Fish was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smelling the aromatic scent, Tang Xiaofei’s mouth started to water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen plated the Squirrel Fish and smiled, “Serve it up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei eagerly took the plate, walked to the doorway, and couldn’t help resisting the aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It smells so good, this fish must be delicious, should I sneak a taste?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Tang Xiaofei glanced back at the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was focused on cooking; if she took a bite, he surely wouldn’t notice, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei set the Squirrel Fish on the table and rubbed her hands together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was hot, Tang Xiaofei still picked up a piece and put it into her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sweet flavor combined with the fish’s aroma–a burst of flavor hit her taste buds directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s too delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei felt like the fragrance practically exploded in her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one bite, Tang Xiaofei couldn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t resist and grabbed another piece to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the second piece, the third piece…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, only the fish bones were left of the Squirrel Fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing it, Tang Xiaofei still hadn’t had enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ye Chen came over from behind, reminding Tang Xiaofei that Ye Chen was supposed to be the guest, yet she had eaten all of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei quickly turned around, hiding her greasy little hands behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen found her caught-red-handed embarrassed look amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, quickly clean your hands and grab some chopsticks; this time it’s Sweet and Sour Pork.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the fragrant Sweet and Sour Pork on the table, Tang Xiaofei quickly picked up some chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She grabbed a piece and put it in her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, the flavor bursts in my mouth, it’s simply amazing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei couldn’t help but say: “Ye Chen, your cooking level is really high—it’s even better than that of a Five Stars restaurant chef.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed, “If you like it, eat more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm.” Tang Xiaofei couldn’t stop her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a few bites, Tang Xiaofei suddenly put down her chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you’re the guest, you haven’t eaten yet; I can’t eat all the good stuff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen found Tang Xiaofei’s foodie demeanor amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei was naturally beautiful, and now with her mouth full of oil, she looked especially cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed: “Wait a moment, I’ll fry up a couple more dishes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn’t believe Tang Xiaofei’s promise at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen possessed Divine-level culinary skills, so his food was bound to be top-tier gourmet cuisine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by Tang Xiaofei’s foodie nature, how could she resist the temptation of delicious food?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Ye Chen turned back to the kitchen, Tang Xiaofei indeed picked up the chopsticks again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just one last bite.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the chopsticks in Tang Xiaofei’s hand reached for the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Tang Xiaofei’s belly was already rounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, I blame you! If I gain weight, I will have to hold you accountable.” Tang Xiaofei sat on the chair contentedly, patting her stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the table, several plates were completely empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, she had eaten the majority of the meal; Ye Chen hadn’t eaten much at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen gave Tang Xiaofei a look: “You want to blame me? I didn’t force you to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei said: “Ye Chen, if I become your girlfriend, I’ll probably turn into a fat girl in no time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed: “Actually, you’re a bit too thin. If you gain a little weight, you might look even prettier, more beautiful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei seemed to make some sort of decision: “Then Ye Chen, you have to often come to my house and cook for me, alright? Your food is too delicious. After eating what you make, everything else seems tasteless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed, “Alright, but it depends on how you perform.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei blushed: “Then how should I perform?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen teased: “What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei blushed deeply: “Close your eyes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen obediently closed his eyes, then felt his lips lightly brushed with a hint of moisture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes, Tang Xiaofei had already run into the kitchen with the plate, blushing with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen chuckled awkwardly: “This girl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Ye Chen heard a crashing sound coming from the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the kitchen, as expected, a plate had fallen and shattered on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Xiaofei looked at the pieces on the ground with a face full of grievance. She looked at Ye Chen and said: “Ye Chen, will you despise me for being a clumsy woman?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1285,"2026-06-03T08:12:36.329Z","2026-06-03T08:12:40.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","97e26500864cdbb9858a73adeb430e8937ebe33c3c79407d9768abe65a92f353","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-472","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-470",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
