Let’s go eat together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tian nodded obediently, touched her belly and said, “I happen to be feeling hungry now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two people went to a restaurant near Xingmei International and ordered a few dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ye Chen, why did you think of inviting me to eat?” Liu Tian asked with a puzzled expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt that Ye Chen always intentionally kept a distance from her, but why today did he come to the company and find her proactively?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She guessed in her heart that he definitely had something to ask her for help with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as expected, Ye Chen scratched his head and said awkwardly, “I’m attending a party tonight and need a female companion, but Wanyi is out of town, so I thought of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ye Chen realized his words might be inappropriate, and hurriedly said, “You won’t mind, right? If you don’t want to, it’s okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Ye Chen was charming and very popular with women, it would indeed make a girl feel like she’s just a backup plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I mind. What do you take me for?” Liu Tian pretended to be angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, sorry about that, just pretend I didn’t say anything. I’ll take you back after we finish eating,” Ye Chen said apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He anticipated Liu Tian’s response; after all, no girl would willingly be a backup plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the man’s expression in front of her, Liu Tian couldn’t help but laugh aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she said with a smile, “I was teasing you. You actually took it seriously, you’re so cute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reaction from the girl surprised Ye Chen; he looked at Liu Tian with a face full of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not, I was very happy you thought of me. Thank you for being so honest,” Liu Tian said with a smile, “A handsome and wealthy man like you, surrounded by charming aura, must have many women by your side, and I know that Wanyi is probably your true love, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, she always knew Ye Chen had a girlfriend; there was no way an outstanding and attractive man like him could be without a woman by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen thought about bringing her to the party, it was evident that he had thoughts about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this alone made Liu Tian very happy, so why wouldn’t she be willing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, I’ll come pick you up in the evening.” Ye Chen didn’t answer, but looked at the girl and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t answer the girl’s question for fear of hurting her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should I go back and change clothes? After all, I am accompanying you to the party.” Liu Tian asked looking at what’s in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She attached great importance to the party, as it was the first time she was attending a party with Ye Chen, and Ye Chen had invited her himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, the outfit you have on is very nice.” Ye Chen looked her up and down, said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Liu Tian nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Tian wore her hair down, dressed in a sapphire blue short-sleeved dress, and a pair of black lace high heels, making her look very graceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up and eat, or it’ll get cold.” Ye Chen pointed to the food on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two people ate until they finished and walked out of the restaurant side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Ye Chen said he would drop Liu Tian off, but she said she ate too much and wanted to walk back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ye Chen left, he went to the courier point, picked up a few packages, and continued his courier delivery routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drove the Lykan to Wanda Mansion and frowned as he saw the recipient was Chen Qingqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the beautiful girl who has a poor sense of direction, the one who likes him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen thought to himself that being handsome is sometimes a sin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a bit nervous; if Chen Qingqing saw him, it would be like walking into the lion’s den.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, just deliver the package and leave quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen parked the car aside, took the packages in his hand, and walked to the building where Chen Qingqing lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Downstairs was a man wearing glasses, looking refined, shouting towards the upstairs, “Qingqing, I love you, marry me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was clearly a confession scene, the ground was arranged with red roses in the shape of a heart and in the middle were champagne roses spelling out Chen Qingqing’s name. The surrounding girls looked on with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is so romantic, I wish I had a boyfriend like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There must be at least a thousand roses, this is truly luxurious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can see the man put a lot of thought into it, the girl is really lucky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the comments from the surrounding girls, the man also had a proud look on his face; he was indeed wealthy, who could surpass him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man continued to shout, “Qingqing, my love for you is unwavering, like 999 red roses, representing eternity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice echoed throughout the neighborhood, attracting the residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though everyone living here is wealthy, such a heartfelt proposal is still quite rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days ago, the refined man saw Chen Qingqing chatting with her friends in a restaurant, and the girl’s every move captivated him deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome man offered Chen Qingqing both flowers and gifts at the restaurant, but she didn’t even spare him a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went back home with nothing but Chen Qingqing’s image in his mind, unable to forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the refined man decided to act on it, planning a romantic proposal as girls love romance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He racked his brain, searched the internet for proposal ideas, spent a whole morning setting up at Wanda Mansion, resulting in the romantic proposal scene everyone sees now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the women around him would come over just by him beckoning a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refined man believed that with such a heartfelt proposal, no girl could resist; Chen Qingqing couldn’t escape his grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qingqing’s looks and figure far surpassed those he previously dated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that Chen Qingqing was about to become his woman, to be played with as he pleased, the refined man couldn’t suppress his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed minute by minute, although the refined man confessed, there was no response from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought to himself: “I’ve meticulously arranged such a romantic proposal scene, how could Chen Qingqing not respond? It’s not logical.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, even the refined man was deeply moved by his own attentiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With previous women, money was the easy solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Chen Qingqing, the refined man truly put a lot of effort, pursuing this unique girl cost him a lot of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why hasn’t that girl named Qingqing come downstairs yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it were me, I would have run downstairs to embrace this man long ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, why am I not lucky enough to meet such a guy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So envious of that girl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The refined man didn’t feel embarrassed hearing the discussions around him, still wearing a smile, readying his trump card, which no girl could withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>",1218,"2026-06-03T08:12:57.084Z","2026-06-03T08:13:00.904Z",1,"novelbin.me","63ccc9e20673565ff810cdd77e6a94970aaa61f3f652f09e90efc1408aea3544","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-897","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-895",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
