I think this guy is just a boy toy being kept by someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, look how handsome he is, and he’s just a courier. It’s strange if he’s not a boy toy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging by his outfit from head to toe, it must all be bought by that girl. It’s so shameful to live off a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the people around pointing at Ye Chen, Duan Bin couldn’t help but feel pleased secretly, thinking how ridiculous it was to show off in such a place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Serves him right, living off a woman while flaunting it so openly,\" Yang Xin’er mocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen ignored the chatter around him, knowing these were just idle people who loved watching others’ troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanyi looked at the various gemstone jewelry on the counter, showing a joyful expression in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time Ye Chen had seen such a spark in Su Wanyi’s eyes. She truly liked these things from the bottom of her heart, otherwise, she wouldn’t have such an expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wanyi, which one do you like?\" Ye Chen asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, let’s also take a look,\" Yang Xin’er said coquettishly, holding onto Duan Bin’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, today is the day to buy you jewelry. Sweetheart, just tell me which one you like,\" Duan Bin said smugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he looked at Ye Chen, as if to say he could afford what Ye Chen couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanyi picked up a ring set with a green gemstone. The sales lady smiled and introduced it: \"Miss, you have a great eye. The main stone on this ring is emerald, surrounded by small diamonds. It looks very high-end and elegant. You should know that such gemstones are becoming rarer, so the price is very high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen glanced at the price, which was twenty million, but after carefully examining it, he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xin’er also noticed the ring in Ye Chen’s hand; seeing Ye Chen’s expression, she knew this man couldn’t afford it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had even fantasized that Ye Chen was her boyfriend just because he was handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once she heard about Ye Chen’s profession, her fondness for him vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, I like this ring, buy it for me,\" Yang Xin’er said playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Bin glanced at the price and frowned. After all, he had already won Yang Xin’er over, so spending another twenty million on her pained him a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Bin carefully observed the ring, nodded, and said, \"This emerald ring is quite nice. With my knowledge of gemstones, the color, clarity, and brightness are all at a high level, worth collecting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sweetheart, if I buy this for you, you’d better treat me well tonight,\" Duan Bin said with a mischievous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you’re so naughty,\" Yang Xin’er said bashfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Salesperson, I’ll take this ring,\" Duan Bin said as he took out his card from his bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, sir, I’ll pack it for you,\" the salesperson said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, you’re really lucky to have such a boyfriend,\" the salesperson said enviously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she cast an envious glance at Duan Bin, fantasizing about finding a wealthy boyfriend like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xin’er looked at Su Wanyi with a triumphant expression, as if to say, \"Look, my boyfriend can buy me such an expensive ring, and your boyfriend is just living off you, ridiculous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanyi felt a bit embarrassed too. After all, in front of Yang Xin’er, Ye Chen should have bought her the ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, from what Su Wanyi knew of Ye Chen, twenty million was nothing to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers erupted once again at seeing this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rich people are truly rich, you can’t fake it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re going to show off, you need the capabilities; without the skills, don’t take on challenges.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This world isn’t just about looks; especially for men, it’s about capabilities. Money is king.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m so envious of that girl; her boyfriend didn’t even blink an eye to buy her a twenty million ring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If only I had a boyfriend like that, I’d be so happy. I’d have whatever I want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not everyone is that lucky, you know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Su Wanyi with a pitying expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, this girl doesn’t lose out in looks or temperament compared to the other girl, so how did she end up with a courier boyfriend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity a beautiful flower stuck on cow dung!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I were the girl, I’d definitely ditch that guy and find someone better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t know, that girl must be keeping him because of his looks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanyi, hearing the chatter, turned a bit gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Ye Chen did clearly showed he didn’t want to save her face, especially in front of Yang Xin’er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wanyi, look at my boyfriend, he loves me so much, casually spending twenty million on me,\" Yang Xin’er flaunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wanyi didn’t know how to respond. Looking at her, Ye Chen asked, \"Wanyi, do you really like the emerald ring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I just like that ring,\" Su Wanyi pouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took Su Wanyi’s hand and walked towards the lower-end section, then pointed to a ring in the counter and said, \"Could you please show me this ring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salesperson took out the ring from the counter and handed it to Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, here you go,\" the salesperson said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen took the ring and showed it to Su Wanyi, saying, \"Wanyi, how about this ring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the price of the ring, Su Wanyi’s expression turned grim. This ring was only sixty thousand, with a small stone that didn’t catch her eye at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no comparison between this ring and the twenty million ring. Seeing Yang Xin’er’s smug look made Su Wanyi very upset; she even began to dislike Ye Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>",1098,"2026-06-03T08:12:58.592Z","2026-06-03T08:13:03.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","6a3b7eab145d48cad693532115b78eb72562fa31397bea85a75bcd207c41f8ef","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-959","starting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-chapter-957",1261,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-as-the-president-of-a-billionaire-group-cover.jpg"]
