The assistant to the CEO by his side felt startled.

Just a moment ago, Little Ye, who was usually serious and restrained, stared at the screen of his phone for a while, and... and he actually smiled?

Although not very obvious, the diligent assistant has been observing Ye Chen's every move since he left the meeting room. How could he not have noticed?

"Chengming," Ye Chen seemed to have typed a few words on his phone. "What's my schedule for this afternoon to evening?"

The assistant heard their name and hastily opened the laptop in their hands, flipping through the itinerary.

"Ah, I found out that President Xiaoye, you have a financial institution's symposium starting at four-thirty in the afternoon that you need to attend. And around eight o'clock in the evening, you have a meeting with the Yan Group from the Bianjiang region..."

Pushed.

The assistant named Chengming was taken aback and said, "Huh?"

At this moment, the elevator arrived at their floor. Ye Chen stepped into the elevator and said, "Attending the financial lecture is not absolutely necessary. You wait here and say hello to them first. Tonight..." Ye Chen paused, and his assistant behind him pressed the close button, seemingly waiting for a response.

"Shelved it."

"Okay, okay."

Chengming held a notebook in one hand and swiftly made annotations in the form.

Ye Chen didn't actually know what happened. When he saw that text message, in his mind there was a vague image of Tian Xinyuan, along with her sorrowful little face.

These two itineraries may seem unimportant, but he knew in his heart that they were the plans he unconsciously declined after thinking about that child.

I just wanted to go home and see him earlier.

There is no reason.

Ye Chen squinted his eyes for a moment. Perhaps it was because he was deeply impressed by Tian Xinyuan's mournful face last night, or perhaps he thought about how Aunt Chen was busy helping at the main residence of the Ye family today, leaving only the child alone at home. Would the other party feel lonely?

Yechen helplessly chuckled at the sudden thought that popped into his mind for no reason.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Alpha promptly left the office building. The driver was already waiting in a car parked outside the building.

When Ye Chen got on the car, he gave Tian Xinyuan a phone call.

The call was quickly answered on the other end, and after a few seconds of pause, a straightforward voice called out, "Brother Yechen."

"Yeah, I just got back from the office. Aunt Chen didn't come today. I'll take you out for dinner later."

Tian Xinyuan was taken aback when he received the phone call. At this moment, he was playing a mobile game with his childhood friend through voice chat. Both of their defense towers were almost depleted, and it was the crucial final team fight. Who would have thought that the incoming call display would suddenly pop up on the screen? Without any warning, he inadvertently pressed the green answer button.

"Ah... mmm..."

Ye Chen didn't expect that the other party wasn't in a good mood, assuming that Tian Xinyuan was still immersed in yesterday's emotions.

"You can take some time to think about what to eat later. I will arrive at your doorstep in about half an hour, so get ready to come down when I arrive."

"Um... alright."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Xinyuan's social media was already flooded with messages from his childhood friend, Ji Chuanyu.

People from Sichuan and Chongqing love eating Sichuan cuisine. "Hey, bro, what's going on with you? Halfway through the team fight and you're not moving??"

Xin Yuan wasn't being softhearted; she said, "I'll go answer the phone ahead."

ChuanYu loves Sichuan cuisine: "Tian Ke?"

Xin Yuan was not one to be easily swayed by emotions. "No. Also, he is my older brother. You shouldn't address him by his full name."

Ji Chuanyu made a funny expression and didn't dwell on the fact that Tian Ke was his elder brother. Then he asked if the phone call was from his potential marriage partner from a few days ago.

Tian Xinyuan hesitated, his finger hovering over the send button without pressing it.

He anxiously glanced at the screen in front of him, but there was still no news from the person on the other side who was typing. Unable to resist, he asked, "Aren't you in an arranged marriage? So, what do you think of him? I have read several issues of the financial magazine, and they all featured interviews and reports about him. How is he? Is he really handsome in person?"

Ji Chuanyu has a much livelier temperament than Tian Xinyuan, and his mouth is as loose as can be. They grew up together from kindergarten, yakking away without a care. However, now they are both in their senior year of high school. One took a year off due to illness, while the other had to repeat a year because of poor grades.

To some extent, they could also be considered as brothers in adversity.

Tian Xinyuan did not want to continue arguing with him, so he quickly came up with an excuse and logged off. There was a sense of evasion in his actions.
