My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 442 My Dream is to Marry You (6000 words)

However, even though he had roughly made up his mind to choose He Mengxue as the fourth Virtual Girlfriend, who was also the second girl he would pick himself,

Chen Yan hadn’t yet decided to use this opportunity on He Mengxue right away.

For he still needed to verify one thing: that was He Mengxue’s intent.

But this intent wasn’t about He Mengxue’s feelings for him.

In that regard, anyone who wasn’t blind could see how she felt.

What Chen Yan wanted to confirm was whether He Mengxue really harbored any thoughts of becoming an entrepreneur or if she actually wanted to run a venture capital firm.

Chen Yan hadn’t forgotten how he had previously forced Zhao Ying into Chen’s Investment, not only giving her 30% of the shares but also the position of vice president.

The result was that the girl had no interest in the field and didn’t even start a Professional Line.

If He Mengxue wanted to be involved in the venture capital firm just for his sake, then Chen Yan’s whole plan would go down the drain!

Just now, Chen Yan had been thinking of verifying He Mengxue’s feelings.

This was also why he had told He Mengxue not to be in such a hurry several times because he wanted to have a talk with her.

But at that time, her heart had been entirely with her father and Chen Yan couldn’t hear any information of value using the "Inner Heart Headphones," so he had no choice but to let her go.

Chen Yan decided that in the evening, he would arrange a candlelit dinner, and then have a good chat with He Mengxue.

After confirming her intention, he would then use the fourth Virtual Girlfriend slot.

Thinking thus, Chen Yan made a call to Twin Towers Hotel, asking them to arrange a private room and prepare a set of candlelit dinner...

Meanwhile, as Chen Yan was arranging the evening’s activities,

He Mengxue’s conversation with her father was also coming to an end.

He Ruifeng, changing from his image of a kind father, severely scolded He Mengxue.

Furthermore, using the issue regarding Chen Group as an example, he explained to He Mengxue in detail all the aspects to consider, the impacts to be aware of, and the actions to consider.

Even going so far as to explain which actions were legal, which were borderline, and which were illegal and should not be done, all in clear terms.

And by the end of it, He Mengxue was somewhat dizzy from listening.

He Ruifeng also got a little thirsty, so he poured himself a glass of water.

After pouring the water, He Ruifeng, while sipping it, asked, "Did you understand all that?"

He Mengxue first nodded her head, then hesitated a bit, and shook her head again.

Then she asked in a soft voice, "Dad... just tell me the conclusion. Does Chen Yan really have any trouble?"

He Ruifeng almost choked on his water.

He was so mad he almost threw the cup at his unworthy daughter!

"I am teaching you how to deal with emergencies!"

"I’m teaching you how to manage a business!"

"And you, after listening for so long, only care about Chen Yan?!"

Seeing her father truly getting angry, He Mengxue shrunk her neck, then said with a wronged expression, "I took it all in."

"I understand it all."

"But, the company will always have you."

"These things can be learned slowly."

"But now, I am just... worried about Chen Yan."

He Ruifeng: .......

Looking at his daughter acting like a little wife, He Ruifeng was almost too angry to breathe.

Nevertheless, in the end, he let out a deep sigh.

Then he set his glass on the table and said flatly, "Chen Yan will be fine. No matter how complete the evidence chain of Zhao Group is, it will stop at me."

"In fact, aside from Chen Yan predicting this, Zhao Xuan had also considered it." freewebnσvel.cøm

"Therefore, we actually have another agreement that will allow me to conveniently split and transfer the money."

"As long as I make up the money, the fund will belong to the He family."

"Without the controlling share of the Dream Fund, Zhao Group won’t even have the right to sue Chen Yan. So there won’t be any problems on his side."

Hearing her father’s words, He Mengxue let out a sigh of relief.

However, she immediately realized that the problem wasn’t solved; it was simply passing the buck and the responsibility back to her family.

So, she couldn’t help but ask, "Then, Dad, will our family be okay?"

"Can we handle the trouble with the Zhao family?"

"The court won’t side with the Zhao family, will they?"

"I heard they have a very strong network."

Hearing his daughter’s questions, He Ruifeng gave her a glance, "It’s time you started to care about your own family and think about your father!"

After glaring at her, he still went on to explain to her.

"Our evidence is complete. So most likely there’s no problem."

"Moreover, the court in question is on Qin Island."

The He family is the largest taxpayer on Qin Island and already has local protection. With such concrete evidence, there won’t be any issues."

Saying this, He Ruifeng, as the wealthiest man on the Qindong Peninsula, displayed his authority.

Being an old-timer who had been dominating the markets for many years, he might not be able to compete out there anymore, but back on his own turf, he was still capable of taking on any Sojourner or mountain king!

Seeing her father still so strong, He Mengxue felt at ease.

Each person has their way of handling situations.

The most typical style of He Ruifeng is: steady.

He never acted rashly.

He would only be willing to act on something if he was 99% sure.

Although this may have caused him to miss many opportunities, it has also allowed the He family to develop steadily and securely.

If one were to say his father was the creator of the He family, then he was the guardian of their domain.

Even... when other families and consortia liked to use their "surname" as the company name, for the sake of caution, on his suggestion, his father chose not to use "He Group" as the company name.

Instead, they used "Wutong Group."

Because in his view, doing business in our country requires a low profile.

Those who are high-profile die quickly...

Hence, knowing her father was not in trouble, He Mengxue’s heart drifted back to Chen Yan. Her conversation with her father began to become absent-minded.

Seeing He Mengxue’s distracted look, He Ruifeng sighed internally: Really, girls tend to look outward.

He would never have imagined that in all his years of commanding authority, he would raise such a "love-brained" daughter.

And thinking again about his future son-in-law... ugh, thinking again about Chen Yan.

The thought of all the women around Chen Yan gave He Ruifeng a headache.

If it were some incapable son-in-law, it might be fine.

With the support of her natal family, this son-in-law wouldn’t dare to flirt outside.

But with someone like Chen Yan... What to do...

With this in mind, He Ruifeng glanced at his daughter again.

He Mengxue had already started fidgeting with her right hand, touching her watch.

Knowing his daughter’s temperament, He Ruifeng realized that this was her anxious tic when she couldn’t sit still and wanted to leave.

Who she would visit after leaving was obvious.

He Ruifeng couldn’t help but feel melancholic: It’s all fate... it’s all karma...

He should have broken Qin Ming’s leg back then.

If it weren’t for him, his daughter wouldn’t have fallen for Chen Yan...

It wasn’t that He Ruifeng blamed Qin Ming.

After all, among the four people involved in this matter, he couldn’t hit himself, his daughter, or his future son-in-law.

Only Qin Ming, his nephew, could take some scolding...

In the end, seeing He Mengxue could no longer sit still, He Ruifeng didn’t keep her any longer. With a lack of enthusiasm, he waved his hand, letting He Mengxue go.

However, once He Mengxue had left, He Ruifeng silently made a decision.

Since his daughter was unwilling to compete, he, as her father, still had to at least pave the way for her; he couldn’t let Chen Yan, in the future, truly wrong his daughter!

Back at the company, He Mengxue, as He Ruifeng expected, went happily to report to Chen Yan.

And she completely sold out her father.

Not only did she reveal He Ruifeng’s analysis on Zhao Qingtian, but she also shared her father’s countermeasures and thoughts.

After comparing both sides, Chen Yan felt more secure and also gained quite a lot.

After chatting, Chen Yan took the initiative to mention to He Mengxue about having dinner together in the evening.

Hearing Chen Yan taking the initiative to invite her, He Mengxue was overjoyed and promptly agreed.

Seeing her so happy, a smile played at the corner of Chen Yan’s eyes.

He was now looking forward to seeing how much goodwill He Mengxue would have after becoming the fourth Virtual Girlfriend.

Could it instantly hit 100 points and confirm the relationship?

Chen Yan was curious.

A day passed quickly.

In the evening, Chen Yan called He Mengxue to join him at Twin Towers Hotel.

But after making the call, Chen Yan found out that He Mengxue had actually rushed home to change her clothes before leaving work.

Chen Yan had an exasperated face.

This damn sense of ceremony women had.

So...

He also went to the presidential suite of Twin Towers Hotel, took a shower, and changed clothes.

Being close by, he went downstairs and into the prepared private room before He Mengxue had arrived.

Since the menu was devised by the chef and nutritionist, Chen Yan didn’t bother to look at it but instead started reading news on his mobile.

This period had seen significant changes, both in the entertainment industry and the capital market.

In the entertainment industry, with the strong intervention of the Xu brothers, the entire market rose sharply.

Celebrity salaries, along with directors and screenwriters, especially celebrities, doubled.

Capital influx kept pumping up the industry’s size and capacity.

However, Chen Yan didn’t favor this development model.

Because it was clearly abnormal.

Regardless of how much money he spent, he could get cash back. Could these capitals cash back?

Clearly not.

So when prices increased and profits dropped, would capital continue to invest?

Most likely they would pull out, right?

Then what would be left for the industry was a complete mess...

Looking at the Xu brothers’ plans, Chen Yan noticed that one or two of their projects had already entered the middle phase and would be released in a couple of months.

Chen Yan thought about the remaining projects in his "Sunrise Plan."

It seemed that one had been completed recently and two or three were entering the middle phase.

He wondered if they might clash upon release.

Chen Yan was genuinely curious about the quality of the Xu brothers’ projects.

Recently, Song Chuang had sent news that some friends might be able to get their hands on the project outlines for these films, but it would take time.

Chen Yan felt that in a few days, he might be able to assess the potential of these projects.

Aside from the entertainment industry, the capital market was equally turbulent.

Due to Headline Technology breaking into the short video track,

It clearly touched the nerves of the lead player in the short video track: Slow Hand.

Recently, Slow Hand had been wildly throwing money domestically, scrambling for market share.

Headline Technology, facing such a sniping, directly countered, but the exchanges between the two sides were just tit-for-tat, so the capital market started to lower its expectations for the future of Headline Technology.

What mattered was the outcome of the continued clash.

After watching the news, Chen Yan waited a while longer, but He Mengxue still hadn’t arrived.

Bored, he took a sip of water and then opened WeChat, looking for someone to chat with.

And there, the first friend that caught his eye was the last person Chen Yan wanted to deal with during this time: Lu Manqing.

Maybe because of Chen Yan’s procrastination, Lu Manqing had also gradually become aware of what Chen Yan meant...

And she understood that Chen Yan had ultimately decided to stand her up.

Although she didn’t blame Chen Yan, he could still tell from the barely concealed disappointment in her demeanor when they met and chatted that she actually minded a lot about this matter.

And after eavesdropping on Lu Manqing’s inner thoughts with "Inner Headphones" once, Chen Yan also realized this girl’s desires.

This matter might not be important to her.

But what was important was the attitude Chen Yan expressed regarding this matter.

She had never thought about having Chen Yan openly and rightfully before.

It was Chen Yan who said he would give her a satisfying answer.

It was also Chen Yan who told her they would always be together.

Thus, with a growing hope in her heart, for the first time she wanted the same treatment as Yu Qiao Qiao. It was also the first time she stepped into the territory "owned" by Yu Qiao Qiao.

But then...

She was disappointed.

Because Chen Yan had not done as he said, he neither gave Lu Manqing the same treatment nor dared to tell Yu Qiao Qiao about their affair.

And upon knowing Lu Manqing’s thoughts, Chen Yan truly felt like he was in over his head.

He thought this matter was really fucked up.

He hadn’t expected Yu Qiao Qiao to find out when he first agreed.

And after Yu Qiao Qiao found out, he didn’t expect Lu Manqing to take it so seriously.

Now, he was caught between two women.

Therefore, lacking a resolution, Chen Yan could only choose to temporarily play the ostrich and slowly figure out a way to solve this...

Life caught in the cracks between several women was not comfortable.

But Chen Yan believed that as long as he could weather the storm, he would surely see a clear sky.

After all, he was just as greedy as any other man...

And just as Chen Yan was lost in thought over his entanglements with several women, there came a "knock knock knock" at the door: tonight’s heroine He Mengxue had arrived.

Chen Yan gathered his thoughts, turned off his phone screen, and looked towards the door.

As the door opened, He Mengxue walked in, dressed in a red slip dress and covered by a lambswool coat.

From the first time he saw her, Chen Yan realized she looked beautiful in red.

Like Snow White stepping out of a fairytale with her skin white as snow, donning red, and along with the elegance bred in the He family from childhood, she was simply stunning.

Seeing her was like bearing witness to a fiery dance amidst snow-clad mountains.

It was instinctively arousing.

Plus, the faint scent of jasmine tea that Chen Yan liked so much on her.

Chen Yan’s gaze became even more tender and affectionate.

After walking in, He Mengxue, seeing Chen Yan dressed for the occasion, couldn’t help but smile with her eyes.

Taking the red wine handed over by the butler behind her, she said, "You invited me for dinner. I’ll treat you to a drink~"

Chen Yan chuckled, teasing, "Are you implying our hotel’s wine isn’t good enough?"

He Mengxue gave Chen Yan a coquettish glance, "You saw right through me, no prize though."

Chen Yan looked at her and couldn’t help but laugh.

Setting the wine on the table, He Mengxue didn’t sit opposite Chen Yan; instead, she sat down next to him.

Chen Yan hesitated but said nothing.

Seeing that all the dinner attendees had arrived, the waiter began to prepare the dishes.

And when there were just the two of them in the room, Chen Yan took the initiative to speak up, stating the purpose of inviting He Mengxue tonight.

He said, "Mengxue. Do you have a dream?"

He Mengxue looked at Chen Yan, her eyes shimmering, "Does marrying you count?"

Chen Yan was almost immune to He Mengxue’s sudden declarations of affection now.

He shook his head with a smile, "Pick another."

He Mengxue pretended to ponder for a while, then said, "Then, after a hundred years, can I be buried in your Chen family’s ancestral grave?"

"Cough, cough." Chen Yan nearly choked on his water.

He glared at He Mengxue, "I’m talking about serious stuff here."

Seeing Chen Yan get serious, He Mengxue couldn’t help but laugh lightly.

Apparently, teasing Chen Yan was the happiest thing for her.

She rested her hands on the table, tilted her head looking at Chen Yan, then said, "Dreams... let me think."

"If I leave you out of it."

"Perhaps making our enterprise big and strong is my dream."

"After all, this might be my only chance of entrepreneurship in my lifetime."

"If I don’t succeed this time, I’ll never be able to prove myself again."

Hearing He Meng’s words, Chen Yan nodded in satisfaction.

He thought that if He Mengxue had this determination, then investing in the company could indeed open up her Professional Line.

However, Chen Yan didn’t make a decision lightly.

He continued to ask, "So, how do you feel about our new company? Do you want to develop it well?"

Upon hearing Chen Yan’s words, He Mengxue pouted in feigned complaint.

She looked at Chen Yan, her long eyelashes fluttering, speaking in her magnetic and sexy voice, "Chen Yan~~ the night is long. You invited me for a candlelit dinner..."

"Didn’t you have anything else in mind?"

"Just... talk about work?"

Her speech trailed off softly, like a cat’s claws gently scratching someone’s heart, making Chen Yan itchy inside.

Combined with her seductive actions.

Chen Yan "cursed" in his mind: Another little fairy!

Master, it’s not that I’m not steadfast. It’s just that the fairy sister is too tempting!

And just as Chen Yan was "complaining," suddenly his phone rang with a "ding-a-ling."

The sound broke the intimate atmosphere between them.

Chen Yan coughed and picked up the phone to see; it turned out to be another little fairy, Lu Manqing, calling.

Seeing it was Lu Manqing, Chen Yan glanced at He Mengxue and said, "I’m going to take a call outside."

He Mengxue blinked, "Oh..."

Though she seemed a bit unhappy to be disturbed,...

Chen Yan owed Lu Manqing quite a lot recently.

So, Chen Yan stood up and went outside to answer Lu Manqing’s call.

As the call connected, Lu Manqing’s whiny voice came through, "Why did it take so long to answer my call~~"

"Have you gone to play with another little fairy?"

Chen Yan was sweating buckets, "No. I’m at work."

Hearing Chen Yan’s response, Lu Manqing hummed lightly, and said, "Okay then. I’ll trust you~"

"After all..."

Pausing, she happily said, "Since you prepared such a huge surprise for me!"

"Chen Yan! You’re really the best!"

Hearing Lu Manqing’s words, a question mark slowly appeared above Chen Yan’s head.

Surprise?

What surprise....
