My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 395: Can You Accept Having Three Wives and Four Concubines?
Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Can You Accept Having Three Wives and Four Concubines?
Upon hearing what He Mengxue said, more question marks appeared on Chen Yan’s face.
He involuntarily set down the pen he was holding and asked, "Zhao Ying, what... happened to her?"
Seeing Chen Yan take an interest, He Mengxue also stopped her motion to leave. She turned around and said to Chen Yan, "Recently, she seems to be acting weird."
"She does get to the company quite early every day. But she always locks herself in her office."
"Sometimes, there are sounds of things being smashed ’pitter-patter’ coming from her office."
"Even the sound of scratching glass."
As she said this, He Mengxue shivered and added, "Anyway, it’s a bit creepy."
Chen Yan’s eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.
Why has Brother Ying become so strange?
Could it be... because of the emotional uncertainty issue?
Is an emotion confirmation that difficult to endure?
Chen Yan recalled Yu Qiao Qiao and Lu Man and thought... it seemed quite simple.
When Yu Qiao Qiao initially encountered the option to confirm her feelings, it took only a few minutes to directly confirm it as [Love].
While Lu Man took some time to confirm her feelings because she’d discovered her desire to have a pair of wings.
But at that time... it was Chen Yan who stewed in discomfort, not Lu Man.
So, Chen Yan really had some trouble understanding Zhao Ying’s current ordeal.
He could only conclude: Brother Ying’s way of thinking is different, so her reactions aren’t quite the same as others.
However, precisely because of this, Chen Yan didn’t pay too much attention. He nodded and said, "Alright. I got it. Thanks."
After saying that, Chen Yan lowered his head but unexpectedly paused.
Because he had suddenly realized... He Mengxue was really pulling out all the stops to please him now.
Even going as far as to help him monitor other "ambiguous objects" of interest.
Chen Yan felt that even if he asked her to do a futile task now, she would agree without complaint and do it with extra vigor.
This kind of woman... really, if her way of thinking couldn’t be changed and he couldn’t bring her into his Crystal Palace, Chen Yan felt it would be such a waste.
Thus, thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn’t help but call out to He Mengxue again with a bit of luck, "Meng Xue."
He Mengxue, who had her hand on the doorknob, turned her head upon hearing Chen Yan’s call, "What’s up?"
Chen Yan coughed and then asked, "What do you think about... the concept of having multiple wives and concubines?"
Asking this shameless question was actually something Chen Yan had considered deeply.
He thought that after facing a big setback and now being so well-behaved, He Mengxue might have had a change in her inner thoughts.
If it was really like that... then there would be no conflict between her and him! freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
While Chen Yan was thinking this, He Mengxue looked at him, her expression bright with a smile, and said, "Multiple wives and concubines?"
She shook her head and responded, "In modern society, we should respect the laws of the country. Monogamy is the most suitable family composition for the modern era."
Hearing He Mengxue’s straightforward answer, Chen Yan sighed slightly, feeling like he was entertaining some foolish fantasies.
However, at that moment,
He Mengxue suddenly took a different tone and added, "But... I grew up with the most traditional education at home. So some of the excellent traditions that have been passed down, I feel, I can still accept."
Chen Yan froze for a moment upon hearing her words.
Then, a surprise rose in his heart.
Could it be... really becoming a possibility?!
Thinking this, Chen Yan quickly activated the [Inner Headphones] to verify He Mengxue’s true thoughts.
Then... he heard her inner voice saying,
"Multiple wives and concubines? In this lifetime, it’s impossible to have multiple wives and concubines!"
"Chen Yan is so capable and speaks so nicely. I don’t want to share him with others."
After hearing He Mengxue’s "proclamation," Chen Yan sighed again, his enthusiasm dampening somewhat.
He waved his hand and said, "Alright. I understand."
After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to work on reviewing documents.
Meanwhile, He Mengxue standing by the door, slowly had a question mark appear above her head: ?
What’s the matter?
Why does it seem like Chen Yan is not satisfied with my answer?
I clearly hinted that I could accept multiple wives and concubines.
Why isn’t he happy?
Was there something wrong with my answer?
Could it be that he doesn’t like the idea of multiple wives and concubines?
He Mengxue, unable to figure it out, left Chen Yan’s office with her head full of fog.
After He Mengxue left, Chen Yan set down the pen he was holding and, after hesitating for a while, picked up his phone to call Yu Qiao Qiao.
Over the phone, Chen Yan inquired about Zhao Ying.
Yu Qiao Qiao had clearly been aware of Zhao Ying’s unusual behavior for quite some time.
So as soon as Chen Yan broached the subject, she quickly relayed everything she had observed in great detail.
In general, Zhao Ying had been a bit absent-minded these days, and given her extraordinary constitution, she kept causing a bunch of comical mishaps that left people torn between laughter and tears.
For instance, crushing a cup just by holding it too tightly, or breaking a chair by simply sitting down on it.
Or by pulling off a door simply by tugging on it too hard, and so on.
But, if no other incidents occurred,
This made Chen Yan much relieved.
He felt there was still time for him to ponder over it.
There were still two weeks left until the end of the month; no need to rush. He could take more time to think about how to handle Zhao Ying’s issue!
Time passed swiftly, and three to four days went by.
On Friday, during prime time, "Big Star Detective" premiered on Qindong TV.
Since Lu Man was part of the show and could earn double cashback, Chen Yan invested tens of millions and aggressively promoted the show through various channels.
Thus, the variety show was hot even before it was broadcast. All viewers who were fans of mystery, detective themes, or even humor eagerly awaited in front of their TVs early on the day of the premiere.
Apart from the audience, the entire entertainment industry paid significant attention to the variety show.
Because this was the first project of Chen Yan’s "Sunrise Plan" to go live.
It had benchmark significance.
If the show flopped, then the "Sunrise Plan" would be a joke.
If the show had lukewarm success, people would feel that the "Sunrise Plan" might indeed be viable, but its future success would hinge on luck.
But... if the show became an instant hit.
Then, no one could imagine the development prospects of the "Sunrise Plan."
Perhaps... The "Sunrise Plan," together with Chenlu Film Company, would indeed become a colossus in the industry!
On Friday, at 8 p.m., "Big Star Detective" premiered to widespread anticipation.
The show began with an introduction to the rules.
Then the two regular MCs made their entrance. These two were carefully selected by Yang Rou and secured with a hefty fee. Both were well-known speakers in the industry.
One was gentle and scholarly, and the other was funny and a buffoon.
However, both were highly educated with a wealth of life and legal experience.
As soon as they appeared, they set the tone for the entire show.
Following that, the guests for the episode made their entrance one by one.
Last but not least, Lu Man made her entry.
As a semi-regular guest of the show and also the boss of the project, as soon as she appeared, she was playfully flattered by the other guests.
Some said that as the boss, she should raise everyone’s salaries.
Others asked if they could stay on the show for more episodes.
One inquired when the show’s payments would be settled.
And one joker asked Lu Man if she definitely had arranged to be the murderer in the first episode.
These were all jokes that teased while subtly highlighting Lu Man’s status.
Lu Man, possessing a strong businesswoman persona, responded with a variety sense; humorous yet dominant, "Stop asking for a raise. The company’s so poor we can barely keep the pot boiling, didn’t you see I even have to join the show myself?"
The room erupted into laughter.
After the jokes, the case unfolded, and the guests became variously "panicked," "curious," or "playful" as they came over to observe the deceased, then began their investigations.
The entire episode was conducted in a mix of suspense and humor.
And before the episode was even over, many from the film and television industry were speechless.
As professionals, they could tell the quality of a show.
So just halfway through this episode, they could see the potential of the show.
It was definitely a blockbuster variety show.
It even had the potential to compete for a top-five spot among the year’s variety shows.
Whether it was the cast, the segments, or the overall atmosphere, each aspect was top-notch.
If it wasn’t for the novelty of the show and uncertainty about market reception, they would be even more certain about the show’s prospects.
This sent shivers down their spines.
This was only one of the first ten projects of the "Sunrise Plan."
It already had such quality.
If the other nine projects were of the same caliber,
How would anyone else compete?
Would they all be blockbusters?
And as expected, to no one’s surprise,
By the time the first episode ended, the entire internet exploded into discussion.
