My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 420: I am a Gentleman!

As he let He Mengxue go, Chen Yan had already bowed his head to start dealing with the affairs of several companies.

All of a sudden, upon hearing He Mengxue say that, he was startled for a moment and looked up curiously, asking, "Why?"

He Mengxue gazed at Chen Yan with something reminiscent in her eyes, "Because, you look a lot like someone I know."

Chen Yan was surprised for a moment.

In this world, there was someone else as handsome, elegant, and charming as him?

He couldn’t help asking, "Who?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s question, the reminiscence in He Mengxue’s eyes disappeared immediately, replaced by a hint of mischief.

She seductively threw a flirtatious look at Chen Yan and said, "Like my future husband."

"I dream about him every night~"

Chen Yan: ....

Ah. That lethal flirtation of hers. Always catches me off guard.

Chen Yan truly wanted to crack open this woman’s skull to see how her brain wires were connected to come up with such greasy, cheesy lines!

However, it must be said, though cheesy lines may be corny, they aren’t at all unlikeable.

So much so that Chen Yan himself didn’t even notice that while he was internally ranting, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up into a faint smile.

Meanwhile, He Mengxue, after having flirted with Chen Yan, left nonchalantly, exiting the office in one fluid motion.

She left so swiftly, as if afraid that staying one more second would get her kicked out by Chen Yan.

Looking at the closed office door, Chen Yan shook his head helplessly.

He wasn’t sure if gradually accepting He Mengxue was a good or bad thing...

Hopefully, all that he had done was not a mistake.

In the following days, Chen Yan was immersed in busy work.

During this period, the companies experienced significant development.

The gaming company started on its third game.

Inspired by the mode of "Mudman Ultimate Elimination," they combined it with famous FPS games like CS to create a multiplayer shooter game.

Currently, there were hardly any such games on the market, which led to considerable disagreement within the gaming company about this project.

Some planners were optimistic, seeing it as a reskin of a successful formula.

The most popular aspect of "Mudman Ultimate Elimination" recently was its multiplayer challenges, and it was also the most hotly discussed mode.

Replicating this mode into a more mainstream game type was bound to be successful.

Other planners felt that although the "Mudman" mode was often discussed, its success was actually due to the anime element and a relaxed gaming atmosphere.

Since multiplayer competition itself was already very intense, further amplifying this aspect could overload players with stress, detracting from the fun of the game.

After carefully listening to both arguments, Chen Yan didn’t say much but rather divided the efforts in two, establishing two small studios internally to develop their game plans before presenting them to him.

The FPS team was the first to showcase its project plan.

After testing it with "Instant Film," Chen Yan was taken aback by the game’s potential and immediately approved the project’s initiation with a stroke of his pen.

Thus, preparations began around this third game.

As for the other team, Chen Yan didn’t dissolve their efforts or pressure them, allowing them to continue with their game planning.

Especially since they were creating an anime game, Chen Yan even allocated an artist to help them with sketching and other tasks.

Apart from the gaming company, the charity foundation also got on the right track in these few days.

With Chen Yan’s networking, the Charity Association of Qindong Province took a deep dive into the activities of Chen’s Charity Foundation and didn’t assign any new projects to it.

Instead, they extended a number of educational programs and offered substantial support to related peripheral projects.

For example, the Clean Doll Growth Plan: Providing sanitation supplies to children in underdeveloped areas and Hope Schools, sending volunteers to teach children good daily living and hygiene habits, starting with washing hands and faces to reduce diseases and epidemics.

For example, the Poverty-Relief Medical Aid for Children: Regular medical check-ups for impoverished children in the mountains and rescue operations for those with illnesses to prevent lifelong health issues.

For example...

And so on...

In short, these were all to combine with the current Hope School projects of Chen’s Charity Foundation, to help even more children in impoverished mountain areas.

Yao Hong was aware of these projects, but due to a lack of manpower, they were impossible to undertake.

But the Charity Association directly delegated relevant staff, integrated them into the foundation, and put Yao Hong in charge.

Hence, these projects centered on children from poor mountainous regions commenced.

The three billion that Chen Yan invested was being rapidly consumed.

Yet, seeing those photos streaming in from the mountains, the brand-new schools, and the children with particularly bright smiles, Chen Yan felt profoundly contented for some reason.

Besides these two companies, the fastest-growing was the film production company.

With the gold-swallowing behemoth "Sunrise Plan," the film company was operating at an overloaded pace.

Moreover, due to the plan’s success, it attracted quite a few talented individuals from the industry.

"Soul Suppressing" was finally completed after working overtime.

Thus, Lu Man, who had finally landed from her "Flying Expert" adventures, returned to the company and attended the internal screening.

Chen Yan didn’t attend the internal screening, but he heard high praises from Lu Man that evening.

When chatting, Chen Yan had just entered the villa.

Lu Man was nestled on the sofa, on the phone with Jiang Nanxing, "Nanxing! Guess what! I’m about to be famous again!"

"The internet movie I just filmed is super good!"

"And, even though it was rushed, because we had a high production budget, it turned out really well-crafted. I think it’s very likely to be a big hit!"

"What? You don’t believe it?"

"Let’s make a bet then! If I win, you come and sleep over for two days!"

"If I lose?"

"How could I lose??"

"If I lose, I’ll have Chen Yan come sleep over with you for two days!"

Chen Yan, who was sneakily eavesdropping on the girlfriends’ chat, was completely taken aback when the gossip turned to him.

If I lose, I have to sleep over?

I, sir, am a gentleman.

Therefore, I am the most trustworthy.

Lu Man, you better not welsh on it!

Grumbling in his mind, Chen Yan placed the pork rib rice he had bought for Lu Man on the table.

Lu Man particularly loved the pork rib rice from the shop downstairs in the Jinmao Building, and when she used to have more free time, she would always ask Chen Yan to bring her a portion when he visited.

This time, Chen Yan happened to buy a portion for Lu Man on his way over.

After setting down the pork rib rice, Chen Yan went to wash his hands, then came over and sat down on the sofa, waiting for Lu Man to finish her call.

Seeing Chen Yan sit next to her, Lu Man cozied up to him with a giggly smooch.

Chen Yan thought she would hang up the phone to keep him company, but instead, she kissed him and then twisted her petite behind back onto the sofa, propped up her slender, pale legs, and continued to chat away with Jiang Nanxing.

Seeing her unglamorous demeanor and how she was "neglecting" him, Chen Yan couldn’t help but feel a hint of "desolation": Love’s faded, eh?

It hasn’t been that long since she stopped seeing me as a stranger and lost all regard for her image in my presence.

And before, she wouldn’t have done this!

Every time she saw me, she couldn’t wait to cling to me and wouldn’t let me leave.

But now, she not only hung up on me last time because of work, but she’s also engrossed in her chat with her BFF, tossing me to the back of her mind.

Is this the domestic standing of men after falling in love?!

Cold shiver!

When will us men stand tall!

I’m a billionaire, yet I have no standing in my own home?

While Chen Yan was brooding, Lu Man, still on the phone, shifted her delicate feet into Chen Yan’s lap.

Chen Yan looked at her, and she returned his gaze with an adorable and charming smile, stretching her feet further into his lap and mouthed cutely at him, "It’s cold~ Keep them warm for me."

Chen Yan: .....

No standing at all, really no standing!

I’m a renowned billionaire, and I must warm a woman’s feet?!

Chen Yan was so flustered he almost wanted to storm out slamming the door!

Then, his hand reached for Lu Man’s little feet.

He discovered...

Hey, they’re soft, smooth, but a bit cold.

As he thought, Chen Yan began to play with Lu Man’s feet in his lap.

At first, Lu Man was seriously chatting on the phone. But as Chen Yan’s grip on her feet continued, she started to tickle.

She began giggling and tried to pull her feet back.

But would Chen Yan let her go?

You wanted freedom just now, and now you want to leave?

Do you think you are me, and I am He Mengxue?
