My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 471: The Scumbag Experience

To be honest, when Yang Rou saw Chen Yan buying medicine for her, she should have been moved under normal circumstances.

However, don’t forget that Yang Rou was currently in a state of confusion.

She didn’t even know how to face Chen Yan.

Even as a strong woman like her, she still had a tendency to avoid.

As a result, Chen Yan now personally delivered the medicine.

This made Yang Rou’s already wavering heart more unstable.

She stood up, her facial expression a bit stiff.

"Thank you, Director Chen."

Even without using "Heart Headphones," Chen Yan still keenly captured Yang Rou’s current state.

He also realized that he was being too hasty.

He should have given Yang Rou some time to think independently, rather than continuously pressuring her as he was doing now.

So, Chen Yan decisively smiled, put down the medicine, and stylishly left Yang Rou’s office.

His decisive manner almost made Yang Rou wonder if she had misunderstood.

Could it be that Chen Yan wasn’t here to show care for her or to gain her acceptance?

But was he just acting as a boss caring for his subordinate?

Chen Yan’s firmness clearly served a good purpose.

Yang Rou, who was initially resistant to the idea of Chen Yan bringing her medicine, not only accepted it, but the impression it left in her heart grew even larger...

At this moment, after leaving Yang Rou’s office, Chen Yan also felt a bit helpless.

He found, women are really fickle.

Previously, whenever he showed care for Yang Rou, she would seem very happy.

But now, when he showed her care, she began to resist.

Understanding a girl truly was very difficult.

Thus, Chen Yan no longer pursued her aggressively but decided to attend to some business first: the Zhao family was arriving at Qin Island tomorrow, and Chen Yan needed to meet with Qin Ming to discuss the itinerary.

With that thought, Chen Yan took the elevator down to the investment company.

Under the management of Qin Ming and He Mengxue, the investment company had grown significantly.

Moreover, apart from a few initial projects that required Chen Yan’s direct approval, the company had established an effective investment selection mechanism.

They also began to invest in some smaller projects, which seemed promising.

Of course... all these achievements originated from Qin Ming.

It wasn’t just his capabilities that had allowed the company to prosper so well. Mainly, most of the high-quality projects they found were due to the contacts he had accumulated over the past twenty years.

You see.

Although He Mengxue had represented the He family during these twenty years, and because of this, she gained resources mostly at an official business level,

Now that she had started her own business, those connections were somewhat ineffective.

But it was different for Qin Ming. Over these twenty years, although he operated under the identity of the He family,

Because he couldn’t represent the He family, the resources he gained were more personal.

Now, he was thriving.

It must be said, this was something most people hadn’t anticipated...

While musing, Chen Yan arrived at the vice president’s office of the investment company.

He knocked on the door; instead of Qin Ming’s voice, there were the strange sounds of shuffling and organizing things inside.

While Chen Yan was still puzzled by the noise, it stopped, and Qin Ming’s voice rang out, "Please come in."

Curious, Chen Yan pushed the door and walked in.

There was nothing unusual in the office, and Qin Ming was sitting upright behind his desk.

Employees of the investment company were quite elitely dressed, so Qin Ming was also wearing a fitting suit, a white shirt, and even a tie.

Paired with his naturally handsome face, he looked like a charming gentleman.

Of course... Chen Yan thought, he was just so-so. Still lacking compared to himself.

Having known each other for so long and being more than just acquaintances, when Qin Ming saw it was Chen Yan who came to the office, he immediately relaxed and reverted to his casual self, "Brother Chen, what wind brought you here?"

"You didn’t go looking for my sister and walk into the wrong place, did you?"

Hearing Qin Ming’s jest, Chen Yan laughed and pointed at him, saying, "You, don’t joke about your sister so casually. If she ends up chasing you around the company with a baseball bat, I won’t save you."

Hearing Chen Yan’s banter, Qin Ming "hehe" chuckled twice. Then he said, "My sister wouldn’t do that."

"She’s learning to be a lady recently."

"Learning to be a lady?" Chen Yan was startled for a moment and asked curiously, "Why?"

Qin Ming said unconcernedly, "What else could it be for? Surely you said something unintentionally that made her think you like ladylike women."

Chen Yan: ...

Despite being used to He Mengxue’s "fawning," every time Chen Yan was still able to refresh his understanding.

He recalled the recent conversations he had with He Mengxue.

It seemed like he didn’t mention anything about ladylike topics.

So, confused about what He Mengxue was up to, he decided to change the subject.

So, he asked, "What were you doing in the room just now?"

"I heard noises inside."

Faced with Chen Yan, Qin Ming didn’t conceal anything.

Perhaps in his heart, sharing some of his secrets might even help strengthen his relationship with Chen Yan.

So, somewhat embarrassedly, he said, "Actually... it’s nothing much."

"Just... my girlfriend. She said she got pregnant."

"So, I bought a pregnancy test. Planning to test her."

"I just got it at noon, and I was opening it here."

Chen Yan: ...

If not for Qin Ming reminding, Chen Yan had almost forgotten that Qin Ming was a player, once the nightlife prince of Qin Island.

The guy who changes girlfriends more often than clothes...

After slotting him into this persona, Chen Yan suddenly felt... it wasn’t surprising.

However, as a person with "righteous values," when it was time to criticize, Chen Yan still did.

So, he coughed and said, "You weren’t careful."

"You must always take safety measures in sports."

"Isn’t that what teachers have been teaching us since we were young?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Qin Ming blinked and then nodded, "Right."

"But teachers also taught us to always warm up before doing exercises."

"I usually don’t wear protective gear during warm-ups."

Chen Yan: ??

Suddenly Chen Yan wasn’t sure how to respond to these words.

He felt he was being corrupted...

Seeing that he had uttered something confusing Chen Yan, Qin Ming didn’t chase the subject further but laughed and then said, "Besides, Brother Chen. Actually... I’m always quite cautious."

"So... I now suspect that my ex-girlfriend, might have been with someone else afterward."

"Then came to me to pawn off the responsibility."

Chen Yan: ...

Chen Yan kindly pointed out, "Pregnancy tests can’t tell who the father of the child is."

Qin Ming: ...

Qin Ming had a bittersweet laugh, "I just want to confirm whether she’s really pregnant."

"I suspect she’s trying to force me into getting back together with this tactic."

Saying this, Qin Ming sighed, "But she doesn’t understand. I already have someone else I like."

"It’s impossible for us to be together."

Chen Yan couldn’t help but ask, "How long has it been since you broke up with her?"

Qin Ming "ah?" for a moment, then said, "Quite a long time."

"Three days now."

Chen Yan: ...

In that instant, Chen Yan suddenly felt that he was quite normal himself. Not scummy at all.

Compared to Qin Ming, he was practically loyal.

For a moment, Chen Yan felt a bit proud of himself.

Realizing they might end up chatting for a long time, Qin Ming stood up from his desk and joined Chen Yan on the guest couch.

Then they continued talking.

Facing this master of scum-ery, Chen Yan adopted a modest attitude, seeking advice, "Qin Ming. How do you manage so many women?"

"Why does every one of mine feel like a headache?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Qin Ming’s forehead visibly creased into three lines, "Brother Chen. Our difficulties are not the same."

"Although I have many girlfriends, I only find the next one after breaking up with the previous."

"I change them frequently, you develop multiple threads simultaneously."

"It’s not the same thing."

Chen Yan: .....

Why do I unexpectedly sense "feeling inferior" from these words?

What is this?

I think you’re more scummy than me, but you think I’m more scummy than you?

So, are we both "scorning" each other?

Maybe sensing Chen Yan’s wild thoughts, Qin Ming thought for a bit but then didn’t delve into which one of them was the worse offender.

Instead, he began to share his experience.

He said, "Brother Chen. Your situation is pretty unique. I don’t really have good advice."

"But I can share my thoughts."

"I think, to handle women, the most important thing for a man is confidence."

"Confidence can conquer them all. Be confident they will never leave you."

"If you think you are a flower, then you worry whether spring will leave you."

"But if you are the spring, then you will always have flowers. You never care whether they will leave."

"Because. They simply can’t leave you."

Saying this, Qin Ming looked at Chen Yan, then continued, "Brother Chen, with your current wealth, age, and your considerate, meticulous ways."

"Really. You don’t need to worry about anything."

"No woman can resist your charm."

Chen Yan nodded, somewhat understanding yet not fully grasping it.

Then he heard Qin Ming say, "Additionally. I understand that knot in your heart."

"You just feel guilty, so you can’t be bold and righteous."

"Actually... all men are lecherous. All fantasize about embracing multiple lovers."

"Even women."

"The only issue is handling these matters well. Handle them well, and it’s charming. Handle them poorly, and it becomes sleazy..."

"The only thing you need to be careful about is... not to assume too much."

"Make sure that she really likes you. Wants to be with you. Is willing to accept your current situation."

He said, "Ah. It’s just that times have changed. Women’s thoughts have become more difficult to understand."

"If it were in the past, it wouldn’t be so troublesome."

Saying this, Qin Ming somewhat nostalgically said, "After all, true words are rare in this world. A woman’s blush sometimes speaks louder than a thousand words." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"But then came makeup, and it became hard to tell sincerity from pretense..."

Listening to Qin Ming speak this "scumbag theory," Chen Yan momentarily thought that indeed, being a scumbag was a deep and profound art.

Fortunately, he had the system and "Heart Headphones" to clearly discern a woman’s true intentions.

Otherwise, how could he be so carefree...

Following that, Chen Yan further inquired about how Qin Ming pursued women, and how to appease them after. He felt thoroughly satisfied with the discussion.

The two talked for over an hour, leaving Qin Ming quite dry-mouthed.

So, after the extensive conversation, he went to fetch some water, casually asking, "By the way, Brother Chen. Did you come to see me just to talk about this?"

Hearing Qin Ming’s question, Chen Yan then remembered his actual business.

He said, "Of course not."

"I came to discuss your plans for tomorrow."

Qin Ming responded with an "oh," saying, "You mean Zhao Hengyu, right?"

He continued, "I’ve arranged for him to stay at the Twin Towers Hotel. Tomorrow evening’s dinner."

"Since you mentioned this matter is sensitive, I didn’t arrange for anyone to accompany him. It’ll be just the two of you."

"That way, whatever matter it is, it’ll be easy to discuss."

Hearing Qin Ming’s plans, Chen Yan thought it over and said, "Okay, let’s keep that arrangement for now."

"But add your sister to it."

"My sister?" Qin Ming was startled.

Chen Yan nodded, "I have a few things I want to verify. Actually, having a friend of mine intervene would be better."

"But her temperament might not be suitable for that setting."

"So, let your sister join in. I’ll go and brief her in a bit."
