My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 34 Eating

Even though spending money on these girls didn’t yield immediate returns, Chen Yan, now in possession of millions and big money spirited, still didn’t hesitate to order six or seven dishes.

In the gap while waiting for the dishes, everyone started to have a proper conversation.

The first to speak was the soul of Yu Qiao Qiao’s dormitory: Yang Nuannuan.

Today, Yang Nuannuan wore a blouse and a short skirt, and the narrow-framed glasses on her nose made her look even more mature.

After the waiter left, Yang Nuannuan adjusted her glasses and then addressed Chen Yan, "Chen Yan, calling us out today must mean you have something to discuss, right?"

Chen Yan smiled and poured water for each of the girls before saying, "Yes. There’s something I want to talk to you all about."

After pouring the water, Chen Yan placed the kettle on the table and said, "I believe you all have realized, I really like Qiao Qiao. So, I would like to pursue her."

After setting the stage, Chen Yan described the process of how he came to be smitten with Yu Qiao Qiao.

It was basically that Chen Yan happened to read a comic and found the female protagonist very beautiful and with a nice personality.

After finishing, he went downstairs to buy instant noodles and then coincidentally ran into Yu Qiao Qiao.

To his surprise, Yu Qiao Qiao resembled the protagonist of the comic.

Due to this fate, Chen Yan took the initiative to help Yu Qiao Qiao out and got to know her in the process.

And then the subsequent events...were just Chen Yan trying to get in touch with Yu Qiao Qiao and discovering that she was a treasure, constantly surprising him every day.

He realized that there are such special and wonderful girls in this world.

And it inevitably moved his heart.

While speaking the initial part, Chen Yan still wore a smile, but as he recounted the process of getting to know Yu Qiao Qiao, he gradually "got into character."

Thinking about the surprises Yu Qiao Qiao had brought him these days, a slight smile unconsciously formed on his lips.

Seeing him like that, the few girls exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

Likes can’t be faked.

It can be seen in one’s eyes.

Chen Yan’s eyes showed his liking for Qiao Qiao...

Having determined Chen Yan’s "intention," a foundation for the conversation was established.

Yang Nuannuan’s tone towards Chen Yan relaxed significantly.

She took out the Montblanc pen that Chen Yan had given her from her pocket, placed it on the table, and said, "What about these? Don’t you want to explain?"

Chen Yan had already prepared for this before coming.

Seeing Yang Nuannuan and the others pulling out the pens, Chen Yan came back from Yu Qiao Qiao’s "sweetness" and showed an appropriately "embarrassed" expression.

He lowered his head and said, "Ah. You all knew already."

"Then I won’t keep it from you anymore."

"Actually... I am a second-generation rich kid."

The girls had guessed this the night before when they knew how much Chen Yan had spent on them, so they weren’t surprised.

Chen Yan continued, "And among the rich second generations, I’m the least popular kind...the demolishing second generation..."

Then, Chen Yan half-jokingly narrated his own story.

Basically, his family was wealthy, and his parents had few demands on him, only hoping that Chen Yan would inherit the family estate and collect rent.

However, Chen Yan didn’t want to be a landlord; he wanted to develop games. He aimed to make China’s games famous worldwide.

These conflicting views caused him to be somewhat rebellious from a young age and not too fond of studying, and of course, he hadn’t interacted much with girls either.

Thus, when he met Yu Qiao Qiao, he didn’t know how to express his feelings and could only clumsily spend money.

After annoying Yu Qiao Qiao, he had no choice but to quickly think of ways to make amends.

As for the gifts for Yang Nuannuan and the others, they were bought because Chen Yan saw online tutorials that said to pursue a girl, one must first win over her best friends.

After listening to Chen Yan’s explanations, the girls exchanged glances, feeling...it made sense.

Considering what Chen Yan had done during this period, they felt it all matched up, especially as Chen Yan talked about the "conflict of views," "having never dated," and his genuine outpouring when trying to make amends.

This made them believe he wasn’t lying.

This further softened their attitude towards Chen Yan.

Yang Nuannuan looked at Chen Yan and said gently, "Chen Yan, we understand your feelings now. Don’t worry, as long as you treat Qiao Qiao well, we all support you."

"As for whether Qiao Qiao likes you, that really has to do with fate."

She paused, looked at the others, and said, "We just hope that if Qiao Qiao likes you too, then you must treat her well."

"If she doesn’t like you, please also be able to quietly walk away and not disturb her."

Chen Yan nodded earnestly, "Don’t worry. I will."

Yang Nuannuan nodded, then extended her hand towards the three little ones.

The three little ones obediently took out their pens and handed them to Yang Nuannuan one by one.

Zhao Ying also placed her pen on the table.

Yang Nuannuan gathered all the pens together, pushed them towards Chen Yan, and said, "However, we can’t accept these gifts. They are really too valuable."

"If you can treat Qiao Qiao well and she can be happy, that’s the best gift for us."

Chen Yan looked at Yang Nuannuan and said, "Please keep the items."

Seeing Yang Nuannuan wanting to refuse again, Chen Yan said earnestly,

"First, this money doesn’t mean much to me."

"Second, I am in the gaming industry, and even if you return these pens to me, I won’t use them. It would all be wasted."

"Third, this gift was meant for Qiao Qiao, and it was Qiao Qiao who shared it with you. If you want to return it, you should return it to her, and let her return it to me."

"Lastly, I gave you these gifts hoping you would occasionally look after Qiao Qiao."

"Additionally... I actually have another favor to ask of you, so consider this gift a thank-you as well."

Then, the two of them launched into a fierce debate over whether to accept the gift or not.

This debate lasted for over ten minutes and ended with Chen Yan emerging victorious.

Because each time it came to the crunch, Chen Yan would use Yu Qiao Qiao as a shield: I gave it to Qiao Qiao, you can’t go behind her back to return it to me. What would I look like in Qiao Qiao’s heart then.

Every time this happened, Yang Nuannuan was so irritated she nearly threw Chen Yan out.

But each time she got annoyed, Chen Yan would quickly pour her a cup of water and apologize so earnestly that she couldn’t remain angry.

So, after a few rounds of this, Yang Nuannuan gave up.

Forget it, forget it, can’t argue, just keep them for now.

If things really don’t work out between the two later, they could give them back then.

With another key issue resolved, the atmosphere at the table became even more harmonious.

At this moment, the dishes arrived.

Everyone ate and chatted together.

Yang Nuannuan and the others also asked Chen Yan about the favor he had mentioned needing help with.
