My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 394 He Mengxue: I Will Wait for You Until We’re Old

Chapter 394: Chapter 394 He Mengxue: I Will Wait for You Until We’re Old

Hearing He Mengxue’s question, Chen Yan waved his hand nonchalantly and said magnanimously, "Reward? You tell me. What do you want?"

Flirtatiously, He Mengxue asked, "Will you give me whatever I want?"

"Just..." As Chen Yan was about to agree, he paused, rethought, and immediately coughed, "Of course not..."

He said, "I can’t afford anything too valuable."

Seeing Chen Yan’s reaction, He Mengxue couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh, then said, "President Chen, you’re not being very sincere~"

Chen Yan retorted, "This is called being sincere."

"If I recklessly promise you the moon and can’t deliver, that would be insincere."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, He Mengxue said with a look of regret, "Well then, I guess I really can’t get my reward."

"After all, that might be the most precious reward in the world."

Chen Yan was a clever man and instantly caught the implication in He Mengxue’s words.

Actually... Chen Yan truly thought He Mengxue was a good girl. Although she smoked, drank... uh, wrong track.

Although her ambition was to become the Queen and then wipe out all of Chen Yan’s concubines, she was actually an excellent choice in terms of her looks, family background, and capabilities.

Such a girl could drive countless men insane with desire.

Yet, she alone had eyes only for him, this scumbag.

While their interactions were quite harmonious, and He Mengxue had done things that deeply moved Chen Yan, he really couldn’t, just for her, give up the entire forest for one little tree.

So, with that thought, Chen Yan sighed silently in his heart and, for the first time, officially expressed his refusal.

He looked at He Mengxue standing before him and said earnestly, "Meng Xue, honestly... I’m not quite right for you. I’m not as good as you think."

Originally, Chen Yan wanted to explain why he was saying this, but He Mengxue preempted him, "Chen Yan, I trust your judgment. So, please trust mine as well."

"I..." Chen Yan’s litany of words got stuck in his mouth because of He Mengxue.

He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and say, "Am I really that great?"

He Mengxue seriously nodded her head. She didn’t list Chen Yan’s virtues but simply stated, "You are the best man I’ve ever met. And you just happen to be my type."

"Although, I don’t know why you have such a big prejudice against me."

"You can accept other girls..."

"But, you have never accepted me."

Chen Yan: ...

What reason, are you not aware?

He Mengxue, "But no matter what, I will wait here for you."

"As long as you’re willing to accept me. Even if it’s just releasing a signal, just taking a step towards me, then I’m also willing to take the remaining sixty-six steps on my own."

Hearing He Mengxue’s words, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, "Sixty-six steps? Isn’t it usually ninety-nine?"

He Mengxue said with a sly smile, "Because I want to be with you that much. So I’m taking two steps at a time now."

Chen Yan: ...

At that moment, truth be told, Chen Yan’s heart really seemed to skip a few beats.

Maybe it was He Mengxue’s initiative, maybe it was the affection for him revealed between the lines, Chen Yan truly had a moment when his heart wavered.

However, when he thought about He Mengxue’s "ambition" afterward, Chen Yan still sighed silently.

Alas. It’s not the sister’s ambition that’s too great; it’s the brother who’s too much of a scoundrel.

Is it wrong to wish for the person you love to love only you?

The wrong one is only Chen Yan himself, for wanting to spread his love into many pieces.

While Chen Yan was absent-mindedly contemplating this, He Mengxue noticed his refusal but didn’t take it to heart.

Smiling at Chen Yan, she earnestly said,

"However, you can rest assured."

"If you don’t want to accept me, then I won’t bother you, won’t cling to you, won’t pressure you. I’ll just wait silently not far from you."

"Continuing to wait."

"Until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, until heaven and earth grow old."

"Until we both are gray-haired, leaving behind only this one regret in the world."

Hearing He Mengxue’s words, Chen Yan couldn’t help but smile and said, "That description is quite romantic."

He continued, "But that’s just a metaphor, right?"

He finished speaking and looked towards He Mengxue.

But He Mengxue just smiled at him.

Chen Yan: ??

At that moment, Chen Yan suddenly felt unsure.

He probed again, "It’s... just a metaphor, right?"

He Mengxue still only smiled.

Chen Yan: ...

In that instant, Chen Yan felt: This is it.

She said she wouldn’t cling to him! Clearly, she meant to stick with him for a lifetime!

It truly is the hardest to refuse a beauty’s grace.

What should he do?

Chen Yan worried...

Noticing Chen Yan had gone quiet again, He Mengxue didn’t pursue her advantage further.

Regaining her confidence, the Queen of Qin Island was back. She believed that she would definitely be the one to end up with Chen Yan in the end.

So, since the outcome was already determined, why worry about the day-to-day matters?

With that, Lu Man shifted the conversation to business matters.

She said, "Chen Yan. There is something I need to talk to you about."

"Our company has just started, and we’ve already invested in two projects."

"One is Headline Technology, with an investment of ten billion."

"The other is Fast Come Kabs. Four billion."

"Our total capital is only 22 billion. We’ve already spent most of it. We still need to reserve funds for daily operations and follow-up rounds of investment. So, essentially, we’ll hardly be able to invest in other projects until the funds are liquidated and pulled back."

"Do you have any thoughts about the subsequent source of capital?"

Hearing He Mengxue bring up business, Chen Yan also pulled his thoughts back.

But when he did, he started to worry.

Because the situation was actually far more complicated and difficult than what He Mengxue had described.

Chen Yan had originally set up this company not only to fulfill Zhao Xuan’s entrustment but also to spend a large amount of capital through the role of his Virtual Girlfriend, Zhao Ying.

Originally, Chen Yan thought that by arranging a position in the venture capital company for Zhao Ying, he could open the Professional Line for her and get double the cashback. However, he then discovered that he had miscalculated.

Because after Zhao Ying joined the company, her Professional Line did not open.

This meant that the venture capital company was not within the system-defined Professional Line for Zhao Ying.

This also led to Chen Yan’s strategic planning for this investment company going awry. He didn’t have continuous cashback to invest in this company.

Previously, the problem had been masked because Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera had captured some quality investment projects.

Now, with the problem laid out in front of him, he also had a headache.

After all: entertainment, charity funds, and venture capital institutions are the three industries Chen Yan had researched as most suitable for "burning money."

Now, with a leg of his strategy broken, Chen Yan especially wanted to find someone to make up for it.

Since regaining her confidence, He Mengxue’s original abilities and shrewdness returned.

She keenly sensed Chen Yan’s hesitation. So after brief contemplation, she said, "Chen Yan, what if we do this?"

"Since we’re tight on funds, why don’t we mortgage the shares of Headline Technology and Fast Come Kabs to the bank, get a loan, and then continue investing?"

"Then when we invest in another quality project, we mortgage those shares again. This cycle of mortgaging and expanding can continue."

Hearing He Mengxue’s words, Chen Yan frowned, "That’s circular lending; it’s very risky."

He Mengxue was full of confidence. She said, "I believe in your judgment."

"With you here, our project success rate is so high. It won’t trigger a chain reaction."

Hearing He Mengxue’s words, Chen Yan was momentarily speechless.

This woman... hasn’t she been duped by her own praise?

It was just a few boasts about his own judgment.

And now she’s more confident than he is.

But, after mulling it over, Chen Yan cautiously thought it through.

Feeling that with Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera to guarantee the success rate of investments, such an operation could indeed work.

Even if an accidental setback occurred in a project, with Chen Yan’s current rate of accumulating funds, he estimated he could quickly withdraw cash from other companies to mitigate the risk.

Thinking this through, Chen Yan nodded and agreed, "Okay. Let’s do it that way."

"You’ve been with the He family for so many years. You should know the bank well."

"I’ll leave this to you."

Next, the two discussed other matters regarding the company. After He Mengxue reported all the current work of the investment company, she took the initiative to say goodbye to Chen Yan and prepared to go back to handle business affairs.

What Chen Yan liked the most about her was her sensibility. She never made Chen Yan feel smothered.

And just as Chen Yan was thinking this, He Mengxue, who had reached the office door, suddenly stopped.

She turned around and said to Chen Yan, "By the way. When you have time, try to see Zhao Ying..."

Chen Yan, who had already looked down at his documents, lifted his head with a puzzled look, "What’s wrong with Zhao Ying?"

He Mengxue said, "She... these last few days, has been... well, acting a bit unusual."
