My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 141: Letting You Touch Randomly!

Chen Yan looked at her and smiled, "Back then, you fled to Qin Island for my sake. It was the first time you told me that your career had been put on ice, all for me."

"I was really touched."

"At that moment, I resolved that if you would bring me peaches, I would repay you with precious stones."

"Your coming to Qin Island was to seek refuge with me."

"Morally and rationally, I couldn’t let a girl like you stay in a hotel or a rented house indefinitely."

"So, during those days, I started looking for houses online."

"As it happened, there was a suitable house being sold for a low price."

"After I came to see it, my first reaction was that you would definitely like it."

"Moreover, the landlord wanted to sell it quickly, hence the low price."

"I felt that this house was fated for you, so I bought it."

Listening to Chen Yan’s heartfelt words and watching his handsome face under the light, Lu Man felt a bit slow on the uptake.

She tried hard to find loopholes in Chen Yan’s words.

But after carefully recalling,

whether it was the discussion while they were on the road or the timing of the house purchase, everything matched up.

Could it be...

Was all this true?

For a while, Lu Man was really at a loss.

Her heart began to race, thumping rapidly.

She didn’t know what had come over her.

It was just a very strange feeling.

A feeling she had never experienced before.

Stranger even than a few days prior when Chen Yan touched her leg.

This left her momentarily unaware of what was happening.

After a while, she regained her composure and for the first time showed a flustered expression in front of Chen Yan, "You, you really think this way?"

Chen Yan said, "Of course."

After finishing, he added, "But don’t get me wrong. I only see you as a friend, the kind you fight side by side with in a battle, not someone I harbor illicit intentions towards."

Lu Man was stunned once again.

The intensely thumping heartbeat seemed to slow down a bit.

After a moment, she regained her senses, sighed, patted Chen Yan’s shoulder, and with a nonchalant expression, said, "I didn’t misunderstand. Why would I misunderstand?"

"You really did put thought into this!"

Hearing Lu Man say this, a smile finally bloomed on Chen Yan’s face: crisis averted.

Damn. Finally no social suicide!

I’m a genius!

To come up with such a perfect excuse!

Had it not been for seeing the calendar, remembering the late distribution of the villa in the game, and realizing it just after Lu Man arrived at Qin Island, I would never have thought of such a brilliant excuse!

Moreover...

This excuse can be further extended, allowing me to continue expanding my pet project.

Thinking this, he closed the door, pulled Lu Man to the sofa, and then said, "Man Man. Since you like this house, I’m relieved."

"This house was supposed to be yours. Let’s change the homeowner’s name on another day."

"You’ll feel more secure living in your own house."

Still caught in the emotional whirlwind of being moved by Chen Yan and then being "pushed away," Lu Man blinked when she heard Chen Yan’s comments, asking, "Are you really giving it to me? This house isn’t cheap, right?"

Chen Yan waved his hand, "It’s cheap."

Lu Man looked at him skeptically, "How much?"

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, chose not to lie since the prices could easily be verified online.

"Um... fifteen million."

Lu Man: ....

Lu Man stared intently at Chen Yan, as if trying to imprint his image in her eyes.

Chen Yan initially met her gaze seriously, but gradually, he became overwhelmed by her staring.

He couldn’t help but avert his eyes, feeling a bit nervous.

He had the feeling that ever since he said "I bought this house for Lu Man," she had been acting a bit off.

Maybe... use the "Internal Headphones" to listen to Lu Man’s thoughts?

But... I used up the headphone chances this afternoon.

All were spent listening to Yang Rou’s thoughts.

It was also during the negotiation with Yang Rou this afternoon that Chen Yan realized the real "use" of this tool: it’s not for romance but for... negotiation.

With such a tool, during negotiations, he could easily know the other party’s bottom line and inner thoughts.

Facilitating the adjustment of his own price and understanding the real intentions of the others.

This was why Chen Yan was certain after the negotiations that Yang Rou would join his company.

While Chen Yan was thinking this way, Lu Man suddenly stood up laughing and said, "Alright! Since you put it that way, I’ll accept it!"

Chen Yan looked up, a bit shocked.

Really? Just like that?

A fifteen-million fixed asset and a potential return of up to 200 million!

Could it be that I, Chen Banyi, might become Chen Liangyi in just one day?

But at that moment, Lu Man suddenly leaned over close to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was startled by her sudden movement; she was so close his body slid down abruptly, bringing their faces near each other.

Her posture and movements perfectly showcased the flexibility and strength in her waist from her dance training.

Lu Man looked into Chen Yan’s eyes and added, "But... I don’t want it now."

Her face was very close to Chen Yan’s, her breath fragrant, and the warm air even brushed Chen Yan’s lips, tickling him, "I’ll wait until this movie becomes a hit and earns you money."

"Even if you don’t give it to me, I’ll force you to transfer the title to my name."

Chen Yan looked at Lu Man, gulped, and asked, "How much counts as a hit?"

Lu Man pouted her lips, wrinkled her nose, thought for a moment, and said, "Five hundred million at the box office."

Chen Yan jumped up, "Isn’t that a bit too much?"

Lu Man, caught off-guard by his sudden movement, failed to hold on and with a cry of "Ouch," fell into Chen Yan’s arms.

Chen Yan reflexively caught Lu Man, preventing her from falling.

But when he came to, he realized he was holding the soft and fragrant Lu Man in his arms.

His body stiffened for a moment, but with "two times of experience" behind him, he couldn’t help but savor the moment...

Compared to Yu Qiao Qiao, Lu Man’s body curves were better. That slender waist was almost too thin to hold.

And unlike the softness of Yu Qiao Qiao, Lu Man’s body held a wild tension, feeling firm and elastic under his hands, full of the vigor and youth of a young girl.

The room was quiet for a moment.

Suddenly, a pain-filled yell broke the silence in the living room, "Ahh!"

While Chen Yan was inhaling sharply and holding his foot, he glared at Lu Man, "What are you doing?"

Lu Man looked down at him defiantly, swaying her body left and right proudly, "Have you forgotten what I said?"

"If any pervert dares to take advantage of me, I’ll step on his foot with my high heels, hit his head with my purse, and then report him to the police."

Chen Yan wore an aggrieved face, "You have to be reasonable, you threw yourself into my arms."

Lu Man’s face flushed, but she still argued stubbornly, "I don’t care. Who told you to touch me."

Chen Yan: ....

It was an injustice!

I was just tired of holding my hand on the left, so I moved it to the right. And then...

Tired of it on the right, I moved it to the top.

Ahem...

Chen Yan felt his actions were justified: can’t a guy change where he puts his hand when he’s tired?

But... he didn’t dare say it out loud.

Feeling "in the wrong," Chen Yan didn’t continue the conversation, rubbing his foot and changing the subject, "I think five hundred million is too much. Lower it a bit."

Lu Man was easy to talk to, "Then you tell me how much?"

Chen Yan cautiously held up three fingers.

Lu Man said nonchalantly, "Three hundred million?"

"Um... that works too."

Chen Yan coughed, "Thirty million."

Lu Man: ??

Chen Yan, with a serious and solemn face, said, "Man Man. Although I think you have the making of a superstar. But... superstars also develop step by step."

"This is your first movie! I think we shouldn’t aim too high. Thirty million at the box office is enough."

Lu Man looked puzzled, "But your investment is only thirty million! To break even, the box office needs at least a billion!"

"If there’s really only thirty million at the box office, the money you would get wouldn’t even be able to buy this house."

Chen Yan sighed, "What’s money to me? Do I look like someone who cares about money?"

"I think we should keep our feet on the ground, work hard and just... hey? hey? don’t push me!"

In a moment, "click"... "bang"...

Chen Yan was directly pushed to the door by Lu Man, who opened the door and shoved him out.

Through the window, an irritated Lu Man said, "Let me tell you! Chen Yan! Don’t underestimate people!"

"I, Lu Man, am destined to be a superstar!"

"I will prove with my achievements that investing in me was not wrong!"

"Five hundred million! Not a penny less! If it’s any less, I don’t want your damn house!"

Chen Yan watched her helplessly.

Look at that, look at that... Having a sugar daddy spoiling you endlessly, isn’t that nice? Must you strive so hard?

This damned ambition, it’s too exhausting!

Having been "expelled" from his own house by Lu Man, Chen Yan didn’t bother to struggle.

He did the math.

Five hundred million at the box office was a bit challenging, but if achieved, it seemed like he’d earn more than his "Profession cashback?"

After all, about 1.75 billion is the typical share from a five hundred million box-office, and with the 8-15 times cashback from the gifted villa accounting for another 1.2 billion to 2.25 billion, the prospective revenue could reach three to four billion.

The "Profession cashback" would only net him three billion after three years.

Maybe... should I help this buffoon?

Although he didn’t know exactly how to help, Chen Yan started considering whether helping Lu Man achieve her dream might be more effective than endlessly throwing money at the problem.

Hmm... It would be nice if I could earn so much money and continue to spend lavishly...

There must be a way to have the best of both worlds, right?

Or else, what if she makes the money, and then blows it all on a big production for the next film?

Hmm... Nope, thinking too much now is useless.

Just head home, withdraw the money from Profession cashback, prepare it, and start planning slowly...

Oh right. There’s also Yang Rou’s "Character Card" to check, after all, if I’m really going to wholeheartedly support Lu Man, the backing of these big shots is essential!
