My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 168 Yu Qiao Qiao: I Want to Buy My Own House

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Yu Qiao Qiao: I Want to Buy My Own House

After searching the second floor of the villa for a while, Chen Yan had not found Yu Qiao Qiao.

It wasn’t until he had a brainwave and ran up to the third floor that he discovered Yu Qiao Qiao had hidden herself in the third-floor bathroom.

Apparently, the young girl had panicked, run out of her room, and then, not knowing what to do, fled to the third floor.

No wonder she couldn’t be found.

In such a large villa, hiding a person would indeed be very difficult...

When he reached the room Yu Qiao Qiao was hiding in, Chen Yan gently knocked on the door.

From inside came Yu Qiao Qiao’s shy voice, "Wh-what is it?"

Chen Yan softly explained, "Qiao Qiao, just now... um, it was really a reflex. I didn’t know it would happen like that."

The room went quiet for a while.

Just when Chen Yan thought Yu Qiao Qiao was not going to answer him, her shy, crisp voice came again, "You bad person!"

Chen Yan coughed twice...

Yu Qiao Qiao calling him that didn’t seem wrong. After all, he had indeed acted like a villain just now.

But, when it came to kissing, what man isn’t a bit bad...

Like that, the two of them chatted through the door for about two or three minutes; Yu Qiao Qiao, who the game recognized as a "girlfriend who listens to her boyfriend," finally came out of the room.

Even then, she still pouted, looking at Chen Yan with a wronged expression.

Chen Yan knew the young lady was too shy, and having been "suddenly attacked" by him, she felt aggrieved.

So, he could only keep promising he would never do that again!

Yet even so, today he was still "deprived" by Boss Qiao Qiao of any chance to "study" further.

Chen Yan had studied several times today and felt he had benefited greatly.

He also knew some things shouldn’t be rushed, and to go slowly to have long-term gain.

Thus, he agreed.

Afterward, the two went back to their room and together tidied up Yu Qiao Qiao’s belongings.

While arranging things, Yu Qiao Qiao hesitated and discussed her plans for the two months off with Chen Yan.

"Chen Yan, I was thinking of going to the company a bit less during the vacation. Would that be alright?"

While moving things, Chen Yan indifferently responded, "Of course. As long as you keep getting paid as usual."

Yu Qiao Qiao, who was folding clothes, paused and a question mark slowly appeared above her head. "Huh?"

Chen Yan realized his slip of the tongue, laughed loudly for a moment, and smoothened it over, "I mean, I will keep paying you your salary as usual."

Yu Qiao Qiao looked at Chen Yan dubiously, feeling that there might be a different implication in his two statements.

But she didn’t dwell on it much, merely responding, "No need for that. I can take less."

Chen Yan waved his hand, "It’s fine. You’ve been working part-time anyway, so it’s no different from when you had school."

"If you were to work full-time during the vacation, then I should indeed raise your salary."

Saying this, Chen Yan directly countered any further discussion from Yu Qiao Qiao with a firm statement, "The company has its own rules and regulations regarding salaries. Qiao Qiao, you shouldn’t keep changing things based on your own thoughts."

Hearing Chen Yan talk so seriously, the usually compliant Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t dare argue and just acknowledged with an "Oh..." before continuing to talk about her vacation plans, "I plan to use the vacation time to intern at a TV station."

"Sister Man Man got me an internship as a reporter. I actually went out for a few interviews during my studies."

"Now on vacation, I want to go and understand more about it."

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s plans, Chen Yan was reminded of Yu Qiao Qiao’s "Professional Line."

In Yu Qiao Qiao’s professional line, the "pra-professional" is "Intern Reporter," and the extended lines branch into three: Welfare Institution, Teaching Volunteer, and Charity Organization.

Previously, because Lu Man’s career path was easier to make money with, Chen Yan had been promoting Lu Man’s "Professional Line" and hadn’t paid much attention to Yu Qiao Qiao’s.

It turned out that she had been working hard by herself all along.

Thinking this, Chen Yan couldn’t help but think of Yu Qiao Qiao’s personality.

Yu Qiao Qiao has a soft, kind nature and always harbors some goodwill towards the world.

Even when she was just making ends meet herself, she often helped stray cats and dogs and liked helping others.

Now that she has earned some money with him and resolved her food and clothing issues, helping more people fit her nature.

He just needs to protect her well, so she doesn’t get hurt while helping others.

Among the several career options for Yu Qiao Qiao.

Being an intern reporter in Qin Island, a developed second-tier city, as long as she didn’t go to remote areas, working as a reporter for the city’s TV station wouldn’t pose any problems.

Of the remaining options, the first choice Chen Yan ruled out was "Teaching Volunteer."

Yu Qiao Qiao was too gentle to rashly go to a mountain area to teach; Chen Yan was too worried about her.

But the remaining two options, whether Yu Qiao Qiao works at a Welfare Institution or Charity Organization, wouldn’t be a problem.

Gaining experience for now, and once he had the money, he could establish a welfare or charity organization and let her manage it, fulfilling her dreams while making money at the same time—killing two birds with one stone.

Also... charity organizations spend much more than the entertainment industry; a single donation might be billions or tens of billions.

Chen Yan felt this met his expectations.

Thinking this way, he nodded in agreement, "Alright. Go for it. But...be sure to stay safe and contact me immediately if anything happens."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao obediently nodded, "Don’t worry. Every time we go out on assignments, there are several of us together, so there won’t be any problem."

Chen Yan slightly nodded.

As they continued discussing the vacation plans, Chen Yan helped Yu Qiao Qiao arrange her new room a bit.

After they finished tidying up, looking at her neatly arranged new room, Yu Qiao Qiao happily said to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan, this is the first time I’ve had a room all to myself."

Chen Yan, who owned over a dozen apartments, was a bit surprised as he looked at Yu Qiao Qiao.

Upon seeing the happiness and emotion shining in Yu Qiao Qiao’s eyes, Chen Yan suddenly felt a pang of heartache...

He gently wrapped his arm around Yu Qiao Qiao’s shoulders, partially embracing her, "Don’t worry, later on you will not only have a room of your own but also a house of your own."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao vigorously nodded, happily replying to Chen Yan, "Mhm, yes! I will definitely work hard and buy a house of my own!"

Chen Yan was momentarily at a loss for words.

I... didn’t say you had to work hard to buy a house.

What I meant was, I would buy one for you.

You misunderstood!

However, seeing the gleam in the young girl’s eyes, Chen Yan eventually smiled, nodded, and said, "Yes. You will buy a house with your own hard work."

Pausing as though he thought of something, he added nonchalantly, "If our new game could be as successful as the last one... then as the initiator of the idea, I will definitely give you a generous bonus."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Chen Yan, "Really?"

Chen Yan smiled and nodded, "Really."

Chen Yan’s reasoning was sound and reasonable, so Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t see any problem with it. Instead, she happily hugged Chen Yan and said, "Thank you, Chen Yan~"

Chen Yan looked at her and gently "pecked" her soft lips, then playfully pinched her nose, "Silly girl."

Yu Qiao Qiao’s face...flushed again....

...

Inside the villa, they ordered takeout and had dinner together. Chen Yan didn’t stay long and took his leave, letting Yu Qiao Qiao, who had been exhausted from moving and their several "study sessions" together today, rest.

Having known Yu Qiao Qiao for so long, Chen Yan had gradually understood what kind of person she was.

She wasn’t like Lu Man with grand dreams; she just wanted a small home, her own house, to have enough to eat and wear, a decent job, to work happily and help others in her spare time.

And if her job itself was about helping others, that would be even better.

Chen Yan thought... he should protect this dream of hers.

Then let’s start by helping Boss Qiao Qiao earn her own house.

Although he already was a billionaire, giving it to her directly might make her immediately refuse.

But this game would be a good excuse.

After all, the game’s idea was inspired by her, and she designed its characters, so once the game succeeded, it would be logical to reward her.

The only problem was... would this game be successful?

Since the overall design of the game had not yet been fully finalized, Chen Yan couldn’t test it with "Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera."

Especially since, after several uses, Chen Yan’s film for "Xiao Ha’s Instant Camera" had run out.

He could only wait for the plan to be finalized and check again after next month’s "Happiness Index" update...
