My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 286: Giving You 300,000 a Month for Pocket Money

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Giving You 300,000 a Month for Pocket Money

Hearing Zhao Xuan’s voice, Chen Yan next to her was slightly startled.

What? Wasn’t Zhao Xuan... dead? How could he be speaking?

His mind quickly considered two possibilities.

One was that Zhao Xuan might not be dead, and He Mengxue had received fake news.

Two was... this might be a pre-recorded audio.

It’s not that Chen Yan was being overly imaginative. It’s just that he had interacted with He Mengxue and Qin Ming many times before and knew that for such a serious matter, they wouldn’t have told him without verifying it first.

Moreover... more importantly, Zhao Xuan’s attitude on the phone was different from what Chen Yan had previously understood.

You see, after Chen Yan took Zhao Ying away, he had also been in contact with Zhao Xuan.

But Zhao Xuan had been kind to Chen Yan and didn’t seem to mind that Zhao Ying had run away from home.

However, in this phone call, he appeared to be very angry with Zhao Ying, which was obviously unreasonable.

Although Chen Yan had communicated with Zhao Xuan, Zhao Ying had not. Hearing her father’s voice, she let out a sigh of relief and stuck her tongue out at Chen Yan.

Then, from the phone came the flustered voice of the man who had answered, "Miss, the master is really angry. I dare not talk to you any longer."

"If you’ve had enough fun, come back soon."

Zhao Ying said, "Uncle Pei, I... "

Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Xuan’s voice came from the phone again, "What’s there to come back to? Let her go and have fun with that Chen boy!"

Zhao Ying said in a low voice, "Uncle Pei, is my dad really that angry... "

Uncle Pei replied softly, "Yes, Miss. So don’t make more trouble."

After finishing, he added, "The master is coming over. I can’t talk to you anymore."

"Don’t worry, I’ll try to appease him and get him to not be so angry."

Zhao Ying replied in a hurry, "Oh, okay."

She had only gotten halfway through her last sentence when the call was already cut off.

Listening to the "du-du" tone on the receiver, Chen Yan was almost certain that Zhao Xuan’s voice had been recorded.

He couldn’t help but glance at Zhao Ying and sighed deeply in his heart.

However, this time Zhao Ying didn’t see through his melancholy. She casually pocketed her phone and then wrapped her arm around Chen Yan’s neck, saying, "Looks like my sixth sense can be wrong sometimes!"

"I really thought something happened to my dad!"

"I was just saying, if my dad was in trouble, I would definitely feel it."

"Hehe. Let’s go. It’s lunchtime. I’ll treat you to a meal!"

Chen Yan glanced at the carefree Zhao Ying, his heart filled with all sorts of emotions, yet he couldn’t express them. He could only smile and say, "Alright."

Zhao Ying said she was going to treat, but in reality, since she ran away from home, she didn’t have much money. So her treat was actually inviting Chen Yan to the school canteen.

Seeing through her scheme, Chen Yan nevertheless declined. It’s not that he looked down on the canteen, but he wanted to have a good talk with Zhao Ying over lunch, and the canteen, with its many people and noisy environment, was not conducive to conversation.

Moreover, she was now his Virtual Girlfriend, and he could get cash back on his expenses for treating her.

Therefore, in the end, the lunch was paid for by Chen Yan, and the place was a decent restaurant near the school.

They asked the owner for a private room, and Chen Yan and Zhao Ying sat down inside.

He handed the menu to Zhao Ying, letting her order whatever she wanted.

Zhao Ying didn’t hesitate at all and straightaway ordered several dishes that looked tasty but were also not cheap.

After ordering the dishes and two drinks, the owner left the room, leaving only Chen Yan and Zhao Ying.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Chen Yan took the opportunity to observe her seriously for the first time.

It had to be said, Zhao Ying was quite beautiful. Possibly due to her affluent family background, her skin had been well taken care of since childhood, fair and tender as if you could squeeze water out of it.

Her eyes were so black and bright as if they could radiate light. And her eyes were so lively, even excessively so, as if her mind could, in a split second, come up with thousands of bizarre thoughts.

She was like a fairy that came from the woods into the city, possessing a wild nature from the great outdoors and an endless curiosity about everything.

Possibly due to Chen Yan’s overly direct gaze, Zhao Ying cocked her head curiously at him, "Why are you looking at me?"

Chen Yan snapped back to reality and took a sip of his tea to hide his embarrassment, "Oh, nothing. There are just the two of us in this room, so of course, I’m looking at you."

"Oh," Zhao Ying acknowledged and then propped her chin with her hands on top of the table, starting to gaze at Chen Yan with those lively eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Zhao Ying continued to stare intently at Chen Yan, making him somewhat uncomfortable.

He asked, "Why are you staring at me..."

Zhao Ying tilted her head, puzzled, "Didn’t you say there are only two people in the room, so we should look at each other?"

Chen Yan: ...

If someone else had said this to Chen Yan, he would mostly suspect that they were deliberately "provoking" him. But... Zhao Ying...

Chen Yan knew that she probably really thought that way.

So Chen Yan again took a sip of water to cover his unease and started another conversation, "How have you been doing lately?"

Upon hearing Chen Yan speak, Zhao Ying stopped staring blankly and sat up straight, waving her hand, "So-so. Not good or bad. But I’m happy and free every day."

Chen Yan asked, "Have you thought about going home for a visit?"

Zhao Ying shook her head, "No way. You heard it. My dad is really angry right now."

"I wouldn’t dare go back."

"And..." she chuckled happily, "I’ve just left, why would I be in a hurry to return?"

She looked up at the ceiling, "I want to have lots of fun outside!"

Hearing her say this, Chen Yan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, "Well then, you go have your fun outside."

He added, "From now on, I’ll give you an allowance every month... no, let it be 50,000."

"Buy whatever you want, don’t hold back."

Surprised by Chen Yan’s words, Zhao Ying looked at him, "50,000 a month?"

Chen Yan nodded.

Zhao Ying leaned forward, her delicate fingers pinching Chen Yan’s cheek, "Have you gone mad? Why are you giving me so much money?"

Chen Yan brushed her hand away, explaining, "Not at all. I just worry you won’t be accustomed to it!"

"As a young lady, your expenses must be high. Ten thousand might not be enough for you."

Zhao Ying backed her head with her hands, still looking at Chen Yan, "But even fifty thousand wouldn’t be enough. When I was at home, I used to get one or two hundred thousand for pocket money."

Hearing her say this, Chen Yan didn’t hesitate to say, "Then I’ll give you three hundred thousand. How’s that?"

This really took Zhao Ying by surprise.

She tilted her head and looked at Chen Yan seriously.

Those lively eyes seemed to see right through his heart.

After a while, she said, "Do you feel... a bit guilty towards me? Why?"

She blinked, puzzled.

Chen Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

This girl really must have a Golden Finger!

That’s too frightening!

Chen Yan quickly adjusted his emotions and after a moment of thought, he felt he couldn’t always deny it.

He went with Zhao Ying’s line of thinking and said, "Actually... there is a little."

"Hmm... I did something that wasn’t quite right by you."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Zhao Ying suddenly became interested, her eyes shining with the light of gossip, "Go on, tell me, what is it?"

Chen Yan had no choice but to tell her about needing publicity, needing a manor, and eventually borrowing from Zhao Xuan, even though that wasn’t exactly the situation then. However, it didn’t stop it from being a very convincing excuse.

So, after hearing Chen Yan’s explanation, Zhao Ying started playfully hitting him, "That’s really uncool of you!"

"You said you would take me away from home, but then you secretly contacted my dad!"

Chen Yan said awkwardly, "Yeah, I know. So, I feel quite sorry for you."

"Plus... your dad didn’t charge me anything, so I thought I’d make it up to you."

Zhao Ying understood, "Got it!"

She said, "I’ll open a bank account in a few days, and you can just transfer the money on time."

After she finished speaking, she added, "By the way, do I still need to have an official position or something?"

Zhao Ying was referring to when Chen Yan planned to have her on the company’s payroll, giving her an allowance that way, so it could be reimbursed by the system.

But... under those circumstances, the reimbursement was only 2 times cash back.

Now that Zhao Ying had become his Virtual Girlfriend...

Chen Yan declared resolutely, "No need. I’ll just give it to you privately!"

Zhao Ying nonchalantly nodded, "Oh, okay."

Although the passing of Zhao Xuan affected Chen Yan’s mood, thinking that in the future he could rightfully give Zhao Ying 300,000 per month and then earn a 10-fold return, which is 3 million, made him feel somewhat better.

After all, 3 million a month is 36 million a year. It’s not a lot, but... it’s enough to make a movie.

It could be considered a bonus.

After that, Chen Yan and Zhao Ying continued their conversation over the meal.
