Chen Yan was a little hesitant.
Because he really didn't prepare any surprises for Lu Man during this period of time.
Trying to figure out a way to resolve the issue between her and Yu Qiaoqiao had already taken up most of his energy, so he had no time to prepare a surprise.
However, although I don’t understand what Lu Man is talking about.
But during this period of time, dealing with several women, the most useful thing Chen Yan learned was: in front of women, if you don’t understand things, then don’t talk too much, just listen to them quietly.
Because, who knows... they might be the ones who get the surprise.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan just smiled and replied, "Well... as long as you like it..."
And sure enough, it was not beyond Chen Yan's expectations.
Lu Man happily told the whole story.
She said with longing, "Chen Yan... you have no idea how surprised I was when I received the skins and character models that Qiaoqiao sent me!"
"This matter is actually not that important to me."
"What I care about is your attitude."
"But you have been perfunctorily treating me these days."
"At that time...I was really a little disappointed."
"Because I don't know what I am in your heart."
"I don't know if the promise you made to me was just a blank check to coax me and deceive me."
Lu Man's voice was a little low. "In the past two years, although my status in the entertainment industry has been getting higher and higher, I have also become more and more aware of how many people in this circle are just playthings of the rich and powerful."
"I also understand how lucky I was that I accidentally became famous and then met Sister Meili."
"But I really don't know what you think of me."
At this point, her voice gradually turned into joy, "But now I feel relieved!"
"I know you really take my matter to heart!"
"Besides, you are really trying to hint at us with Yu Qiaoqiao."
"I believe that when the time is right, you will confess everything to Qiaoqiao."
“Although, I don’t know what the final outcome will be.”
"but……"
"When I know that you have this heart, I will be satisfied."
Lu Man said seriously, "Thank you, Chen Yan."
After listening to Lu Man's words, Chen Yan finally understood the whole story.
And he suddenly understood what Yu Qiaoqiao was doing these days, hiding from him.
Maybe for some reason, she finally agreed to let Lu Man have the Easter egg in the game.
In addition, he personally designed the character image and skin for Lu Man.
Now, Yu Qiaoqiao no longer doubted Chen Yan and agreed to everything.
And Lu Man thought that all this was arranged by Chen Yan.
The matter can be said to have been resolved satisfactorily.
but……
For some reason, Chen Yan did not feel happy or joyful.
Listening to Lu Man's words, he always felt blocked in his heart, as if a hand was twisting his heart.
He bit his lip and listened quietly to Lu Man's words.
Finally, he forced a smile and said, "Yeah. As long as you like it."
It was the same answer as at the beginning, but Chen Yan's mood was completely different...
Perhaps noticing that Lu Man was in a bad mood, she gradually calmed down from her joyful attitude.
She was quiet for a while, then asked in a low voice, "Chen Yan. Why do you...seem unhappy?"
Chen Yan bit his lip, trying his best to keep his tone normal.
Then he whispered, "I just told you...I'm working. I'm seeing a client."
"So, it's not very convenient to talk."
After hearing Chen Yan's explanation, Lu Man suddenly said, "Oh, so that's it~"
She said arrogantly, "Humph! Since you are busy, you can just not answer the phone."
"I'm not that unreasonable girl!"
After saying this, she said, "Okay. Then you can get busy~"
At the end, Lu Man added in a low voice, "Don't drink too much. Remember to go back and rest early."
Hearing Lu Man's words, Chen Yan's heart ached even more.
He hummed.
Seeing that Chen Yan was indeed inconvenient to talk, Lu Man smiled and said "Mu Ma~" and kissed Chen Yan, then hung up the phone without waiting for Chen Yan's response.
Just like the little hooligan who ran away after giving a forced kiss.
As he listened to the "beep...beep..." sound coming from the phone, Chen Yan's expression was extremely complicated.
He looked out the corridor window at the Fenghua Building standing opposite.
The eighteen-story Fenghua Building looks extremely magnificent.
Even though it was almost eight o'clock, the upper floors were still brightly lit.
Each floor is a leading company in its industry.
The entire building together is the prototype of the business empire established by Chen Yan.
However, the more he looked, the more confused Chen Yan felt.
Especially, thinking about Yu Qiaoqiao and Lu Man, Chen Yan became even more confused...
After standing quietly by the window for a while, Chen Yan picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Yu Qiaoqiao.
[I heard from Lu Man that you designed the character model and skin for her? ]
【Didn’t we agree not to do this? 】
He was still curious about what Yu Qiaoqiao was thinking.
After a while, Yu Qiaoqiao's message came, which was a voice message.
Chen Yan clicked on it, and Yu Qiaoqiao's soft, weak voice came out.
"Chen Yan... I went back and thought about this matter again. I felt that what I did was wrong."
"You are starting a business. And Sister Manman is your partner. You should support each other."
"Also, like you said, if Sister Manman can become a character and skin in your game, then it will be a win-win situation for both the game and her."
"Whether it's a film and television company or a gaming company, they are all your businesses."
"After I went back, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was a good thing."
"And I can't interfere with the development of your company just because I like it or not."
"So, I tried to make up for it and secretly made Sister Manman's skin~"
"I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you."
“Hehe~”
Listening to Yu Qiaoqiao's words, Chen Yan seemed to see this silly and foolish girl in front of him.
The mood that had just been somewhat relieved became even more blocked.
Chen Yan didn't reply to the message, but put the phone back in his pocket.
He loosened the collar of his formal suit and stared out the window in a daze.
My mind is a little confused.
He didn't know when, but suddenly a soft body pressed against his back, and a beautiful face rested on his shoulder, "What's wrong? Chen Yan? Why haven't you returned after more than half an hour?"
Smell the faint scent of jasmine behind you.
Chen Yan knew that it was He Mengxue who had been waiting in the room for a long time who came out.
He retracted his previous thoughts and forced a smile, "It's okay. Something suddenly happened."
As an older sister type of woman, He Mengxue easily saw through Chen Yan's insincerity.
While gently helping Chen Yan tidy up his clothes, she asked, "Relationship matters?"
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment.
Originally he didn't want to talk about it.
But then I thought about how He Mengxue already knew about my relationship with Yu Qiaoqiao and Lu Man. There was no point in hiding it.
So, he finally nodded.
Seeing Chen Yan admit it, He Mengxue gently took Chen Yan's hand and said, "Let's talk inside. It's always inconvenient in the corridor."
Maybe because Chen Yan suddenly felt bad, he saw a different side of He Mengxue.
He nodded, then followed He Mengxue back to the room.
When they arrived at the room, He Mengxue naturally let go of Chen Yan's hand.
She pushed Chen Yan onto the table and didn't talk about relationship matters first.
Instead, he picked up some food for Chen Yan and said gently, "Eat something first. The food is getting cold."
Chen Yan hummed, picked up the dish and put it into his mouth.
Seeing Chen Yan being so cooperative, He Mengxue couldn't help but smile.
Whenever she smiled, she looked particularly charming, as if she was a vixen that had sneaked into the human world.
Every move has a natural charm.
However, this time Chen Yan didn't pay any attention to it, as if he didn't see it, and his expression didn't change.
Seeing Chen Yan like this, He Mengxue chuckled twice. She rummaged through her bag and took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes.
She held a cigarette in her slender hand with red nail polish, put it in her mouth and lit it.
Smoke slowly emerged.
Chen Yan frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
At this time, He Mengxue also slowly opened her mouth.
She said with emotion, "You men are just greedy..."
"I have white roses, but I feel that red roses are more charming and beautiful."
"With red roses, I feel that white roses are pure as snow, and they make people fall in love with them at first sight."
"Red and white roses are not enough. I want peonies and Chinese peonies. Sometimes I don't even want to miss a beautiful flower on the roadside. I want to pick it and take it home to enjoy it."
At this point, she glanced at Chen Yan, her narrow eyes like a fox, with charming contempt. It seemed as if she could see through all the men's hearts.
Chen Yan was hit on the heart by her words. He put down his chopsticks awkwardly and wiped his mouth.
Seeing this, He Mengxue took a puff of cigarette, picked up the wine, took a sip, and said, "Are you feeling guilty about your white rose and red rose now?"
Chen Yan said "hmm".
Then he stared blankly at the wall and said, "I just feel a little emotional. I think they are so nice."
“I’m a little unworthy of them.”
He Mengxue nodded in agreement, "I also think you are not worthy of her."
"Why would a scumbag like you harm two good girls?"
Chen Yan answered confidently this time, "Because... I like them."
He Mengxue rolled her eyes, "You like it, but you want to harm others?"
Chen Yan added, "They like me, too."
"I'm not causing any trouble. They and I are in love with each other."
He Mengxue: ...
He Mengxue patted her forehead and said, "Chen Yan, how can I say anything to you?"
"How can one person be in love with two people?"
“You are being immoral.”
When you are alone, your thinking may always be blocked, but once you discuss with someone, your thoughts will immediately be opened up.
So, Chen Yan looked at He Mengxue and asked, "Then you kept seducing me and pestering me even though you knew I had a girlfriend . Do you think it's moral to want to be with me?"
He Mengxue was speechless for a moment.
After a moment, she snorted and said, "I'm a scumbag. I have low moral standards. Don't compare yourself to me."
Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh, "That's unfortunate. I'm a scumbag. I also have a low moral bottom line."
Seeing that Chen Yan was completely shameless, He Mengxue rolled her eyes.
Then she put out the cigarette in her hand and said, "So what are you going to do?"
Chen Yan's thoughts may really be clear now.
He thought absentmindedly for a moment, then said slowly, "I don't know either."
“I just think I like them.”
"No matter which one of them, I don't want to give up."
"In the past half month, I have thought about whether I should finally confirm my feelings and choose only one."
“But I found that I couldn’t do it.”
"Because I am very selfish and I don't want any of them to leave me."
"Especially, the better they treat me."
"The more guilty I feel."
"On the contrary, I dare not let them leave."
"Because... I can't accept them being with other men."
"I'm also not sure if other men will be nice to them or bully them."
"If those men bully them, abuse them, and cannot give them the life they want."
"They are only left at home to do laundry and cook, and act like yellow-faced women."
"Or, they force them to go out to work and earn money to support the family, while they gamble at home and do nothing."
"When I think of those terrible things, I dare not think about it anymore."
“I don’t want to put an uncertain future in someone else’s hands.”
“I want to take control of our future.”
"Because, at least, I can be sure that I really like them. I will treat them well."
"I also have the ability and conditions to give them the life they want and fulfill their dreams."
"It won't make them have to struggle for a living."
"They won't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation all day long."
Thinking of this, Chen Yan's thoughts suddenly became clearer.
Because, at this moment, he suddenly seemed to understand the meaning of the system's ultimate reward.
After completing Yu Qiaoqiao's fourth round of tasks, Chen Yan received an ultimate task.
That is to complete Yu Qiaoqiao’s career line, or her “dream line”.
After completing the career line, Chen Yan will have a chance to see Yu Qiaoqiao's original life.
At that time, Chen Yan had no reaction to this reward.
Because he felt that although it had some meaning, it seemed... worthless.
But at this moment, he suddenly understood:
This reward is to let Chen Yan see Yun Yang's life in the original time and space after giving her the best life he thought. Make a comparison.
Let Chen Yan know whether he had harmed her or changed her life?
After the comparison, Chen Yan also knew where he should work hard to make up for it.
Or, accept their love with peace of mind...
Thinking of this, Chen Yan suddenly became motivated.
He felt that a little bit of scum was nothing.
Making the person you love suffer is the greatest sin!
Moreover, hasn’t China only practiced monogamy for about a hundred years?
More recently, polyandry was still practiced in Hong Kong until the 1970s.
To date, many countries around the world still support polyandry.
Therefore, although Chen Yan knew that he was making far-fetched arguments, he at least found some excuses that could be used to persuade people.
He felt that it was useless to worry about these things.
These girls were all so kind to him, so how could he bear to let them down?
Therefore, it would be better for him to try his best to be nice to these girls.
Then, let these girls choose for themselves...
Thinking of this, the depressed mood finally disappeared, and a smile appeared on Chen Yan's face again.
He smiled and raised his glass to He Mengxue, saying, "Come on. Have a sip."
He Mengxue looked at Chen Yan strangely.
I always feel that Chen Yan seems to be different from before.
But I can’t tell exactly where the difference is.
It seems that he is more carefree, more uninhibited, and more content with his bad behavior...
Shaking his head to dispel the strange thoughts in his heart, He Mengxue and Chen Yan clinked their glasses and started drinking.
While drinking, Chen Yan was not idle either.
He continued with the original plan and made some attempts on He Mengxue.
I learned in detail about He Mengxue's views on the investment company and her dreams.
After confirming many times that He Mengxue's dream and career path should be: starting a business and corporate development, Chen Yan roughly made his own judgment in his mind.
This meal was a little turbulent at the beginning.
But later on, because the atmosphere between the two of them was very good, they had a very pleasant meal.
After the meal, He Mengxue was so drunk that she was a little staggering.
Seeing this, Chen Yan did not let her go home alone, but simply took her to his presidential suite to rest for a night.
There are many rooms in the presidential suite.
And the waiter comes to clean up every day.
The rooms are ready for immediate check-in.
So, after Chen Yan brought He Mengxue to the suite, he found a room for her and carried her in.
He Mengxue has a small frame and feels light when held.
After Chen Yan carried her to the bed, he took off her shoes and outer clothes, wanting her to have a better rest.
Originally, after finishing all this, Chen Yan wanted to go back and rest.
But then he thought of the last time he drank too much and how He Mengxue had taken care of him.
When the time came, Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then went to the bathroom to get a towel, wet it, and came back, holding He Mengxue up and helped her wipe her face.
While wiping her face, He Mengxue seemed to be a little more sober.
So she gently stretched out her fair arms, hugged Chen Yan's neck, and said drunkenly, "Chen Yan, I like you..."
Afterwards, he rubbed against Chen Yan.
Chen Yan smiled and tapped her little head, took her hand away, and stuffed it into the quilt.
Then, Chen Yan rolled up the quilt for her and tucked in the corners.
Then he folded her coat and put it on the bedside.
Only then did he leave He Mengxue's room.
After Chen Yan left, the room fell into a long silence.
I don’t know how long it took.
He Mengxue's eyes opened.
She looked at the door with grievance. He didn't look drunk at all.
Afterwards, she stretched out her hand and tried to get out from under the quilt, but found that Chen Yan had rolled it up too tightly and she couldn't get out at all.
Suddenly, He Mengxue became a little anxious.
She drank some wine, and her stomach is full of water. If it doesn't come out overnight...
How embarrassing...
…
At this time, Chen Yan was sitting in the living room of the presidential suite, but he didn't know anything about He Mengxue.
He took out his phone and opened the game .
After a night of verification, he was sure to choose He Mengxue as his fourth Yunyang girlfriend.
Therefore, he planned to turn He Mengxue into his fourth girlfriend now.
After all, apart from career matters, he was also very curious about girls like He Mengxue who had a strong liking for him.
Once you are chosen to become the cloud-raised girlfriend, how much will your favorability level be?
What wonderful changes will happen.
