My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 449: Man Man, Are You Pregnant? (Requesting Monthly Pass!)

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Man Man, Are You Pregnant? (Requesting Monthly Pass!)

In Lu Man’s heart, Chen Yan had always been her benefactor and her lover.

But... she also knew that Chen Yan’s favorite wasn’t her. It was some girl with big breasts. Humph.

So, whenever she faced Chen Yan, she couldn’t help but feel that he was holding back.

That was also the reason she occasionally acted up, pulling Chen Yan into all kinds of odd and even role-playing antics.

Because only by assuming a different identity could she realize that Chen Yan, in that moment... belonged entirely to her.

This also led to her never harboring much expectation toward Chen Yan.

She simply saw Chen Yan as a romantic partner.

The kind who might just pass through her life, who she might recall years later with a smile curving her lips and her gaze filled with nostalgia...

So when she asked Chen Yan that question just now, her heart already had the answer.

She knew that even the generous Chen Yan wouldn’t give her tens of billions.

Not just her.

Among the many wealthy people in the world, how many would willingly give their partner tens of billions in assets?

Money, to a certain extent, made these people’s emotions quite superficial; they knew that as long as they had money, they would always have power, and beauties at their disposal.

So... her questioning just now was purely to get under Chen Yan’s skin. She never actually thought he would agree.

But... Chen Yan gave her an unexpected answer.

Upon hearing Chen Yan’s agreement, Lu Man quickly started turning over her thoughts, wondering if she had gotten something wrong.

"Did I express myself incorrectly?"

"Or did he misunderstand?"

"Or does he think this is a joke?"

"Or perhaps..."

As she thought, Lu Man found herself wondering about something.

Her face flushed, she revealed her cute little canines and gave Chen Yan a fierce look, saying, "I don’t want those tens of billions! I’m talking about money! Money!"

At that moment, hearing Lu Man’s words, Chen Yan was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "What are you thinking?"

"Do you think I’m so shameless that when I joke with you, I make crude jokes?"

Hearing Chen Yan say this, Lu Man moved slightly, thinking... he had a point.

However... she still didn’t believe Chen Yan would just easily give her tens of billions.

So, she glanced at Chen Yan and said, "Don’t think I’m joking. I’m serious."

She proudly raised her head, "I don’t want your companies or tangible assets. I just want cash!"

She emphasized, "Tens of billions in cash."

Hearing Lu Man’s words, Chen Yan’s smile grew even brighter, he said, "It’s a deal."

"Whoever reneges, is a puppy!"

Saying this, Chen Yan picked up his phone and then made a call.

The call connected and a woman speaking English answered.

Chen Yan said, "Rose, it’s me. Prepare some cash for me."

"Yes. All the cash in my accounts."

"Twenty-three billion?"

At this, Chen Yan covered the phone, looked at Lu Man, and asked, "Is that enough?"

Lu Man truly hadn’t expected Chen Yan to agree. Her eyes widened slightly, and she numbly nodded.

Chen Yan removed his hand from the phone, then said, "That’s fine. Make an appointment for me."

"Okay. Thanks. I’ll give you the account tomorrow."

After finishing, Chen Yan hung up the phone.

Then he looked at Lu Man and asked, "Do you have an account at Hong Kong HSBC Bank?"

"Transferring such a large amount would be easier using an account in the same bank."

Hearing Chen Yan really preparing to transfer the money, Lu Man finally snapped back to reality.

Looking at Chen Yan with a face full of surprise, she incredulously asked, "Chen Yan. Are you really planning to give me that much money?"

Chen Yan nodded, "Yes."

Lu Man stared blankly at Chen Yan and then asked, "Twenty-three billion?"

Chen Yan nodded again, "Yes."

He still had an innocent look as he watched Lu Man, asking, "Is there a problem?"

"Didn’t I just agree to it?"

He pondered for a moment and then said, "Don’t think it’s too little."

"That’s the most cash I can put to use."

"It belongs to my private assets."

"The other money is all in the company’s accounts. If I move it without permission, it counts as embezzlement and is illegal."

"However, if you want. I can go with you in the next few days to handle the procedures. I can transfer the company to you."

"Just as long as you’re happy."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Lu Man was speechless for a moment.

Her gaze was turbulent, filled with complex emotions.

She lowered her head, wiped her hands, then lifted her face again, her eyes watery as she looked at Chen Yan and asked, "For my happiness, you are willing to give me everything?"

Chen Yan looked at her seriously and said, "Yes. As long as you are happy."

"Everything, I’m willing to give to you."

Lu Man looked at Chen Yan, then softly said, "You’re giving it directly to me."

"Not investing in me."

She seemed afraid that Chen Yan wouldn’t understand, she explained further, "Like the time you invested in a movie for me, or started the Sunrise project, although both involved spending money on me."

"But actually, that was just an investment."

"There’s a possibility of making money with investments. And even if they don’t make money, you can see the project’s results, or get some other forms of feedback."

"But this... you’re giving directly to me."

She looked at Chen Yan seriously, "Are you sure?"

Chen Yan placed his hands on her shoulders, then looked her in the eye with a serious tone, "Man Man. I understand business rules better than you. I also know more clearly than you what it means with what I am doing."

He continued, "Let me put it this way."

"If using all my wealth to exchange for your happiness, I am willingly content."

Hearing what Chen Yan said, Lu Man’s hands involuntarily tightened. Clearly, her emotions were incredibly complex.

Her voice trembled as she asked, "What about Qiao Qiao?"

"You have her aside from me, right?"

Chen Yan carelessly smiled, "She actually has no concept of money. The few hundred million I left for her are already more than enough for her to spend."

"As for the rest, if I run out of money, I can make it again."

"Given my abilities. Making another couple of tens of billions isn’t hard at all."

As Chen Yan spoke, Lu Man kept staring into his eyes, as if trying to see if he was lying.

Listening to Chen Yan, seeing the unwavering look in his eyes...

Lu Man gently placed her hand on Chen Yan’s chest, feeling his heartbeat.

Chen Yan’s heartbeat was slow and strong, not speeding up, no signs of abnormality.

So, this time, Lu Man finally felt somewhat assured that Chen Yan might... possibly... really be willing to give her all his wealth.

For a moment, she couldn’t quite describe her feelings.

Women are emotional.

She asked herself that if roles were reversed, she maybe... no, she definitely couldn’t do it as willing and freely as Chen Yan.

Moreover, she felt she wouldn’t even agree to such a completely unreasonable request.

This also made her feel, for the first time, how deeply Chen Yan indeed loved her...

Even to this moment, she couldn’t be sure whether Chen Yan was just humoring her, or if he genuinely felt this way.

But she felt that even if Chen Yan was humoring her, to be able to say these things, willing to appease her in such a way, she was completely satisfied and desired nothing more.

So, unable to control her emotions any longer, her tears "plop plop" fell down, like pearls striking her chest.

She called out with a sobbing voice, "Chen Yan..."

Then, pear blossoms heavy with rain, she threw herself into Chen Yan’s arms.

Chen Yan quickly stretched out his arms to embrace the adorable girl.

Then he held her in his embrace, gently stroking her back, and softly said, "Why are you crying?"

"Are you unhappy?"

Lu Man buried her head in Chen Yan’s chest, shook her head, and with a crying voice said, "Not at all."

"Just..."

"Just...."

She "just..." for a long time, unable to articulate her thoughts.

Chen Yan smiled and soothed her, comforting, "It’s alright. If you can’t say it, then don’t say it."

"Yes! Yes!" Lu Man vigorously nodded.

After a moment, she lifted her head and looked at Chen Yan, face red and teary, her voice soft as a mosquito’s, "Chen Yan... I still want those tens of billions..."

Chen Yan was momentarily puzzled, confusedly saying, "I’m giving it all to you."

Lu Man flirtatiously rolled her eyes at Chen Yan, then her hand reached downward, "I meant this..."

Chen Yan looked at her and instantly understood her meaning...

Then he smiled and scooped up Lu Man, then said, "Alright. Then I’ll give you another few tens of billions..."

Lu Man giggled and wrapped her arms around Chen Yan’s arm, calling out, "Brother-in-law~~ Sister Bai isn’t home. You can’t do this to me."

Chen Yan: ....

Here we go again!

"Xiao Qing! You demoness! See my Demon-Subduing Pestle!"

The room filled with the sound of Lu Man’s giggling...

.........

The next day at noon.

Lu Man was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing.

Groggy, she got up from the bed, stretching her hand to feel around her side.

Chen Yan was already gone.

She pouted, squinting sleepily, and then fumbled for her phone.

The phone was on the table.

Lu Man picked it up, glanced at it, and realized it was a call from Mei Li.

Holding the phone, she flopped back onto the pillow, and while picking it up, with the voice of someone waking up, murmured, "Hello? Sister. What’s up?"

The voice of Mei Li came through from the other end, full of surprise and urgency, "Man Man! Are you pregnant?!"

Mei Li’s words instantly woke Lu Man up!

Her eyes snapped open, then she abruptly sat up and asked, "Who told you that?!"

After speaking, she realized her slip of tongue, spat out a "Tch!," and corrected, "Who said that?!"

"I’m not!"

The words from Lu Man startled Mei Li, making her jump, almost thinking she really guessed it right.

Thus, it also resulted in Mei Li not believing Lu Man’s denial afterward.

She said, "Hold on. I’m coming over to your place now!"

After she finished speaking, she was silent for two seconds, and then said, "Are you at home? Or are you at a private hospital for a pregnancy preservation?"

Lu Man replied anxiously, "I’m not pregnant! What pregnancy am I preserving?"

"I’m at home! Hurry over!"

"What is all this?"

Hearing Lu Man’s roar, Mei Li decisively hung up the phone and then started rushing to Lu Man’s place.

At this moment, Lu Man was also sobered up incomparably by this matter.

She scratched her hair that Chen Yan had messed up the night before, then frowned and puffed her cheeks, muttering, "What do you mean I’m pregnant? What’s going on?"

Thinking of this, Lu Man suddenly got a shock.

She hurriedly picked up her phone and opened Weibo.

There were no hot searches about her on Weibo.

Lu Man then quickly opened Baidu and entered the keywords: Lu Man pregnant, and searched.

Luckily, there was still no news.

Lu Man sighed in relief.

She thought that a competitor had maliciously spread rumors, making it a hot search, or that it had been spread by many media, which is what had caused Mei Li to panic like this.

But now, seeing all around, there really wasn’t any news.

While Lu Man was relaxed, she was also a bit hesitant: Why did Mei Li suspect that she was pregnant?

While thinking, Lu Man got out of bed, then went to the bathroom, took a shower, and washed away the traces of last night with Chen Yan, feeling refreshed as she came downstairs.

Not long after she arrived downstairs, the doorbell of her villa rang.

Lu Man went to the door, looked through the door security to confirm it was Mei Li, and then opened the door.

Today, Mei Li looked indeed very anxious, walking swiftly and briskly.

She burst in, closed the door behind her, pulled Lu Man to the sofa, and said, "Man Man! Are you in some kind of trouble?"

Lu Man looked at Mei Li with a puzzled face and asked, "Sis, what trouble could I be in?"

"What exactly did you hear that made you so anxious? One moment you’re guessing I’m pregnant, the next you suspect I’m in some kind of trouble?"

Mei Li looked seriously at Lu Man, and seeing that indeed nothing was amiss on Lu Man’s face, her gaze turned complex as she opened her bag and took out a file folder, handing it to Lu Man.

Lu Man, puzzled, took it, opened it, and retrieved the documents inside.

There were several pieces of information, with a bank platinum VIP customer account opening guide on top.

The process looked very convenient, requiring just a phone call for a designated person to come over and deal with it.

The second document detailed the benefits enjoyed by platinum VIP customers, including the selected dedicated customer manager.

Following documents were also about some of the bank’s financial or investment benefits and introductions.

Lu Man had a face full of question marks, not understanding what these documents were.

It wasn’t until she turned to the last page that she found a large internal transfer check.

The issuing bank was HSBC, the check amount was 2.3 billion, and it was made out to Lu Man.

Seeing this check, Lu Man was stunned.

Then, she remembered everything she and Chen Yan had talked about in the office the day before.

She found it a bit hard to believe:

’Has Chen Yan really fulfilled his promise and given me the money?’

’Is he really not just placating me?’

With these thoughts, she inadvertently looked towards Mei Li.

Mei Li also looked at her. Then, with a serious expression, she nodded, "I called to verify. This is indeed the dedicated hotline for HSBC’s platinum customers." freewёbnoνel.com

"They promised that you can call them anytime, including at 3 AM."

"They will also come to you immediately to handle the related business."

"And I also checked this check. It’s real."

"But the bank said, although it’s real, the check is only symbolic. The operations are all completed in the background."

"So, as long as you nod now. The 2.3 billion is yours."

Saying this, Mei Li once again turned serious, "So... Man Man. Are you pregnant?"

Lu Man looked at Mei Li and couldn’t help asking, "Sis, why do you think I’m pregnant?"

Mei Li tapped on the check in Lu Man’s hand and then said, "If you weren’t pregnant, why would Chen Yan give you so much money?"

Lu Man opened her mouth.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to explain.

Was she supposed to say... I just went to get jealous, coquettishly sought his attention.

And as a result, he gave me 2 billion...

Who would believe that!

And seeing Lu Man speechless, Mei Li felt her guess was validated once again.

She sighed deeply and said, "I kept telling you to take care of your health, take care of your health."

"Yet, you still ended up making a baby."

"Ah..."

She said, "I should be scolding you from a manager’s perspective."

"But..."

She glanced at that string of zeros on the check and said, "Chen Yan gave too much."

"I think even if you were a top-line actress for twenty years, you probably couldn’t earn that much."

"So..."

Mei Li patted Lu Man’s shoulder and said, "I’ll arrange your schedule for the next while to ensure you can have the baby smoothly."

"As for your situation with Chen Yan, I can’t handle that. You deal with it yourself."

She looked at Lu Man affectionately and said, "I shouldn’t say this, but I still hope you can have what other girls have."

"You can marry into their family in glory."

"And grow old with him."

"If it could be like that, even if you’re no longer a celebrity, I think it would still be a good thing."

Hearing Mei Li even mention exiting the industry, Lu Man finally reacted.

She said, "What! Sis! It’s not like what you think!"

At this point, Lu Man couldn’t keep it hidden anymore.

So she simply told Mei Li everything about yesterday.

And when Mei Li heard that Chen Yan, to keep Lu Man from being jealous, directly offered Lu Man 20 billion yuan and, to make Lu Man happy, Chen Yan was willing to give her all his fortune and leave himself with nothing...

Mei Li was completely stunned.

She felt her brain had frozen, unable to recover.

After a moment, she took out her phone and quickly typed a few words.

Curiously, Lu Man asked, "Sis, what are you doing?"

Mei Li coughed and said, "I’m checking if our country’s exchange rate has plummeted. Fallen to Zimbabwean dollars."

Lu Man: ...

After checking, Mei Li incredulously said, "No. Our country’s exchange rate is very stable. The money is still the same..."

She looked at the check again and then looked up at Lu Man and said, "So..."

"Does Chen Yan really love you that much?"

Her words were full of doubt.

Obviously, knowing about Chen Yan being flirtatious and ambiguous with several girls, she didn’t quite believe that Chen Yan could love Lu Man that much.

Lu Man looked at her, not knowing how to respond.

Mei Lin again answered her own question, "Although giving money can’t prove that a man definitely loves you."

"But... if it’s 2 billion, I think... it actually can prove it."
