Today was Saturday. At noon, Chu Chen's beautiful neighbor, Yan Luoshui, came over to his house to look after his Ragdoll cat, Baby.
"Look, Baby's starting to look like a ball."
Looking at the increasingly round Baby, Chu Chen couldn't help but comment.
"Is he fat?"
"I think Baby is still really skinny. Eat more, Baby."
Yan Luoshui said as she fed Baby some fish snacks.
Hearing this, Chu Chen was at a loss for words.
At this moment, Chu Chen's phone rang.
Chu Chen took a look at his phone, and it was his mom.
"Xiao Chen, what's with the five hundred thousand you sent?"
His mom's voice came through as he opened the phone.
"Mom, I got lucky with some stock trading and made a bit of money."
Chu Chen, of course, couldn't tell the truth, so he found an excuse.
His mom didn't understand stock trading; she only knew that it was very risky and subconsciously thought it was like gambling, dependent on luck.
After obtaining the tycoon system, he had arrangements to get his parents' jobs transferred to easier positions.
Although Chu Chen could easily give his parents billions and make their lives incredibly affluent,
he couldn't explain it, and his honest parents would definitely worry and overthink if they suddenly received such a large sum of money.
It was better to find them relaxing jobs so they could live comfortably and peacefully.
"Okay, I understand. You've made something of yourself."
After listening to Chu Chen, his mom said with satisfaction.
"By the way, Xiao Fan, your aunt introduced another potential girlfriend for you in Jiangzhou. It is said that she has a gentle personality and is very beautiful."
Finally, his mom added.
"What do you think, will you give it a try and go on another blind date?"
Hearing this, Chu Chen was even more speechless.
The last blind date arranged by the neighbor aunt was an experience he'd rather not recall.
This time, Chu Chen really didn't want to go.
"Mom, I don't want to go," Chu Chen resolutely said.
"Xiao Chen, just go one more time, the last time."
His mom didn't want to give up that easily; she was hoping to have a grandchild.
Hearing this, Chu Chen didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Mom, to be honest, I actually have a girlfriend."
In the end, to escape the blind date, Chu Chen had to use a kind lie to explain.
"What?"
On the other end of the call, his mom was incredibly surprised upon hearing this.
In the villa, as Yan Luoshui played with Baby, she felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
He actually has a girlfriend?
Why didn't she know about it?
"Who is she, what's her personality like, where is she from, what does her family do?"
His mom's curiosity was piqued, and she asked repeatedly.
"Um..."
Chu Chen fell into thought.
Soon, a light bulb went off in his head.
"She's a top-notch, wealthy, and beautiful woman who manages a company worth billions, serving as the CEO. I learned stock trading from her."
Chu Chen replied.
He suddenly felt this was a good opportunity.
This way, he could provide a reasonable explanation for his money——his girlfriend gave it to him.
So, Chu Chen fabricated such a girlfriend. As for the billion-dollar group, it was, of course, his Junlin Group.
Chu Chen even planned ahead, if his mom asked him to bring his girlfriend home, he would have his beautiful secretary, Mo Yuwan, play the role.
She really looked like a female CEO, both in temperament and other aspects.
And Chu Chen believed Mo Yuwan wouldn't refuse, as he was her boss, after all.
Nearby, after hearing Chu Chen's words, Yan Luoshui was stunned. She misunderstood.
Wealthy and beautiful?
Billion-dollar group?
Serving as a CEO?
Isn't that her?
Was Chu Chen telling his mom that she was his girlfriend?
Instantly, Yan Luoshui felt nervous, her face slightly flushed, and her heart beating faster.
If someone else had said this, she would definitely be angry, but hearing Chu Chen say it, she felt a bit excited instead.
What did Chu Chen mean?
Was he taking this opportunity to indirectly confess his feelings to her?
Thinking of this, Yan Luoshui grew even more nervous.
If that was the case, what should she do, accept it?
Should she agree right after Chu Chen hung up the phone, or should she think about it for a while before agreeing?
Besides the possibility of a confession, was it possible that Chu Chen was hinting at her to take the initiative and confess to him?
If that was the case, he must have feelings for her but was too shy to say it.
For a moment, Yan Luoshui's mind was a whirl of thoughts.
"That sounds nice, but why would a female CEO, a wealthy beauty, be with you?"
His mom asked in confusion.
"Why do you think? Because your son is handsome?"
Chu Chen shrugged and replied.
Nearby, hearing Chu Chen say this, Yan Luoshui secretly glanced at him.
Handsome, Chu Chen was indeed getting more handsome, and he had a certain indescribable aura, much like the top-tier rich men she had encountered before.
"Alright."
His mom expressed her deep suspicion.
"How about this, find an opportunity to bring that girl home to let your dad and me take a look, and get some advice."
"Also, let those relatives see that my son has made it and found a wealthy, beautiful girlfriend."
His mom said, still worried.
"Okay."
Chu Chen was annoyed that his mom doubted his looks and charm.
Finally, after his mom's multiple reminders to take care of himself, especially when alone, the call ended.
As Chu Chen hung up the phone, Yan Luoshui walked toward him.
At this moment, Yan Luoshui's expression was odd.
"What's wrong with you?"
Chu Chen was puzzled since she was fine just now.
Could she be feeling unwell?
"Drink more hot water and get some rest," Chu Chen kindly suggested.
"Ok."
Hearing the suggestion to drink more hot water, Yan Luoshui didn't get mad. Instead, she felt somewhat emotional. Chu Chen was showing concern for her.
When a handsome guy suggested drinking more hot water, how could that be called being blunt?
That's caring!
"Chu Chen, I haven't made up my mind yet. Let me think about it."
Yan Luoshui felt everything was too sudden and caught her off guard. So, she softly said this and hurriedly left.
Watching Yan Luoshui "escape," Chu Chen was stunned. What was going on?
He couldn't understand women's thoughts, as he was a straightforward, earnest man.
Just then, Chu Chen received a call from a friend.
"What? I'll be right there."
Chu Chen nodded, then immediately drove the Koenigsegg to the hospital.
It turned out that last night, his friend's dad had a car accident. Since their hometown had poor medical facilities, he was transferred to nearby Jiangzhou.
Due to the high surgery costs, his friend's family was desperate. In the end, his friend had no choice but to call Chu Chen.
