Chapter 523 Andy's confession was rejected
The decisive side of her character prevailed at this time, so as soon as the car stopped and Chen An had not yet gotten out, Andy grabbed her.
"Xiao Chen, there are some things I must make clear to you."
Chen An sighed and closed the car door. "You said..."
"Xiao Chen, I have never been in a relationship before, and I don't dare to be in a relationship, but after spending some time together, I feel like I have fallen in love with you."
"Andy, thank you for liking me, but..."
Andy thought Chen An was going to refuse, so he stared into Chen An's eyes and said, "Look at me, do you dare to say that you don't like me in your heart?"
"I..." Chen An looked embarrassed, lowered his head and said nothing.
Andy's tone softened, and he held Chen An's hand and explained, "Xiao Chen, no one knows my situation better than you. In fact, I have decided not to have children in the future. I don't want my child to suffer the same pain as me, and I don't want her to be as frightened as I am."
"Besides, I won't affect your relationship with other women, nor will I compete for anything. I just want to find someone I can trust and try the taste of love. Don't you want to do that?"
Chen An didn't expect that his clumsy operations would turn Andy into this state, but he was also very surprised. He didn't expect that after guiding for so long, he finally saw the effect.
In the original drama, Andy was able to take the initiative to propose to Singularity, so there was nothing abnormal about him proposing to her.
However, in Chen An's opinion, now is not the best time to accept Andy. After all, her favorability is only 90 points. Even if he becomes her man, based on past experience, the favorability will at most be points.
Andy will help me in my future career, I must make sure everything goes well...
"I knew this would be the result." Chen An held Andy's hand in his, looking into her eyes with a serious expression, "I like this about you, and I have never denied it. I also admit that I have some concerns, but this concern is not about Xiao Ming, nor the child, and not even about you affecting my relationship with my other girlfriend."
Andy became more and more confused, "What on earth is that for?"
"Andy, love is always selfish, and I'm just a playboy."
"I know all this, I don't ask for that..."
"Remember you told me before that Guan Guan burst into tears at the mere words of Xiao Qu? You should have also seen Qiu Yingying's reaction after she broke up, right?"
"These are my real concerns. Medical science is developing so fast now. Maybe in the near future, you and Xiao Ming's diseases will be cured, and you can get married and have children like normal people..."
"I don't want you to get sick early because of your mood swings because of me. Instead of that, I would rather we are just friends and partners. I can take care of you when you need me. That's enough."
Chen An's words successfully moved Andy to tears. He held Chen An's hand tightly and said firmly,
"Xiao Chen, you said the near future. How long is this future? Wan't I have to wait until I am old and ugly, and there is no cure. Am I going to waste half my life and never be a real woman?"
"I believe in you. No matter what I become in the future, you can take good care of Xiao Ming and me and let us live a decent life. I believe in you. I am not afraid. Really..."
Damn it! Chen An looked at Andy’s favorability and it jumped directly to 88. He almost couldn’t help it, but at the critical moment, he still restrained his impulse.
Reaching out and gently touching Andy's face, Chen An said in a gentle tone, "I understand your feelings, just don't make it difficult for me. I like the way you are now, so even if there is a little risk, I won't do it..."
Just as Andy was about to open her mouth to say something, Chen An reached out and gently pressed his hand on her lips, looked into her eyes and asked, "Are you really sure that you are ready? You won't be jealous because I am with other women, or even share my love with other women, or even..."
Hearing Chen An's words, Andy couldn't help but blush. What was this little rascal talking about? He actually wanted me to do that with another woman. It was too...
The goal was achieved. For Andy, a virgin, these words would definitely make her shy and hesitant, which was expected.
"Look, you hesitated, which proves that you are not ready yet. Don't think too much. I promise you that when you can really do it, I will not reject you again, okay?"
Andy was also a little confused. Was he really not prepared?
Chen An didn't give Andy a chance to think about it. He kissed her lightly on the lips and said with a smile, "Let's go and eat. My stomach is rumbling."
Andy nodded obediently and secretly made up his mind that his confession this time was not very successful because he was too hasty and did not prepare himself mentally. He would definitely succeed next time.
At this time in the restaurant, many people had finished their meal and left. The two found a seat and sat down, and Chen An began to talk about business.
"Sister Wei, the license issue will be settled in a few days at most. I will arrange for some simple cleaning, decoration, and purchasing. As for the recruitment, let Sister Wei take care of it. After all, the team will be centered around her in the future."
When talking about work, Andy's style immediately changed. "Of course, there is no problem with this. The acquisition of Red Star cannot be completed in one or two days. It will take at least a few months. But I can find some suitable projects to follow up."
"Have you found a suitable target?" Chen An was a little curious.
"I have done some research recently. In the past two years, many large domestic investors have set their sights on emerging Internet companies. These companies have something in common. They are closely related to life and follow the same routines. They spend a lot of money to expand their territory. The momentum of expansion is indeed very strong, and the valuations are rising very quickly."
“But these are not good news for us. After all, unless we are in the seed round or angel round, we simply cannot compete with those big capitals. We are at a disadvantage in terms of funding and connections.”
Chen An naturally understood this. "You are right. Although we have missed many opportunities now, there are still many better opportunities waiting for us. Only by accumulating capital quickly in the past few years and waiting for the trend to pass in a few years, will we have enough confidence to cope with the changes in the market."
Andy understood what Chen An meant. After all, the market is not static. It’s just that he hasn’t found a suitable place to start at the moment.
These naturally do not pose a problem for Chen An, although he has no chance to invest in companies like Meituan, Ele.me, Didi Dache, and ByteDance at the moment.
However, right now, the short video industry is just starting out. Kuaishou just completed its angel round of financing last year and is preparing for the next round. Chen An has the confidence to get on board this round.
Xiaohongshu also just completed its angel round at the beginning of the year. According to the money-burning rate of Internet companies, even if it does not raise funds today, it will definitely do so after the Chinese New Year. At this time, big capital has not yet set its sights on it, so it is a good opportunity for Xiaohongshu to pick up a bargain.
The gaming industry, live broadcast industry, and even audio platforms are all worth investing in, but this can wait. Right now, the most important thing for me is to make money...
I was indeed a bit negligent before. I was faced with many opportunities to make huge profits, but I couldn't get on board because of my lack of ability. It feels so bad.
Chen An told Andy about his discovery, and Andy immediately became interested and prepared to investigate further. These two companies...
When the food came, Chen An did not talk about work, but ate peacefully, feeding Andy from time to time, which always made Andy shy, and it was also a special feeling...
