My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 140: Social Death!

Chen Yan quickly checked his WeChat chat history and call logs.

Then he realized that since 2 p.m., Lu Man had been trying to contact him continuously.

At first, she called him, then she sent WeChat messages.

Initially, her tone was very "irritable" and "unfriendly."

But as time went by, it gradually became calmer and calmer.

Until the last one, Lu Man’s attitude had completely softened, even with a bit of coquetry.

This left Chen Yan, who had never experienced a girl’s temper before, somewhat puzzled: Is this how all girls are?

They start off anxious and gradually become nicer when they realize they’re being ignored?

So strange.

However, it wasn’t that Chen Yan was intentionally standing Lu Man up or had his phone on silent on purpose.

Yang Rou was one of the two top-rated headhunters, and Chen Yan had seen her resume and was very interested in her, knowing she was a real big shot.

Facing such a person, Chen Yan definitely wanted to show enough respect, which is why his phone was on silent throughout the conversation. That’s why he missed Lu Man’s messages.

Looking at the time, it was already past 6 p.m., and Chen Yan sent a voice call to Lu Man.

The voice call got through, and Lu Man’s lazy voice came from the other end, "Boss~ are you taking revenge on me?"

Chen Yan went "Ah?" in confusion, not understanding why he would want to take revenge on Lu Man.

But Lu Man kept talking to herself, "Wasn’t it just the other night on our date that I made you wait for forty minutes? Did you have to stand me up for four hours today?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment.

He tried to hold back, but couldn’t.

He corrected her, "It was forty-five minutes."

Lu Man on the other end of the phone: ??

Chen Yan coughed and explained, "I really wasn’t seeking revenge. I just happened to have something important this afternoon."

Lu Man responded with a lazy "Oh?" It sounded like she was acknowledging, and it also seemed she was signaling Chen Yan to continue.

In Chen Yan’s mind, he could even picture Lu Man lying on the bed in a black silk pajamas, her slender figure poking at her nails with one hand while on the phone in a languid manner.

He said, "Do you know Yang Rou?"

Lu Man replied, "I don’t know her."

Chen Yan: ...

"Anyway, she’s a top-tier producer in the entertainment industry, and she will most likely join our company."

Lu Man "Oh" again, then casually brushed off the topic, "So, can we go to see the house now?"

Chen Yan looked at the time and said, "Sure. I’ll come to find you now, we can have dinner first, and then go to see the house."

Lu Man yawned and refused, "No need to eat. It’s too late now. Let’s just order takeout when we get to the new house."

Chen Yan pondered for a moment.

He really wasn’t someone who cared about a few hundred fortune points anymore, so he agreed.

Ten minutes later, Chen Yan arrived at the lobby of Lu Man’s hotel.

He didn’t have to wait long. Almost as soon as he arrived, Lu Man was there too.

Today, Lu Man’s style was different from usual. She was dressed in sportswear, with a ponytail that gave her less of her cold and stunning look and more of a sporty beauty vibe.

Unfortunately, just like always, to avoid recognition, she wore sunglasses and a mask, which covered her beauty.

On the way, Chen Yan curiously asked her, "Don’t you need to maintain your public image?"

Lu Man said, "Of course, I do."

Chen Yan, "Then..."

Lu Man replied, "This is private now."

"Besides... if I were to maintain that cold image while going to look at houses, it’d draw too much attention."

Chen Yan looked at her skeptically and said, "Speak human."

Lu Man pushed down her sunglasses revealing her pretty eyes, stuck out her tongue playfully, and said, "Actually, I drank some Red Wine and took a bath this afternoon when I couldn’t reach you, and then I fell asleep. I just woke up and feel a bit off."

Chen Yan: ...

That explained why she changed her tone so drastically—it turned out she "released" herself.

It almost made him think that girls would just calm down on their own if you let them be.

Lucky he found out in time, otherwise, if he tried this "trick" in the future, he could very well end up turning things from warm to cold.

Following the navigation, they arrived at the entrance to the villa area. Chen Yan took out an access card from his bag and opened the gate.

Though Chen Yan’s actions were normal, as they entered the gate, they were still stopped by the young guard in the security booth.

The guard was a responsible man in his twenties who perhaps hadn’t seen Chen Yan before, so he checked Chen Yan’s information.

After confirming Chen Yan as a homeowner, he even honestly smiled and said, "Mr. Chen. Please understand. Since you’re a new face around here, we need to be cautious."

Chen Yan didn’t mind, "No problem. It’s reassuring for us homeowners if you guys are doing your jobs."

The guard smiled, "Thank you for your support!"

Lu Man stayed beside Chen Yan the whole time without saying a word.

Only after walking into the villa area did she ask curiously, "Mei Li just mentioned this is your spare house, so you never actually lived here?"

Chen Yan, continuing the "script" provided by the system, said, "Right. I’ve never lived here."

"Actually... I’ve only recently bought the house."

"I just bought it not long ago because I came to see it twice and really liked it. The owner was moving abroad and lowered the price, so I bought it."

Lu Man nodded in understanding and continued, "So it should be nicely decorated, right?"

Chen Yan didn’t actually know what the interior looked like, but he remembered the game prompt said "luxury decoration," so he hummed, "Yes, it’s quite nice."

As they approached Chen Yan’s villa, it looked pretty good on the outside—a modern small villa with a garden.

Because real estate in the Laohai District was incredibly valuable, the villa itself was not large, only three stories plus one basement level.

Walking in through the main door of the villa, Lu Man took off her sunglasses and mask, curiously looking around the yard of the villa.

It was obvious that the yard had been well-maintained. The lawn was neat, and the sides were full of flowers, looking quite beautiful.

While she was looking around, Chen Yan walked up to the front door and used the key to unlock it.

Seeing this, Lu Man also came over to his side.

Because it was evening, the house was pitch dark, and not much could be seen clearly. Chen Yan fumbled around for a while before finding the light switch.

With a "click," he turned on the light, and the entire first floor of the villa lit up.

Chen Yan had originally planned to improvise, giving Lu Man a tour as he turned on the lights.

But... the moment the light was turned on, both he and Lu Man were completely dumbfounded.

The entire villa was decorated extremely... feminine.

Not only were the walls predominantly pink, but other bright colors were also mixed in, and even the curtains had lace, polka dots, and other feminine decorations.

Even more exaggerated was the living room’s chandelier, which was made up of bunches of hearts, sparkling brightly.

The whole villa looked like a pink castle belonging to a girl.

Looking at the decorations of the villa, both were stunned for a moment.

After a while, Lu Man couldn’t help recalling Chen Yan’s earlier comments such as "I quite like this house" and "the decoration is quite nice."

She looked at Chen Yan, then covered her mouth and snickered.

Chen Yan: ...

Chen Yan had only one thought in his mind: he wanted to rip this damn game apart!

Was it playing with him?!

Was it playing with him?!

Giving him a villa worth fifteen million with such decorations?!

How could he live there?

This must have been prepared for the two Virtual Girlfriends!

This... lousy game.

Watching the embarrassing scene before him and hearing Lu Man’s unstoppable laughter, Chen Yan also recalled the words he had praised the house with on the road earlier.

For a moment, his face was full of embarrassment.

What to do now?

His reputation was about to be affected...

If Lu Man spread around that he liked this cutesy style, wouldn’t he be socially dead on a large scale?

Just as Chen Yan’s mind was racing to find an excuse to brush this matter off, suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the calendar on the wall out of the corner of his eye.

That instant, he was stunned for a moment. Then, after pondering thoughtfully for a while...

Chen Yan had a plan in mind.

He cleared his throat and with a "strange" look in his eyes, he turned to Lu Man and asked back, "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Man was already holding her stomach with laughter.

"Ha ha ha, ha ha."

Chen Yan: ...

Chen Yan continued his act, "Don’t you think this decoration looks nice?"

"Ha ha ha!" Lu Man laughed even louder upon hearing that.

This time, Chen Yan didn’t stop her, just watching her, his gaze filled with "confusion."

After a while, Lu Man eventually quieted her laughter, but the amusement around the corners of her mouth was impossible to contain.

She hummed with her eyes smiling, "Actually, it’s quite nice."

After saying that, she looked at Chen Yan, then at the decorations in the house, and wanted to laugh again, "It’s just.... It’s just... is this perhaps..."

However, before she could finish her sentence, Chen Yan said, "Hmm. As long as you think it’s nice, that’s good. At least, I didn’t let my hard work go in vain."

Lu Man’s smile froze on her face.

She looked at Chen Yan, puzzled.

Then she saw Chen Yan smile and spread his arms wide, embracing the whole villa hall as he said, "After all, this is the villa I specially chose for you."

Lu Man: ??

What??

Lu Man’s smile completely faded.

She looked at Chen Yan in shock, her face showing disbelief.

Chen Yan turned his head to her with a smile, "What? Don’t believe me?"

If it were someone else, even if they didn’t believe it, they would probably hesitate.

But who was Lu Man?

She nodded rapidly!

It was clear that she didn’t believe him at all.

Chen Yan took out the property deed from his backpack and handed it to Lu Man.

Lu Man took the property deed in a daze, a little unsure of what Chen Yan was doing...

Chen Yan gestured with his hand, "Look at the date."

Lu Man flipped to the first page of the property deed somewhat blankly.

On the bottom right corner of the first page was the seal and registration date from the land resources and house management bureau.

After checking the date, Lu Man continued to look puzzled as she raised her head, "Over half a month ago?"

Chen Yan nodded, "Exactly. To be precise, it’s a week after you came to Qin Island."

Lu Man stared at Chen Yan, her eyes getting wider and wider.
