My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 148 Which One Will You Choose?

Hearing Chen Yan’s question, Yu Qiao Qiao remembered that she had approached him on her own initiative.

She said, "Oh, right. I remember now. I was looking for you to ask, what do you want for dinner?"

Reminded by Yu Qiao Qiao, Chen Yan checked the time and realized it was already 6 PM. It was time for dinner.

He glanced at Yu Qiao Qiao, then at Lu Man, pondering.

Hey...it just so happens both "Virtual Girlfriends" are here.

Should he test his theory?

Chen Yan had always suspected that maintaining two virtual girlfriends together might yield some extra bonuses and rewards.

But the few times he had eaten with Yu Qiao Qiao and Lu Man, he hadn’t triggered any bonuses. It had all been a normal 10x boost.

This made him doubt his own judgment.

But later, Chen Yan reviewed the situations when he had fed them.

He discovered... it seemed like every time he ate with both virtual girlfriends, there were outsiders present.

He suspected... maybe this kind of bonus could only be triggered when no outsiders were around.

Today, there were no outsiders, so it was a good opportunity to test this theory.

So, he smiled and said, "I’ve finished everything for today! Let’s all go out to eat together! My treat."

Yu Qiao Qiao looked at Lu Man and said, "I’m fine with it. What about you, Sister Man Man?"

Lu Man gave her a complicated look and said, "I’m okay too."

With both virtual girlfriends agreeing, things were simple.

After greeting Cheng Tianxiang and the Fat Phoenix and reminding them to order meals for the employees, Chen Yan left the company with the two girls.

Once they stepped out of the office, Lu Man put on her sunglasses and mask, which made it impossible to recognize her or see her expression.

As for Yu Qiao Qiao, she still wore that obedient look, following beside Lu Man.

Since he took up Yu Qiao Qiao, the little foodie as his virtual girlfriend, Chen Yan actually did some research on nearby dining places. This made him well acquainted with the good eating spots nearby.

So he thought for a moment, took out his phone, and made several calls to book a Hunan restaurant that had a nice taste and private rooms.

Since the restaurant wasn’t far from the office, the three of them walked there.

But as they walked, Chen Yan kept feeling something was off.

Perhaps it was because Chen Yan had fallen behind to make calls, the two girls, walking ahead, were chatting quietly. And when Chen Yan finished his calls and went to join their conversation, he realized that the girls were ignoring him.

Chen Yan walked alongside, eavesdropping on the girls’ conversation.

Lu Man said, "Qiao Qiao, have you decided on the days for your vacation?"

Lu Man, over 1.70 meters tall, wearing high heels, pushing her close to 1.78 meters, stood tall and slender. Yu Qiao Qiao, not even reaching 1.60 meters, wearing flat shoes, walked beside her like a child.

She looked up slightly at Lu Man and said, "Sister Man Man, we still have a few days until vacation. But I finish my exams next Friday and can leave school then."

Lu Man nodded, her voice muffled by the mask, "Then, shall I help you move your stuff on Friday?"

Yu Qiao Qiao quietly said, "I don’t actually have much stuff. Just a few clothes and toiletries are enough."

Chen Yan listened curiously and asked, "Where are you moving to, Qiao Qiao?"

Yu Qiao Qiao glanced at Lu Man; seeing that she didn’t object, she said, "Sister Man Man invited me to live with her during the vacation."

Chen Yan was stunned.

Boss Qiao Qiao and Lu Man are going to live together?

This...

It always feels like something is about to happen.

Chen Yan looked at Lu Man.

Lu Man was fully armored, making it impossible to read her expression, but Chen Yan felt something was off.

Upon arriving at the restaurant room, letting the girls enter first, Chen Yan ordered the meals, then joined them inside.

After entering the room, Chen Yan was even more convinced of his feeling.

Even with no outsiders around, in the room, Lu Man still acted a bit weird. Still maintaining a cool demeanor, her face wore a formulaic smile, and her speech seemed emotionless.

If not for seeing her voluntarily pour water for Yu Qiao Qiao, Chen Yan might have thought she... had a feud with Yu Qiao Qiao.

What’s going on here?

Why is Lu Man’s expression so different from when she first entered the office?

Could it be because of what happened in the office?

Thinking this, Chen Yan took the seat of honor, turned to Lu Man sitting next to Yu Qiao Qiao, and tentatively asked, "Man Man, are you okay?"

Lu Man paused, glanced at him as if just realizing something, and quickly shook her head, giving a formulaic smile, "I’m fine."

Saying that, she glanced at the doorway, ensuring no one came in, then playfully waved her hand, "Persona, persona."

After that, she switched back, resuming her aloof demeanor.

Chen Yan blinked.

Something’s off.

Definitely off. ƒreewebɳovel.com

This girl has switched personas before, but never as smoothly as today.

Her acting isn’t that good!

With this, Chen Yan didn’t hesitate to use his last "Inner Heart Headphones" chance of the day on Lu Man.

The surrounding noises gradually faded, and soon, Chen Yan could only hear a slow heartbeat, "thump... thump... thump..." in his ears.

Chen Yan looked at Lu Man, and her inner voice slowly emerged,

"Sigh..."

A long sigh.

Chen Yan quietly waited for Lu Man to speak.

Then...

"..."

"..."

The voice slowly faded away.

Chen Yan stared blankly at Lu Man.

Chen Yan: ??

That’s it?

Just a sigh! Then quiet for over ten seconds?

Is her brain blank?

Is such a comic thought process so bizarre?

No... this isn’t just bizarre anymore.

Chen Yan looked at Lu Man; Lu Man hadn’t noticed him, just kept her cool attitude, lost in her thoughts.

Chen Yan felt even more suspicious.

The atmosphere during the meal remained a bit odd.

Chen Yan always wanted to strike up a conversation with the two girlfriends, but only Yu Qiao Qiao, with those big doe eyes, looked at Chen Yan and chatted quietly.

Lu Man, meanwhile, was immersed in her own world, maintaining her aloof, unapproachable demeanor as if cementing her persona.

Thus, the meal ended, they paid the bill, and all three came outside the restaurant.

Chen Yan checked the time, and it was just past 7 PM, but given the weird atmosphere, the longer they stayed, the more uneasy it felt.

So he said, "It’s getting late. Let me drive you home."

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Lu Man reflexively looked at him and blurted out,

"Who exactly are you planning to drop off?"

After saying that, she paused for a moment, hesitation flickering in her eyes, but it quickly turned resolute.

She added somewhat gloomily,

"We don’t live together, nor is it on the way. You’re just one person, how can you drop off both of us?"

"Or else... you choose one to drop off."

Hearing Lu Man’s words, Chen Yan froze.

He looked at Lu Man; her sunglasses hid her expression.

Just then, Yu Qiao Qiao beside him whispered, "Chen Yan, you drop off Sister Man Man."

"It’s quite close to the school here. I can go back on my own."

Chen Yan turned to Yu Qiao Qiao, who was looking up at him with a smile.

Chen Yan’s heart clenched.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But just then, Lu Man said, "Qiao Qiao. It’s okay. The place I live is also quite close to here. I can go back on my own too."

Chen Yan looked up; though Lu Man was speaking to Yu Qiao Qiao, her gaze was on him.

Chen Yan’s heart sank.

If he didn’t realize there was a major problem by now, he would be a fool!

These two girls definitely sensed something!

Otherwise, they wouldn’t say this! They wouldn’t make him choose now!

Hmm... even if Boss Qiao Qiao might not have thought about this deeply, Lu Man definitely did. Because she was looking too serious.

But... how should he respond?

Two virtual girlfriends, both officially appointed by the game.

One is Boss Qiao Qiao, who has been doting on him all the way to today.

The other is... Lu Man, who literally holds his future.

This...

Chen Yan’s mind raced, feeling like he was facing a deadly question.

And it’s such that no matter which answer he chooses, it would be deadly.

In this situation, how should he choose?

Chen Yan looked at Lu Man, then at Yu Qiao Qiao.

Suddenly... a lightbulb went off.

Hey... seems like there’s a temporary workaround!

Though not a permanent fix, if he could get past this situation now, at least he would have time to figure out a solution later!

Thinking this, he coughed and said, "Choosing her, choosing you, making it so estranged. We are all our own people."

"And... who says it’s not on the way? Who says I can’t drop off both of you in one go?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Lu Man crossed her arms, tilted her head, and gave him a look that said, "You spin your tale, go on spinning."

And Yu Qiao Qiao also timidly said, "Chen Yan, it really isn’t on the way. Sister Man Man goes east, I go north."

Chen Yan laughed, "Right. But... aren’t you moving into Sister Man Man’s place for the holidays?"

Yu Qiao Qiao paused, dumbfoundedly saying, "Right."

Chen Yan clapped his hands, "Right! See how coincidental it is! It’s just past 7 PM, still early. Let’s drop Sister Man Man off at her home first, then swing by her place to check it out, you can tour it, pick a room."

"After that, I’ll drop you back at school!"

"Isn’t this perfect for everyone?"

Lu Man stared at Chen Yan, her expression slowly solidifying, then looking dumbfounded. Her mouth opened and closed, unable to speak for a moment.

And Yu Qiao Qiao was also confused.

After a while, she smiled and said, "That makes sense!"

Then she looked at Lu Man and said, "Sister Man Man. Since it’s still early, let’s go and see your new house!"

Lu Man regained her composure, hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and nodded to Yu Qiao Qiao, "Alright."

Then she swept her gaze over Chen Yan, wrinkling her nose, and snorted, "You managed to spin that around. Pretty impressive."

Chen Yan, of course, knew what Lu Man meant. He chuckled, steering the conversation away, "Let’s go, let’s go. Let’s hurry and check out that villa."

Saying that, he praised Yu Qiao Qiao, "I’m telling you, that villa is really big and pretty. It’s just like a castle. Your Sister Man Man is like a princess in there."

Lu Man looked at Chen Yan, the corners of her lips twitching, itching to bite him.

How come I never realized before how shameless this guy is...

He’s determined to bluff his way through, isn’t he?
