My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 149: Pah, scum.

However...

I was also too impatient.

Earlier in the office, I suddenly realized how much Chen Yan cared about Qiao Qiao, and I couldn’t help myself—I pushed Chen Yan to make a decision hastily.

Looking back, it seemed that Qiao Qiao knew Chen Yan first.

From my few interactions with her, she had always seemed a bit fond of Chen Yan.

I remember her three classmates even mentioned that Chen Yan treated her differently, always surprising her with many gifts.

At the time, I didn’t pay much attention, so I didn’t take it to heart.

Now, it looks like I inadvertently wedged myself between them.

Thinking of this, Lu Man felt a bit guilty for a moment.

But suddenly, she froze.

That’s not right.

It wasn’t me who came between them. Chen Yan was the one flirting with me for no reason. Even today, he was the first to "make a move."

In that case...

Lu Man looked at Chen Yan walking ahead next to Yu Qiao Qiao, scoffed lightly, and said, "Pfft! Jerk!"

Chen Yan seemed to hear the sound behind him and curiously turned his head.

Lu Man quickly forced a smile.

Chen Yan looked puzzled for a moment, returned a faint smile, then looked left and right before aimlessly turning back around.

Lu Man let out a sigh of relief.

It’s not that she was two-faced, but Chen Yan was still her boss, and she didn’t dare provoke him.

She walked behind, occasionally kicking at stones while she continued to ponder.

Despite calling Chen Yan a "jerk,"

upon further thought, it seemed like Chen Yan and Qiao Qiao hadn’t officially defined their relationship, had they?

So his kindness towards me—could it be that he also has feelings for me?

Was his heart also hesitating about who to be with?

Thinking this, Lu Man felt like she somewhat "understood" Chen Yan’s heart.

With this thought, she looked at the two walking ahead. Her gaze fell on Yu Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao seemed really fond of Chen Yan, right?

If Chen Yan ultimately chose me, what would she do?

Lu Man felt everything was a complete mess.

It was definitely not something someone with her intelligence could sort out clearly.

Love triangles are just too melodramatic!

She shook her head and decided to cut through the chaos!

Forget it! No more thinking about it!

Just for Qiao Qiao’s sake! I’ll keep my distance from Chen Yan in the future!

Our relationship will just be as business partners!

Having made this decision, Lu Man suddenly felt a pang in her heart. Annoyed, she fiercely kicked a stone at her feet.

Little did she know, this stone wasn’t like the others—it was part of a raised section of the ground.

The moment her foot hit it, she felt a sharp pain in her toe, yelped, "Ow!" and almost fell to the ground.

Previously, after Chen Yan had awkwardly brushed the issue aside, he had been walking ahead with Yu Qiao Qiao. Obviously considering Lu Man’s off behavior, Chen Yan didn’t dare provoke her.

Even so, as he walked ahead, he was chatting with Yu Qiao Qiao while still paying attention to the sounds behind him.

Suddenly hearing Lu Man’s cry, he quickly turned around.

Then, he saw Lu Man holding her foot, inhaling sharply while hopping around.

Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao exchanged glances, rushed over, and supported Lu Man from either side.

"Man Man, what happened to you?"

"Sister Man Man, are you alright?"

While Lu Man continued to wince and say, "It’s alright, it’s alright. Just bumped my foot."

Hearing her say that, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao hurriedly helped her sit down.

After helping her sit, Chen Yan glanced at her, quickly undid her left high heel, and took it off.

Lu Man reached out to stop him but it was already too late. She could only bite her lip and look at Chen Yan with complicated eyes.

It was fortunate that Lu Man wasn’t wearing stockings today, making it more convenient.

Chen Yan placed her injured foot on his leg and examined it.

Under the dim light, Chen Yan saw that Lu Man’s big toe had reddened.

He gently touched it twice, asking, "Does it hurt?"

Lu Man took a sharp breath, took off her sunglasses, and glared at him, "What do you think? Are you dumb?"

Chen Yan chuckled awkwardly, then after checking, said, "It’s nothing serious. Just a bump."

Then, he gently massaged Lu Man’s foot, saying, "Why aren’t you more careful?"

Lu Man retorted, "Mind your own business! I’ll do what I want!"

If I weren’t frustrated with you, would I have accidentally kicked something?

Chen Yan stayed silent.

Chen Yan didn’t want to provoke this powder keg. After all, he was at fault...

Yu Qiao Qiao, watching the duo’s bickering, covered her mouth and giggled, "Sister Man Man, why are you always picking on Chen Yan?"

Yu Qiao Qiao’s comment made Lu Man also feel that she had gone too far.

But her temperament was not one to easily back down. She huffed at Chen Yan lightly and found an excuse, "Not really... just under a lot of pressure." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"He wants a box office of five hundred million and insists on dragging everyone along. I’ve been nearly dead from exhaustion recently."

Yu Qiao Qiao exclaimed "Oh," comforting her, "I understand, after all, you’re the female lead. It’s normal to be under pressure."

Lu Man nodded, feeling almost guilty for deceiving such a sweet girl like Qiao Qiao.

She avoided Yu Qiao Qiao’s gaze, looked at Chen Yan, who was gently massaging her toes, looking very serious and concerned.

The street lamp’s light quietly shone on him, making him look especially handsome.

In that instant, Lu Man’s heart skipped a beat.

But then, snapping back to reality, Lu Man remembered her resolution. She quickly endured the pain, decisively drew back her foot, and said, "Okay, okay! It’s fine now!"

Having said that, she hurriedly grabbed her high heel nearby, put on her shoe herself, and said, "It just hurt a bit from that one moment. It’s much better now."

"Let’s keep going!"

Yu Qiao Qiao asked with concern, "Sister Man Man, are you really okay? If it still hurts, you need to tell us."

Lu Man stood up, tested her foot—it was still a bit sore but bearable—and said, "I’m fine, I’m fine. Do I look like I’m not?"

She then walked a few steps in front of Yu Qiao Qiao, even turning in a circle.

Although Lu Man insisted she was fine, Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao were still worried.

Initially, they wanted to take Lu Man to the hospital to get checked, but Lu Man swore up and down that she was truly fine, so they had to let it go.

Later, they discussed and decided since Lu Man’s foot was injured, they should not walk but drive back instead. After all, the car was meant to be parked in Lu Man’s villa garage anyway.

Thus, the three of them returned to the company, went to the underground parking lot, and drove Yu Qiao Qiao’s Porsche out.

Among the three, Lu Man was injured, Yu Qiao Qiao had just passed her driving test, leaving only Chen Yan able to drive.

So, he drove, taking the two girls to Lu Man’s villa.

Arriving at the villa complex’s gate, they greeted the diligent security guard, registered the car plate for ease of future access, and Chen Yan led the two girls to the villa.

Getting off the car, Lu Man’s foot was almost fine.

Inside the villa, Lu Man switched out of her high heels, instantly turned into an excited Siberian Husky, and began showing Yu Qiao Qiao around the villa.

Obviously, she had thoroughly researched the villa over the past few days and couldn’t wait to share it with Yu Qiao Qiao.

Chen Yan, uninterested in the overly feminine villa, poured himself a glass of water on the first floor, sat on the sofa while quietly pondering his relationships with the two girls.

Strictly speaking, his relationship with these two girls began merely as a "business relationship."

He had selected them as Virtual Girlfriends in the game, so naturally, Chen Yan fostered them.

They didn’t know Chen Yan was their "virtual boyfriend," and Chen Yan couldn’t be bothered to let them know. After all, he just wanted to quietly support them, not seeking any reciprocation, only hoping for substantial cashback to fund his gaming.

Initially, everything was perfect.

But... humans have desires and emotions.

Day in and day out interacting with these two girls, seeing their silly, quirky, cute, or glamorous selves, Chen Yan inevitably started to feel something.

It wasn’t that his will was weak.

Keep in mind, these two girls weren’t randomly picked from the street.

Yu Qiao Qiao’s looks and personality were chosen by Chen Yan himself.

Lu Man was matched by the game as the one most compatible with him.

It could be said that one was Chen Yan’s ideal type, the other was his soulmate. How could Chen Yan not develop feelings from being with them every day?

The only problem was... he suddenly had feelings for both of them.

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Yan took small sips of water while sorting through his feelings for his two Virtual Girlfriends.

He felt that Boss Qiao Qiao, the first girl he became close with, was so pure, so kind, like an angel, making one want to protect her and unwilling to hurt her.

As for Lu Man...

Initially, Chen Yan didn’t really feel anything.

But as they spent time together, maybe it was her beautiful appearance, maybe her quirky humor, maybe the way she always got the better of him, or perhaps... it was because he overdid the "move" he played. Anyway... as soon as he saw her, he always wanted to tease her, or maybe get a bit closer.

Chen Yan didn’t want to give up on either of them.

Or maybe... even if he wanted to give up, it seemed like the game wouldn’t allow him to.

He couldn’t just waste his Golden Finger and quit the game, could he?

After making up his mind, Chen Yan set down his glass and began figuring out how to manage the relationship between the three of them.

And to manage the relationships among the three, Chen Yan’s first step would certainly be to fully understand the emotional changes of the two girls towards him.

With that in mind, he glanced upstairs.

The two girls were still chatting happily on the third floor. Feeling relieved, Chen Yan took out his phone, opened up the game, and checked.

Upon entering the game, the first prompt he saw was:

[Feeding both Virtual Girlfriends simultaneously triggers extra bonuses and hidden rewards.]

Chen Yan was pleasantly surprised.

His hunch was right—it was indeed possible to feed both!

Thinking this, he opened and checked the rewards.

[This feed will grant a 16x wealth value. The hidden reward is a random draw for a special item (limited to once per month).]
