My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 176 Why is the "Learning" a Bit Biased?

"Doot...doot...doot..."

After a moment, the call connected.

But Lu Man didn’t listen to the sound of the phone, instead, she pressed her ear against the bathroom door.

Through the phone’s earpiece, Chen Yan’s voice came, "What’s up? Missing me already?"

And outside the door... there was no sound at all.

Lu Man finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew~ Looks like he’s really gone."

After Chen Yan had left, Lu Man’s courage swelled significantly. She didn’t respond to his question, just swiftly "snap~" hung up the call.

Once she’d hung up, Lu Man still wasn’t satisfied, she made a face at her phone, "Nyeh nyeh nyeh~ As if I’d miss you~ Shameless~~"

After speaking, she waited a bit longer, then cautiously opened the bathroom door, looked both ways to make sure Chen Yan wasn’t blocking her exit, then tip-toed out quietly.

The room was empty, only the air still faintly carried the scent of their hormones.

Lu Man searched the house again, and after confirming there was no sign of Chen Yan, she finally relaxed completely.

Actually... she quite liked Chen Yan.

Even doing some embarrassing things or kissing, she didn’t dislike it.

In fact... sometimes she even looked forward to it.

Especially when Chen Yan forcefully pulled her into his arms, lifted her by the waist, or pressed her heavily beneath him, her heartbeat would race, her body went weak, and she wanted to fully enjoy that sensation.

But...

As much as she enjoyed it, when it came to taking that final step, Lu Man always felt... like they weren’t quite there yet.

She always thought that things were moving a bit too fast between them, and they need to wait a bit more.

That’s why she came up with a plan to distract Chen Yan and then ran off to the bathroom.

While wildly imagining all these things, Lu Man hopped onto the bed, lay on her back, gazed blankly at the ceiling, her mind a bit spaced out.

Probably because of how intensely their recent activities had affected her, those embarrassing images kept popping into her vision uncontrollably.

Her hand, without thinking, moved to her chest.

Faintly, it was as if she could still feel the warmth of Chen Yan’s hands...

After a moment, she grabbed her pillow, buried her face in it, and kicked her legs around, exclaiming, "Ah ah ah! I’m dying of embarrassment, dying of embarrassment!"

Her ears turned bright red, as if telling her owner’s shyness...

......

Meanwhile, Chen Yan, who had already left the hotel and was sitting in a taxi, looked at the pixelated image of Lu Man doing something cute on his phone and smiled.

This little girl, she actually enjoys it.

So her earlier escape was probably because her affection level hadn’t reached high enough.

Well, if he worked harder and increased her affection level a bit more, he should be able to go further, right?

With that thought, Chen Yan opened Lu Man’s affection level to check.

There wasn’t the usual array of positive and negative emotions affecting her affection level.

Just one entry:

[Intense Exercise: Affection +8]

Lu Man’s affection level was already high, reaching 150 points, and with those 8 added, it was just a step away from 160 points.

Chen Yan opened her "learning progress" again to check.

[Lu Man’s Available Positions]

Physical contact (unlocked),

Hugs (unlocked, learning progress 13%),

Holding hands (unlocked, not learned),

Kissing (unlocked, learning progress 34%),

Caressing (unlocked, learning progress 23%),

Under the clothes (unlocked, learning progress 10%)

Naked embrace (affection insufficient, not unlocked)...

Looking at this peculiar distribution of learning progress, Chen Yan felt like he’d... somewhat neglected certain areas.

Ahem, pure things like holding hands not even learned, hugging hardly progressed, but the other "messy" things, quite a bit had been learned. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Cough, no wonder Lu Man was cautious around him.

In the future, he ought to be a bit more pure towards her...

With that thought, Chen Yan paused.

Then he added: Well... occasionally.

Other times, just go with the flow...

Chen Yan didn’t know why.

Perhaps it’s because Lu Man was too gorgeous, or maybe it’s because this little fairy enjoyed flirting too much. Anyways, whenever he was around her, the flame in Chen Yan’s heart was always involuntarily ignited.

Just like today.

Actually, after arriving at the hotel, Chen Yan didn’t have any evil thoughts. But Lu Man kept flirting, and she riled him up.

Chen Yan always felt that, sooner or later, this girl would flirt too much and drag him along... cough cough cough.

...

Since it was already late, Chen Yan didn’t go back to the office and just took a taxi home.

Once at home, Chen Yan hummed a tune, made himself a meal that lacked in color, scent, and flavor, and somehow got through it.

.....

After embarrassing herself for a while on the bed, Lu Man also got hungry. She sent a message to her assistant Xiao Tao to prepare some food, then crawled out of bed.

Once up, she glanced around and realized her room was stuffed full of luxury goods worth millions.

For a moment, Lu Man found herself back in the scene where Chen Yan had taken her shopping in the afternoon.

After thinking, she jumped off the bed, ran on her bare little feet, "tap tap tap," to her desk, grabbed her bag, rummaged through it, and pulled out a bank card.

This card was the one Chen Yan gave her, the one "worth" 80 million.

Now, it probably still had over 76 million left.

But to Lu Man, there was no difference.

70 million or 80 million, what’s the difference?

Aren’t they both astronomical figures?

However, even if the card had so much money, Lu Man wasn’t too attached to it.

Looking at the card, what she thought was...

"Huh? Chen Yan didn’t take the card back?"

"But I’ve understood Chen Yan’s heart now, so I don’t really need this card anymore."

Lu Man nodded to herself, "Hmm... I should return it to him... I’ve already spent millions of his money, can’t spend any more. If I like another bag, I can earn and buy it myself."

But the thought of returning it to Chen Yan made Lu Man’s little nose crinkle,

"To return it, I’ll have to see him."

"I don’t really want to see Chen Yan, what should I do?"

Lu Man pouted, feeling a bit stuck...

....

Late at night.

In an upscale apartment near the Jinmao Building on Qin Island,

Yang Rou had just finished work not long before, sitting at the dining table continuing to handle work matters while chatting with her daughter.

"I talked to the boss today, and he agreed for you to intern at the company."

Yang Nuannuan wore a pair of glasses and was also sitting at the dining table, engrossed in her book.

Hearing what her mother said, she curiously lifted her head, adjusted her glasses, and asked, "Internship? Didn’t you say I was just keeping you company?"

Yang Rou, busy with work, answered without lifting her head, "The boss is very understanding and generous. He offered for you to intern and even get a salary."

Yang Nuannuan always had a warm smile on her face, making anyone who saw her feel at ease, "How much salary?"

Yang Rou said, "2000 for the base salary, plus performance bonus and reward."

"But..." she paused, looked up, "since you’re only coming for a month, there probably won’t be much performance or reward."

Yang Nuannuan nodded without much concern.

Even though she came from a single-parent home and grew up relying solely on Yang Rou, Yang Rou held a high position with a substantial income. Even if it meant being busier at work, she never shortchanged Yang Nuannuan.

With Yang Rou’s annual salary of over a million yuan, Yang Nuannuan’s pocket money was always in thousands.

So, 2000 yuan wasn’t a lot for her.

She was more curious about her mother’s boss, who she would work for in the coming month.

She looked at Yang Rou, tilted her head, and asked, "Mom~ what’s your new boss like?"

Her soft voice was slow and gentle, like the touch of soft gauze.

Yang Rou kept on working as she replied, "Someone with a good temperament, strong abilities, and seems capable of big things."

Yang Nuannuan was a bit surprised, "Mommy~ that’s high praise from you."

As Yang Rou’s daughter, Yang Nuannuan knew all too well how proud her mother was.

Over the years, not many have met her high standards.

Even Yang Rou’s previous bosses didn’t seem to earn her full respect, as Nuannuan could tell from certain details.

So, to suddenly hear such high praise of the new boss from Yang Rou truly surprised Nuannuan.

Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Yang Rou smiled rarely and stopped what she was doing to start telling Nuannuan about Chen Yan’s deeds during this time.

Listening to her boss’s confidence in hiring Yang Rou and then giving her complete control to assemble her team.

Listening to his logical staff list creation which even surpassed Yang Rou’s.

Listening to his magnanimity in ignoring office rumors.

Nuannuan became a bit absorbed as she listened.

The image of a mature, steady middle-aged man surfaced in her mind. Dressed in a business suit, well-mannered and cultured...

Nuannuan wondered.

It must be such business elite that could impress her proud mother, right?

For the first time in her life, Nuannuan, who had always idolized her mother, became curious about her mother’s new boss.

Who could it be, to deserve such accolades from her mother?

So curious.

...

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Chen Yan got up, freshened up, and walked leisurely to the company.

Arriving at the company, Chen Yan stayed in the hall for a while, chatted with a few new employees, inquired if they were getting accustomed to working at the company, then slowly made his way back to his general manager’s office.

Upon returning to his office, Chen Yan had barely sat down when he received a text message from Lu Man.
