My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 277

Hearing Brother Ying’s words, Zhao Ying nodded in satisfaction. "Right! I went and bought them. How about it? Am I not great at taking care of people?"

Chen Yan looked at Zhao Ying, smiled, and nodded. "Yes, quite good at taking care of people."

After speaking, Chen Yan checked the time and said, "Nuan Nuan is fine now. Shall we go?"

Zhao Ying nodded and replied, "Sure, let me just go and tell Nuan Nuan."

As she spoke, she moved past the table beside her and entered Yang Nuannuan’s room, apparently to say goodbye.

Meanwhile, Chen Yan’s gaze followed Zhao Ying’s figure into Yang Nuannuan’s room, and all the expressions on his face slowly faded away, looking somewhat gloomy...

Because... he seemed to have discovered something astonishing.

With the advanced "Inner Headphones" gadget, Chen Yan, of course, made good use of it.

Thus, earlier in Yang Nuannuan’s room, while Chen Yan was asking her some questions, he also turned on the "Inner Headphones."

Thereupon, standing at the door, he witnessed an incredible scene...

Yang Nuannuan, smiling gently, said to him, "No, President Chen. What’s wrong?"

"President Chen, don’t scare me. Is it something unclean?"

But what the "Inner Headphones" heard inside her mind was...

"Did Chen Yan notice something?"

"Also, last time he seemed to have noticed me watching him. He even came to the door to check."

"It looks like I have to be careful not to let him find out again."

Although there was nothing explosive in Yang Nuannuan’s inner thoughts... these thoughts, when combined with her sweet denial and gentle smile, indeed felt a bit eerie.

Especially the same voice but distinct words overlapping in Chen Yan’s ears...

The contrast immediately gave Chen Yan goosebumps.

Nevertheless, although Chen Yan knew the truth, he showed no anomalies and left the room without a trace.

Next, Chen Yan saw Zhao Ying plotting something wrong with the table. He then spoke up.

After hearing Zhao Ying deny having ever smashed the table before, Chen Yan was genuinely stunned.

Zhao Ying had never smashed the table?

How then, did she get the bump on her head?

Yang Nuannuan’s entire narration had been logically sound and very much in line with Brother Ying’s character, could it also be false?

Thinking of this, Chen Yan felt a bit lost and used the "Inner Headphones" to check again.

The result... Yang Nuannuan indeed lied to Chen Yan.

Although Chen Yan couldn’t understand the real truth from Brother Ying’s few inner thoughts, he heard "sincerity" and a "eagerness to try" concerning the table from Brother Ying’s inner thoughts.

So, Chen Yan further inquired about the breakfast matter.

This time, Chen Yan verified that Yang Nuannuan hadn’t lied.

But... discovering two secrets about Yang Nuannuan still surprised Chen Yan a bit.

He felt his impression of Yang Nuannuan was completely overturned in his heart.

This girl... appeared to not be as kind as she seemed on the surface, but a woman with deep schemes and ulterior motives!

Now, Chen Yan truly didn’t want to stay in Yang Nuannuan’s home any longer.

Thus, after Zhao Ying and Yang Nuannuan said goodbye, Chen Yan took Zhao Ying and left Yang Nuannuan’s home.

On the way, Chen Yan inquired about what happened with Zhao Ying that morning.

However, when it came to that morning’s events, Zhao Ying was evasive and hesitant, which was unlike her character.

Chen Yan felt... there must be something more to it.

But since he had already used the "Inner Headphones" twice today, Chen Yan couldn’t use it again and had to suppress his doubts for the time being.

After dropping off Zhao Ying, Chen Yan returned to the company.

Sitting in the CEO’s office, the more Chen Yan thought about it, the more it didn’t feel right.

Perhaps because he had finally unearthed "the wolf" in Yang Nuannuan, many previously overlooked or neglected details surfaced in Chen Yan’s mind.

Although after careful reflection, Chen Yan could not find any instance where Yang Nuannuan had harmed or threatened him.

However, the impact of her using that harmless-looking face to lie was considerably profound on him.

Even to the point that Chen Yan felt uneasy about Yang Rou.

After all, Yang Rou held a significant position in the company. If she had ulterior motives, the company would be in trouble.

So, over the next few days, Chen Yan no longer actively sought out Yang Nuannuan.

And when Yang Rou returned to Qin Island, Chen Yan summoned her to his office right away and probed her indirectly. Of course, he used the "Inner Headphones" again.

Luckily.

Yang Rou was utterly pure towards Chen Yan and the company. Throughout Chen Yan’s multiple tests, her inner thoughts were noble and without any scheming.

This relieved Chen Yan, but it made him more baffled about Yang Nuannuan...

What was the situation with this girl?

A dual personality?

Or a deeply hidden scheming girl?

However, since Yang Nuannuan wasn’t too critical, after knowing Yang Rou was fine, Chen Yan put aside Yang Nuannuan’s matters for the time being. He was just more cautious around her.

This somewhat pleased the confused Yang Nuannuan.

She noticed... Chen Yan seemed to always glance at her, intentionally or not.

Could it be... that he was interested in her?

Late at night, while writing her novel, Yang Nuannuan was even somewhat conflicted in her heart: she had finally managed to shift her own fluttering feelings for Chen Yan onto her novel.

If Chen Yan... really started to become interested in her, what would she do...

Wouldn’t that be unfair to Yu Qiao Qiao?

Late at night, Yang Nuannuan, wearing glasses and reading a book, felt a bit torn, even her favorite books struggled to hold her attention...

Time flew by, and half a month passed.

During this half month, Chen Yan maintained a very regular routine.

During the day he went to work at the company, and at night... he stayed overtime at Lu Man’s house.

Occasionally having a day off and returning to his own home made Chen Yan feel a bit unaccustomed.

Chen Yan began to suspect that this was Lu Man’s scheme: she wanted, through this method, to ensure Chen Yan couldn’t develop more than a friendly relationship with Yu Qiao Qiao...

However, as the awards season approached, she also began to get busier and finally took some of her attention off Chen Yan.

Chen Yan finally started to stay at his own house again.

And when he did, Chen Yan no longer felt someone spying on him.

This gradually reduced his guard against Yang Nuannuan.

Initially, he treated Yang Nuannuan like a "terrifying boss," but now, at most, she was just a person who was not what she seemed.

After all, most people in this world wear masks, and Yang Nuannuan’s mask just happened to have a bigger contrast than most.

So, although Chen Yan still remained alert around Yang Nuannuan, he no longer treated her like an "enemy"...

Today is the date for the announcement of the awards for the Golden Shadow Awards, one of the top three Chinese language awards.

The Golden Shadow Award mainly targets the big screen, cinema movies. Besides having the most critically acclaimed, industry-respected main competition unit, there is also an audience-voted popular category.

Thus, the attention to this award is very high.

This time, Mei Li, who primarily handles public relations for this award,

even managed to arrange PR for three categories due to the sufficient funding provided by Chen Yan.

The first two were what people commonly call the "Best Actress" and "Best Newcomer," both main competition awards.

The last one was a sub-unit, looking at audience popularity.

After today’s awards announcement, the event organizers will start sending out invitations to various celebrities and production teams.

One week later would be the Golden Shadow Award ceremony.

Thus, today, the employees at the film company, who are free-spirited and jovial like their counterparts at the gaming company, were also doing overtime in the office.

However, saying they were doing overtime wasn’t quite right.

Because Chen Yan didn’t give them any work, but instead gathered everyone in a large conference room, sitting there, watching the projection, waiting for the representative of the organizer to announce the list of awards.

And this time, everyone involved had arrived.

Not only were Lu Man and Mei Li there, but even Song Chuang had come from afar to the company, waiting together for the results.
