My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 335
Chapter 335: Chapter 335
Since Yu Qiao Qiao’s new house wasn’t far from the company, the three of them didn’t bother with a car and simply walked back.
Walking on the street, Chen Yan was also chatting with the two girls.
"Qiao Qiao, where have you been running off to all day? I haven’t seen you around."
Since Chen Yan’s surprise attack had failed earlier, Yu Qiao Qiao had been like a disappeared person for the rest of the day, vanishing without a trace. If it weren’t for when they clocked out, with Chen Yan sending Yu Qiao Qiao a message, he wouldn’t even know if she remembered they were supposed to go home together that evening.
Hearing Chen Yan’s question, Yu Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but blush.
She shyly lowered her head, saying, "I... I... I didn’t go anywhere. I went back to the gaming company to work on some designs."
Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s words, Chen Yan gave her a curious look.
Went back to the gaming company?
Why such a reaction if you went back to the company?
Perhaps a bit too curious about Yu Qiao Qiao’s reaction, Chen Yan couldn’t help but use the "Inner Headphones" on her for the second time that day.
As soon as he did, Chen Yan found out that Yu Qiao Qiao had actually lied.
She hadn’t gone to the gaming company at all, but had instead run off to the film and television company upstairs.
After telling Yang Nuannuan about the private matters between her and Chen Yan, Yang Nuannuan had run to the company from home.
And so, the two best friends hid in Yang Rou’s office and gossiped all day long.
Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t say what they talked about, but Chen Yan could make a pretty good guess.
It was all that girly stuff about boyfriends, the kind that makes you blush.
Sometimes, the topics between girls can be far more explicit than those between boys...
Thus, aside from feeling a bit embarrassed that Yang Nuannuan found out about his habit of reading erotica, Chen Yan didn’t feel too much impact.
In fact... perhaps because it was Yang Nuannuan, who had been spying on him, who found out, Chen Yan’s feeling of embarrassment was almost negligible.
Not too bothered by this, Chen Yan confidently turned off the "Inner Headphones."
On the way back home, the conversation shifted from Yu Qiao Qiao to Zhao Ying.
Yu Qiao Qiao also found out for the first time that Zhao Ying had a showdown with He Mengxue today and had outright defeated her.
Boss Qiao Qiao covered her mouth in shock.
However, when Chen Yan took the opportunity to ask Zhao Ying what she later talked about with He Mengxue, and why He Mengxue was so respectful towards her afterward, Zhao Ying just gave Chen Yan a look that said, "You weirdo, you wouldn’t understand."
Chen Yan was stunned.
He really didn’t understand when martial arts practice had become mainstream and not practicing it made one the weirdo!
He refused to accept it!
He felt that even if it were the Jade Emperor himself standing before him, Chen Yan would definitely argue that it’s those martial arts fanatics who are the real weirdos!
So the three of them chatted and playfully bickered all the way home.
When they got home, Yu Qiao Qiao washed her hands, put on an apron, and started preparing tonight’s dinner.
Boss Qiao Qiao really had the potential to be a great wife and mother. Even though she was just staying here for the vacation, she still managed to keep the entire home tidy, and also did the grocery shopping and cooking, giving this little home a homely atmosphere.
Chen Yan should know, having lived outside for so long, he ordered takeouts every day, and wouldn’t cook unless there was something to celebrate.
So, seeing Yu Qiao Qiao, with her apron on and hair tied back in a braid, start cooking, Chen Yan happily ran over to assist her.
Whereas, Zhao Ying had no such initiative and went to her room with her phone to play by herself. This, on the other hand, provided this couple with some quality alone time...
While preparing the vegetables, Chen Yan helped Yu Qiao Qiao pick out the good pieces and asked curiously, "Qiao Qiao, who did you learn your cooking skills from?"
Yu Qiao Qiao lowered her head, smiled faintly, and then said, "At the orphanage."
"After I started middle school, I used to help the matron out."
"In high school, during holidays, I would occasionally help the matron cook."
"It just came with practice."
Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao say this, Chen Yan blinked. He had to admit: Necessity really is the mother of invention.
Look at the carefree Zhao Ying and the always considerate Yu Qiao Qiao, they’re like two extremes...
But then thinking about Zhao Xuan’s death, Chen Yan sighed softly again.
He wondered how long Zhao Ying’s carefree nature would last.
Could she really remain as composed as she claimed upon learning of Zhao Xuan’s death?
Chen Yan was a bit skeptical.
Moreover, with time passing, the chances of keeping this a secret were getting slimmer. Chen Yan had no other thoughts, only hoping that before this news came to light he could get the venture capital company on track to provide Zhao Ying with some security.
That way, at least, she wouldn’t have to worry about her future.
Thinking this over, Chen Yan turned and glanced at Yu Qiao Qiao beside him.
Yu Qiao Qiao had an oval face, delicate and small. From the front, she had a bit of baby fat that made her seem especially cute.
But from the side, Chen Yan noticed her features were truly beautiful, with her fair skin, upturned nose, and tender lips. Her slightly undone hair, with a couple of strands hanging down, added a girl-next-door quality to her charm.
She wasn’t the type of beauty that stunned you at first sight like Lu Man.
Rather, she was the kind of dream a person never forgets from their youth...
Chen Yan found himself staring a little too intently.
Even the matter of Zhao Ying he had just been pondering was pushed to the back of his mind.
Possibly because Chen Yan had been silent for too long, the focused Yu Qiao Qiao turned her curious face to look at him.
Her big eyes full of wonder, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like feathers...
Chen Yan couldn’t help but reach out and gently tuck the hanging strands of hair behind her ear, his fingers lightly brushing Yu Qiao Qiao’s tender cheeks, soft to the touch.
The touch left a delicate blush spread across Yu Qiao Qiao’s cheeks...
Yu Qiao Qiao’s lips curled up sweetly, a light blush on her face as she turned away and continued to tenderly sort the vegetables.
Watching her adorable expression, Chen Yan smiled softly and bent down to continue picking vegetables...
The room was silent, warmth spreading, with a soft affection blooming between the two...
...
With the joint efforts of the young couple, dinner was ready before long.
Chen Yan gently wiped the sweat from Yu Qiao Qiao’s brow, earning a cute smile from Boss Qiao Qiao.
As they served the meal, Zhao Ying, having snuck off to who knows where, opportunistically returned.
Seeing the table full of flavorful dishes, Zhao Ying exclaimed dramatically, "Wow! So much food tonight! Six dishes!"
She looked up, her dark eyes turning towards Yu Qiao Qiao, blinking, "Didn’t we use to have only two dishes before? Are the rest all for Chen Yan?"
Hearing Zhao Ying’s question, Yu Qiao Qiao flushed red and shyly tapped Zhao Ying, saying, "Brother Ying, stop talking nonsense. We have an extra person now, so I made a bit more."
Stammering, she explained, "And, and Chen Yan is a boy. He eats a lot. So I had to make more. That way he can be full."
Zhao Ying looked at her surprised, "He eats more than me?!"
"And didn’t you used to say not to eat too much at night because it’s not digestible?"
As Brother Ying kept innocently exposing Yu Qiao Qiao’s subtle sentiments, Yu Qiao Qiao blushed unsure about where to put her hands.
Chen Yan watched with amusement as the two virtual girlfriends interacted, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Perhaps fearing Chen Yan might misunderstand, Yu Qiao Qiao whispered an explanation to Chen Yan after sitting down, "Chen Yan... I didn’t mean to starve Brother Ying on purpose. It’s just that Brother Ying has a shocking appetite. So I can’t let her eat too much."
Chen Yan just thought Yu Qiao Qiao was making excuses and didn’t take it seriously.
However, during the meal, Chen Yan truly witnessed Zhao Ying’s appetite.
It was terrifying!
There were six dishes on the table and a pot of rice, yet Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao’s combined consumption wasn’t even half of what Zhao Ying ate.
This was after Yu Qiao Qiao had repeatedly told Zhao Ying "Stop eating" "Stop eating."
If they had let Zhao Ying eat without restraint, who knows how much more she could have eaten!
Chen Yan started to understand Yu Qiao Qiao’s concern: the dishes piled up were taller than Zhao Ying, yet her stomach seemed bottomless, taking it all in!
It was exaggerated! Wouldn’t that burst her?
Was Brother Ying’s body made of rubber, able to stretch and fit everything in?
Chen Yan was baffled...
After dinner, Zhao Ying ran back to her room, and Chen Yan and Yu Qiao Qiao once again enjoyed some alone time: watching TV on the sofa.
The two watched until 11 p.m., reluctant to part, and then went to shower in turn.
Yu Qiao Qiao went first, Chen Yan second.
Entering the bathroom, the air was full of Boss Qiao Qiao’s scent, which made Chen Yan feel a tad restless.
When he came out, Chen Yan ran into Yu Qiao Qiao, in her pajamas, coming out to get water.
As they brushed past each other, Chen Yan felt like his hand had been lightly touched.
It was nothing more than a regular contact, but Chen Yan suddenly became excited: He got the hint!
Having experienced Brother Ying tapping him on the head twice, Chen Yan was sure this was Yu Qiao Qiao’s subtle signal!
