My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 341 Qiao Qiao’s Persistence
Chapter 341: Chapter 341 Qiao Qiao’s Persistence
Not remembering what had happened between himself and He Mengxue should have been a good thing, after all, it was highly likely that the woman was just deliberately flirting with Chen Yan.
But... as Chen Yan tried to recall further back, he realized he couldn’t even remember how he left the bar.
This meant he had completely blacked out, and therefore, he didn’t remember anything from that period of time.
That was frightening.
Because... it was very possible that during the time he lost consciousness, he really did do something more than friendly with He Mengxue.
Arriving at the bathroom, he closed the door and began to undress.
After taking off his clothes and thoroughly searching through his pants, he indeed couldn’t find the missing pair of underwear.
Chen Yan rubbed his temples.
This suggested that he had at least really been stripped by someone.
At that moment, he inexplicably felt that if it were He Mengxue who had done it, he could accept it more, but if it were Qin Ming...
Ah. That would be too awkward.
Sitting in the toilet for a while, Chen Yan examined his body in the mirror for any traces: everything was clean, without any scratches, cuts, or any suspicious fluids.
With his experience of being in intimate situations with Lu Man many times, Chen Yan was fairly certain He Mengxue was bluffing him.
After all, in his unconscious state, to do certain things, someone had to be on top of him, which inevitably would leave some traces and fluid residues.
If there were none, then most likely he was still pure. freeweɓnovel.cøm
As for the extreme possibility that He Mengxue gave him a bath after their affair... Chen Yan thought it was mostly unlikely.
After all, if He Mengxue had told him about their affair, there would be no need to clear the traces.
And the truth would be known tomorrow, anyway.
Today, He Mengxue had run off too quickly, acting all high and mighty and then running away; Chen Yan had been a bit dumbfounded at the time and had not managed to use the "Inner Heart Headphones". Wait till tomorrow when he caught her, and he’d know the truth by listening with "Inner Heart Headphones".
The reason why he verified things himself today was just so Chen Yan could sleep more comfortably.
After settling his worries, Chen Yan took a shower in the bathroom, then dried off and stepped out wrapped in a bathrobe.
In the mist-filled bathroom, a streak of green was clearly visible.
Chen Yan leaned in to look and discovered that at some point a green plant had been placed on the original washstand.
That plant, rooted in water and sprouting two leaves, was growing vigorously and looked very spirited.
Chen Yan paused, remembering that the plant hadn’t been there in the bathroom yesterday. Could it be a new purchase by Boss Qiao Qiao?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan looked around the bathroom and found that, indeed, there seemed to be a few more delicate touches, making the whole space look warmer and cuter.
Praising Boss Qiao Qiao’s handiwork and cleverness in his heart, Chen Yan dried himself off, put on the bathrobe, and left the bathroom.
Just out of the bathroom, when Chen Yan turned off the lights and was heading to his room, he heard a slight noise.
Following the sound, he looked up to see Yu Qiao Qiao’s room door opening as she stumbled out, bleary-eyed.
Seeing Yu Qiao Qiao, Chen Yan stopped and asked softly, "You’re awake? Did I wake you?"
Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Yu Qiao Qiao silently shook her head and then walked over. After hesitating for a moment, she carefully wrapped her arms around Chen Yan in an embrace that seemed worried she might break him if she held too tight.
Chen Yan, unsure what was up with the girl tonight, gently wrapped his arms around her waist and patted her head.
Perhaps finding Chen Yan’s scent reassuring, Yu Qiao Qiao leaned against his chest and said softly, "I just can’t settle down when you’re not home, I’m always a little worried."
"I got too sleepy earlier, so I accidentally fell asleep. Then, during sleep, I dreamed you hadn’t come back, and it scared me awake..."
Her voice was timid, like a small, young animal.
Chen Yan felt a twinge of pain.
But he still tried to respond with a smile, "Oh, what’s there to be worried about. It’s normal to come home late sometimes because of work and social obligations."
"Don’t worry. You should go to bed earlier. You’ll see me first thing the next morning."
What Chen Yan said was logical, with rational analysis and emotional... enticement. Based on his understanding of Yu Qiao Qiao, it was likely she would accept it.
After all, in Chen Yan’s mind, Yu Qiao Qiao was always that soft-spoken and somewhat dimwitted girl who followed whatever he said.
But this time, Chen Yan miscalculated.
Because Yu Qiao Qiao, hugging Chen Yan, tightened her grip and pouted, saying, "I want to wait for you to come back."
Chen Yan paused, then advised, "Be good. You’re supposed to sleep when it’s time for bed. If necessary, I’ll wake you up when I get back."
The normally gentle Yu Qiao Qiao raised her head, staring bravely at Chen Yan with eyes resembling those of a deer, and said, "I want to wait for you..."
Perhaps courage was indeed a luxury for Yu Qiao Qiao; she bravely started speaking but halfway through, her look became one of pleading, "Is that okay... please."
Chen Yan: ....
After a moment,
Chen Yan hugged Yu Qiao Qiao tighter.
"Okay."
Yu Qiao Qiao held back the tears in her eyes, then softly and timidly apologized, "I’m sorry... I didn’t mean to."
Chen Yan hugged her more affectionately, "Silly girl..."
After comforting Boss Qiao Qiao for a while, Chen Yan escorted Yu Qiao Qiao back to her room. He tucked her in and left, watching the satisfied Yu Qiao Qiao sweetly close her eyes.
On the way back, Chen Yan stroked his chin and thought.
’Hmm... in the future, if I’m out late at night, I’ll just say I’m staying out and not come to Qiao Qiao’s.’
’Best of both worlds!’
Passing through the living room and back to his own room, Chen Yan pondered as he looked at Zhao Ying’s door, then entered his own room.
Meanwhile, in Zhao Ying’s room, where a sliver of door was ajar and having witnessed the entire sweet episode, Zhao Ying gleamed with gossip in her dark eyes.
She pumped her fist in excitement, "Staying up late is definitely the right move! All the interesting things happen at night!"
After getting excited on her own, Zhao Ying peeked her head out and looked around, ensuring she hadn’t been noticed, then quietly closed her door and climbed into bed to sleep.
Having just watched a live drama, she would surely sleep sweetly tonight.
She felt that living with Yu Qiao Qiao was the best decision she had ever made.
As long as she wasn’t discovered, her love for gossip could be satisfied by Yu Qiao Qiao and Chen Yan alone.
Oh yeah!
...
At the same time, in Chen Yan’s room.
Chen Yan shook his head as he put down his phone.
On the phone screen, a pixelated Zhao Ying was looking around comically and swaying back and forth.
Clearly, Chen Yan had seen everything about Brother Ying’s snooping...

...
The next day.
Just like the previous days, Chen Yan was roused by the smell of breakfast.
He got up from bed and saw Yu Qiao Qiao, already cooking breakfast wearing an apron.
After greeting her, Chen Yan went to freshen up.
When he returned, breakfast was already set on the table.
Both Chen Yan and Zhao Ying had a pancake with an extra egg, and a cup of soy milk.
And Yu Qiao Qiao had a fried egg and half a cup of soy milk.
Chen Yan had talked to her a few times before, asking her to eat more, but each time Yu Qiao Qiao just shook her head, saying it wasn’t about being thrifty, she just ate less for breakfast.
Chen Yan tried to persuade her twice but couldn’t; so he stopped trying.
After breakfast, Yu Qiao Qiao cleaned up the table and then the three of them went to work together.
Arriving at Fenghua Building. Today, Fenghua Building was a bit busy, a lot of people were coming and going, moving stuff.
Chen Yan’s contract with the Dong family had been signed and they would vacate the building these few days.
After vacating it, Chen Yan could fulfill the agreement.
After fulfilling the agreement, he also needed to take over Twin Towers Hotel.
The next few days for Chen Yan would be busy.
Taking the elevator, Chen Yan and Zhao Ying went to the venture capital company on the 16th floor, while Yu Qiao Qiao headed to her clay sculpture studio on the 18th floor.
After helping Chen Yan for two days, she returned to the gaming company.
After all, she was one of the main creators of "Mudman Ultimate Elimination".
Chen Yan, the boss, had been hands-off, but Boss Qiao Qiao was serious, still sincerely fulfilling her role as a designer.
Previously, Chen Yan always wanted to lure her to join him.
But today he had to go and verify yesterday’s events with He Mengxue, so he didn’t try to coax her.
When reaching the 18th floor, Yu Qiao Qiao, carrying her backpack, silently went to the clay sculpture studio, where she paused and greeted the employees with a shy bow.
Those greeted by her also responded with smiles.
At these times, Yu Qiao Qiao’s face would always show a lovely smile.
And when she ran into the plump Phoenix, Yu Qiao Qiao’s smile grew even brighter. As she bowed her head shyly and yet enthusiastically, she called out, "Phoenix!"
