My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 388 Lu Man the Little Fairy is Back~~

He Meng Xue had not been happy these past few days.

Because she felt that her plan to win over Chen Yan seemed to have run into some unforeseen problems.

Not only had Chen Yan remained guarded against her, but she also realized that she was not the most special person around him.

There were too many outstanding girls around Chen Yan.

For instance, Yang Rou, who had been with Chen Yan since the startup phase and had held her own.

Like Yu Qiao Qiao, though still rather green but kind-hearted at her core, capturing people’s affection at first glance, and who was now in control of a charity foundation.

Or Zhao Ying, who might come off a bit silly at times but boasted outstanding combat power and came with a hefty dowry.

And then there was... Lu Man returning to the company today, a top female celebrity who was shining brightly in the domestic entertainment circle.

With Chen Yan’s financial backing, along with the extensive network of Sister Mei Li, Yang Rou, and Song Chuang, Lu Man’s career had indeed skyrocketed.

Especially after she won the award and advanced to an A-list celebrity status, her schedule had been non-stop.

Busy from dawn to dusk.

She attended this variety show, that interview, that event, that rehearsal.

The direct result was her fame climbing step by step, her renown growing ever higher, and her national popularity increasing.

Keep in mind that her rise to a popular celebrity was due to her beauty that outshone all others in the entertainment industry.

Plus, the reputation boost from her movie "23 Days of Heartbreak".

She had been the hottest celebrity in the past two months.

So when He Meng Xue bumped into her in the stairwell, despite her pride as a "capitalist", she couldn’t help but feel a sense of being outdone...

...

Lu Man had been really busy lately.

When she first entered showbiz, she had heard that celebrities become very tired once they get popular.

But when she was a second-tier actress, she thought... it was nothing much.

So, she didn’t take it to heart.

It wasn’t until she actually became popular that Lu Man realized... is being a celebrity this exhausting?

No wonder those celebrities end up in embarrassing acting scenarios.

It made her appreciate the time she spent with Chen Yan even more.

Soon, the Sunrise Project press conference would be held, and as the keynote speaker of the conference, she had a chance to rest, so she hurried over to the company, planning to have a good talk with Chen Yan.

But as soon as she entered the elevator, she ran into He Meng Xue.

Lu Man knew a bit about He Meng Xue.

She knew... she was the young lady of the He family from Qin Island. And she knew... this woman had designs on Chen Yan.

So, she just nodded slightly as a greeting and then continued to hide her expression behind her sunglasses.

...

He Meng Xue similarly nodded at Lu Man as a form of greeting, then stood alone in a corner of the stairwell, looking somewhat depressed.

She didn’t know what was happening.

Ever since her failure to negotiate with a major headline last time, she felt that she had been hit hard. She couldn’t get her spirits up.

And after a series of failures dealing with Chen Yan’s several women, she felt even more dejected.

She even started to doubt her feelings for Chen Yan.

She felt that at first, she was indeed very curious about Chen Yan, but not to the point of liking him.

Later, when she joined Chen Yan’s team, that curiosity turned into admiration.

And then, perhaps because of Chen Yan’s rejection, He Meng Xue found herself sinking deeper.

She felt that her feelings for Chen Yan could be summed up in twelve words: Inextricable emotions, relentless turmoil, yearning for the unattained leading to discontent.

But gradually, this discontent had turned into some measure of affection, of which she wasn’t certain.

She just felt really lost now.

Her love life wasn’t going smoothly.

Her career wasn’t going smoothly.

She didn’t even know what to do...

As she was thinking, the elevator stopped at the 15th floor: Chen’s Investment Company.

He Meng Xue turned her head and glanced at Lu Man.

Lu Man, with her sunglasses, looked straight ahead at the elevator doors as if she had never glanced at her.

He Meng Xue couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: Could it be... Am I really that inferior?

Zhao Ying and Yang Rou, and now Lu Man, never cared about me, never saw me as a competitor...

While thinking this, He Meng Xue politely nodded to Lu Man, then stepped out of the stairwell.

What she didn’t know was that if she had dared to boldly remove Lu Man’s sunglasses right there in the elevator, she would see... Although Lu Man had been looking straight at the elevator doors all along, the eyes behind the sunglasses were practically at the corner of her eyes, secretly observing her.

Even as she walked out, Lu Man’s eyes followed her all the way to the elevator exit.

Her gaze was filled with curiosity and contemplation...

Watching He Meng Xue leave in a low spirits, Lu Man pouted slightly, feeling a bit puzzled...

The elevator continued upward, passed by Chenlu Film Company, and stopped at the top floor at Chenyu Game Company.

The elevator doors opened, and Lu Man, carrying the LV bag that Chen Yan had bought for her a long time ago, stepped into the game company with her legs that any leg aficionado would go crazy for.

Even though the game company was filled with homebodies of both sexes, the sight of Lu Man prompted them to respectfully take notice.

Besides Lu Man’s commanding presence, it was also her current A-list celebrity status.

When she arrived at Chen Yan’s office, Lu Man, acting the playful fairy, pushed open the door without reserve and barged in.

Her entrance was even more relaxed than if she had been at her own home.

But ever since the inception of the company, she had always acted this way, so the employees of the game company simply smiled to themselves, feeling that Lu Man had a great rapport with their boss.

She pushed open the door to find Chen Yan heads down, revising a document. Lu Man closed the door with flair, then instantly transformed from queen of the realm to a playful fairy.

She took off her sunglasses, excitedly announced to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan~~ I’m back~~~~"

"Did you miss me or not?"

Chen Yan had guessed it was her as soon as Lu Man had burst in without knocking.

Apart from her, there was no one else who would enter his office without knocking.

So with a smile, he continued revising the document while jokingly replied, "You guess?"

Even though they hadn’t seen each other for more than half a month, their relationship remained as strong as if they had just woken up and watched the sunrise together that morning.

Lu Man, giggling, bounced over to Chen Yan’s side, jumped onto him and straddled his lap as she said, "I guess... that you’ve definitely been seduced by other little fairies."

Chen Yan was startled when she jumped; he nearly didn’t catch her.

He fumbled for a moment before grabbing hold of her bottom, preventing her from falling.

The scare nearly caused his heart to leap out of his chest.

And now, hearing her say this, Chen Yan pretended to be annoyed, lightly slapped her bottom, and said, "That’s for talking nonsense. Besides you, this little fairy, where would I find another?"

Lu Man had the constitution of someone who enjoyed being teased, so Chen Yan’s light tap was not a punishment for her but rather something she relished.

She bit her lip with a soft moan, acting spoiled as she said, "Then what about those girls who’ve recently come to the company? What’s that about?"

Upon hearing Lu Man’s question, Chen Yan, with a clear conscience, didn’t hesitate to respond, "I have nothing to do with them."

"They and I are only in professional relationships."

Seeing Chen Yan try so hard to "display his loyalty," and even though she knew he was fooling her, Lu Man still felt gratified.

So she laughed softly, then leaned in and kissed Chen Yan.

Chen Yan only felt something warm, sweet, and soft against his lips, followed by a playful tongue pushing its way in.

Chen Yan chuckled, closed his eyes, and captured Lu Man’s mischievous tongue as their lips met, unspoken words conveying everything...

After about a minute or two, Lu Man drew away from Chen Yan’s lips, then she playfully wriggled in his lap, rubbing against him which made the already heated Chen Yan feel desire rising.

He smacked her bottom again, harder this time, and said, "Stop fooling around. I’ll come see you tonight."

Lu Man, with her finger teasingly hooking Chen Yan’s collar, looked captivating as she flirtatiously replied, "Boss~~ don’t you want to try it in the office?"

"I am, after all, your personal secretary~~~"

Sure enough, despite being out and busy for more than half a month, Lu Man was still that same little fairy who loved role-playing.

However, now that her status had changed, even if she wanted to play, for the sake of her image, Chen Yan wouldn’t dare to really get playful in the office.

So Chen Yan just firmly grabbed her behind and said, "Stop it. Let’s talk business. The press conference is about to start. How are your preparations going?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s query, Lu Man continued to laugh as she slapped Chen Yan’s acting-up hand and replied, "It’s all ready."

"But~~ speaking of serious matters. I just remembered some gossip I heard recently. Do you want to hear it?"

She smiled at Chen Yan and said, "It’s about the ice-cold female CEO from your past~~"

...

"I am, after all, your personal secretary~~~"

Indeed, even though she had been away and busy for over half a month, Lu Man was still that same little fairy who loved role-playing.

But now, given her changed status, even if she wanted to play, Chen Yan wouldn’t dare to indulge her in the office in consideration of her image.

So Chen Yan just grabbed her bottom and said, "Enough, let’s talk about something serious. The press conference is about to start. How are you prepared?"

When Chen Yan asked this, Lu Man countered by playfully slapping the hand that was misbehaving and said, "I’m all prepared."

"But~~ speaking of serious matters. I just remembered some gossip I heard recently. Do you want to hear it?"

She grinned at Chen Yan, adding, "It’s about the ice-cold female CEO from your past~~"
