My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 421
Chapter 421: Chapter 421
So Chen Yan didn’t hesitate at all to grab hold of Lu Man’s little feet and continued to tickle her.
Lu Man was tickled even more fiercely and laughed "giggling" on the sofa, rolling all over the couch.
Jiang Nanxing on the other end of the phone clearly heard Lu Man’s unusual state and couldn’t help but ask, "Man Man, are you okay?"
While laughing, Lu Man said breathlessly, "No, no problem. Chen Yan is bullying me."
A question mark slowly appeared above Jiang Nanxing’s head on the phone: ?
For a moment, her face turned red, and she said with annoyance, "You’re so boring. Calling me while doing that kind of thing!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone in a huff.
Lu Man was stunned for a moment, nearly failing to grasp the implications of Jiang Nanxing’s words. However, she was not in a position to dwell on it, as Chen Yan had not let her go yet.
So she threw her phone aside, and with a fierce and cute glare at Chen Yan, she showed her little pointed canines, "Chen Yan! How dare you bully me!"
"Do you really think I grew these pairs of tiger teeth just for show!"
"Roar~!"
Saying so, Lu Man leapt forward, pouncing towards Chen Yan.
But not to mention the current Chen Yan with a constitution of +9, even the back-then Chen Yan with a constitution of +7 was not someone Lu Man could compare with.
So with just a push of his hand, and then a hug, Chen Yan held Lu Man’s graceful body in his arms.
Lu Man cried out softly, and bit down on Chen Yan’s mouth, "This is for bullying me! This is for bullying me!"
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then started kissing Lu Man with a laugh.
The two were at the age that was most passionate and easily emotional.
Chen Yan was okay since at least he could warm up with Boss Qiao Qiao during this time, but Lu Man had just been enduring.
So the moment they touched, they ignited like dry wood meeting a fierce flame.
From the sofa to the stairs, from the stairs to the bedroom, they changed the battlefield several times.
However, perhaps because of Chen Yan’s constitution of +9, Lu Man, who could only barely put up a fight, was thoroughly defeated this time.
Halfway through the battle, taking advantage of Chen Yan’s change of position, Lu Man ran off bare-bummed, shouting as she ran, "I’m dying, I’m dying. No more! Go find Qiao Qiao!"
She ran so fast that Chen Yan almost didn’t catch her.
So that night... a lot was left unsaid.
Eventually, Lu Man fell soundly asleep in Chen Yan’s arms.
But perhaps due to the enormous shadow Chen Yan cast, even as she slept, she murmured in a low voice, "No more, no more. Give it to Qiao Qiao."
The next morning, Chen Yan woke up from his sleep.
He looked around, and there was no one beside him.
After searching, he discovered that Lu Man had run away at some point.
She hadn’t run away out of the room, but had gone to sleep in the next room over.
At the door, she had posted a sticky note, "Let me rest for the morning. I don’t want any morning exercises!"
Chen Yan smiled awkwardly.
Does an enhanced constitution have these negative effects?
Now both Qiao Qiao and Lu Man were out of the question, could it be... he really had to turn to Brother Ying?
While grumbling, Chen Yan went downstairs: Since Lu Man declared a truce, it was time to let her rest.
He made breakfast downstairs, and while eating, he took out his phone to check the friend circle and the various film and TV groups he had joined with a burner account.
Perhaps because "Soul Suppressing" was nearing its release, there were quite a few discussions about the film in each group.
For an online film, this was quite rare.
After all, online films were at the bottom of the film industry hierarchy. Their limited scale and inability to promote stars meant that they were often overlooked.
But "Soul Suppressing" stood out as the online movie selected for the "Sunrise Project".
And while it was hard to discern the value of the "Sunrise Project" due to its recent inception, the explosive start had caught a lot of people’s attention.
So, Chen Yan saw quite a few people chatting about their opinions on "Soul Suppressing".
"How do you guys feel about ’Soul Suppressing’?"
"I think it’s alright. Not to mention anything else, the fact that A-list celebrities are making cameos ensures the box office security of this online movie."
"Yep, I agree. With that being said, does this mean the second movie of the ’Sunrise Project’ will be a success as well? Could it actually make a significant impact later on?"
Hearing someone evaluate it this way, there was an immediate expression of a different opinion, "I wouldn’t say it’s a success yet. It’s still all about the box office. With Lu Man’s addition, the box office should secure at least twenty million, ranking in the top ten of the year. If it goes higher, then it proves the quality is good."
"+1. We have to see the actual box office numbers."
Chen Yan sipped water and browsed through several groups, finding that the film circle was generally rational about the movie "Soul Suppressing".
No one acted like a movie villain, jumping out to ridicule or throw themselves in the way only to be slapped. Most maintained a cautious optimism.
It was thought that "Soul Suppressing" would perform well but believed that the main reasons were Lu Man’s cameo and Chenlu Film Company’s promotion. The actual results were yet to be determined.
Chen Yan understood these voices.
However, he recalled the Instant Camera photo of "Soul Suppressing" he had recently reviewed. He nearly laughed out loud.
"Soul Suppressing: Netherworld," an online movie.
Production cost: 8 million.
Expected revenue: 46 million.
Project evaluation: A potential masterpiece online movie. Double harvest in word of mouth and box office, and there is a great chance to refresh the box office history of online movies.
Even years later, its results will still rank amongst the top, and its reputation will be one of the best in the history of online movies.
Project suggestion: Increase promotion, because every step you’re taking is making history.
Comprehensive evaluation: Three stars.
Initially, when selecting for the "Sunrise Project," Chen Yan hadn’t planned on producing an online movie.
But Yang Rou highly recommended this project to Chen Yan, and he took it to heart.
Then, after taking a snapshot with the Instant Camera, he was instantly hooked.
The investment-to-revenue ratio was outstanding, the earnings quite considerable, but most importantly—the potential word of mouth and historical standing.
Chen Yan’s goal now was to build an actual entertainment empire. Therefore, at the early stage of conquering the entertainment circle, he needed movies that could leave a historical mark and establish fame.
Therefore, he personally selected this distinctive movie for the list of the "Sunrise Project," even placing it in the first batch.
And now, seeing that the circle is optimistic, but only because of Lu Man, Chen Yan just shook his head with a smile: You know nothing of the true results.
In a few days, when "Soul Suppressing" is released, you’ll know what a masterpiece is.
And so, Chen Yan continued to sip water, eat his food, and scrolled through various groups, lurking.
The morning flew by quickly.
Around noon, as Chen Yan was engrossed in scrolling, the sound of "tap tap tap" footsteps came from upstairs.
Chen Yan followed the sound and saw Lu Man yawning and walking downstairs.
Because the house maintained a constant temperature with central heating, Lu Man was dressed quite lightly.
She wore simple shorts that revealed her long, slender legs, and the upper body was covered in one of Chen Yan’s T-shirts. Because she was quite tall, she didn’t look sloppy in Chen Yan’s shirt, but instead had a different kind of charm.
Upon seeing Chen Yan, she raised her hand in greeting and coolly said, "Morning, big dumb pig."
Chen Yan: ....
This little fairy really is lawless day by day. Chen Yan’s gaze turned dangerous as he looked at her.
For a moment, as if sensing the peril in Chen Yan’s aura, Lu Man quickly squeezed out a cute smile and in a teasy and cute voice said, "Wow~~ it’s the Great Commander, Chen Yan! What are you doing here? Are you hungry? Shall I cook for you~~~"
Watching her change faces, Chen Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
As Chen Yan’s fortune and status grew, the women around him all felt the pressure.
Even those who were closest to him occasionally made him miss the ordinary comforts due to their respective personalities.
Only Lu Man, this little goofball, was able to treat him with normalcy.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t hang up on Chen Yan because of work.
Or ignore Chen Yan while chatting with her besties.
Even allowing Chen Yan to "pick at her feet".
Thinking about these things, Chen Yan’s face fell.
He felt that he should sternly assert his position as the man of the house, to put this little missy in her place.
Let her know that he was indeed the master of the house, deserving of her respect!
Of course, the main thing was to make sure Lu Man completed the fourth ring!
With this in mind, Chen Yan’s gaze followed Lu Man to the kitchen.
