"Beep... Beep... Beep..."

In the past, Lu Man's phone calls were answered instantly, but this time it took an unusually long time.

Chen Yan waited seven or eight seconds, his brows furrowing before the call was finally answered.

After the call connected, Lu Man's lazy voice came through, "Hello~~? What's up?"

Chen Yan asked with concern, "Why did it take so long to pick up? Are you alright?"

Lu Man replied absentmindedly, "I'm fine. But nobody said you have to pick up the phone immediately, right?"

Hearing Lu Man's words, Chen Yan immediately knew that the little fairy was still sulking, so he asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Still angry?"

Lu Man gave a "Yo ho," and said, "So, the big CEO even knows I'm angry?"

Chen Yan felt a bit embarrassed.

He actually... didn't really know. But who could blame him for having a system? He could directly see the changes in Lu Man's affection level and the reasons why.

Therefore, he diverted the topic without picking up on it, coughing once and saying, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I'll come over and eat with you."

Lu Man declined, "No need. I've already eaten. I ordered takeout. Way too much! I haven't finished it, there's a lot left."

Chen Yan: ...

It seemed that the little fairy had quite a temper.

However, the time he had been flirting between two girls had taught Chen Yan a lesson: When a girl is angry, there is only one thing a man should do. That is to be shameless.

No matter what the girl says or does. Just stick around her.

Generally, the main reason girls get angry is because of the attitude of men.

So when you show that you really care about her, she naturally stops being angry.

So, with this in mind, Chen Yan said with a laugh, "That's perfect. You've eaten, but I haven't. Since you have leftovers, I might as well mooch a meal and save myself from buying one."

Lu Man probably did not expect Chen Yan to say such a thing and was stunned for a moment before laughing out of irritation, "You, a CEO who spends tens of millions a day, are trying to save a few dozen yuan on takeout?"

Chen Yan said, "It's not exactly that. It's just... I spent a little too much yesterday, so I'm a bit short on cash."

"Man Man, the film queen~~ let me mooch a meal."

Hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man felt a sweetness in her heart.

She knew full well that Chen Yan was just making excuses to see her.

But this... also proved that Chen Yan cared about her.

So she huffed lightly, with a bit of coquettishness, "Alright then~ come over."

After speaking, she added another sentence, "By the way, I'd like some milk, there's none left at home. Could you get me some on your way here?"

Chen Yan took Lu Man's willingness to let him visit as a victory and said, "Okay! See you in a bit!"

Lu Man huffed again lightly and then hung up the phone.

Chen Yan, aware of Lu Man's prideful nature, didn't mind. He cheerfully got up from his office and prepared to go see Lu Man.

It was a rare opportunity for some alone time, and tonight, he planned to recover the lost affection from yesterday.

Humming a tune, Chen Yan left the company and twirled the car keys as he went to take the elevator.

The elevator arrived quickly without a long wait.

However, it was the elevator going up, meaning someone was coming up to his floor from below.

"Ding. Floor 18," announced the elevator's sweet voice.

As the doors opened, a girl stood in the elevator.

She was about 165 centimeters tall, dressed in a school uniform, wearing black round glasses, a delicate LV bag slung over her shoulder, and carrying several books.

It was Yang Nuannuan.

When Chen Yan saw Yang Nuannuan, she also saw him.

However, upon seeing Chen Yan, Yang Nuannuan suddenly became somewhat flustered.

She quickly lowered her head to greet him, "Mr. Chen."

After speaking, as if preoccupied with thoughts and without waiting for Chen Yan's response, she briskly walked toward the office.

Chen Yan had only half-raised his hand in greeting when he noticed Yang Nuannuan's behavior and paused, puzzled about what was wrong with the girl.

Just as Chen Yan hesitated, he heard a startled cry from Yang Nuannuan nearby.

Turning to look, he saw Yang Nuannuan seemed to have slipped because she was walking too quickly, falling to the ground on her bottom, scattering her books everywhere, and her glasses and bag were thrown aside.

Chen Yan was shocked and quickly walked over.

Upon reaching Yang Nuannuan, he asked, "Nuan Nuan, are you alright?"

While speaking, Chen Yan looked at Yang Nuannuan.

And then, upon closer inspection, Chen Yan was stunned.

This was the first time he had seen Yang Nuannuan without her glasses.

With glasses on, she seemed like a well-behaved girl. But now, without them, she had an air of allure and wildness about her that was completely different from her usual appearance.

Perhaps realizing her "true face" had been seen by Chen Yan, Yang Nuannuan hurriedly lowered her head, using her hair to cover her face, and then said, "No, I'm fine."

Chen Yan snapped back to reality, feeling surprised but not dwelling on it.

Some people indeed look very different with or without glasses, so it was not particularly strange.

With that thought, Chen Yan promptly picked up Yang Nuannuan's glasses.

In the process of picking up the glasses, Chen Yan was surprised to discover that Yang Nuannuan's glasses were plain glass with no prescription.

In other words... she wasn't nearsighted. The glasses were just an accessory...

This surprised Chen Yan somewhat.

Of course, there were people who wore plain glasses as fashion, but they tended to be fashionable, vibrant types rather than the studious look Yang Nuannuan emitted with her glasses.

Pondering this with curiosity, Chen Yan handed the glasses to Yang Nuannuan.

While Chen Yan was helping her pick up her glasses, Yang Nuannuan also picked up her bag and books.

Taking the glasses from Chen Yan, Yang Nuannuan put them on with her head down, looked up again, and had resumed her studious appearance.

Chen Yan looked at her, asking, "Are you sure you're okay? Can you walk?"

Yang Nuannuan stood up from the ground, moved a little, and said kindly, "I'm fine now. Thank you, Mr. Chen."

After she said this, she added, "Um... Mr. Chen. If there's nothing else, I should get back to work."

Chen Yan nodded, "All right."

Yang Nuannuan bowed once more toward Chen Yan and then headed towards the office.

Chen Yan watched her leave, feeling as if the girl was hiding some secret.

Not paying too much attention to it, Chen Yan took the elevator down and drove towards Lu Man's villa.

On the way, according to Lu Man's request, he bought her a can of milk.

Arriving at Lu Man's villa, he knocked on the door.

After a moment, the door opened.

Chen Yan looked inside, failed to see Lu Man, only catching a glimpse of her turning to walk away.

This was quite unlike Lu Man.

You see, every time Chen Yan had come to Lu Man's place in the past, she would welcome him in various personas.

Flight attendant, teacher, detective, even once as a cat with purred "meows"...

And now... nothing?

Chen Yan felt an inexplicable sense of loss: It seems the affection level did indeed drop quite a bit. Time to put in extra effort tonight!

With that, Chen Yan entered, closing the door behind him, and asked, "Are you okay? Why was there no welcome ritual?"

The "welcome ritual" referred to the scripts Lu Man created for her roles...

On hearing Chen Yan's words, Lu Man rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you see I'm busy?"

Chen Yan looked around and then... did not actually see what Lu Man was busy with. But her... attire was a bit special.

She was wearing a tight black outfit that highlighted her shapely figure even more impressively.

Those long legs, flat stomach, waist that could be encircled with a hand, and upright breasts all spoke of the vitality inherent in that body.

Chen Yan asked, "What... are you doing?"

Without replying, Lu Man went straight to a mat in the living room, then lifted her left leg high and straight, landing it on the floor into a sideways split.

She then brought her hands together in front of her chest and leaned forward, performing a yoga pose.

As she held the position, the voice of a yoga instructor came from the TV, "Follow me... exhale... inhale..."

Chen Yan then understood: So she was doing yoga.

Indeed, yoga was a great way to maintain one's figure and improve flexibility.

And it was today's yoga session that suddenly reminded Chen Yan: Oh... right, Lu Man's specialty is supposed to be dancing.

That... could mean he was in for a treat. Ahem.

While frivolously pondering, Chen Yan took off his shoes and sat on the sofa, resting his chin in his hands as he watched Lu Man practice yoga.

Perhaps because she had danced from a young age, Lu Man's flexibility was exceptional, and she could always perform moves that took Chen Yan by surprise.

And whether it was because of a distinctive charm she possessed, each of Lu Man's movements carried a unique beauty—part dance, part graceful swan song.

For a moment, Chen Yan was somewhat mesmerized...

At this time, although Lu Man was supposedly doing yoga, her thoughts were entirely on Chen Yan.

No matter how naive a girl may be, she'll have her cunning thoughts when facing the person she likes. And Lu Man, who was full of such thoughts herself, more so.

So... knowing that Chen Yan was coming to see her, Lu Man had changed into her dance attire and started doing yoga.

Yoga was the best way to show off one's physique and was Lu Man's trump card.

After several months of interacting with Chen Yan, Lu Man knew every point that Chen Yan liked, and she was well aware of the lethality of her outfit.

But that was her goal...

'Humph! Chen Yan! We'll see if you can resist falling for my grand dance dress!
