Although Chen Yan met Lu Man later than he did Boss Qiao Qiao,

his relationship with Lu Man actually progressed much faster because of her personality.

This allowed Lu Man to understand some of Chen Yan's reactions more clearly.

On the other end of the phone, she clearly heard Chen Yan swallow his saliva. Lu Man immediately laughed charmingly a few times, then said flirtatiously to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan, you're acting a bit strange."

"Don't get any wild ideas~"

"I just want to replenish some protein."

Chen Yan: !

Your voice, this dialogue, are you sure it's me who's thinking dirty?!

It has to be said, Lu Man really is quite the enchantress. It's as if she was born knowing how to "torment" men.

At this moment, the person on the other end of the phone was lying on the couch in a black lace nightgown, idly playing with her hair, and said in a sweet voice to Chen Yan, "Chen Yan~ you're not beside me. I'm feeling a bit hungry."

"Do you want to come and satisfy me~?"

Chen Yan once again "gulp" swallowed his saliva.

Forget it, when has he ever won against this little fairy while together?

With that thought, Chen Yan didn't resist any longer.

He glanced at the time, and it was almost noon.

So he said, "I will make some arrangements and come to be with you in the afternoon."

Lu Man pouted, sounding a bit aggrieved as she asked, "Afternoon...?"

Chen Yan: ...

"Midday, midday is okay, right?"

Hearing Chen Yan change his tune right away, Lu Man immediately smiled happily. She lightly hummed a note and said, "That's more like it."

Even so, she still took advantage while playing coy, "You know, I'm not calling you over to play; we have serious business to discuss."

"When you get here, you~~ will know."

After saying that, she added, "Oh right. When you come... remember to bring me a portion of spare ribs with rice. The one from the shop downstairs of the company, I want to eat that for lunch."

Chen Yan replied helplessly, "Okay~ Your Highness..."...

After dealing with the little fairy, Chen Yan tidied up the documents on his desk, then stood up and left the office.

After explaining a couple of things to Cheng Tianxiang and Fatty Fenghuang and ensuring they'd look after the company, Chen Yan prepared to leave the office.

And just as he was about to step out of the company's door, a sweet and tender voice suddenly rang in his ears, "President Chen... are you going out?"

Chen Yan looked towards the voice and saw Yang Nuannuan.

He smiled and nodded, "Yes."

Yang Nuannuan widened her eyes with curiosity and asked, "Then, will you be coming back in the afternoon?"

Chen Yan weighed his words for a moment, shaking his head.

He did want to come back, but Lu Man... probably wouldn't let him go.

However, after giving his reply, he asked back, "Do you need something?"

Yang Nuannuan smiled tenderly, not showing the slightest abnormality.

She said, "Nothing much. I need to go to class in the afternoon. But my mom isn't in the company, and I didn't know who to ask for leave."

Chen Yan suddenly understood.

Before, Yang Nuannuan always followed Yang Rou, and she would report everything directly to Yang Rou. Now that Yang Rou wasn't here, and no one was in charge of her, she indeed had a problem with dealing with her attendance.

So Chen Yan said, "No problem. It's fine as long as I know."

"You can go back to school and focus. Your studies are the most important."

Yang Nuannuan nodded affirmatively with a soft "mm-hmm."

Chen Yan didn't dwell on it and left the company.

First, he went downstairs to buy Lu Man, the little fairy, her desired lunch, and then Chen Yan drove to Lu Man's villa.

Upon arriving at Lu Man's villa, Chen Yan parked the car, carrying the spare ribs and rice he had bought, and pressed the doorbell.

No one answered inside the house.

Chen Yan waited a moment, then pressed the doorbell again.

After a while, still no response.

Chen Yan found it strange.

'This shouldn't be...?'

'The little fairy calls me over to her house and then she goes out?'

As he thought this, Chen Yan put down the items, intending to call Lu Man.

But just as he was about to call, he suddenly noticed that the door wasn't closed tightly—it was ajar.

'Huh? Could it be that Lu Man left the door open for me?'

'Some kind of new fun?'

With this thought, Chen Yan's curiosity was piqued.

He picked up the spare ribs and rice and pushed open the villa's door, walking inside.

Once inside, Chen Yan realized something was amiss.

Because the villa was a mess, things and documents were strewn all over the floor, and some cups and plates were even thrown on the ground, some shattered into several pieces.

Chen Yan felt a shock in his heart, a bad premonition rising within him.

He put the spare ribs and rice on the ground, then frantically began searching the house, calling out, "Man Man? Man Man? Where are you?"

Fortunately, as Chen Yan called out, a weak voice came from the second floor, "Chen, Chen Yan? Chen Yan, is that you?"

Hearing Lu Man's voice, Chen Yan hurriedly made his way upstairs, asking, "Man Man? Where are you?"

Lu Man's weak voice said, "Chen, Chen Yan. I'm in the second bedroom on the upper floor."

Upon hearing Lu Man's words, Chen Yan rushed up the stairs.

As he ran, he anxiously asked, "Are you okay? What's happened?"

However, Lu Man, who had previously responded, was now silent.

When he didn't hear Lu Man's voice, Chen Yan sharply sensed that something seemed even more wrong!

But it was too late!

As he reached the second floor, suddenly, a hand reached out from around the corner.

The hand was holding a fluffy pink handcuff, and with a "click," it locked onto Chen Yan's wrist.

Chen Yan let out a questioning "hmm?" as he started to resist.

But before he could react, the other half of the handcuff was clamped onto his other wrist.

"Click!"

In an instant, Chen Yan was cuffed.

At that moment, Lu Man's intentionally sinister laughter sounded in his ears, "Wah ha ha~ I told you so! Fresh meat!"

"Indeed! Keeping that little girl was the right choice!"

"This is called encircling Wei to save Zhao!"

Chen Yan followed the voice and saw Lu Man wearing a set of shabby burlap clothes, her beautiful and fair face adorned with two fake moustaches, wearing a rather plain-looking hat, and she was looking at him with a mischievous grin.

It must be said that natural beauty is hard to hide; even when she purposefully tried to look ugly, there was still a unique charm about her.

Seeing Lu Man in this state, Chen Yan's heart relaxed at once.

So, this is another role-playing game, huh?

What's the scenario this time?

A bandit and a hostage?

But why would a bandit have handcuffs?!

And pink ones at that!

Chen Yan looked at Lu Man with a slightly resigned expression and said, "I say, Your Highness, can't we at least maintain some semblance of the script?"

"Directly cuffing me, what's this supposed to mean?"

As he spoke, he slightly exerted force, trying to break free.

But who could have known that the handcuffs Lu Man bought were those novelty ones, low quality. He applied pressure and heard a "crack" sound, and it seemed like they were about to break due to Chen Yan's efforts.

Seeing this, Lu Man hurried over, covering Chen Yan's hands, and said in a girlish voice, "Don't break them! I bought them with such difficulty!"

Chen Yan: ...

Lu Man brought her hands together, pouting her lips, and with an aggrieved tone said, "Chen Yan, just play with me for a bit~ It's been a long time since you played with me, and I'm so bored."

Chen Yan's heart softened at the sight of Lu Man looking so pitiable. He sighed and relented, "Alright... alright."

Who else would dote on his little fairy if not him?

And at the very moment Chen Yan agreed, Lu Man's face immediately returned to that bandit's expression.

She reached under Chen Yan, took hold, and said triumphantly, "Come on! Little girl! Tell your grandpa where you're from?"

"Just speak nicely, and grandpa might consider giving you a thrill!"

Chen Yan: ...

Chen Yan increasingly felt that agreeing might have been a mistake....

....

After some frolicking with Lu Man, Chen Yan finally ended this role-playing session.

Lu Man, the little fairy, was akin to an addictive drug; obsessed with role-playing, she played the part of the bandit, continuously teasing and seducing Chen Yan, the "delicate and beautiful" "pure young maiden."

She was full of flirty talk and acted with great gusto.

Initially, both of them were quite serious, playing out their parts.

But gradually, as Lu Man began to use "torture" to interrogate Chen Yan, things took a kinky turn.

As usual, they did pretty much everything that was and wasn't supposed to be done, only stopping short of taking the final step...

Chen Yan wasn't particularly in a hurry.

One, Lu Man didn't leave him wanting; she always made sure he was satisfied.

Two, he preferred things to happen naturally.

After all, Lu Man was very cooperative with everything else, but she got very scared every time it came down to the crucial moment.

Chen Yan didn't want to force her into doing something she wasn't comfortable with.

This kind of thing... is best enjoyed when both are fully engaged...

And Chen Yan always felt that with Lu Man's playful nature, sooner or later while playing, they would accidentally set things off.

After all, with her current high favorability score of over 190, it should soon be maxed out. There wasn't much that could stop them from a deeper interaction anymore.

The only barrier left was her inner worry and fear about the first time.

After their playful interlude, they tidy up a bit and head downstairs.

Seeing Chen Yan got her favorite spare ribs and rice, Lu Man was so happy that she hugged him and gave him a kiss, "Muah~ Chen Yan, you're the best."

After saying that, she bounced off like a joyful bird to get the takeaway boxes.

Chen Yan felt a bit tired after more than an hour of exertion. He yawned, sat on the couch, and watched as Lu Man arranged everything.

Then, they began to eat.

While eating, they also chatted.

Chen Yan asked, "You said you had some serious business with me?"

By this time, Lu Man had removed the fake mustache, and her attire of shabby burlap clothes didn't make her look poor but rather gave her an air of Zhou Xun in her youth—quirky and full of spirit.

She gave Chen Yan a playful look with her expressive eyes and coquettishly said, "Isn't being with me a serious matter?"

When a woman asks such a question, she's looking to be coddled.

So Chen Yan smiled and said, "Of course it is."

Sure enough, Chen Yan's answer pleased Lu Man. She threw him a wink and said, "But you know, there's actually a serious matter I wanted to talk to you about today~"
