My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 468 A Love Letter to Someone

He Mengxue’s messages clearly had been sent a long time ago.

At first, she was asking if Chen Yan was there?

After four or five minutes, seeing that Chen Yan hadn’t replied, she sent a cute cheek-propping emoticon, and then she sent a photo.

The photo was of the blue sky and white clouds she had taken.

The clouds looked layered upon each other with the ones at the front being gray and the ones behind being blue. It was very beautiful.

She sent her second sentence, "Today’s clouds are so pretty, I wanted to take a photo for you. But thinking that you can’t see them in person suddenly makes the clouds seem less pretty to me."

Watching the girl’s sweet nothings, a smile involuntarily spread across Chen Yan’s face.

No matter when, He Mengxue always brought him a lot of joy.

He continued scrolling down.

Maybe because even so, Chen Yan hadn’t replied.

He Mengxue began to send emoticons again.

First, she sent a cute "questioning" emoticon.

Then, she sent a "knocking" emoticon.

After that, she sent a "are you there?" inquiry emoticon.

It looked like, since Chen Yan had not been replying to her, she got a bit bored.

So, in the end, she sent another WeChat message,

"When you’re not around, I just don’t have the mood to work. I only want to open a noodle shop below our skyscraper, selling ramen exclusively. The name of the shop will be ’Hoping for a Chance to Meet’."

Seeing another set of He Mengxue’s sweet nothings, Chen Yan couldn’t help but shake his head with laughter.

He felt like He Mengxue’s image in his heart was really starting to crumble.

A rich family young lady, a business elite, and now she was playing around with these "earthy" love lines every day.

Even if he quite enjoyed it, facing this sort of love lines, Chen Yan really had no desire to reply.

However, just at that moment, Chen Yan scrolled down a bit more.

And then...

He arrived at the last photo.

There was nothing else in the photo, no clouds, no trees, nor earthy love lines. Just a pair of long legs with the skirt pulled up to the thighs...

Those legs were fair and straight, combined with the black stockings she was wearing, they were simply captivating.

Chen Yan couldn’t help but blurt out, "Damn!"

Then he took a closer look, confirming that the legs He Mengxue had sent were not from the internet, but were her own.

Because... Chen Yan had touched them before.

So, Chen Yan who had not wanted to reply just a moment ago, suddenly coughed, then picked up his phone, and typed out a line of text with lightning speed,

"I was thoughtless before. I often didn’t reply to your messages. I saw the photo you just sent, can I get another chance?"

...........

Today, He Mengxue was actually a bit bored.

Although she had two companies in her hands, and their valuations were the highest within the entire group, after all, she had her cousin Qin Ming.

Before, when she hadn’t given Qin Ming a chance, He Mengxue thought that this cousin of hers was somewhat clever, capable of handling many small matters.

But after giving Qin Ming a chance, she then realized that this cousin of hers seemed to be extraordinary.

Everything became orderly once it reached his hands.

Not only was his work methodical and efficiency high, but he also handled everything very perfectly.

Even managing assets worth tens of billions, he could do it with ease.

So when business matters reached He Mengxue’s hands, all she needed to do was to sign her name.

She felt that work had never been so relaxed before.

This also made her want to find something to do.

Then, the simplest, most convenient thing to do of course was to chat with Chen Yan, to continue her "Chen Yan Conquest".

So, while crafting love lines with her literary skills, she sent WeChat messages to Chen Yan.

But perhaps he was busy because the normally quick-responding Chen Yan hadn’t replied for a long time this time.

He Mengxue didn’t hurry, but she thought: sending more messages would make Chen Yan feel more valued when he saw them.

Thus, she began to send one message after another.

But her messages were like stones sinking in the sea, getting no response whatsoever.

Then, she had a sudden inspiration, and pulled her skirt up a bit before snapping a photo of her legs.

Sure enough... Chen Yan replied in just a few minutes.

Seeing Chen Yan’s message, He Mengxue blushed and spat lightly, "Shameless. He just likes this."

However, due to an accident, He Mengxue remembered Chen Yan’s "preference", as if she knew how to get the fastest reply from him.....

......

After chatting with He Mengxue for a few words, Chen Yan, who had been feeling not very good after the incident at Yang Rou’s home, gradually felt much better.

He Mengxue didn’t really have anything to look for him about.

According to He Mengxue herself, it was just... making her presence felt.

This really made Chen Yan laugh and cry.

This girl, she’s just bored, so she’s looking for a chat with him.

But after all, the girl had become Chen Yan’s Virtual Girlfriend. Invest in her, and expenses would be reimbursed. She could be considered Chen Yan’s meal ticket.

So Chen Yan also chatted with He Mengxue for a while, and after assigning some work to the silly young lady, he stopped chatting.....

.......

After finishing all this, Chen Yan finally had time to do what he had been wanting to do.

He planned to find Yang Nuan Nuan to chat, to see if he could find out about her current state, and help her resolve the conflict between her and Yang Rou.

And just as Chen Yan was about to exit WeChat and log into his QQ alt account to find Yang Nuan Nuan’s alt.

Suddenly, he found a very familiar avatar icon in his moments feed: it indicated a post from someone he knew.

Chen Yan clicked on it on a whim.

The moments refreshed.

In a moment, the first post with that familiar avatar appeared in front of Chen Yan.

Because the avatar was enlarged, Chen Yan was surprised to see why it was familiar; it was Yang Nuan Nuan’s avatar.

Yang Nuan Nuan’s avatar was a black and white cartoon character, looking a bit gloomy and quite conspicuous, so Chen Yan had noticed it before.

Chen Yan looked at the moment Yang Nuan Nuan had posted.

It was a very strange sentence.

"A lonely city is fitting for wandering, alone and empty..."

The image attached was a photo of an empty street from the internet.

Chen Yan paused.

Was Yang Nuan Nuan traveling?

He hadn’t heard anything about it.

But... her sudden post, was she trying to express something to Yang Rou?

Chen Yan still remembered, Yang Rou had said Yang Nuan Nuan hadn’t posted on moments for over half a year.

Now on the second day after the mother and daughter argued, she had posted this moment; she probably wanted to convey something to her own mother, right?

While he was thinking about it, Chen Yan clicked on Yang Nuan Nuan’s avatar, wanting to take a look at her moments.

After clicking in, Chen Yan was suddenly stunned.

Because... Yang Nuan Nuan’s moments weren’t "empty" as he had seen at Yang Rou’s place but had a post every few days.

Chen Yan scrolled down sequentially.

Some were photos of books, with the caption saying today’s lesson feels a bit difficult. The sunlight is spilling on me, warm and cozy...

Some were pictures of campus scenery, expressing that spring always comes a bit late, perhaps because winter lingers, unwilling to leave?

Some were snapshots of her futures trading account, musing that she always thought if she tried a little harder, things might be different...

Overall, they were shares about moods or life.

And Chen Yan kept scrolling down, over a dozen posts until the last one, and only then did the message appear, "This moment is visible for only half a year."

This meant that Yang Rou hadn’t been mistaken.

Yang Nuan Nuan’s moments were indeed "visible for only half a year", but the issue was... during those half a year, she hadn’t failed to post moments. Rather, she had posted but had not shown them to Yang Rou.

Chen Yan’s brow furrowed.

He felt that things were becoming more difficult to manage.

If Yang Nuan Nuan still retained the habit of posting moments, still sharing her life, but had specifically blocked Yang Rou,

That indicated that her internal conflict with Yang Rou was extremely significant.

If Chen Yan went to talk to her about the past, or to defend Yang Rou. Yang Nuan Nuan might become more rebellious, even more convinced that her mother had issues, too controlling.

"How am I supposed to handle this..."

Chen Yan pondered for a while, then exited WeChat and gave Yu Qiao Qiao a call.

Regardless, Yang Nuan Nuan’s identity was too unique: she was Yu Qiao Qiao’s and Zhao Ying’s close friend, roommate, Yang Rou’s daughter, and Zhao Qingtian’s "pseudo-daughter".

Once Chen Yan moved against Zhao Qingtian, because of the misunderstanding not being resolved, if she did something in between, it would be very troublesome later.

In addition, after hearing what Yang Rou and Lu Man had said, Chen Yan also felt somewhat sorry for this girl with a pitiful background. So he still wanted to try his best to make this girl’s life have some improvements and changes.

And now, faced with this tricky situation, Chen Yan felt it more appropriate to contact Yu Qiao Qiao for some information about Yang Nuan Nuan and to understand her views on Yang Rou. He thought it would be better to make some preparations than to go directly to Yang Nuan Nuan for a talk.

Thinking this way, Chen Yan dialed Yu Qiao Qiao’s number.

Shortly after, the call connected.

The boss’s cute voice came through.

Maybe because Chen Yan had taken the initiative to call, Yu Qiao Qiao was very happy. Her voice was even buoyant, "Chen Yan, you’re looking for me?"

Hearing Yu Qiao Qiao’s tone, Chen Yan couldn’t help but smile as well, "Yes. You’re not busy, are you?"

Yu Qiao Qiao said, "Nope~ I am helping out at Brother Ying’s newspaper"

She continued, "Brother Ying’s newspaper subscription numbers are growing, so the quality of the news being emitted is demanded to be higher and higher."

"They needed someone for text layout."

"So they conscripted me~."

Listening to Yu Qiao Qiao’s words, Chen Yan smiled.

He thought it was a good thing for Boss Qiao Qiao to have more contact with people. It would help to build her confidence and self-expression.

Especially in the past six months, Yu Qiao Qiao had been around Brother Ying, the social media phenomenon, every day. Chen Yan could clearly feel that she seemed to have gained more confidence.

Therefore, he did not object but instead brought up the matter regarding Yang Nuan Nuan.

He did not go into too much detail, merely asking what Yang Nuan Nuan had been up to lately, how her mood was, and if she had spoken to her roommates about Yang Rou.

However, it was obvious that Yang Nuan Nuan was the reticent type. When she wanted to keep something hidden, there would be no sign of it.

Therefore, even though Yu Qiao Qiao answered each question earnestly, she didn’t provide any valuable information.

By the end of the conversation, Chen Yan was a bit disappointed.

He felt that if even Yu Qiao Qiao couldn’t provide any useful information, then he might need to slow down his plans.

He thought he should first probe Yang Nuan Nuan about Yang Rou, then try to tell the truth about the past...

Quietly making up his mind, Chen Yan was ready to hang up the call.

But as he said goodbye, Chen Yan remembered something that could possibly provide information.

He asked, "Oh, by the way, Qiao Qiao. The moments Yang Nuan Nuan has been posting recently, are they all from your school? Did she take them herself? Or were they taken while she was with you?"

When Chen Yan asked this, Yu Qiao Qiao on the phone was also puzzled. She paused for a moment and then replied, "Moments?"

"You mean Sister Nuan Nuan’s Moments?"

Chen Yan hummed in affirmation, "Yes. Her Moments."

Continuing, Chen Yan asked, "Is there any problem?"

Yu Qiao Qiao fell silent for a while, then with a puzzled voice said, "Chen Yan... Sister Nuan Nuan hasn’t posted on Moments for half a year."

She said, "I just checked WeChat again. Her Moments are all blank for the past six months. No information."

"Huh?" Chen Yan was befuddled.

Perplexity filled his eyes.

He opened WeChat and looked at Yang Nuan Nuan’s fully stocked Moments.

After that, he asked, "Is Yang Nuan Nuan’s profile picture a black-and-white cartoon character?"

Yu Qiao Qiao on the phone replied, "Yes, that’s right."

Chen Yan opened Yang Nuan Nuan’s profile picture and read out her WeChat ID, "Is this the WeChat ID?"

Yu Qiao Qiao confirmed again, "Yes. That’s the one."

Now Chen Yan was baffled.

He opened Yang Nuan Nuan’s Moments again.

There was a WeChat post every few days, neat and tidy. It was just like how Yang Rou had described Yang Nuan Nuan’s "fondness for and habit of sharing her life".

But... why couldn’t Yang Rou and Yu Qiao Qiao see this Moments feed?

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment.

Suddenly, a shocking thought emerged in his mind.

He quickly exchanged a few words with Yu Qiao Qiao, then hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Chen Yan found his secondary WeChat account and added Yang Nuan Nuan, writing the note as [HR from the company, adding you as per boss’s request].

...

Meanwhile, at Qin Island University.

Gossip Society.

Yu Qiao Qiao hung up the phone with a puzzled look.

She muttered softly, "Weird~ Chen Yan is acting so strange."

"Sister Nuan Nuan posted on Moments? No, she didn’t."

Just then, Zhao Ying walked by humming a tune, hands in his pockets.

Yu Qiao Qiao quickly called out to him, "Brother Ying."

Zhao Ying turned around.

Yu Qiao Qiao looked up with an adorable expression and asked, "Brother Ying, has Sister Nuan Nuan posted on Moments recently?"

Zhao Ying had a question mark pop up above his head, "How would I know? I’m so busy every day. I don’t care about such trivial matters."

Yu Qiao Qiao responded with an "Oh~" then said, "Can I take a look at your phone then?"

Zhao Ying nonchalantly took out his phone and tossed it to Yu Qiao Qiao.

Yu Qiao Qiao didn’t catch it...

But luckily, it only fell onto the table.

She hastily fumbled to pick up the phone.

As she weakly complained about Zhao Ying’s carelessness, she opened his WeChat.

Found Yang Nuan Nuan’s WeChat ID and clicked in.

Yang Nuan Nuan’s Moments were still starkly empty, just a note that said [These Moments are only visible for the last six months].

Yu Qiao Qiao confirmed, "Hmm~ Definitely Chen Yan was mistaken. Sister Nuan Nuan never posted on Moments."

...

At that moment, having just been added by Yang Nuan Nuan as a friend, Chen Yan, looking at Yang Nuan Nuan’s empty Moments, also affirmed something: it wasn’t that Yang Rou couldn’t see Yang Nuan Nuan’s Moments. It was only me... who could see them?

Were all these posts she made... visible only to me?

That is to say: her habit of sharing her life hadn’t changed, it’s just... quietly become something she shared with me alone?

For some reason, Chen Yan felt internally touched.

Because Yang Nuan Nuan had never mentioned this to him.

He also had never paid attention to Yang Nuan Nuan’s Moments.

Or to put it another way, if not for this incident, he might have never seen these Moments for his entire life.

Or even if he had seen them, he would’ve just thought they were just a regular feed of moments.

But who knew.

In fact, this was a diary written silently by Yang Nuan Nuan, a shared diary written for herself...

Sharing her own life.

Sharing her experiences.

To the person she liked the most.

Regardless, of whether that person could see it or not...

While feeling this indescribable emotion inside, Chen Yan switched to his primary WeChat account, then took another look at Yang Nuan Nuan’s Moments.

Previously, because he didn’t take it seriously, he had skimmed through them.

But now upon close inspection, Chen Yan realized that Yang Nuan Nuan wasn’t merely sharing her life.

Occasionally, her posts were interspersed with some odd phrases.

[Heard someone likes sweet things, learned a dish these nights. Eating it, it’s as if that person is beside me.]

[I always thought some things, some people had been forgotten. But inadvertently, I keep being reminded— "Not at all."]

[Unforgettable things are like the stars, they’re particularly...]

[Watched a movie. The leading actor looks like someone. But not as handsome as that person.]

As he read through Yang Nuan Nuan’s Moments, Chen Yan felt particularly choked up inside.

He didn’t understand why he felt like this.

Maybe this was the first time he had seen a girl behave this way toward him.

Even though they both liked him, Yang Nuan Nuan and He Mengxue’s approaches were completely different.

He Mengxue’s confession was straightforward, while after being rejected and misunderstood by him several times, Yang Nuan Nuan had hidden everything in her heart.

Then, she was quietly, carefully, expressing her affection through these wordless messages in a Moments feed only visible to him.

This completely overturned Chen Yan’s impression of Yang Nuan Nuan.

For the first time, he discovered just how delicate and sensitive Yang Nuan Nuan became after staying silent.

Initially, he just thought of using his alt account to talk to Yang Nuan Nuan about the past.

But, with this upheaval, he even started to wonder how he should approach her.

And while he was pondering this, his secondary WeChat account also received a message from Yang Nuan Nuan,

[Hello. Are you from the company’s HR department? Did boss Chen ask you to find me for something?]

Looking at the message on his secondary account, Chen Yan fell into silence.
