Chapter 274 Yang Nuannuan's palace schemes...
When Yang Nuannuan heard Chen Yan calling her, she couldn't help but stop.
She turned around, looked at Chen Yan confusedly with her watery eyes, and asked, "Chen, ahem, Mr. Chen. What's wrong?"
She really seemed to have a cold. Not only did her voice have a nasal sound, but she also coughed twice for every sentence she spoke.
Chen Yan looked at the girl in front of him.
I have some doubts in my mind.
He still remembered the strange personality that Yang Nuannuan had shown towards him the previous times when Yang Rou was not at home.
I also remember that Yang Nuannuan always appeared in front of me in the next two days. It was as if she had some idea about me...
And... he still remembered that these past two days, he always felt that someone was spying on him.
Although Chen Yan didn't quite believe that a good girl like Yang Nuannuan would peep at him.
However, compared to Yang Rou, who has always been devoted to her career, Yang Nuannuan, who has behaved abnormally several times, is obviously much more suspicious.
Therefore, Chen Yan has been looking for an opportunity to test her.
Now that Yang Nuannuan is sick, Chen Yan thinks... maybe he can take this opportunity to test it out?
After all, although Chen Yan was not interested in Yang Nuannuan, she had too many identities.
As the daughter of Chen Yan's right-hand man, and Yu Qiaoqiao's roommate, if there is really something wrong with such a multi-identity character, then Chen Yan should really pay attention to it.
And... taking a step back, even if nothing was found out, considering her "important" status, now that she was sick, Chen Yan should also take care of her a little bit out of consideration.
So, thinking of this, Chen Yan no longer hesitated. He looked at Yang Nuannuan and said, "I see you don't seem to be feeling well. Let me drive you home."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yang Nuannuan quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, Mr. Chen. This is too much trouble for you."
She covered her mouth and coughed again, and said, "I, cough, cough, I can just take a taxi back by myself."
"When you get home, drink some hot water and take a good sleep, and you should be fine."
As she spoke, she bowed slightly to Chen Yan again, and then said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. Don't worry."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
She didn't look like she was playing hard to get, but she was really afraid of troubling Chen Yan.
Chen Yan looked at her in confusion: Could it be that... I was overthinking. In fact, she was not interested in me? Wasn't she the one who peeped at me before?
After hesitating again, Chen Yan felt that he couldn't make a judgment so easily, so he took two quick steps and then walked to the elevator door.
He said succinctly, "I'd better take you there."
"If Sister Rou knew you were sick and I didn't care, she might come to my office and sit in silence again."
Hearing Chen Yan talk about her mother's protest, Yang Nuannuan couldn't help but smile weakly.
Because she was wearing a mask, Chen Yan could only see her eyes. When she smiled, her gentle temperament became even more fragile.
Looking at her smile, Chen Yan's doubts were once again dispelled: She smiles so beautifully, so... she shouldn't have any bad intentions...
But what he didn't see was... when Chen Yan finally walked into the elevator with him, Yang Nuannuan's mouth curled up into a "successful" smile under the mask...
…
last night.
In a high-end apartment near Fenghua Building, Yang Nuannuan’s home.
Yang Rou was sitting at the dining table, typing away on the computer.
Yang Nuannuan came to her with a glass of milk and wearing a tight thermal suit.
She was wearing glasses and was the most obedient girl. So she considerately placed the milk on Yang Rou's table and said gently, "Mommy, don't be busy so late all the time. You should also take a proper rest."
Yang Rou's eyes were still on the laptop screen, and she said in a cold voice, "No. These few days are the critical time for the variety show project. I have to go to the provincial capital this week to have the final negotiations with the TV station."
"This plan must be revised tonight."
Hearing Yang Rou 's words, Yang Nuannuan's eyes behind her glasses gleamed. She looked at her mother and asked curiously, "Has it progressed to this point?"
Yang Rou nodded, "Yes. So now is the critical moment."
Having said that, she typed a few more words, and then... suddenly stopped.
She looked up at Yang Nuannuan as if she had just remembered her , and then asked, "Nuannuan... you seem to have been staying at home recently?"
She recalled, "It seems... I haven't lived in the dormitory for nearly half a month, right?"
"Did you have a fight with your roommate?"
Yang Nuannuan smiled gently, and with her glasses covering her face, no one could tell anything was wrong. "No."
"How could that be? I have always had a very good relationship with my classmates since I was a child."
She paused and explained, "It's just that the weather is cold now, and the heating in the dormitory is not enough, so I want to go back home."
"Besides...I also want to spend more time with Mommy."
Yang Nuannuan's reasons were well-reasoned and Yang Rou felt they made sense, so she didn't take them seriously and continued to work.
She continued typing with both hands while advising, "Then take good care of yourself these few days. If you have any problems, remember to ask Mr. Chen for help."
Chen Yan nodded obediently, "Okay. Mommy..."
Putting down the milk, Yang Nuannuan went back to her room humming a song.
Back in the room, the singing voice in Yang Nuannuan's mouth disappeared, and her face gradually lost its expression...
She took off her glasses, put them aside, and sighed deeply.
She...actually, she didn't want to go back to live there because the dormitory was cold, but because...there were two people in the dormitory whom she least wanted to face.
Both of them were her best friends, but now... one is the child of her enemy, and the other is someone she feels guilty about.
If there is only one, she can try to wear a mask and slowly get used to it and adapt to it.
But now that both of them are here, she is really exhausted.
So, I just go to school when I have classes, and stay at home or in the company at other times.
In fact, for Yang Nuannuan, this sudden change in her life made her feel a little empty at first.
But it wasn't long before she found something to fill her life: observing old stories and writing new books...
The previous contacts with Chen Yan and the throbbing in her heart made Yang Nuannuan realize that she seemed to have developed some feelings for Chen Yan that went beyond friendship.
This is also the reason why she feels a little guilty towards Yu Qiaoqiao.
But... who is she? She is Yang Nuannuan, who has lived with a mask for more than ten years and is rational enough to disguise a second personality!
So, she directly took advantage of her feelings and wrote a new one.
She felt that her experience of living with two faces for more than a decade was very "legendary", and Chen Yan's history of making a fortune was also very epic, so she decided to use herself and Chen Yan as the prototypes of the male and female protagonists, and process and create...
Soon, with what happened with Chen Yan some time ago as the prototype, Yang Nuannuan successfully finished writing the opening tens of thousands of words.
Apart from the opening scene where she and Chen Yan were drunk and making love, Yang Nuannuan was a little uncomfortable: when she was writing, her cheeks flushed, her eyes moistened, and she squeezed her legs together because she imagined all kinds of postures and touches with Chen Yan, but there were no other twists and turns.
And now, she had just written the plot where the male and female protagonists had their first confrontation. She was originally worrying about how to write next, but she didn't expect that her mother was going on a business trip.
Yang Nuannuan felt that this was a godsend! If she and Chen Yan could spend some more time alone together, she would have some ideas for the plot later, right?
Sitting on the bed, Yang Nuannuan, who was not wearing glasses, was thinking about how she could create an opportunity to be alone with Chen Yan...
She thought about it for a long time, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she thought of... being sick.
So...that night, after Yang Rou fell asleep, in the middle of winter, Yang Nuannuan went to the bathroom and took a cold shower.
Back in bed, she was shivering with cold, her face a little pale.
But even so, she still half-opened the window and only covered herself with a thin quilt...
She knew that her mother would pass away early the next morning and would not know that she was sick.
When the time comes, I will go find Chen Yan. With Chen Yan's personality and the fact that she is Yang Rou's daughter and Qiao Qiao's roommate, Chen Yan will not ignore me...
She even thought deeper.
She knew that she had appeared next to Chen Yan several times before, which had already made Chen Yan aware of something unusual. So she... had to retreat in order to advance, which led to her repeated rejections today and Chen Yan's taking the bait...
…
With Chen Yan's repeated insistence, Yang Nuannuan finally got into Chen Yan's car and returned to the apartment.
On the road, Yang Nuannuan behaved very quietly and well-behaved throughout.
Even when getting in the car, she took the initiative to ask to sit in the back seat, saying that the front passenger seat was the place only Qiaoqiao could sit.
While driving, Chen Yan also glanced at her through the rearview mirror several times, and found that she was playing with her mobile phone in a daze and not paying attention to him.
This further reduced Chen Yan's suspicion that Yang Nuannuan was the one who peeped at him.
He even suspected that he overthinking: the mother and daughter next door, one was as tough as ice, the other was as gentle as water, neither of them looked like a peeping Tom...
Could it be that... I have also developed that classic man's problem: doubting that every woman likes me?
After thinking about it for a while and coming to no conclusion, Chen Yan was too lazy to think about it anymore.
He thought that if it was Yang Nuannuan, he would know by using the [Inner Earphones], and when he went to her house and created an opportunity, he would listen to her inner voice...
