Chapter 169 - 116: Three Days Without a Beating, and They’ll Tear the Roof Off
Xu Yun: "..."
’Wait, she’s just going to start touching me?’
Perhaps Zhang Jiaxin also realized the gesture was a bit intimate.
After she was done, she explained, slightly embarrassed, "I just wanted to feel if your abdominal muscles were starting to get hard.
For defined abs to show, the muscles have to slowly firm up."
"..." Xu Yun.
’I don’t know if my abs are getting hard from you touching them like this, but if you keep it up for much longer, something else is definitely going to.’
Xu Yun smiled and asked, "So, after feeling them, are they starting to get hard?"
"There are some signs. That’s a good thing."
Zhang Jiaxin said, "If we just stick with it for another half a month, I estimate the basic lines of your abs will start to show.
If you want better and faster results, you can also take some protein powder before and after your workouts."
Xu Yun had heard about taking protein powder before.
He asked with some curiosity, "Is that stuff any good?"
"Well, it’s mainly for bodybuilders, for sculpting. There’s no harm in taking it."
Zhang Jiaxin continued, "But of course, muscles built that way don’t have the same quality as ones you develop naturally."
"I get it. So, protein powder helps you build the muscle shape you want faster, but the muscle quality is just average.
All show and no go, right?"
Zhang Jiaxin nodded. "That’s basically it."
"Then forget it. I’m not in a rush. I’ll just train slowly."
After they finished talking, Xu Yun said, "Come on, it’s quitting time. I’ll give you a ride home. I’ve kept you for so long."
"Not at all. You bought my sessions, so this is just me doing my job."
Zhang Jiaxin then asked, "Oh, right, you didn’t have your swimming lesson today, did you? Do you still want to?"
"Sun Yi isn’t here, so let’s just skip it."
"It’s fine, I can teach you."
Zhang Jiaxin said, "I’m not as good a swimmer as she is, but I know how."
"But the gym should be closing soon, right?"
"It’s fine. I have a key."
Zhang Jiaxin smiled. "We can stay as late as we want. Want to go?"
"Nah, I’m a bit tired today."
Xu Yun knew what she was up to and directly refused.
"Oh, okay then." A hint of disappointment showed in Zhang Jiaxin’s eyes.
She had been hoping to deepen their connection by spending some time alone together.
Leaving the gym, Xu Yun led Zhang Jiaxin to the garage and got into his new car, a Continental GT.
Seeing another brand-new, even more beautiful black Bentley coupe, Zhang Jiaxin asked in surprise, "Mr. Xu, you got a new car again?"
"Yeah."
"This car... how much was it?"
"A little over three million."
Zhang Jiaxin: "..."
She looked at the new car, which didn’t even have license plates yet, and said happily, "Am I the first person to ride in your car?"
"You are."
Xu Yun said without batting an eye, "You’re the first woman to sit in my passenger seat."
"Ah, really? I’m so honored."
Hearing this, Zhang Jiaxin’s heart began to beat a little faster for some reason.
’He must like me! That’s why he’s letting me be the first woman in his passenger seat!’
Xu Yun reminded her, "Buckle up. We’re heading out."
Throughout the drive, Zhang Jiaxin was happy and excited, even taking out her phone to take selfies and post on her Moments.
In the picture, she intentionally yet casually revealed the big "B" logo.
[Even though I got off work a bit late today, someone gave me a ride home. So happy.]
Sun Yi was out eating with the receptionist, Wang Sisi. Suddenly, Wang Sisi was scrolling through her Moments and saw Zhang Jiaxin’s post, spotting the big "B" logo at a glance.
"Sun Yi, quick, look at Zhang Jiaxin’s Moments."
She said with a hint of envy, "It looks like she’s in a Bentley."
"How is that possible?"
Sun Yi said scornfully, "None of her clients drive a Bentley."
"It’s true! See for yourself if you don’t believe me."
Puzzled, Sun Yi opened her own Moments and, sure enough, saw the conspicuous big B logo.
But her eyes were sharper and more observant than Wang Sisi’s; she actually saw Xu Yun in the reflection on the back of the phone in the picture.
"See? I wasn’t lying, was I?"
"Yeah, I see it."
Sun Yi’s expression soured. "It must be Brother Xu’s car. Among her clients, only Xu Yun can afford a car like that."
"Sigh, how did Zhang Jiaxin get so lucky to run into Brother Xu?"
Wang Sisi said, "He’s her private client, and now he’s driving her home in the middle of the night. Do you think they’ve already hooked up?"
"Even if they have, I’m going to steal him away."
Sun Yi said, unconvinced, "I don’t believe it. As long as I’m a little more proactive, there’s no way I can’t win him over from her."
"How are you going to be proactive?"
Wang Sisi teased with a smile, "You’re not just going to climb into his bed, are you? For a rich guy like him, who knows how many women want to do that. It won’t be easy."
"How will I know if I don’t try?"
Sun Yi immediately pulled out Xu Yun’s WeChat and sent him a message.
[Brother Xu, are you free? I drank too much tonight. Can you come pick me up and take me home?]
In the car, Xu Yun heard a notification sound. He glanced at the lit-up screen, saw it was from Sun Yi, and immediately lost interest.
Zhang Jiaxin reminded him, "Brother Xu, it looks like you got a message."
"Can you check it for me? See what it is."
"Huh?"
’A man, willing to let a woman look at his phone...’
’What does that mean?’
’This is trust! He doesn’t see me as a stranger!’
Now, Zhang Jiaxin was even more certain that Xu Yun had feelings for her.
She obediently reached into the center console, took out the phone, and found that it didn’t even have a passcode. It unlocked with a single swipe.
