After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 100

Chapter 100: Enemies Meet, Eyes Burn with Extra Hate

TL: YYang

The next day.

Shen Yuan woke up groggily. The coach by his pillow was already gone. He subconsciously picked up his phone to check the time; it was already 8:30.

But Coach Liu had a fitness background, so she recovered quickly. Since she had to help Shen Yuan work out today, she had woken up early to go back and get her gym clothes.

Shen Yuan stretched and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at the river view and the tall buildings in the distance, he felt inexplicably refreshed.

After a simple wash-up, Liu Menglu had already returned to the executive suite. She had changed into yoga pants and a fitness tank top, her hair tied in a ponytail, looking clean and neat.

She was carrying two Nike shopping bags and an insulated bag.

“You’re up. I got up at 6:30 today and even prepared your morning and noon fitness meals. The hotel breakfast is too high in calories.”

Liu Menglu opened the insulated bag and took out the lunch boxes inside. “There’s lean beef, chicken breast, eggs, avocado, broccoli…”

Shen Yuan smiled. “Quite a spread.”

“Luckily, I had enough ingredients at home. Otherwise, if I had to go to the market to buy them, it would have been too late.”

Shen Yuan sat down at the dining table and patted her full buttocks. “Thanks for your hard work, Coach.”

“It’s good that you know I worked hard. You’re not allowed to torment me like last night anymore.”

Liu Menglu pouted.

“Just torment?”

“No other feelings?”

Shen Yuan carefully recalled.

“Mmm…”

Liu Menglu’s pretty face blushed. She felt it was a bit shameful to say it out loud, so she changed the subject. “Alright, hurry up and eat. We’re going to work out after you finish.”

After Shen Yuan finished his breakfast, he changed into the fitness tank top, quick-drying sports pants, and sports shoes that Liu Menglu had bought. Then the two of them went down to the gym on the 8th floor together.

Since it was Saturday, the hotel gym was quite crowded. There were many people huffing and puffing on the treadmills and in the weight machine area.

However, as soon as Liu Menglu appeared in the gym, the breathing of the male wolves instantly hitched, and they all cast their gazes over. Liu Menglu’s figure was already top-notch, and wearing figure-hugging yoga pants and a tank top made it even harder to bear.

Fitness princesses on Kuaiyin were a minority, after all. Even if there were, how could they compare to the impact of seeing one in real life?

An old fellow who was running directly set his pace to the highest gear, running so hard that the treadmill was shaking.

Another brother doing bench presses, upon seeing her, directly added 15 kilograms to the barbell and did one rep after another, trying to attract Liu Menglu’s attention.

Faced with such clumsy attempts at attraction, Liu Menglu had seen it all too many times. She just walked past them with a faint smile, then led Shen Yuan to an empty space to do warm-up exercises.

And those gym guys, when they found that her attention was completely focused on the man next to her, suddenly felt a bit unbalanced.

Because next to her was just a skinny dog, thin and with no muscles at all.

There was also a pecking order in the gym. What right did an ordinary weakling with no signs of fitness have to be with a female knight of this level?

What a waste of a heavenly gift!

So early in the morning, and it already made people feel so unbalanced.

What damn bad luck!

What was even more infuriating was that this woman with a superb figure and looks seemed to be this skinny dog’s private coach or girlfriend.

To say she was a private coach was because her movements were very standard. To say she was his girlfriend was because the two were in close contact the whole time, not avoiding it at all.

Now they felt even more unbalanced.

Damn it, this guy must be super rich, right?

And among this group of people, there was also an old acquaintance of Shen Yuan’s, Hou Jun.

The apartment he lived in was not far from here, so he had bought an annual membership here and would occasionally come over to run and lift dumbbells on weekends.

Although he was currently walking slowly on the treadmill, his gaze would occasionally drift to Shen Yuan and the stunning beauty next to him. He couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Didn’t this kid bring another beauty to the IFC to buy bags last time?

Now he’s with another woman?

Son of a bitch, he plays around a lot!

Hou Jun complained in his heart. He had been in a bad mood for the past few days because Zhou Wanting had broken up with him a few days ago and had directly blocked his WeChat and phone number.

It wasn’t that he was reluctant to break up, but he was pained by the money he had spent. He had recently bought many designer bags and expensive cosmetics for Zhou Wanting, and this bitch just dumped him like that?

So damn frustrating!

Thinking about it, they hadn’t even slept together that many times, and he hadn’t tried as many tricks as Shen Yuan. And he was just dumped like that. Hou Jun hadn’t had a good appetite for the past few days.

Hou Jun couldn’t contact Zhou Wanting now, and he didn’t have any mutual friends. He also didn’t know her home address. Because the two of them either got a room or slept at Hou Jun’s place. If he knew her address, he would definitely go to her door and ask!

Now seeing Shen Yuan here, Hou Jun even suspected that it had something to do with this kid.

He had been messed with by Shen Yuan twice before, and now his woman had run off. Seeing this kid with a stunning beauty made him even more unhappy.

Could this son of a bitch be two-timing?

Hou Jun really wanted to go up and expose his true colors, and then see the reaction of the woman next to him.

Probably any normal woman would flip out immediately upon finding out, right?

How would Shen Yuan handle it then?

Hou Jun had a wicked thought in his mind. He took two deep breaths to muster up his courage, then walked up and greeted with a smile, “Shen Yuan, what a coincidence. You’re here too?”

Shen Yuan was doing warm-up exercises with Liu Menglu. He turned his head and glanced at him. “Oh, it’s you.”

“What’s up?”

“Nothing, just saw an acquaintance and came over to say hello.” Hou Jun said with a chuckle.

“Oh, if there’s nothing, I’m going to work out.”

Shen Yuan replied faintly, then said to Liu Menglu, “Let’s continue.”

“Mmm.”

Liu Menglu glanced at this middle-aged man but said nothing.

Hou Jun was suddenly a bit embarrassed, but since he had already come this far, it wouldn’t do not to say something. After pondering for a while, he finally mustered up the courage.

“The girl you brought to the IFC last time, why didn’t she come with you?”

“You two should have a pretty good relationship, right? I saw you bought her a lot of things.”

After Hou Jun finished speaking, he fixed his gaze on Liu Menglu’s expression, wanting to see her reaction. But her expression didn’t change at all, and her emotions didn’t fluctuate.

What was going on?

Hou Jun was a bit stunned. If they were in a normal relationship, wouldn’t this woman directly question Shen Yuan and then flip out on the spot?

Did I get the wrong script?

Shen Yuan stopped his movements and looked him up and down, his gaze frivolous, until he made him feel uncomfortable all over. Only then did he say, “Why are you so concerned about this? Are we that close?”

Shen Yuan was already tall, and he had a wild, unrestrained aura. An elite white-collar worker like Hou Jun, who often sat in an office, definitely couldn’t handle it. So as soon as their eyes met, Hou Jun was defeated.

“You…”

Hou Jun’s face turned red. He really wanted to curse, but the words wouldn’t come out. In the end, he really couldn’t swallow this insult and could only say to Liu Menglu:

“I’m telling you, girl, you can know a person’s face but not their heart. This kid is two-timing. Don’t be deceived by him.”

Liu Menglu found this a bit funny. “Even if he’s three-timing, I’d still be willing to be with him. It’s none of your business, thank you.”

“You…”

Hou Jun’s eyes widened. He thought, what kind of people are these? He gritted his teeth and played his last card. “He also bought that girl two Prada bags, at least eighty or ninety thousand.”

Liu Menglu smiled like a flower. “So what? It’s his money. He can spend it however he wants.”

???

Hou Jun’s eyes were as wide as saucers. He looked at Liu Menglu, then at Shen Yuan, his face turning from red to green. He had ground his back teeth to the point of breaking and still couldn’t figure out where the problem was.

In the end, he couldn’t utter another word and could only leave in disgrace.

Shen Yuan watched Hou Jun’s retreating back and couldn’t help but smile. This guy was quite cute, but next time he wanted to mess with his mind, he should at least figure out the situation first.

Who was Liu Menglu? She was his private coach and private butler. She was very clear about her own position. Why would she care about these things?

“Shen Yuan, let’s continue.”

Liu Menglu didn’t pursue what that man had said at all. Even if it was true, she didn’t care. She already knew Shen Yuan had other women; Nana was one of them.

So what if he bought a woman two bags? Shen Yuan had bought her a 2.52 million Porsche 911!

After the two finished their warm-up, Liu Menglu led Shen Yuan through several sets of machine exercises, several sets of squats, and finally several sets of barbell lifts.

Considering it was Shen Yuan’s first time working out, Liu Menglu had him start with light weights. Later, as Shen Yuan became more familiar with the movements, she would gradually increase the weight.

Shen Yuan didn’t usually exercise much, and after these two hours, he was also covered in sweat, soaking his tank top and shorts. But after working out, he did feel comfortable and relaxed, and there was also a small sense of accomplishment.

Finally, Liu Menglu helped Shen Yuan relax all his muscles to avoid muscle soreness the next day.

Although there was the small interlude with Hou Jun, today’s fitness task was completed very smoothly, and Coach Liu was also very satisfied with Shen Yuan’s performance.

“You did great today. Your form was very good.”

“But tomorrow, we’re going to increase the intensity.”

In the elevator, Liu Menglu said coquettishly, linking her arm with Shen Yuan’s.

Shen Yuan joked with a smile, “You’re not trying to get revenge, are you? I gave you intensity last night, so you’re going to give me intensity tomorrow?”

Liu Menglu pouted. “Of course not. Today was mainly about getting familiar with the movements and equipment. Now that you’re familiar, we definitely have to add weight.”

The two returned to the room to shower. This time, Shen Yuan had no other thoughts, considering he had to save some energy for the class beauty. Unexpectedly, Coach Liu got some ideas and was not very well-behaved in the bathroom, forcing Shen Yuan to teach the fifth lesson.

It took them 40 minutes to get out of the bathroom. After Shen Yuan ate the fitness meal prepared by Liu Menglu and took a half-hour nap, he was ready to go back to the Foreign Economics College, because he had an appointment to meet Fu Yingzi at 3 o’clock.

As he was leaving, Liu Menglu suddenly woke up, drowsy. “Hubby, where are you going? Are we having class tonight?”

Shen Yuan patted her delicate face. “Not tonight, I have something to do. But you can sleep here.”

He subconsciously glanced at the Favorability above Liu Menglu’s head. From last night until now, it had increased by another 2 points, currently at 88. It seemed that 90 Favorability was just around the corner.

Liu Menglu shook her head. “No, it’s too big here. I’d rather sleep in my small apartment.”

Shen Yuan smiled without saying a word. He knew Liu Menglu wanted to free up the room for him, but he didn’t expose her. He wouldn’t bring the class beauty here anyway.

“I’m leaving then.”

“Hubby, bye-bye~”

“Don’t use the wrong form of address.”

“Daddy, bye-bye~”
