Chapter 23: Let's do stretching

Inside Jiangshan International.

The lights were blazing on both the first and second floors.

Walking into the first-floor living room, Jin Lu was reading a book on the sofa.

She was wearing a light, thin silk nightgown that didn't reach her knees, just barely covering her thighs, with her jade-like feet crossed...

"You haven't slept yet?" Zheng Qian glanced at the time; it was already two in the morning, and Jin Lu still hadn't rested.

"Mm, you said you were coming back, so I've been waiting for you."

After seeing Zheng Qian, Jin Lu took the initiative to come over, help him take off his coat, and help him change his shoes.

"I brewed some hangover soup for you. I'll go get you a bowl; drinking it will help you sleep comfortably tonight."

This... is too thoughtful!

Zheng Qian gulped down two bowls of the hangover soup, and he truly felt refreshed.

Lying on the bed, Jin Lu even took the initiative to massage Zheng Qian's shoulders.

Zheng Qian used to sit in front of a computer often, so he had some occupational issues; his lumbar spine and shoulders were a bit problematic.

After Jin Lu massaged him like that, he felt much better.

With such a virtuous woman at home, even if Zheng Qian were to have affairs outside in the future, Jin Lu would definitely remain firmly in the position of the main wife.

"Why are you dressed like this today?" Zheng Qian glanced at Jin Lu's attire.

"This is a nightgown..." After seeing Zheng Qian's gaze, Jin Lu knew what he wanted to do.

"I'm hungry."

"Then I'll go make you something to eat."

"..."

Last time, Jin Lu tried to fob Zheng Qian off with Wangzai milk, and Zheng Qian didn't hold it against her.

Zheng Qian rolled over...

...

Post-coital intimacy.

"Your health isn't very good."

"How is it not good? You were already begging for mercy just now."

"..."

"I don't mean that aspect; you're already very strong in that regard!"

"I mean, if you keep coming home this late every day, your current body won't be able to take it over time; you'll be listless and lack energy for anything."

"You don't usually exercise, do you?" Jin Lu asked again.

"Occasionally, but I'm inconsistent."

"Then do you have time tomorrow? I'll take you to the gym. I quit my job at the gym yesterday, but I know a few people there, so I can clear a space to accompany you for a workout."

"You're a private gym instructor?"

"Mm, to make money before, I had three jobs: private gym instructor and bar sales."

"And what else?"

"I also partnered with a friend to open a coffee shop, which I visit occasionally."

Good heavens, no wonder Jin Lu could live in this city of Yebai and save three million; it turns out she's a time management master!

A self-disciplined person is truly terrifying.

"Okay, tomorrow morning works, but I don't know if I'll be able to get up."

"I'll wake you up."

The next morning at 10:30, Zheng Qian was woken up on time.

After a simple breakfast, he followed Jin Lu to the gym.

The distance wasn't far, just a fifteen-minute drive; if you drove another seven or eight minutes down this road, you could reach Red Rose directly.

I have to say, Jin Lu's planning is really well done.

After arriving at the gym, Zheng Qian first went to the locker room to change into sportswear.

This scene was clearly captured by the gym's private instructors.

"Damn, who is that guy who came with Sister Jin today?"

"No idea, he's a new face; I've never seen him in the gym before."

"He must be Sister Jin's client; I saw him go to the locker room to change clothes."

There were quite a few of Jin Lu's pursuers here, and even some private instructors from other gyms had switched to this gym after seeing Jin Lu's photos in group chats.

Previously, two private instructors both liked Jin Lu and were rivals in love; they got into a fight in the gym, disrupting order, so the boss, after consulting Jin Lu, fired both instructors directly.

Following that, everyone went from open hostility to secret competition, comparing their muscles and bulk.

Previously, there were quite a few clients who signed up for her private lessons because they fancied Jin Lu's beauty, but when other male instructors discovered that these people had impure motives and were always trying to take advantage of Jin Lu, the male instructors would privately surround the client and tell him that if he dared to have any ideas about Jin Lu again, they would hold him under water in the pool and make him choke.

In the end, this client never dared to come to the gym again, deleted Jin Lu's contact information overnight, and didn't even dare to come back to get a refund for his gym membership or private lessons.

"That's not right, I heard Sister Jin already came to resign yesterday; why is she still bringing a student?"

"Really? Sister Jin resigned? How come I didn't know?"

"Why would I lie to you? She really resigned."

A thought suddenly popped into everyone's minds.

Could Jin Lu have resigned for the sake of that kid?

Impossible.

That kid doesn't even look that great; at most, he could be considered refined. He doesn't look particularly wealthy, just a very ordinary man; how could he possibly catch Jin Lu's eye?

As far as they knew, the tall, rich, and handsome men, second-generation rich, and local tycoons who admired Jin Lu openly or secretly could line up from the door here all the way to Red Rose. What did that kid have that was so extraordinary?

At this moment, Zheng Qian had already changed into his sportswear and walked into the yoga area of the gym with Jin Lu.

"No way, no way, Sister Jin has never taken a male student for a yoga class before..."

Yoga classes naturally involve physical contact between the private instructor and the student, so Jin Lu had always refused to take male students for yoga classes; no matter how high they offered to pay, she had never taken a male student.

"Your lumbar spine isn't very good, so I'll take you through some stretches first." Just as Jin Lu was about to teach Zheng Qian the first movement, a group of male instructors walked over together to greet her.

"Sister Jin, have you eaten? Why are you coming at this time in the afternoon?"

"Sister Jin, this is a bento I brought from home for lunch; would you like to eat some?"

Jin Lu glanced at the meal box in one of the male instructors' hands; it was sugar-free, oil-free, low-calorie, and a perfect fitness meal.

But she still refused: "Go away. This was made for you by your girlfriend; even if you're trying to curry favor with someone else's goods, you shouldn't do it like this."

"I've already eaten, don't worry about me," Jin Lu replied. "You guys go do your own thing; I'm taking my boyfriend to do some stretching."

"By the way, do you guys have any classes this afternoon? I'll need to use your private training area in a bit."

Theoretically, only private instructors and students are allowed in the private training area, but since Jin Lu had worked here for so long, it wouldn't be a problem for her to take Zheng Qian to use it.

But these male instructors didn't hear the second half of her sentence at all.

Their attention was entirely on the word "boyfriend" that Jin Lu had said.

How many men had confessed their feelings to Jin Lu? Yet without exception, all of them had been rejected by her.

She resigned yesterday, and today she brought a boyfriend over, and such an ordinary boyfriend at that.

What exactly did a queen like Jin Lu see in him?

Everyone couldn't figure it out.
