Chapter 60: How to Make Your Wife Happy

For the past few days, Zheng Qian had rarely spent the night at home and had few opportunities to see Jin Lu; he didn't even know if she was angry with him.

Returning so late again today, Zheng Qian didn't dare to make too much noise and tiptoed upstairs.

"I was just about to send you a message when you came back."

Just as he reached the corner of the stairs, he heard Jin Lu's voice.

Feeling quite guilty, Zheng Qian put on a smile and walked up confidently.

A sheepskin rug was spread on the floor, and soothing music was playing while she practiced yoga with intense focus.

She was wearing a black sports bra and shorts, her perfectly proportioned, long, beautiful legs on display, and the top just reached her prominent shoulder blades, outlining her figure to perfection.

Zheng Qian knew that she only dressed like this at home.

If she were to wear an outfit like this to the gym or any public place with men present, it would be a completely unfair advantage; everyone's attention would be completely diverted to her.

"Count the days, how long has it been since you paid any attention to me? Where have you been?"

"I've been busy with socializing. There are so many things to handle every day."

There wasn't actually much dissatisfaction in Jin Lu's tone. She knew that for someone with Zheng Qian's schedule, the time spent during the day naturally had to be made up for at night.

"Where are you putting your hands? Go take a shower first."

"I'm tired from the day, I don't want to wash."

"Then I'll go wash."

About an hour and a half later.

Zheng Qian lay in bed, and he suddenly noticed that Jin Lu's eyelashes were longer than most people's.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Come to think of it, Jin Lu had really helped him out a lot. Regarding the previous meeting, Zheng Qian had been wondering how to handle it without making things awkward with Boss Han, but unexpectedly, Jin Lu had done her homework thoroughly, and with just a few words, she had gotten Boss Han to make the final decision.

"I'm looking at how cute you are."

"By the way, how are things going with the gym?"

Jin Lu told him that she had already taken over the gym and it had resumed operations, with no changes to the staff.

"However, some of the equipment is a bit old and needs updating. I've ordered a few imported Smith machines."

"Alright, I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow."

"Are you free tomorrow? I'll take you to work out."

"Okay."

"What about Long Lake?"

"Long Lake is still in the site selection phase. Some of the venues have small areas but very high asking prices, so Uncle Hou didn't think it was suitable and didn't buy them. Some have lower prices, but the locations are just too remote, seven or eight kilometers away from the high-end residential areas."

"Hmm, if you run into any difficulties, just let me know."

As for funds, Zheng Qian could handle it.

As for connections, Boss Han should be able to handle it with ease.

The two of them working together could be considered a powerful alliance.

"I've always had a question I wanted to ask you."

"Why exactly did you buy his gym? Tell me the truth."

Jin Lu had actually been holding this in for a long time and hadn't asked Zheng Qian from beginning to end. Today, she couldn't help it anymore, so she finally asked.

"For you."

Zheng Qian didn't hide it; since Jin Lu wanted to know, he would tell her the truth.

"For me?"

"Why, is that not allowed? Having money means I can be willful."

"That's not four or five thousand, or even forty or fifty thousand—it's four point five million!"

"Just how rich are you?"

"Compared to those world-class billionaires, I'm just this." Zheng Qian said, holding up his pinky finger.

"Then what about compared to us ordinary people?"

"I don't know about that, but I suppose I can be considered rich."

Jin Lu flicked Zheng Qian's nose: "Are you the personification of a humblebragger?"

The next morning, around ten o'clock.

Zheng Qian rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Jin Lu was already gone from his side.

Needless to say, Jin Lu was different from a big lazybones like him; she must have gotten up early.

Walking out of the bedroom, he saw she had already prepared breakfast, covering it with a steel-colored food cover, while she was in the study wearing Bluetooth headphones, doing English listening exercises.

"My big lazy pig has finally woken up." As soon as Jin Lu saw Zheng Qian, she took off her headphones.

"Not at all, it's just because I was too tired yesterday," Zheng Qian explained.

"When you say tired, do you mean tired from the day, or tired from the night?"

"Both."

After breakfast, Jin Lu took Zheng Qian to the gym.

"Hello, President Zheng!"

"Hello, President Zheng, Sister Jin!"

"President Zheng, here to work out again?"

One by one, the gym staff greeted Zheng Qian without exception.

"What are they doing?" Zheng Qian was a bit puzzled, feeling that the gym was even more enthusiastic than when he came before. Even the front desk girl was smiling and greeting Zheng Qian.

"You are their benefactor, of course they have to greet you."

Jin Lu explained that jobs in Yebai were hard to find, and Zheng Qian buying the gym had saved them from the risk and loss of losing their jobs.

"The contract has been sent over according to your instructions; it's an electronic version. Take a look, if there are no issues, I'll go sign it this afternoon." Jin Lu sent the file to Zheng Qian.

When Zheng Qian previously transferred money to Uncle Hou, he specifically instructed him not to transfer the gym under his own name; everything including the land the gym was on, the equipment, and all the miscellaneous items, were to be handed over to Jin Lu.

"No issues, go ahead and sign it when you have time."

"President Zheng! You're here! Have some water."

A sturdy man came up with a beaming smile on his face.

He got too close, and Zheng Qian had to stretch his neck back and squint to see clearly—wasn't this Duan Qiran who had been KO'd by Jin Lu last time?
