Chapter 34 Subwoofer, Black Tank Top, Scumbag!

At Saint Sea Manor, the glass greenhouse stretched for dozens of meters. Sunlight streamed through the glass and green leaves, casting dappled shadows. Though it wasn’t as grand as shimmering reflections on water, it had a uniquely delicate beauty, like a subtle fragrance wafting through the air. The manor needed to decorate with flower arrangements daily, so they usually cut flowers right there.

Xia Yuan held Yang Ying’s hand and sat in a lush, fragrant corner, appearing quietly at peace. As long as they didn’t speak, others would find it hard to notice them.

“I’ve been wanting to work out recently!” When Yang Ying mentioned “working out,” her eyes sparkled, revealing a look of infatuation.

Xia Yuan grew more curious. Although the Yang family wasn’t as prominent as the Qin or Pei families, they were still a first-class family. As the young lady of the Yang family, what kind of men hadn’t she seen?

Even if Yang Ying had a simple upbringing without any random men fawning over her, she saw Qin Mohuai, Pei Jincheng, and Yang Yi every day. Her standards should be as high as the Himalayas.

Could Zhou Weiqi really be more handsome than these elite young masters?

“There’s a KLEK gym on the top floor of KG Mall. I have a diamond membership card, and they offer discounts for referrals. But you probably don’t care about the money. If you like KLEK, I can take you there to try it out sometime.”

Xia Yuan thought to herself that KLEK Gym, with its name, clearly meant to be a money trap!

“Sure, I want to go try it out tomorrow. I’ve just been eating and sleeping at home, and I’ve gained a lot of lazy fat. Qin Mohuai is probably thrilled; I nearly couldn’t pull up my denim shorts today.”

Her waist was slim enough to be grasped with one hand, but her little butt was fair and plump, overly well-nourished.

It was time to hit the gym and slim down that backside.

Once she lost weight, Qin Mohuai might not be as enthusiastic.

Tsk.

She was truly an ordinary little genius.

But what Xia Yuan didn’t realize was that her huffing and puffing while trying to lose weight inadvertently shaped her perfect peach butt, which had the opposite effect in front of Qin Mohuai.

In the end, Qin Mohuai could only find five people. There was no helping it; Saint Sea Manor was too big. Some even hid in the lake, surfacing occasionally to breathe—how was he supposed to find them?

After the punishment ended, a bus left Saint Sea Manor, and Pei Jincheng and Yang Yi didn’t leave until after dinner.

Qin Mohuai sent the two of them to the door, already eager to spend time alone with Xia Yuan.

Pei Jincheng, however, refused to comply, standing at the entrance and refusing to leave.

“Saint Sea Manor has your wife, and the Qin family’s old house has your fiancée. Who do you plan to marry in the end?”

When the young master’s temper flared, Pei Jincheng knew how to make things uncomfortable. His exquisitely handsome face, with a flirtatious charm, was matched only by his small-mindedness.

Xia Yuan must have been deceived by Qin Mohuai. Maybe it was because Qin Mohuai had promised her riches that she reluctantly stayed by his side!

Pei Jincheng was like pickled vegetables stuck in a jar, and even Yang Yi would cringe at the sight of him.

“Of course, I’ll marry Xia Yuan.” Qin Mohuai scoffed lightly, as if he had been asked a very foolish question.

“Get lost! If you keep blabbering, I’ll dig out the two pieces of cake you just ate!”

Pei Jincheng choked, cursing as he drove off in his Pagani Huayra.

The starry night enveloped him, his profile cut out by the light and shadow, casting a perfect, sexy outline. His tall and upright figure gave Xia Yuan a sense of unattainable nobility and coldness.

He was like the deep sea, glimmering yet unfathomable.

Xia Yuan walked over, her sweet voice unusually soft. “You’ve got cake frosting on your lips that you haven’t wiped off.”

She raised her fair, delicate finger and gently brushed it across the man’s moderately full, sensual lips, and suddenly, Qin Mohuai’s lips curved into a smile.

He felt pleased.

“Wife, I have a gift for you too.”

The pink diamond was too big for her to bother wearing, so Qin Mohuai bought her a pair of simple rings suitable for everyday use.

Xia Yuan didn’t care what she wore; after all, she couldn’t take anything from here. She couldn’t help but wonder how the madly in love male protagonist would react after she left and lost his “wife”…

Her heart softened, and she was coaxed by Qin Mohuai into removing her nightgown.

The developments that followed became somewhat uncontrollable.

Though Xia Yuan seemed delicate and fragile, she was a rose with thorns, possessing her own temper and boundaries.

Qin Mohuai held a high position and didn’t like being defied by others, yet he particularly enjoyed Xia Yuan’s little temper. When she scolded him, he secretly reveled in it, leaning closer to whisper in her ear, “Baby, you can’t protect yourself. You’re going to be ruined by me.”

Yang Ying drove a powder rose-colored Porsche 911 to pick up Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan was chatting with her mentor, Li Zhiyuan, about her thesis. Li Zhiyuan informed her that there were basically no issues with the paper and also shared the time and place for a dinner gathering in two days. It was clear that Professor Li had never faced the harsh realities of society, as he was quite enthusiastic about organizing dinner parties.

Once in the car, Xia Yuan’s sweet and soft voice sounded weak as she pleaded with Yang Ying to close the convertible top. Her fair, glowing skin couldn’t handle such intense sunlight.

Yang Ying perked up and closed the top, unable to resist commenting, “No wonder Third Brother spoils you so much. I can’t even handle this delicate voice, let alone any man. If my voice were this nice, dating would probably go smoothly for me too.”

Xia Yuan grew even more curious about Zhou Weiqi. What kind of charm did he have that could mesmerize Yang Ying like this?

At KG Mall, KLEK Gym.

Since it was a weekday and during working hours, there were not many members inside—only about five or six.

“ are you here to bring a friend?”

Xia Yuan looked over in the direction of the voice. He must be Zhou Weiqi.

—

He spoke in a deliberately deep voice, wearing a black tank top that showed off his solid shoulder muscles. He wasn’t particularly handsome; he was just passably good-looking, but when he smiled, it was warm and sincere.

He resembled a golden retriever with muscles.

If Yang Ying had never been ambiguous with the opposite sex, she really wouldn’t stand a chance against Zhou Weiqi, who pretended to be a sunny, cheerful boy. After all, who didn’t like golden retrievers? Even if they were muscular…

Yang Ying blushed, saying, “Coach Zhou, my friend wants to work out, and I brought her to try it out. If she’s satisfied, she’ll get a membership.”

Zhou Weiqi grinned widely, “That sounds great! We have female trainers here.”

He called out to Hedy, asking her to show Xia Yuan around.

Xia Yuan shot Zhou Weiqi a meaningful glance before following Hedy. She didn’t trust a man who cheated after marriage; he was probably still up to no good.

Zhou Weiqi furrowed his brows and leaned into Yang Ying’s ear, pledging his loyalty. “Is your friend single? She just gave me a flirtatious look.”

He enjoyed the feeling of being fought over by women and was surprised that this time, he didn’t even have to stir the pot to provoke some plastic-sisterly rivalry; it came effortlessly.

However, not only did Yang Ying not take the bait, but she also couldn’t help but jab at her crush, “Are you okay?”
