I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 99 Enemies Meet, Particularly Jealous



The next day.

Shen Yuan slowly awoke, the coach who had been by his pillow was no longer there. Subconsciously, he picked up his phone to check the time—it was already 8:30 AM.

Last night's fitness session continued until midnight. Shen Yuan had planned to do just three classes, but when they basked in their shared affection, Shen Yuan couldn't resist and added one more class.

However, Coach Liew had a fitness background and recovered quickly. Since she was supposed to help Shen Yuan with his fitness routine today, she got up early and went back to get her workout clothes.

Shen Yuan stretched lazily and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows to gaze at the river view and distant high-rise buildings, feeling inexplicably at ease.

After a quick wash, Liew 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 neat and tidy.

In her hands, she carried two Nike shopping bags and an insulated bag.

"You're up, huh? I woke up at 6:30 am, and I even prepared your breakfast and lunch meals for working out, since the hotel breakfast is too high in calories."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Liew Menglu opened the insulated bag, took out the lunch box, and said, "Inside there's lean beef, chicken breast, eggs, avocado, broccoli...."

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "That's quite a feast."

"It's good I had enough ingredients at home; otherwise, I would've had to go to the market, and that would have taken too much time."

Shen Yuan sat at the dining table and patted her shapely buttocks, "Thanks for the effort, Coach."

"Knowing that I worked hard is good, but don't tire me out like last night anymore," Liew Menglu pouted.

"Just feeling tired?"

"Don't you feel anything else?"

Shen Yuan also thought back carefully—during the four classes, Liew Menglu had 'overflowed' at least eight times, which should mean Coach Liew quite enjoyed the classes.

"Um...."

Liew Menglu's face turned red, finding it somewhat embarrassing to say out loud, so she changed the topic, "Alright, hurry up and eat, and then we'll go workout."

After Shen Yuan finished breakfast, he changed into the fitness tank top and quick-dry sports pants that Liew Menglu had bought for him, along with sports shoes, and then the two headed down to the hotel's 8th-floor gym together.

Since it was Saturday, the hotel gym was quite busy with many people huffing and puffing on treadmills and at the equipment area.

However, as soon as Liew Menglu appeared in the gym, the male fitness enthusiasts' breathing momentarily seized as they all cast their glances her way, unable to resist. Liew Menglu had an excellent figure to begin with, and dressed in figure-revealing yoga pants and tank top, she looked irresistible.

Fitness goddesses in quick-service apps are rare, and even when they do exist, can they compare to the impact of seeing one in real life?

One guy running on a treadmill immediately cranked his pace up to maximum, causing the machine to wobble precariously.

Another brother doing bench presses, after seeing her, straight up added 15 kilograms to the barbell and began pressing one rep after another, trying to catch Liew Menglu's sidelong glance.

In the face of these crude attempts to attract attention, Liew Menglu, who had seen it all before, just gave a faint smile as she walked past them, leading Shen Yuan to a clear space to begin warming up.

And those bodybuilding men, upon realizing she was mainly focused on the man beside her, felt an imbalance.

Because the man beside her was just a skinny dog, skinny without a trace of muscle.

In the gym, there is a hierarchy of contempt, and what right does a common weakling without any sign of fitness to be paired with a woman of such caliber?

It was a sheer waste!

Seeing this first thing in the morning really threw them off balance.

Fucking bad luck!

What was even more infuriating was that this woman, both perfect in figure and looks, seemed to be either this skinny dog's personal coach or girlfriend?

They say she's a personal coach because she moved so professionally, but they act like a couple, always in close contact without any reservation.

Now they felt even more imbalanced inside.

Motherfucker, this guy must be filthy rich, right?

Among this crowd was an old acquaintance of Shen Yuan, Hou Jun.

His apartment wasn't far from here, so he came here for a member's annual card and occasionally came over to run or lift weights on the weekends.

Although he was walking slowly on the treadmill, his eyes kept glancing over at Shen Yuan and the stunning beauty beside him, and he couldn't help but feel dubious.

Wasn't this guy just spotted buying a bag with another beauty at IFC Mall last time?

Now he's switched to another woman?

The fucker plays quite the field!

Hou Jun complained to himself for a while. Recently, he had been feeling pretty low because Zhou Wanting broke up with him a few days ago and had even blocked his WeChat and phone number.

He wasn't so much reluctant about the breakup as he was pained by the money he had spent. He had recently bought Zhou Wanting many brand-name bags and expensive makeup, only for her to dump him like that?

What a fucking letdown!

Thinking about it, he hadn't slept with her many times, certainly not as many varied experiences as Shen Yuan gave her, and still, she ended their relationship. This had been spoiling Hou Jun's appetite these past days.

Now unable to contact Zhou Wanting and without common friends or her home address since they usually met in hotels or at Hou Jun's place, he regretted not knowing where she lived to question her directly.

Seeing Shen Yuan here now made Hou Jun wonder if this had something to do with him.

Previously messed with by Shen Yuan, now his woman had run off, and seeing this guy with another knockout beauty made him even more uncomfortable.

The dog-bastard couldn't possibly be playing the field with multiple women at once, right?

Hou Jun really wanted to go reveal his true face and then see the reaction of the woman with him.

Probably any normal woman would turn on him, right?

How would Shen Yuan handle the situation then?

With a bad idea brewing in his mind, Hou Jun took a few deep breaths to muster courage and then stepped forward with a smile, greeting, "Shen Yuan, what a coincidence to see you here, huh?"

Shen Yuan was warming up with Liew Menglu when he turned to size up the man: "Oh, it's you."

"Something the matter?"

"Nothing, just saw someone familiar and came over to say hi."

Hou Jun said with a chuckle.

"Oh, if there's nothing else I need to work out."

Shen Yuan replied indifferently and then continued to Liew Menglu, "Let's keep going."

"Okay."

Liew Menglu glanced at the middle-aged man without saying anything.

Hou Jun immediately felt a bit embarrassed, but having come this far, he definitely couldn't leave without saying anything. After pondering for a while, he finally mustered the courage to ask:

"The girl you took to IFC Mall last time, why didn't she come with you?"

"You two must be close, I saw you bought her quite a few things."

After Hou Jun finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Liew Menglu's expression, trying to see her reaction, but she remained unaltered, both her expression and mood stable.

What's the situation here?

Hou Jun was a bit dumbfounded. If they were in a normal male-female relationship, wouldn't this woman be confronting Shen Yuan directly and then have a fallout on the spot?

Did I pick up the wrong script or something?

Shen Yuan stopped his movements, looked him up and down with a frivolous gaze until Hou Jun felt his whole body tingle, and then said, "Why are you so concerned about this? Are we that close?"

Shen Yuan was naturally tall and carried an indomitable wildness about him, which definitely overwhelmed people like Hou Jun who often sat in offices, elite white collars; so the moment their eyes met, Hou Jun was the first to look away.

"You..."

Hou Jun's face turned red. He wanted to swear but the words just wouldn't come out. Finally unable to swallow his pride, he could only turn to Liew Menglu and said:

"Let me tell you, miss, it's easy to judge a book by its cover but not its content, this guy's playing the field, don't let him deceive you?"

Liew Menglu couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: "Even if he's three-timing, I'd still be happy to be with him, it's none of your business, thanks."

"You this..."

Hou Jun's eyes widened, thinking what sort of people they were. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out his last resort: "He also bought that woman two Pradas, at least eighty or ninety thousand."

Liew Menglu's smile bloomed: "So what, that's his money, he can spend it however he likes."

???

Hou Jun's eyes bulged like bell clappers as he looked at Liew Menglu and then at Shen Yuan, his face turning from red to green, grinding his molars without figuring out where the problem was.

In the end, he was rendered speechless and could only leave the scene despondently.

Watching Hou Jun's retreating figure, Shen Yuan couldn't help but smile. This guy was kind of cute. However, if he wanted to upset my mental state next time, he'd at least have to figure out the situation first.

Who was Liew Menglu? She was my personal trainer and housekeeper, her self-awareness couldn't be clearer, and she wouldn't care about these matters.

"Shen Yuan, let's continue,"

Liew Menglu didn't bother to delve into what that man had said. Even if it were true, she didn't care. She knew that Shen Yuan had other women, Nana included.

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

After finishing their warm-up, Liew Menglu led Shen Yuan through several sets of equipment exercises, some squats, and finally some weightlifting.

Considering it was Shen Yuan's first gym session, Liew Menglu used light weights for him, planning to gradually increase the weights as Shen Yuan became more familiar with the exercises.

Shen Yuan, not being used to regular exercise, sweated through his workout, drenching his tank top and shorts, but afterward, he felt comfortable and relaxed with a small sense of accomplishment.

Finally, Liew Menglu helped Shen Yuan stretch out his muscles to prevent soreness the next day.

Despite Hou Jun's little interruption, the day's workout went smoothly, and Coach Liew was very satisfied with Shen Yuan's performance.

"You did really well today, all your movements were on point."

"But we're going to step up the intensity tomorrow,"

Liew Menglu said coquettishly, leaning on Shen Yuan's arm in the elevator.

Shen Yuan joked, "You're not planning on getting back at me, are you? Because I put you through a tough time last night, so you want to return the favor tomorrow?"

Liew Menglu pouted, "Not at all. Today was mainly about getting familiar with the movements and equipment. Now that you're familiar with them, we definitely need to increase the weight."

The two went back to their room to take showers. This time, Shen Yuan had no ulterior motives, considering he needed to save money for class belle, but Coach Liew had other ideas. She initiated some not-so-innocent moves in the shower, forcing Shen Yuan to go through their fifth session.

It took them 40 minutes to come out of the bathroom, after which Shen Yuan ate the fitness meal prepared by Liew Menglu, took a half-hour nap, and prepared to return to the International campus since he had an appointment with Fu Yingzi at 3 pm.

As he was about to leave, Liew Menglu suddenly woke up, still half-asleep, "Honey, where are you going? Will there be classes tonight?"

Shen Yuan patted her delicate cheek: "Not tonight, I have things to do, but you can stay here and sleep."

He subconsciously glanced at the Feel-good Index above Liew Menglu's head, which had risen by two points since last night and was now at 88, indicating that reaching 90 was imminent.

Liew Menglu shook her head: "I don't want to, this place is too big, I'd rather sleep in my small apartment."

Shen Yuan just smiled and remained silent, knowing that Liew Menglu wanted to free up the room for him, but he didn't point it out, nor would he bring class belle here.

"Then I'm leaving."

"Hubby, bye~"

"Don't get the titles mixed up."

"Daddy, bye~"
