Chapter 68
Chapter 68: Is the Mature Lady Jealous?
Once this crazy thought emerged, no matter how much Qin Yuenan tried to deny it, she could never delete it from her mind.
So she had to change the subject to distract herself.
“You picked up your car?”
Seeing Lin Shen place his water bottle and earphone case on the treadmill, Qin Yuenan looked at him with surprise.
“Where did you get the money?”
“I saved it up.”
Lin Shen smiled calmly, which made Qin Yuenan blink her beautiful eyes twice, filled with deep confusion.
Could an ordinary company employee save enough money for a 400,000-yuan car after working for three years?
Even with a loan, that would be very difficult!
Unless he emptied his family’s savings and borrowed money from everywhere, it might be possible.
But Lin Shen said he still had savings…
Qin Yuenan was confused, but she didn’t think Lin Shen was lying. Hiding personal financial information was possible though.
Could it be that he had secretly invested in some projects?
Or made money through stocks and other financial instruments?
These were the only possibilities Qin Yuenan could think of.
She recalled the various suggestions Lin Shen had made regarding the operation of Pet Guardian Home, and felt more confident.
With his talent, perhaps secretly making some money in finance was possible.
This was probably his confidence in quitting without another job lined up?
“Remember to manage your risks.”
Although she trusted Lin Shen, Qin Yuenan was still worried he might lose money in the stock market, so she softly reminded him.
“It’s best to keep some emergency money aside.”
?
Lin Shen turned his head while running, looking confused.
Because he really couldn’t get on the same wavelength as Qin Yuenan and couldn’t understand what she meant.
“Sister Nan, what do you mean?”
“Nothing special.”
Seeing that Lin Shen didn’t appreciate her concern, Qin Yuenan pouted slightly in annoyance and increased her running pace.
“Jog for twenty minutes, then we’ll take a personal training class. The annual membership here includes four free sessions, and I booked the 8 o’clock slot.”
“Okay.”
Lin Shen adjusted the treadmill to 11 kilometers per hour and regulated his breathing rhythm to match his stride frequency.
After so many days of training, he had adapted to this 5’40” pace and could definitely finish 5K in under 28 minutes and 30 seconds!
However, Lin Shen only ran for twenty minutes before preparing to rest and take the personal training class.
During this time, Qin Yuenan specifically went to the changing room and changed back into the tank top and yoga pants she used to wear for workouts.
When she came out, Lin Shen could once again appreciate her graceful figure.
Of course, other people working out also turned their gazes toward her.
Some admiring, some amazed, and of course some with ill intentions.
After Lin Shen noticed this, he understood why Qin Yuenan hadn’t been wearing this outfit earlier.
It was indeed too eye-catching. She probably hated being stared at by others.
So why did she change back into it?
Lin Shen looked up and down at Qin Yuenan’s graceful curves once more, his gaze more intense than before.
However, this cold and aloof mature lady not only didn’t scold him with a cold face like before, but actually avoided his gaze, seeming…
A bit shy?
Lin Shen’s thoughts stirred.
“Let’s go.”
Qin Yuenan finally couldn’t stand Lin Shen’s presumptuous gaze. After glaring at him angrily, she urged him to go to the third floor together.
Compared to the crowded first floor, the third floor had very few people.
After all, personal training sessions at ZB Fitness gym cost at least seven or eight hundred per session, and they only sold packages of twenty sessions minimum.
Ordinary people simply couldn’t afford it.
But then again, people who could afford membership here weren’t ordinary people either.
“Ms. Qin, you’re here.”
Since it was appointment time, Lu Ran had already changed into workout clothes and was waiting on the third floor, even thoughtfully preparing electrolyte water, towels, and other items.
Seeing Lin Shen accompanying Qin Yuenan, she looked somewhat surprised.
“Are you taking the personal training class together with Mr. Lin?”
“Yes, is that not allowed?”
“Of course it’s fine.”
Lu Ran smiled and looked at Lin Shen.
“Mr. Lin, which areas do you particularly need to work on?”
“My lower back.”
Lin Shen touched his lower back.
“My back isn’t good.”
“?”
Lu Ran looked momentarily stunned, then took a deep look at Qin Yuenan, her expression suddenly becoming enlightened and interesting.
So that’s it!
She had thought Mr. Lin’s back strain was from sitting too much, but it turned out to be from intense physical activity in that area?
Understandable. After all, having such a beautiful girlfriend like Ms. Qin, nightly exertion was perfectly normal.
“Please follow me.”
Lu Ran led Qin Yuenan and Lin Shen to the personal training area, then handed them heart rate monitoring wristbands.
“Ms. Qin, this is our personal training content for the next two hours. Your goal is body sculpting, so I’ve specifically designed four short sessions for you. If you need more, please feel free to come find me anytime.”
Lu Ran smiled and handed over a paper with the workout plan. After Qin Yuenan read through it, she nodded.
“Alright.”
“Then I need to ask you about one more thing.”
Lu Ran carefully and tentatively inquired.
“Since Mr. Lin has back muscle strain and needs to relax his back muscles, I might need to have some physical contact with him later. Would you mind?”
?
Qin Yuenan looked stunned, and Lin Shen was equally baffled.
Why do you need someone else’s permission to have physical contact with me?
Lin Shen thought deeply for a moment and suddenly understood.
Could it be that she thinks Qin Yuenan and I are a couple?
“That’s fine.”
Qin Yuenan seemed to realize Lu Ran had misunderstood, but didn’t actively explain. Instead, she gave Lin Shen a meaningful look.
Then she went to the squat area to do warm-up exercises.
For women’s body sculpting, there were basically two aspects.
One was the upper body focused on the waist and back, and the other was the lower body focused on glutes and legs.
Qin Yuenan felt she didn’t need much work on her upper body, so glutes and legs became her focus.
Barbell squats were an effective way to sculpt the lower body.
Lu Ran first instructed Qin Yuenan on proper squat form to prevent injury.
Then she came to Lin Shen’s side and laid out a yoga mat in front of him.
“Mr. Lin, please lie face down with your arms crossed over your shoulders, and relax your lower back without arching it.”
“Okay.”
After Lin Shen lay down properly, Lu Ran gently straddled his thighs and used her hands like a massage therapist to help relax his back muscles.
This made Qin Yuenan, who was not far away, frown when she saw it, and she immediately felt extremely uncomfortable and bothered.
But Lin Shen looked completely comfortable.
After all, Lu Ran’s technique was extremely professional, just like an experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner – clearly she had relevant certifications.
So comfortable!
After twenty minutes of relaxation, Lu Ran brought Lin Shen a yoga ball and instructed him to lie on it to relax his back.
Meanwhile, Qin Yuenan’s routine included not only squats but also Romanian deadlifts, standing side leg raises, and step-ups according to the plan.
Time flew by quickly.
9:30 PM, with half an hour left before the personal training session ended.
Lu Ran walked over to Qin Yuenan and asked.
“Ms. Qin, shall I help you with some relaxation?”
“No need.”
Qin Yuenan waved her hand to refuse, as she disliked others touching her body.
This left Lu Ran looking troubled.
“You need to massage the relevant muscles after working out, otherwise you’ll feel sore for the next couple of days.”
“Hmm…”
Qin Yuenan thought silently for a moment, then looked at Lin Shen.
“You massage my body.”
