Every time there's so little to do and the food is so good, it's no wonder I don't gain weight!
Ye Zixun lay on the bed with one hand supporting her temple, looking at Lan Baobao. "Your chest has gotten a little bigger, but overall, you still need to work harder. Have you been getting your massages? Did you take the herbal medicine I prescribed on time?"
Lan Baobao looked even more aggrieved after hearing this. "Every time I have to get a massage from you, why should I look for someone else to massage me..." She turned to the wardrobe to change clothes, walking while saying, "That doctor prescribed medicine that just makes me nauseous. It's too hard to drink, I've already stopped taking it. Ye Zixun, I've really gained a lot of weight; I need to lose it quickly. I'm going to ride my bike."
Brother Mu and Ruo Ruo showed no interest in their mother's sudden decision to ride a bike for weight loss.
In five years, she had complained countless times about wanting to lose weight, but not once had she managed to stick with it for more than three days.
Ruo Ruo stuffed snacks into her mouth while wishing her well, "Mommy, I wish you a smooth journey this time; just make sure not to get led astray by anyone!"
"Don't worry, Mommy won't be led away; she's not the type foreigners like. They would just think she's ugly! Mommy, you can go without worry; we won't go out in the morning."
Lan Baobao thought with a dark expression about whether Brother Mu's words were meant to compliment her or if he was mocking her looks...
While pondering this profound thought indoors, she pushed her bike out by herself. Ye Zixun felt something was off. Her laziness was at the level of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall; she had only worked before out of necessity to earn money for the kids' expenses. Now that she didn't have to work, yet was still so diligent, it really wasn't like her style.
Ye Zixun drove her car and followed her out.
"Foolish girl, if you want to exercise and lose weight, walking at this turtle pace won't work. Let me hire a coach for you; wouldn't that be easier?" Ye Zixun shouted a couple of times, but Lan Baobao refused, citing the gym's poor air quality.
It was hard-earned to finally go to France; how could she just stay in her room all day?
Ye Zixun was quite unhappy that she didn't get what she wanted in the morning and had followed Lan Baobao out instead, but she could only drive slowly behind her.
There were many people exercising in Forest Park in the morning; only Lan Baobao was behind a limited edition Bentley while riding her bike.
Ye Zixun automatically ignored the gazes and discussions of the foreigners. Suddenly, he saw someone approaching them on a bike in the rearview mirror. When the person got closer, he was momentarily stunned. The smiling face had dimples, and the slender phoenix eyes were captivating. It was none other than Gu Feng!
Instantly, Ye Zixun felt a surge of anger coursing through him as he glared at Gu Feng, who was chatting with Lan Baobao. If looks could kill, Gu Feng would have died a thousand times over.
However, Gu Feng seemed immune to Ye Zixun's fury, as if protected by a diamond shield. After knowing each other for so many years, it was no surprise he remained unaffected!
He rode alongside Lan Baobao and turned to tease Ye Zixun: "President Ye is in high spirits, driving a sports car like a turtle. Are you learning to play spy games like a girl?"
Ye Zixun suppressed the urge to drag Gu Feng out of the car and beat him up, forcing a smile that was more grimace than anything else: "Gu Feng is the one with real taste. Why don’t you go abroad to work, travel, and chase foreign girls instead of playing these fresh games like a girl?"
"Don't slander me; I never chase girls," Gu Feng quickly defended himself.
Ye Zixun seemed to have found his weak spot: "Never chase girls? Then what about that time when our two companies collaborated? The meeting was held at your group, and that secretary who served tea and water never left your side. The way she looked at you could melt even an outsider like me! You didn’t chase her? I don’t believe it."
"That’s my right-hand assistant; we have a superior-subordinate relationship. You’re just being overly suspicious," Gu Feng hurriedly countered.
"Come on, spending so much time together with such a capable woman who’s also quite attractive—why not consider settling down with her?" Ye Zixun shook his head with a look of regret.
Gu Feng should have gone back after the wedding, but despite saying he would leave multiple times, he never did. He kept appearing in front of Lan Baobao, exchanging flirtatious glances with her, completely disregarding Ye Zixun as her legitimate husband.
Ye Zixun had grown up with Gu Feng and couldn’t order Lan Baobao not to talk to him like he did with Mu Jiangfeng.
Partly due to his feelings for Gu Feng and partly because this guy could be ruthless when provoked, seeing Lan Baobao's unusual attitude would definitely set him off.
Ye Zixun could spar verbally with him, but tearing their relationship apart was something neither he nor Gu Feng could do.
And then...
He glanced at Lan Baobao. Although she looked adorable, drenched in sweat, she wasn't worth the price because she had torn apart the relationship between the two families.
"However, I'm not like some men who take in anyone and everyone, wanting to possess every woman they see. Zi Xun, I have principles when it comes to choosing women. If I don't like her, I won't take her, you know that," Gu Feng retorted defiantly, the two of them exchanging barbs in a verbal duel.
Lan Baobao rode her bike vigorously, completely ignoring the childish bickering of the two men beside her. She didn't even consider that their back-and-forth was about her; all she wanted was to finish today's one-hour mission to shed a little fat. As for who her husband was arguing with like a child, it didn't matter!
Lan Baobao gradually increased her speed while Gu Feng began to sweat slightly. Bai Chen's training just wasn't suitable for him.
He simply moved his bike to the back of Ye Zixun's car and sat beside him, bantering while enjoying the ride.
Ye Zixun sneered, "Master Gu, is your morning exercise just sitting in someone else's car, drinking water and breathing fresh air?"
"Fresh air is equivalent to a breathing exercise. Ye Zixun, she's beautiful."
"She's okay."
If she were ugly, he wouldn't have sought out this woman to bear his children in the first place.
"No, you don't understand! Lan Baobao is the most beautiful woman. Such a good woman easily attracts jealousy."
Thinking of Mu Jiangfeng made Ye Zixun feel angry, but recently Lan Baobao's performance had somewhat satisfied him.
Since their marriage, he had blocked all calls from Mu Jiangfeng. This aspect of Lan Baobao was commendable.
"Master Mu can't take someone else's wife away; it's impossible. If his mother were willing to let him marry such a woman, he wouldn't have run away from home back then. I can't stand his attitude; he's always opposing me lately. Before the wedding, he created trouble for me and almost prevented me from attending.
That kid took advantage of my busy schedule to sneak off and meet her. Mu Jiangfeng, that Stinky Kid—it's impossible to let my guard down!"
"Not only do we need to be cautious, but we also need to correct him properly. As for the others..."
Gu Feng furrowed his brow slightly, but when he wasn't completely sure, he wouldn't say anything unnecessary.
Gu Feng didn't, and Ye Zixun was too lazy to ask.
The two big men drove a Bentley behind Lan Baobao, appreciating the sight of her sweating while riding her bike.
Finally, after riding for a while, the temperature gradually rose; after all, it was summer. Lan Baobao was sweating, her sports tank top soaked and sticking to her body.
Before Ye Zixun could stop the car, Gu Feng jumped out of his seat and walked over to Lan Baobao in a few steps, handing her a bottle of mineral water.
"You must be thirsty; have some water."
Gu Feng smiled gently and brightly. Lan Baobao didn't think too much about it and immediately took the water, gulping down a couple of swigs.
Wiping her mouth, she smiled and said, "Gu Feng, thank you! You're really thoughtful."
"It's nothing. I see you working out so hard; you must be tired. You need to replenish your fluids."
This water was clearly prepared by Ye Zixun, and now it had been given away to Gu Feng for free. When did he become so cunning...
Lan Baobao and Gu Feng walked alongside the bike, finally giving the two a chance to chat.
Ye Zixun felt his throat involuntarily move. Looking at Gu Feng made him even more annoyed. He had argued with Gu Feng for nearly an hour to prevent him from having a chance to talk to Lan Baobao, yet he hadn't even thought about how Gu Feng knew that Lan Baobao had gone out to ride early in the morning. Did Lan Baobao tell him?
She was already married to him; how could she still have any entanglements with Gu Feng?
But when did she contact Gu Feng this morning?
Ye Zixun kept staring at her, yet he was still caught off guard by her. Her counter-espionage actions seemed to have become even more sensitive.
Ye Zixun sensed that Gu Feng's feelings for him were still special, a dangerous ticking time bomb that needed to be dealt with quickly. Moreover, he was very concerned about Lan Baobao's previous comment that Gu Feng "wasn't any less attractive than Ye Zixun."
Although it was just a contractual marriage, five years ago when he got involved with Lan Baobao, it had already determined the ownership of this woman. As long as she was his woman, her heart could only belong to him. Ye Zixun would not allow anyone, including his own son, to surpass his existence in Lan Baobao's heart. No one could do that; he couldn't tolerate someone like Gu Feng prying into the whereabouts of his precious baby.
However, Gu Feng seemed completely unconcerned. She leaned close to Lan Baobao and whispered something in her ear. Instantly, Lan Baobao's eyes sparkled with excitement, and the fatigue from riding disappeared as she exclaimed, "Really!"
Super! Not! Happy!
Ye Zixun got off the car with a sour expression, slammed the door shut, and walked over coldly to Lan Baobao: "Lan Baobao, the time I promised you last time is up. Shouldn't you give me an answer now?"
Lan Baobao was still elated. Just now, Gu Feng had told her that they could travel freely together, and he would accompany them with the two kids following behind. During the day, they would be together, and at night, he would take care of the two kids as they went to sleep. This trip would also include Li Xiaoran and two nannies. He absolutely wouldn't let the two kids encounter any danger.
In this way, Ye Zixun wouldn't get upset at night because of being disturbed by the kids. Lan Baobao could also be with the two children. She didn't know how to express her gratitude to Gu Feng.
