78: Chapter 78 Zhao Xinlian, A Bit More Haggard 78: Chapter 78 Zhao Xinlian, A Bit More Haggard The bathhouse featured individual, enclosed stalls with no gender separation.
After all, it was just a place to quickly rinse off sweat before most patrons would choose to take a more thorough bath at ho.
However, standing at the entrance, Chen Wei encountered a significant problem.
Entry to the bathing stalls required a mbership card, which he did not have, as he had gained access through Zhu Hong and she had not left her card with him.
How was he supposed to take a bath?
“Don’t have a mbership card?
I’ll swipe you in,” Debbie’s voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Before Chen Wei could make up his mind, she had already swiped her staff pass over the scanner, and with a beep, the door to the bathhouse unlocked automatically.
“Thank you.” Soone had just done him a huge favor, and Chen Wei replied out of politeness.
“Don’t ntion it.”
Placing her hands on Chen Wei’s back, Debbie proceeded to do sothing he had not anticipated at all.
Debbie actually pushed Chen Wei into the bathhouse with her, and with a click, locked the door from the inside.
“What are you doing?” The bathhouses were designed for individual use, and standing so close inevitably led to more physical contact.
It made Chen Wei inadvertently recall the sensation of his encounter with Lin Yibai the previous night.
“Since it’s because of that a jerk like Carol bothered you, it’s only right that I offer to wash your back as an apology,” Debbie said, then reached for the hem of Chen Wei’s shirt and yanked it upward.
Go to hell!
The smile froze on her face, and in an instant, Debbie was startled.
Then, quickly, Chen Wei spun around, grabbed Debbie’s wrist, and with his other hand, opened the door.
Before she could react, he tossed her out like tossing a small chicken, saying, “There’s no harassnt to speak of.
To , that guy is nothing but a punching bag.”
A gold championship belt Boxing King, just a punching bag?
Debbie wanted to make a snide remark, but upon reflection, it seed that might indeed be the case.
There was a simple reason why Chen Wei kept his distance from Debbie; he didn’t want trouble because of Zhu Hong.
Not to ntion, the relationship between Zhu Hong and his sixth senior sister, Liu ng, was not shallow.
“An interesting man,” remarked Debbie, her sensuous lips curving up in interest instead of diminishing, her curiosity about Chen Wei only deepened.
She didn’t leave but waited at the doorway for Chen Wei to finish his bath, get dressed in his suit, and erge once again as the well-dressed brute, the “refined scoundrel.”
This stark contrast dazzled Debbie.
She could only describe him in three words, “So cool!”
Nibbling her lip.
You haven’t left yet?
Chen Wei sighed involuntarily.
“Is it because of Miss Zhu that you’re unwilling to accept ?”
“Or do you think I’m a woman of loose morals?”
“By the way, what exactly is your relationship with Zhu Hong?
Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?
If I rember correctly, she doesn’t like n.
“However, for soone as outstanding as you, it’s only natural for her to fall for you.”
…
Throughout the way, Debbie ca across as very assertive, clinging closely to Chen Wei’s side, almost as if the words “conquer ” were written on her face.
Chen Wei was completely ignoring her, continuing to walk until they reached the main entrance.
There, he stopped and locked eyes with soone.
Chen Wei felt sowhat helpless, as his accidental encounters with his ex-wife, Zhao Xinlian, had beco rather frequent lately, hadn’t they?
It seed that no matter where he went, he could run into her.
Compared to before, she looked even more haggard, and thinner…
her bones were visibly outlined.
Chen Wei!
It was initially Debbie’s foreign accent in Great Xia language that caught Zhao Xinlian’s attention.
But to her surprise, when she turned her head, she saw a blond-haired, blue-eyed woman with a curvaceous figure, exuding an exotic charm, laughing and chatting while linking arms with her ex-husband.
For so reason, seeing this scene made Zhao Xinlian’s heart feel an inexplicable discomfort.
Have you moved on to another woman so quickly?
And a foreign woman at that.
Your love is truly worthless!
Zhao Xinlian didn’t intentionally follow Chen Wei; she was simply at the gym to exercise, hoping that working out might help increase her appetite.
She hadn’t expected to have this accidental finding.
At that mont, Zhao Xinlian suddenly rembered the incident in the restaurant, the misunderstanding where she had accused Chen Wei of having an affair during their marriage.
“Miss Zhao?” The receptionist who had processed Zhao Xinlian’s gym mbership called out to her when she didn’t respond.
“Okay!
I’ve got it, thank you.” Taking the mbership card from the receptionist’s hand, Zhao Xinlian hastily left, never imagining that she would one day have to actively avoid Chen Wei.
“You keep working; I won’t disturb you any longer.” Chen Wei took his arm away from Debbie and left the gym.
Debbie watched Chen Wei’s retreating back, feeling an itch in her heart.
She silently swore that one day she would make him surrender!
In the past, others would cling to her, trying to get close.
Chen Wei’s unique and indifferent attitude gave her a feeling she’d never experienced before.
“Could it be that I’ve awakened so sort of peculiar fetish!” Debbie wondered uncertainly.
“Miss Elle, the lady client from just now specifically requested your class.
She’s in Area 7, please go see her.”
“Okay.” The receptionist’s words brought Debbie back to the present.
Now wasn’t the ti to think about Chen Wei; she had to seal this deal!
Arriving in Area 7 of the gym, Debbie quickly noticed Zhao Xinlian’s presence.
She was the type Debbie liked; however, she felt that Zhao Xinlian gave off a sickly vibe, which didn’t really go well with the lively atmosphere of the gym.
Putting those thoughts aside, she took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and squeezed out a professional smile.
Debbie approached Zhao Xinlian, who sat on the fitness equipnt looking lost and unsure what to do, and said, “Hello, Miss Zhao, I’m Elle Debbie, the gold award-winning trainer from Everyday Fitness Gym.
Just call Debbie.”
“Mhm,” Zhao Xinlian responded, her gaze sizing up Debbie.
What a great figure, and such a beautiful face—could definitely be a model, right?
No wonder that guy would…
“Miss Zhao?”
“Ah!
What?” Zhao Xinlian snapped back to attention.
“I was asking if you need to explain how to use this equipnt?”
“Oh yes, please do, that would be great.
I’m new here and don’t know how to use any of it,” replied Zhao Xinlian.
“Don’t ntion it, it’s what I’m here for.
Now, lie down here, hook your feet under this, and then exert force upwards, using mainly your leg strength for maximum effect,” Debbie instructed Zhao Xinlian ticulously.
After a set of basic movents.
“Coach Debbie, may I ask if the man you were with in the lobby earlier is your boyfriend?
Don’t get wrong, I’m just…
I guess I’m really not good at making conversation, sorry.” Zhao Xinlian tried to smile awkwardly as if she was indeed soone not adept at socializing or making casual talk.
