I am not just a tycoon

Chapter 319: Chapter 279: My Wealthy and Beautiful Neighbor

“Let’s do it together.”

Mr. Shen stated without a doubt, “The pool isn’t big, but it can accommodate five or six people without a problem.”

“Um… Mr. Shen…”

Ji Ya’s cheeks turned red as she stammered, “I, I don’t have a swimsuit. And later, when you all are in the pool, you’ll certainly need someone to serve from above, so I should just stay up here.”

“That’s not necessary, just prepare what we need beforehand.”

“As for the swimsuit, just have someone send over two sets.”

Mr. Shen stood up and patted Ji Ya’s elastically full yoga pants-clad backside, “Alright, that’s settled. Let’s go, let’s work out together.”

Ji Ya opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Mr. Shen didn’t give her the chance to speak and headed down the stairs to the basement level.

“Ah~”

Ji Ya was on the verge of tears, knowing where there were women, there was strife, especially since these three women all liked the same man.

She was just an ordinary assistant, and staying in a pool with these “distinguished” women would surely draw their ire.

“Hurry up, Ji Ya!”

Mr. Shen’s urging voice came from the basement level.

“Oh, oh, coming.”

Ji Ya was startled, interrupting her train of thought.

Upon reaching the basement level, Mr. Shen had already changed into his sportswear and sports shoes and was warming up his limbs, “Let’s start, we’ll run for half an hour and then work on the equipment for another half.”

“Oh, okay.”

Ji Ya nodded; she had been informed of today’s plan yesterday, so she dressed in yoga pants and sports shoes when she woke up.

Both started on the treadmills, walking briskly for a warm-up, and then Mr. Shen set his speed to 10 km/h with a 3% incline, while Ji Ya set hers to 6 km/h with no incline.

When it came to fitness, Ji Ya was a novice, only doing Liu Genghong’s workout routines occasionally during her time off.

But Liu’s fitness routines were basic and not very intense, making them easy to follow.

However, running was different; a few minutes was fine, but beyond ten minutes, Ji Ya began to gasp for breath, panting heavily, her cheeks, neck, and chest turning red, as sweat gushed out of her pores.

“Mr. Shen, I, I can’t do this anymore.”

Ji Ya struggled on the treadmill, waving at Mr. Shen next to her, indicating her desire to quit.

“A woman can’t say she can’t do it, run with me for another ten minutes.”

Mr. Shen’s breathing was quite steady, barely breaking a sweat, the show-off maintaining Peang Yuyan’s physique and fitness level, such running was merely a warm-up for him.

“No, Mr. Shen, I really can’t anymore.”

Ji Ya refused to run anymore, setting the treadmill speed to 3 km/h and starting to walk at an even pace.

But the intensity of the workout had been too much for her; sweat continued to flow, and her chest heaved.

Mr. Shen, I can’t do it anymore….

“That line sounds so familiar….”

Mr. Shen murmured to himself, and then suddenly remembered, Ji Ya had said the same line in his room last night during her training.

However, he found it somewhat exciting to hear it during the workout, so he extended his left hand and adjusted her treadmill speed back to 6 km/h.

Consequently, Ji Ya was forced to run again.

But as she ran, the same sentiment kept emerging, “Mr. Shen, I, I, really, really can’t anymore…”

“I can’t do this.” “Is it enough yet?” “Keep going? My body is really falling apart.”

These phrases echoed incessantly in the gym, thankfully, it wasn’t a public fitness center, and no one else could hear from the basement level of the detached villa.

Otherwise, who could stand a girl panting heavily and uttering such phrases?

Although his voice was pleasing and Mr. Shen was excited, it affected today’s plan.

It was supposed to be 1 hour of fitness and 2 hours of gaming, but influenced by Ji Ya, he had to change it to 2 hours of fitness and 1 hour of gaming.

Mr. Shen suddenly felt that the 50,000 a month was well spent because Ji Ya, apart from being a lifestyle assistant, also had to take on the roles of fitness coach, chef, and housekeeper.

In the evening, she had to fulfill another role.

Thinking to give Ji Ya a bonus next month, Mr. Shen contemplated this in his mind.

But Ji Ya seemed to be enjoying herself, showing no signs of fatigue and radiating a nourished beauty from inside out.

For instance, when cooking lunch, Mr. Shen watched her from the dining table, wearing a purple apron, frying loaches, her curved eyes focused on the pan, her face always with a satisfied smile.

“This cohabitation life is pretty comfortable, at least for now. Hopefully, the pool party in the afternoon won’t be too rowdy.”

Where there are women, there are matters; this isn’t just talk. Although Liew Menglu seemed to get along with her sisters on the surface, that was just superficial, and there were always undercurrents stirring.

Like the time when Qiao Lei, because Liew Menglu was clinging to Mr. Shen, complained petulantly at Liew Menglu’s housewarming.

Then, in the evening during the class, Liew Menglu felt discontented when Mr. Shen gave Qiao Lei ten extra minutes of lessons and also grumbled with pursed lips.

Sometimes Mr. Shen felt like he was dealing with children when with the three women, always needing to appease them.

Only Long Jinghan was less of a concern, always low-key and would mediate between the two.@@novelbin@@

The time quickly approached 2 p.m. when Liew Menglu drove her Porsche 911 with Qiao Lei and Long Jinghan to Mr. Shen’s villa.
