Super Rich by Doing as You Please-Chapter 105 - 94: Is Today a Special Holiday?
After shaking off the middle-aged man, Zhang Jiaxin and Xu Yun walked out of the fitness center. She let go of his arm.
’Compared to that middle-aged man, at least Xu Yun isn’t repulsive. And he’s handsome—a pretty decent guy, all things considered.’
She smiled and said, "Thank you for what you did back there."
"No problem. I just have to speak up when I see injustice."
Xu Yun added teasingly, "I can’t stand classless men like that either."
"To thank you, how about I treat you to dinner?"
"That’s not necessary."
Xu Yun declined. "I’ll just eat at home."
"Alright then." Zhang Jiaxin hadn’t expected to be rejected after she’d been the one to invite him to dinner.
However, this just went to show that he hadn’t bought her sessions to hit on her; he genuinely wanted to work out.
Xu Yun asked casually, "Do you live far from here?"
"It’s not too bad. It’s just over half an hour by bus or subway."
Zhang Jiaxin replied, "The commute isn’t considered long. Some of my colleagues travel for an hour or two." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Oh, that is pretty far."
Zhang Jiaxin asked in return, "What about you? Do you live nearby?"
"Mhm." Xu Yun nodded.
Zhang Jiaxin said with a hint of envy, "The apartments here can’t be cheap, can they? These are all luxury complexes."
This was also the reason their fitness center was located here.
Only people who didn’t have to worry about their livelihood would be willing to spend the money and have the time to work out.
With this, she was also trying to gauge his financial status.
After all, whether he was renting or owned the place, anyone who could afford to live in a nearby complex had to have a decent income.
"It’s alright."
As they talked, they reached the road by the main entrance. Xu Yun said, "Well, I’ll head back then. Be careful on your way."
"Okay, see you, Brother Xu."
Zhang Jiaxin asked, "By the way, what time are you coming tomorrow?"
"Not sure yet. We’ll see."
Xu Yun asked, "Why? Do you have something going on tomorrow?"
"No, I just forgot to remind you.
When you come tomorrow, remember to bring your own water bottle, a towel for sweat, and workout clothes."
Zhang Jiaxin said, "The ones I gave you today were provided by the gym, and the quality isn’t very good. I’d recommend bringing your own."
"Okay, got it. Thanks."
"You’re welcome."
As he said goodbye to Zhang Jiaxin, Xu Yun thought that she seemed like a decent person, not one of those so-called "trainer-tutes" you hear about online.
That Sun Yi from today, on the other hand, did seem a bit like one.
Faced with that kind of woman, the old Xu Yun might have been tempted. He used to live by the principle that if a woman came on to him, it’d be a waste not to take her up on it.
But now, he was more selective.
Besides, some things should only happen naturally, when the mood between two people is just right.
It shouldn’t be about deliberately setting out to sleep with a woman.
If you’re just driven by hormones, what’s the difference between you and an animal in heat?
After all, to be honest, it wasn’t as if he was lacking for female company right now—especially high-quality women.
Just as Xu Yun was opening his front door, the door to the apartment next to his swung open.
Su Mu, dressed in casual clothes and slippers, stood in her doorway. She grinned and asked, "Been out gallivanting all day and night? Finally decided to come back?"
"Did you install a camera outside my door?"
Xu Yun pretended to glance around before laughing. "How do you always know the exact moment I get home?"
"I just have good hearing. I heard you opening your door and came out to take a look."
"..." Xu Yun was speechless.
Su Mu then asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Nope."
"Want to come over and eat together?"
"Sure!"
Xu Yun immediately shut the door he had just opened and followed Su Mu into her home.
After they went inside, Su Mu asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"
"Big meat buns."
"We don’t have any."
Su Mu shot him a flustered, angry glare. "Be serious."
"Then just make whatever you want."
Xu Yun replied, "I’ll eat whatever you cook. I’m not picky."
"Alright, I’ll make dry pot shrimp today. You can watch some TV in the living room for a while."
With that, Su Mu headed into the kitchen to start preparing.
Xu Yun called after her, "Is Jinshu coming back after work today?"
"She should be."
Xu Yun sighed. "It’d be nice if something came up and she had to come back late."
"..." Su Mu was speechless.
After watching TV for a bit, Xu Yun grew bored and asked, "Want me to come help in the kitchen?"
"No, it’s fine. I’ve got it."
"Oh."
Xu Yun got up, walked over to the balcony, and began practicing his Eight Pieces of Brocade, planning to finish his daily set.
Just as he completed a full routine, his phone on the coffee table began to ring.
He picked it up and saw it was his mom calling.
"Hey, Mom."
Over the phone, Zhang Sujuan asked, "Are you off work?"
"I got off a while ago."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I’m about to. What’s up?"
"I have something to tell you."
Zhang Sujuan said, "I met a nice young woman. She’s a good person, lives right across from me, and often helps me out..."
"Mom, hold on. Don’t try to play matchmaker for me."
Xu Yun chuckled. "I don’t do blind dates."
"I’m not asking you to go on a blind date."
Zhang Sujuan explained, "This girl is coming to Jiangcheng for a visit, and I was wondering if you could take a couple of days off work to show her around?
It’s not safe for a young woman to be in Jiangcheng all by herself, not knowing the area or anyone."
"Is that all?"
"And also let her stay at your place for a few days, so she doesn’t have to waste money on a hotel."
Zhang Sujuan added, "Besides, your apartment is huge, and you live there all by yourself. You have a spare room."
"Mom, an unmarried man and woman living together... isn’t that a little inappropriate?"
