"It’ll definitely work! You’re his artist—he wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing."
"Alright, then I’ll go try now!"
Seeing Xia Duoduo eagerly begin packing her things, Ji Wei couldn’t help but laugh, "Not working out anymore?"
Xia Duoduo waved her hands hurriedly, "No, nope! Abs don’t happen overnight anyway!"
Watching her shove her belongings into her backpack in a hurry and head toward the reception desk, Ji Wei pursed her lips and shook her head.
It’s obvious this girl is the type to slack off after a couple of days!
"Miss Xia, here’s your card."
Xia Duoduo took the membership card handed back by the staff and turned around. She had only taken two steps when her gaze suddenly landed on the man walking towards the staircase. Her pretty little face turned pale in an instant.
What’s going on? Even in the gym, she’s running into that scumbag Xiao Zhen!
Xiao Zhen wrapped his arm around a curvaceous female influencer, chatting and laughing as they walked forward. Seemingly noticing an icy, piercing glare, he abruptly raised his head.
Seeing Xia Duoduo, Xiao Zhen visibly froze, a hint of astonishment shimmering in his eyes.
Xia Duoduo was dressed in a sexy sports bra, a vibrant shade of flaming orange that vividly accentuated her soft curves up top. Her waist was as slender as a willow stem, invitingly delicate with porcelain-white skin at her midriff. While her abs weren’t yet defined, faint outlines were beginning to emerge.
Her tight leggings hugged her rounded hips and long, slender legs perfectly, creating a striking silhouette.
She had tied her hair into a high ponytail, and her cheeks were still flushed pink from a post-workout glow. A few damp strands clung to her forehead from sweat, giving her an energetic, radiant look that was hard to ignore.
Xiao Zhen was completely dumbstruck.
The female influencer beside him quickly caught onto what was holding Xiao Zhen’s attention, her expression souring noticeably.
The influencer raised her exaggeratedly double-lidded eyes, giving Xia Duoduo a disdainful once-over.
This woman felt somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t quite place her. Definitely a forgotten D-lister, the kind with zero notoriety.
How could Xiao Zhen even be interested in someone ?
With a face full of disdain, the influencer clung to Xiao Zhen’s arm, speaking in a grating, babyish voice, "Brother Zhen, who’s that? Coming to the gym with a body like that—what an embarrassment! If it were me, I’d bury myself in a turtle shell out of sheer shame."
Xia Duoduo gave the influencer a sweeping glance and couldn’t help but let out a mocking laugh.
"Are you laughing at me? What gives you the right to laugh at me?" The influencer found Xia Duoduo’s laughter particularly grating, sure that it was meant to provoke her.
Xia Duoduo didn’t bother acknowledging the influencer, instead turning her gaze to Xiao Zhen, "She’s had plenty of work done on her face, right? Nose implants, double eyelid surgery—those breasts aren’t real either, probably don’t feel nearly as good as the actual thing. And you’re into this plastic surgery snake-face look? Xiao Zhen, your taste just keeps getting worse."
Her eyes openly betrayed her disgust and contempt, making Xiao Zhen’s expression grow darker and darker.
Spitting out her scathing remarks, Xia Duoduo turned and walked away, unwilling to spare a second glance at the scumbag, lest she involuntarily gag.
Of course, the scumbag wasn’t about to let her leave so easily. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Xiao Zhen was someone who cared a great deal about his reputation, and the remarks Xia Duoduo had just made had reached the ears of the surrounding onlookers. He could already hear murmured commentary about his poor taste.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhen pulled his arm away from the influencer clinging to him and strode over to Xia Duoduo, blocking her path.
"Miss Xia, I know you resent me for not stepping forward to clear up those rumors about you back then. But that’s between you and me. You can’t let your bitterness drive you to maliciously smear Jiaojiao. She’s had minor adjustments to her face, but she’s absolutely nothing like what you described, having work done all over."
