The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 96 The Two Women Meet
The next day, early in the morning.

After finishing breakfast, Gu Heng and Jiang Ruan left the mountaintop villa and headed to the high-end fitness studio he had rented.

He chose to stay home yesterday for a reason.

Now that he has successfully kept Jiang Ruan by his side, she naturally needs to return to a normal life.

Compared to the gym at home, the high-end fitness studio is obviously more suitable for Gu Heng to complete his daily training plan, and high-end physiotherapy equipment such as liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chambers are all installed in the studio.

"You drive."

As Gu Heng and Jiang Ruan walked out of the house, Gu Heng tossed the car keys to Jiang Ruan.

"I?"

Jiang Ruan was somewhat surprised.

"if not?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow: "If the assistant doesn't drive, does that mean the boss has to drive?"

Jiang Ruan said in a low voice, "I can drive, but I want to make it clear in advance that I am a novice driver and I don't have much driving experience."

"You'll get the hang of it after a few tries."

"Even if there's a collision, our car is fully insured."

Gu Heng waved his hand dismissively and said it was nothing.

"Row."

When Jiang Ruan heard Gu Heng say that, she didn't say anything more, thinking to herself that she would just treat it as driving practice.

Without realizing it, she had gradually begun to accept her role as Gu Heng's personal assistant.

Jiang Ruan drove, and Gu Heng sat in the main seat in the back.

Although the car was moving at a slow speed, Jiang Ruan drove quite steadily.

After arriving at the high-end fitness studio, Gu Heng changed his clothes and started training. He also didn't let Jiang Ruan sit idle, so he had her change into a set of sportswear and accompany him as a training partner.

The dark blue yoga pants accentuated Jiang Ruan's slender and long legs.

Standing there so beautifully, she certainly added a unique touch to Gu Heng's monotonous fitness training.

Yesterday, Gu Heng's strength training mainly revolved around HIIT, while today's strength training will focus on explosive power.

From medicine ball training exercises such as throwing squats, twisting ball throws, and lifting the ball and raising the legs, to box training exercises such as rotating box jumps, switching boxes, and split-leg box jumps.

In addition, various training equipment is also provided.

Although Jiang Ruan was a sparring partner, she simply stood by and occasionally handed Gu Heng water or a towel; she didn't actually spar with him.

Yesterday, Jiang Ruan bumped into Gu Heng doing battle rope training. It was already the last moment, so she didn't feel much.

Only today did she realize just how intense Gu Heng's workout routine was, and this was just the morning's training session. Similar high-intensity training sessions would continue in the afternoon and evening.

Looking at Gu Heng, whose face was flushed and who was gritting his teeth and persevering, Jiang Ruan inexplicably recalled the first time she met Gu Heng. His state then and now was exactly the same.

If I say I'm going to lose weight, then I will.

When it comes to shaping, let's focus on shaping.

Even though Gu Heng was a despicable and shameless bastard in Jiang Ruan's mind, she couldn't help but feel genuine admiration for his amazing efficiency.

"call……"

After completing the last set of mine rod training, Gu Heng's face turned somewhat pale.

As his chest heaved violently, the experts who had been accompanying him immediately rushed over, each with a clear division of labor and performing their respective duties.

"tonic……"

Gu Heng glanced at Jiang Ruan, his voice slightly hoarse.

"for you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan quickly picked up the supplement that the nutritionist had recently given her, which contained whey protein isolate, and handed it to Gu Heng.

After about five minutes, Gu Heng's heartbeat and breathing returned to normal.

"Let's go."

"Let's go eat."

Gu Heng looked a little tired. He said something to Jiang Ruan and then walked out of the gym first.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan silently followed behind Gu Heng.

High-end fitness studios naturally have their own dedicated nutrition restaurants.

Although it wasn't very large, it had everything one needed. When Gu Heng, surrounded by the crowd, slowly walked into the restaurant, the first thing he saw was Luo Xiwen sitting by the window.

Today she wore an apricot-colored suit dress with a stylish side-button belt at the lapel, making her look formal yet not overly serious.

Her jet-black hair was neatly piled up at the back of her head, her makeup was exquisite, and her demeanor was dignified.

Just as Gu Heng looked at Luo Xiwen, Luo Xiwen also looked at Gu Heng, and a smile naturally appeared on her beautiful face.

"Gu Heng, you're done training."

Luo Xiwen stood up and walked towards Gu Heng.

"Just finished."

Gu Heng nodded and asked with a smile, "When did you arrive?"

"I……"

Luo Xiwen was about to answer when she suddenly paused, because she saw Jiang Ruan behind Gu Heng.

Similarly, Jiang Ruan also saw Luo Xiwen.

Their eyes met, and the two women recognized each other.

After all, they are both creations of the goddess Nuwa, so it's normal to be impressed.

"I've only been here for less than ten minutes."

Luo Xiwen looked deeply at Jiang Ruan, then turned back to Gu Heng and answered.

"Have you had lunch yet?"

"not yet."

"Let's eat something together later."

"Okay."

Standing between the two women, Gu Heng naturally noticed their frequent glances. He didn't hesitate and introduced them generously: "Xiwen, this is Jiang Ruan, who will be my personal assistant from now on."

"Jiang Ruan, this is Luo Xiwen."

"She is my exclusive client manager at China Merchants Private Bank, and also my personal secretary."

Gu Heng briefly introduced the two women: "Your work may overlap in the future, so get to know each other and keep in touch if needed."

Personal assistant?

Luo Xiwen's eyes flickered slightly, then she smiled and extended her right hand to Jiang Ruan: "It's a pleasure to meet you. Let's keep in touch."

"keep in touch."

Looking at the dignified and radiant Luo Xiwen in front of her, and at the other's slender yet impressive figure, Jiang Ruan felt a strange sense of inferiority rising in her heart.

like……

It wasn't this big when we last met!
Could they be fraudsters?

Jiang Ruan was puzzled, while secretly observing Luo Xiwen's expression.

Although Luo Xiwen acted very gracefully, Jiang Ruan, with a woman's keen intuition, still sensed something unusual about him.

"Xiwen, is there something you need from me today?"

Gu Heng introduced the two women to each other, then put his arm around Luo Xiwen's waist and led her towards the window.

"It's just a small matter."

Luo Xiwen felt Gu Heng's somewhat intimate actions, and seeing that Gu Heng seemed to have his whole heart on him, the sense of crisis and tension that he had felt because of Jiang Ruan's sudden appearance vanished instantly.

Upon hearing Luo Xiwen's reply, Gu Heng understood what Luo Xiwen meant.

Clearly, having something to do was just an excuse; the real reason was that she missed him.

Compared to Xu Mo's overt emotional expression, Luo Xiwen is more reserved.

At this moment, Luo Xiwen felt as sweet as honey, but Jiang Ruan's feelings were completely different.

Jiang Ruan watched as Gu Heng ignored her and left with Luo Xiwen without even leaving her a seat at the table. She suddenly felt a sense of disappointment.

It is human nature to worry about inequality rather than scarcity.

Jiang Ruan watched the two chatting and laughing, then quietly walked to a more secluded corner, sat down, and began to eat lunch.

For some reason, she felt a strange bitterness about today's lunch...
