Chapter 72: Just finished Pilates practice for Christmas

Zhuang Fuyao knew that Liang Huaixu would be very busy on Christmas Day, so she didn't bother him.

—Of course, the main reason is that she doesn't really have that much time.

Song Qing's band threw a Christmas-themed party and invited many friends over, including singers, internet celebrities, and second- and third-tier stars. They were all handsome men and beautiful women, and the atmosphere was fantastic.

Besides Zhuang Fuyao and Shu Run, Cheng Fan also came.

They hadn't gotten together in a long time, and when they met, they had a blast.

After a period of high-pressure work, Shu Run decided to relax tonight, spending time with friends and drinking several bottles of wine.

Slightly tipsy and excited, I didn't even notice my phone vibrating.

Tonight is Christmas Eve, and Liang Chaoluo wasn't sure if he would have to work overtime, so he gave Shu Run a heads-up.

To his surprise, she was not only not disappointed, but also exceptionally considerate, telling him to go to work and not worry about her.

Shu Run's thoughtfulness made Liang Chaoluo feel even more guilty, so he sped up his work, finishing in half the allotted time. As soon as he was done, he called her.

She didn't answer several of her calls.

He then realized that Shu Run really wasn't prepared to spend Christmas with him. The next time he heard from her was when he saw a post on Ms. Zhuang's WeChat Moments; she was probably having a party, and he could feel the lively atmosphere even through the screen.

No wonder I didn't have time to reply to his messages.

The important thing is that neither Ms. Zhuang nor Shu Run invited him to come and play together!

Liang Chaoluo felt frustrated but refused to go over, so he just lay on the sofa playing games out of boredom. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Shu Run finally called.

He thought Shu Run was going home and was about to go pick her up.

Shurun ​​said that the three of them had all had a few drinks, so they booked a room nearby and wouldn't be going home that day.

Liang Chaoluo: ……

-

After the party, the three of them talked all night. When she got home, Zhuang Fuyao took a long nap and woke up at dinner time.

Liang Huaixu sent her many messages, mostly sharing his life there, or rather, reporting back to her.

After the Liang family transferred most of their businesses back to China, Liang Huaixu was very busy with work and rarely went to England. He usually only made time to go there to spend time with his elders around Christmas each year.

His life there was very fulfilling: dining with family and visiting exhibitions, going to wineries for wine tastings with friends, playing polo at clubs… and so much more.

Since he was so eager to share, Zhuang Fuyao naturally had to reciprocate.

However, unlike Liang Huaixu, who only took outdoor photos, she directly posted photos of herself.

Her period had just ended, so she made an appointment to go to Pilates. She realized that her metabolism at 38 was not as good as before, so if she wanted to maintain her ideal figure, she had to force herself to exercise regularly.

Besides maintaining her figure, she also wanted to improve her physical fitness. She always got so tired towards the end in bed. She was the one who initiated things, but she was also the one who couldn't keep up with her energy. When she finally begged him to stop, she felt so ashamed and indignant...

To satisfy her Pilates practice, which she does three times a week, Zhuang Fuyao bought many different styles of yoga clothes.

After finishing dinner and digesting for a while, she went to her evening class.

After training, she would look in the mirror for a long time, thinking how beautiful she looked and how great her figure was...

You look even better today than usual!

Her skin looked especially radiant after sweating, and her figure was curvaceous. She posed for many photos that showed off her figure and sent them to Liang Huaixu.

At the dinner table, the Liang family was discussing Liang Huaixu and Zhuang Fuyao. Upon hearing the news of their reconciliation, Mr. and Mrs. Liang happily offered their blessings.

Since losing their eldest son, their mindset has changed drastically. They now believe that as long as their children abide by the law and don't cross basic moral boundaries, they won't interfere.

Therefore, they supported all the decisions their youngest son made.

Moreover, Huaixu is so outstanding in his career, what more could he possibly want?

When did you two plan to remarry?

Ning Xi blurted out, "You'd have to ask my sister-in-law. My brother hasn't gotten his mother-in-law's approval yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, her mother secretly kicked her. After realizing what had happened, Ning Xi quickly shut up and glanced guiltily at her cousin.

Oh no, I hope her cousin won't get away with the graduate school gift he promised her.

Liang Huaixu's face didn't show much emotion, but he was indeed slightly annoyed by her words. After answering his mother's question, he didn't say anything else.

Things only improved after receiving a message from Zhuang Fuyao.

Zhuang Fuyao: [Just finished Pilates~]

There were seven or eight photos following behind.

Liang Huaixu stared at the photos for a long time, the crystal chandelier reflecting in his deep eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

The air felt a bit warm.

He calmly put down his phone, took off his vest, and asked the maid to hang it up for him.

At this time, Ningxi talked about a private graduation party that her graduate school classmates were planning. Ningxi really wanted to go, but her parents wouldn't allow it, so she had to take a roundabout approach and start with her uncle.

"It's really safe. Those are my good friends from my graduate school days, and there are also Chinese people there. We just get together to dance and drink. It's absolutely safe, and nothing like that will happen."

She has doe-like eyes, and when she acts cute, her eyes become moist, making it very easy for people to soften their hearts. Her whole family dotes on her.

Mr. Liang also doted on his little niece. At his age, he just wanted the younger generation to act cute in front of him.

Mr. Liang said to his younger sister, "Congrong, let her go. If you're really worried, have a bodyguard accompany her."

With his elder brother speaking, Liang Congrong had no choice but to back down. He emphasized to Ning Xi, "You must go home tonight. You can't stay overnight there. I'll have a bodyguard go with you and bring you back on time."

Although having bodyguards along was a bit of a downer, it was still better than not being allowed to go at all. Ning Xi nodded excitedly, "Okay, okay!"

She was just about to tell her friends the great news.

My cousin, who had been silent just moments before, suddenly said, "The bodyguards are useless. You all know how Ning Xi is good at getting rid of bodyguards."

Ning Xi pouted, offering a very weak protest. It was all her fault for accidentally touching a sore spot for her cousin, which was why he was now "getting back at" her.

Sure enough, my cousin said the next second, "The parties here are chaotic. Don't take any chances. You can go to the parties if you want, but wait until you go back to China. I won't interfere with how you have fun in China, but not here."

Ning Xi looked at her uncle with a bitter face.

Mr. Liang wouldn't embarrass his son in public. He coughed lightly and said, "Your brother is right. It's better not to go."

Ning Xi: "………."

She muttered under her breath, "This is outrageous and inhumane!"

Liang Huaixu ignored her and got up after finishing his lunch. Ning Xi wanted to make one last effort and followed behind him.

Noticing a little tail following him, Liang Huaixu said indifferently, "Go do what you're supposed to do."

Ning Xi said matter-of-factly, "This is a public area. I was just passing by. Who was following you?"

Liang Huaixu glanced at her, not interested in playing house with a child, and went upstairs.

Ning Xi panicked and stopped pretending to be just passing by. Her tone became as gentle as possible. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have interrupted your and my sister-in-law's affairs. My dear brother, I have a feeling that you will definitely succeed in getting my sister-in-law back into the marriage!"

Seeing her cousin's unwavering pace, she shouted, "And it'll be quick! Trust me!"

She tried to flatter her cousin to get him to agree, but to her surprise, he was unusually cold and unyielding today, heading straight for his room. "Brother, please listen to me! Even if it's about to behead someone, you have to listen to a debate, right? Why are you in such a hurry to go back to your room—"

My cousin always manages to coordinate his work during these days every year, so it shouldn't be work-related.

"Go take a lunch break."

"When did you develop the habit of taking a lunch break on your days off?" Ning Xi muttered. "Could it be because you're getting old?"

Liang Huaixu paused slightly and sneered, "You can forget about going to the graduation party. I'll have security increase patrols."

With a bang, the door slammed shut, shutting Ning Xi out.

It's finally much quieter now.

Liang Huaixu unbuttoned two buttons, let out a sigh of relief, and opened the photo that Zhuang Fuyao had just sent him.

These are all normal posed photos of sports. But the parts she photographs are either the chest or the buttocks.

Yoga clothes are already very tight-fitting, so the photos don't turn out very well...

The moment he saw it, he almost had a reaction, but he managed to suppress it with willpower.

It had only been six days since he last found relief. If it were the old him, he would have forcibly suppressed his desires and reflected deeply on them.

But after Zhuang Fuyao's conversation with him that night, things changed. She said he wanted to face his desires honestly and that she wanted to stay with him until they were seventy...

Although saying seventy years old is a bit of an exaggeration, it showed her attitude, which made his shame dissipate a lot.

A few days ago, when he consulted a family doctor in the UK, he heard similar comments. The doctor said that as long as it is a normal frequency, it will not only not harm the body, but will also be beneficial to physical and mental health.

A wave of heat passed through my chest.

He called Zhuang Fuyao, his voice slightly hoarse, "I saw the photos you posted. Are you home yet?"

"I got home early and even took a shower..."

Do you have plans for tonight?

"There is one. I'm about to try out Huang Jiayu's company's product, and she asked me to write a user feedback."

"Then you go ahead and do your work, I'll call you back later."

"Don't hang up yet."

Zhuang Fuyao glanced at the products on the bed, a light blush spreading across her face. "When we're trying out the products, we might need you."
