Chapter 37 The scheming Liang Huaixu wasn't wearing any clothes! ...
Liang Chaoluo ran over and took a sip of water before swallowing it, then went to the kitchen and took out a small bowl.
"I was thinking we'd be having dinner later, so I didn't call you." He pulled out a chair for Ms. Zhuang solicitously. "I haven't touched this side, and the fried eggs are still intact. Would you like to try some?"
Zhuang Fuyao was a little hungry, so she sat down and said "okay".
In that instant, Liang Chaoluo straightened up as if he had received a get-out-of-jail-free card, and secretly glanced at Lao Liang.
Liang Huaixu stood to the side, remaining silent for a long time.
Zhuang Fuyao took a couple of bites, then realized the atmosphere was a little awkward, especially when she saw the father and son staring at her. She asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Liang Chaolu lowered his eyes, looking somewhat aggrieved, as he prepared to complain about Lao Liang to Ms. Zhuang.
At this moment, Liang Huaixu suddenly sat down opposite her and said, "It's nothing."
Liang Chaoluo looked stunned.
"There wasn't much going on at the company today, so I left early." Liang Huaixu looked at her bowl and asked, as if curious, "Is this tasty?"
"It's delicious! Haven't you ever tried it before?"
She called to Liang Chaoluo to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks.
Liang Chaolu hesitated for a moment, because he didn't believe that Lao Liang would eat snail rice noodles.
After the bowls and chopsticks were brought over, Zhuang Fuyao's expectant gaze fell on Liang Huaixu. "Want to try some?"
"Can."
Liang Huaixu spoke naturally, picked up his chopsticks, and took a bite.
"How about it?"
He nodded. "Not bad."
Liang Chaoluo: ? ? ?
No, who was it that almost went berserk after seeing him eating snail rice noodles at home?
Why did Lao Liang's attitude change so drastically when it was Ms. Zhuang's turn to eat, and he even started eating?
This is such blatant discrimination!
"Dad," Liang Chaoluo gritted his teeth, a hint of defiance in his voice, "isn't it pretty delicious?"
Liang Huaixu glanced at him, then casually looked away, as if the person who had just spoken was just air.
"..."
So blatantly ignoring him, Liang Chaoluo exaggeratedly clutched his heart, putting on a hurt expression.
Zhuang Fuyao chuckled softly.
Seeing the two arguing, she could roughly guess what had just happened.
It's just a bowl of snail rice noodles.
She comforted her son, "Don't be sad, okay? I made your favorite Sichuan spicy chicken tonight."
Upon hearing this, Liang Chaoluo was instantly delighted, feeling a warmth in his heart. He thought to himself, even if Ms. Zhuang had lost her memory, she still remembered that he loved Sichuan spicy chicken the most.
Unlike Lao Liang, who hasn't made this dish at home in the past five years unless he mentions it, his family hasn't made it.
He said meaningfully, "My mom is still the best to me."
Seeing him like this, Zhuang Fuyao suddenly understood the saying, "No matter how old a child is, he is always a child in front of his parents."
Even the male protagonist of the novel is no exception; after unloading his burdens, he is completely different outside than at home.
Not long after, the chef called them to eat.
After what seemed like an eternity, the family of three was finally reunited.
During the meal, Liang Huaixu's eyes always held a gentle expression, neither scolding nor lecturing.
This was the most comfortable meal Liang Chaoluo had had at home in recent years. Enchanted by the atmosphere, he didn't rush to leave. After dinner, he accompanied Ms. Zhuang for a walk in the garden.
Liang Huaixu did not go with them.
After finishing my meal and resting for a while, I went upstairs to work out.
After finishing a set of exercises, he walked to the window and watched the two people taking a walk for a while, a faint smile on his lips. Then he took a sip of water and continued exercising.
After this period of body sculpting, his body fat percentage is now very close to what it was when he was younger.
Even in terms of appearance and shape, it is superior.
Even without sucking in his abs, he has a solid six-pack.
Twenty minutes later, he went to the window again and looked out.
They're still taking a walk.
His lips were a little flatter than before; he went back to continue exercising.
……
Twenty minutes later, he looked serenely at the two people who were still taking a walk.
The relationship between father and son is like the saying, "Distance makes things better, closeness makes things worse."
When Liang Chaoluo hasn't been home for a long time, he misses him a little, but staying home for too long also gets annoying.
He made a phone call to Liang Chaoluo's supervisor.
Upon receiving a phone call from his boss, the supervisor acted swiftly, and Liang Chaoluo received the notification very quickly.
He scratched his head in frustration.
Zhuang Fuyao asked, "What's wrong?"
Liang Chaoluo sighed, "My boss suddenly gave me a task at the last minute, and said it was due tonight."
The boss really knows how to time things perfectly. This task requires the data he copied onto a USB drive. I need to drive over now, pick up the USB drive, get the task done, and that should finish the day.
Although he was speechless, he knew that work was not the place to act like a spoiled brat.
Liang Chaoluo: "Mom, I have to go now. I'll come see you again next time."
Zhuang Fuyao expressed her understanding, as Liang Chaoluo was at his busiest during this period in the novel's plot.
"Drive safely. You may be busy, but you should also take care of your health and eat regularly."
"Okay, I will."
……
As soon as Liang Chaoluo left, Zhuang Fuyao received a message from Liang Huaixu: [Could you please bring me a bottle of water to the gym?]
Okay, wait for me.
Since she doesn't have much to do right now, she can go over and get some exercise. Who knows how busy things will be after the restaurant opens? Good health is the foundation of everything.
Zhuang Fuyao had initially taken two bottles of ice water from the refrigerator, but then, remembering Liang Huaixu's usual health-conscious habits, she quietly put one back. She then went to the study, found his thermos, and filled it with warm water.
Pushing open the gym door, Liang Huaixu was doing lat pulldowns, his shoulders tightened, revealing a broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted shape.
Most importantly, Liang Huaixu was not wearing any clothes!
She was only wearing a pair of gray sweatpants!
Because of training, his skin was slightly flushed, his hormones were surging, and he had a just-right sexiness.
Hearing her open the door, Liang Huaixu stopped what he was doing and turned around. The gym lights illuminated his toned waist and abdomen, and his V-line extending downwards was clearly visible...
Zhuang Fuyao swallowed very softly.
Liang Huaixu picked up the towel next to him, wiped his sweat, and put on the black sports short-sleeved shirt next to him.
Having witnessed the grand spectacle just now, her current attire, ironically, possesses a captivating allure, a kind of veiled allure.
Zhuang Fuyao's heart pounded as she handed over the water.
He hadn't expected Zhuang Fuyao to give him a thermos. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Actually, regular water is fine."
"I was going to get you some ice water, but it doesn't really suit you."
Liang Huaixu raised his eyebrows curiously, "Then what kind of water would go well with me?"
"Soak goji berries in a thermos."
"..."
"But I couldn't find any goji berries, so I just gave you a warm cup."
“There’s no need to go to such trouble.” Liang Huaixu paused for two seconds and said, “I’m in good health, no less than many young people in their early twenties.”
Zhuang Fuyao nodded to indicate that she had remembered, and asked him, "Have you finished your workout yet?"
"Just finished practicing. I practiced for ten minutes longer than usual today." He asked casually, "It's still early, want to go see a movie?"
"No, thank you." Zhuang Fuyao shook her head. "I want to do some aerobics to get some exercise."
Liang Huaixu pondered for a few seconds, then calmly said, "Alright."
"You should go and rest first. I might turn the volume up really high."
"Um."
Hearing her indirectly telling him to leave, Liang Huaixu's eyes held a deep, unreadable expression.
He regretted saying he had finished practicing, and even mentioned that he had practiced for ten minutes longer than usual.
Given the current situation, and having already explained everything, it's not appropriate for him to stay any longer.
"Then you should get some rest too."
After offering a word of concern, he went back to take a shower.
When Liang Huaixu had free time, he enjoyed reading. He read both domestic and foreign classics, and even some dry and boring historical reference books.
He reads very quickly, usually finishing a whole book in just a few hours.
But tonight, he had only turned two pages of the book in his hand after half an hour, and he seemed somewhat distracted.
He was thinking about Zhuang Fuyao's coldness towards him just now.
After Dr. Guo pointed it out to him and he got over his mental hurdle, he couldn't control himself anymore. Like a young boy, he couldn't stop thinking about her, even when he closed his eyes. He dreamed about her. He thought about her even at work, wishing he could come back to see her immediately.
Especially after the intimate moments on his last night in Yunnan Province, his mindset changed a lot.
After all, no matter how much one tries to deceive themselves, a normal man cannot remain indifferent when helping the woman he loves do this kind of thing.
Without those demanding self-expectations, his mind was completely disturbed.
But compared to him, Zhuang Fuyao seemed to have forgotten about that incident. She then recalled her refusal when he invited her to the movies.
It's hard for Liang Huaixu not to overthink things. Is she starting to realize she shouldn't have done this with her ex-husband? Is she regretting it? Is she starting to avoid him?
But when she saw the results of her fitness workout, her eyes were clearly filled with amazement, and after that amazement, nothing more happened.
What exactly is she thinking?
Liang Huaixu couldn't figure out what she was thinking, nor could he ask anyone for advice. After all, this kind of thing was too private, and even the best of relationships shouldn't bring it up.
He turned a page of the book with slight annoyance.
-
Zhuang Fuyao brought a mobile screen to the gym and started exercising using it.
There are so many more learning resources online now than before, and even fitness plans are different for different groups of people.
For example, the fitness blogger she followed today felt that she was within her comfort zone, not too tiring and easy to stick to.
Half an hour later, Huang Jiayu called.
Zhuang Fuyao pressed the pause button, walked to the side to stretch her legs, and answered the phone.
Huang Jiayu, unaware of her illness, smiled meaningfully and asked, "How are you? Did you fall asleep?"
Zhuang Fuyao sighed, "Don't even mention it. I got a fever on the second day after I checked into the guesthouse. He took care of me for two days, and we just slept under the covers. He didn't even hold my hand."
Huang Jiayu received an overseas education from a young age and has a relatively open mind; she usually discusses these kinds of things directly. She's also quite blunt, asking, "Is he not quite there anymore?"
Zhuang Fuyao almost choked. "Didn't the internet say that men can still be intimate at seventy?"
Huang Jiayu: "Everyone's situation is different. As far as I know, there are people who become impotent in their twenties because they did too many bad things in the past."
A strange glint flashed in Zhuang Fuyao's eyes as she thought back carefully. Having lived with Liang Huaixu for so long, she had indeed never witnessed him acting strangely.
Except for that dream that day...
The irrepressible curve of his hand as he helped her was quite something.
At other times, that's not the case.
Huang Jiayu continued, "Otherwise, how could I possibly share a room with such a beautiful woman like you without any romantic thoughts, especially since you two are ex-husband and wife... You know, there are many couples who, even after divorce, still continue to do what they used to do."
Although Zhuang Fuyao had some doubts in her heart, she still defended him in front of her cousin, saying, "It's not that bad. I know him. He's different from other men. He's really a gentleman in many ways."
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Fuyao thought about the scenery she had just seen at the gym and the dream she had.
...It was incredibly realistic; the ultimate pleasurable experience still leaves me wanting more.
This is just his hand.
Therefore, whether the hardware is good or not is not that important.
Anyway, she likes Liang Huaixu as a person, and they still have decades to live together.
If she has physiological needs, she can use her hand, or he can use his hand to help her... Thinking of this, his breathing became heavier.
Zhuang Fuyao quickly shook her head, feeling that it was not appropriate to think about such things at night.
Having just recovered from a cold, she needs to practice moderation and focus on health for a while.
