Chapter 166: Coach Liew's Sense of Crisis
"Yuan Babe, do you need a shower?"
Fang Minhui walked over, kicked off her disposable slippers, and straddled Shen Yuan, hooking her arms around his neck, and gently biting his earlobe, she whispered,
"Whether you shower or not, I'm fine either way."
"Let me take a quick one."
Shen Yuan wasn't in a hurry, as it was quite hot today and he felt sticky.
"Then let me help you~"
Fang Minhui stood up, quietly followed Shen Yuan, and then silently dropped her towel.
Revealing a gorgeously fair and smooth body.
Ten minutes later, Shen Yuan walked out of the shower.
The lights had been dimmed by Fang Minhui, creating a soft and romantic atmosphere.
Fang Minhui was already kneeling on the bed, her face adorned with a subtle blush.
She pointed to the empty space next to her, presumably signaling Shen Yuan to lie down.
Shen Yuan's lips curved slightly, and without overthinking, he laid down.
"Hiss..."
Shen Yuan drew a sharp breath; it was indeed that familiar sensation.
Fang Minhui was not only a knight but also a skilled technician.
She was naturally talented and coupled with her eagerness to learn, it would be odd if she weren't successful.
As it stood, Shen Yuan was completely captivated by her in this regard.
When he was with Mrs. Lin or Coach Liew, he was the proactive one.
But with the class belle, he was the passive one.
Shen Yuan had no intention of turning the tables, as these things were more interesting with variety.
Tonight's first lesson was conducted by Fang Minhui, the knight, training Shen Yuan.
The second lesson was led by Shen Yuan, concerned that the knight might be too tired, he took on the teaching role.
As for the third lesson, it was a review class; all areas needed revising.
After three lessons, which lasted until 1 AM, both were quite tired, so they cuddled together and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, after having breakfast together at the hotel, Shen Yuan instructed his steward, Wen, to arrange for a driver to take Fang Minhui back to the school, while he drove to the Grand Hyatt gym.
Since she had bought too many things yesterday, Fang Minhui couldn't carry them all by herself. Before the Alphard arrived at the International campus dormitory, she called Chen Ling to come down and help.
After Chen Ling came downstairs, she saw the dazzling array of shopping bags in the car and widened her eyes in surprise, "My gosh, there must be at least ten bags here, how much did you buy?"
Chen Ling couldn't take her eyes off the bags, noticing they were all luxury brands.
Hermès, GUCCI, Dior, Balenciaga...
Although she hadn't purchased any, most girls had studied these brands to some extent.
Chen Ling's scalp tingled with envy, and she couldn't help but ask, "Minhui, how much did you spend last night?"
Fang Minhui thought for a moment and said, "I think it was over 300,000."
"Over 300,000?!"
Chen Ling swallowed, her expression full of amazement, "Shen Yuan is too extravagant, just for shopping, and all in one go."
Shen Yuan's generosity once again defied her expectations.
The first time involved two handbags, over 80,000;
The second time was a house, 3 million;
This time, although it was a 300,000 expenditure, it was just a routine expense, unlike something major like a house.
A 3 million house is bought outright and can be lived in for decades.
But consumer goods like these depreciate as soon as they're purchased.
Chen Ling couldn't help but touch the bags, her eyes turning red with envy.
"Here, Lingling, Shen Yuan also bought you a bracelet and a bottle of perfume."
Fang Minhui passed over a Dior and a GUCCI bag.
"And mine too!"
Chen Ling's eyes brightened as she eagerly took the bags.
"Minhui, how much were they?"
Chen Ling couldn't help but feel around in the shopping bags, asking a question.
Fang Minhui replied, "I think they add up to over 6,000."
"Over 6,000?!"
The 300,000 was ultimately Minhui's, but this 6,000 was wholly her own.
For someone who lived on a 1,500 monthly allowance, 6,000 was equivalent to four months of living expenses!
"Shen Yuan is just too nice, buying things for me too."
Chen Ling smacked her lips, somewhat touched, "You'll have to help me thank him properly next time."
"I already have."
Fang Minhui thought to herself that she had indeed thanked him three times last night.
Moreover, each time she thanked him, he made her call him "daddy," a bad habit she wasn't sure where he picked up from.
"Let's go, let's go upstairs. The driver has been waiting a long time."
Chen Ling helped Fang Minhui carry the shopping bags, and then the two went up to the dormitory together.
Zhuang Qiaofeng and Zhuang Yueyue were chatting in the dormitory. Hearing the door open and turning to see the two carrying at least 10 luxury shopping bags,
Zhuang Qiaofeng moved her lips but said nothing, while Zhuang Yueyue was also surprised but, having a slightly better relationship with the two, asked:
"Minhui...your boyfriend bought you all this?"
"Yeah."
Fang Minhui nodded proudly.
Although Fang Minhui was not one to show off, she also didn't feel the need to downplay her situation.
Everyone has a bit of vanity, especially since she didn't get along well with these two roommates, particularly Zhuang Qiaofeng, who had previously doubted the authenticity of her purchases.
"Tsk tsk, such extravagance!"
Zhuang Yueyue was incredibly envious, never expecting their dorm to breed a future wealthy lady.
Last time, I bought two GUCCI bags, and now she bought so many at once, it looks like at least a few hundred thousand.
Obviously, Fang Minhui doesn't need to struggle anymore; she can just lay back after graduation.
At this thought, Zhuang Yueyue felt bitter inside. We're in the same dorms, so why is there such a big gap between us?
Just because she danced, had a good figure, and was pretty?
Do rich people these days no longer like interesting souls?
What's there to be proud of, she didn't even buy them herself... off to the side, Zhuk Qiaofeng muttered resentfully.
She had always clashed with Fang Minhui, thinking if she had access to Shen Yuan, she could buy many times more than this.
But then again... Shen Yuan hasn't even accepted her WeChat request yet.
One should have a better newcomer lined up before giving up the old one.
So she had no choice but to stay with her current boyfriend.
Chen Ling smiled; she loved seeing Zhuk Qiaofeng's face as if she had swallowed a fly.
Last time, she was so insolent to claim they were all fakes, clearly sour grapes since she couldn't reach them!
Chen Ling's small eyes twinkled, then pretending to be naive, she picked up the Dior shopping bag: "Zhuk Qiaofeng, what brand is this? You know better, help me check?"
Zhuk Qiaofeng's mouth twitched. Are you blind? Can't you see the big four letters of Dior?
This woman is clearly doing this on purpose. But what's the fun in showing off with someone else's things?
Thinking this, Zhuk Qiaofeng sneered: "Why worry over salted vegetables and plain handling, it's not yours, why do you care about the brand?"
"Oops, sorry."
Chen Ling, pretending to be innocent, held the bag against her chest: "It's mine, though."
"And this one."
Chen Ling picked up another GUCCI shopping bag: "This one is also mine."
Zhuk Qiaofeng's face instantly grew darker, and she stormed out, slamming the door loudly as she went.
"Tsk tsk, such a big temper."
Chen Ling shook her head: "Minhui, I remember her boyfriend bought her a LV necklace for 3000 and she asked us like that too, right?"
"Why is it that when I asked her the same way, she got upset?"
The wicked have met their match. Chen Ling had been holding back for a long time, and finally let it out. This is what they call fighting magic with magic.
So, she felt very relieved now.
Fang Minhui had no way to deal with Chen Ling, as she was a person who held grudges, but seeing Zhuk Qiaofeng's expression, she also felt quite pleased.
Zhuang Yueyue initially thought to comfort her, but then she thought better of it.
She wasn't that close to Zhuk Qiaofeng. It was better to get on good terms with Fang Minhui; perhaps she could meet some rich second generations through her boyfriend.
"Hey, Minhui, what does your boyfriend do? Is he still in school?"
Zhuang Yueyue leaned in with a smile and asked.
Fang Minhui paused, a hint of loss flashing in her eyes, and replied, "He's still in school."
Chen Ling knew that Fang Minhui and Shen Yuan weren't publicly together, so she changed the subject: "Zhuang Yueyue, aren't you going to comfort your good sister?"
Even if Shen Yuan didn't buy her gifts, Chen Ling would help smooth things over, but receiving favors made one indebted, demanding more attention.
"What's there to comfort."
Zhuang Yueyue said nonchalantly: "It's not like we haven't had drama before; she'll be fine in a while."
This interruption made it hard for Zhuang Yueyue to keep prying.
Meanwhile, Fang Minhui felt sad thinking about not being able to be public with Shen Yuan.
The key issue was not knowing who the other girls around Shen Yuan were, or where she ranked in his heart.
....
Elsewhere, Shen Yuan had just arrived at the Grand Hyatt's gym.
He had reduced the intensity of his workouts, and each session was now only an hour.
Shen Yuan was now using the equipment very proficiently, and Liew Menglu didn't need to correct him anymore.
Including how many sets of each machine he should do, Shen Yuan had it all figured out, so she just made sure he was safe when he lifted heavy weights.
Liew Menglu thought this wasn't good. She had visited both gym centers and the yoga room, and Shen Yuan's workout phase was nearing an end. Read exclusive chapters at empire
Consequently, her importance in Shen Yuan's heart was waning.
After the workout, back at the suite, Liew Menglu laced her arms around his and said, "Shen Yuan, I feel like you need me less and less. What should I do?"
Shen Yuan paused: "Why do you say that?"
Liew Menglu shared her concerns with him, and Shen Yuan fought back a smile, "Aren't you still my personal attendant?"
Liew Menglu pouted: "But as a personal attendant, all I do is buy you clothes and shoes, there's little else I can help with."
"How can you say that?"
Shen Yuan squeezed her large, round buttocks: "With these big buttocks and this big softie, you can help me a lot."
"Ah, that hurts!"
Liew Menglu complained tenderly: "But it's different, although I'm already quite big, there are always others who are bigger."
Shen Yuan chuckled: "Even if there are others bigger than you, there aren't many who can squirt water."
"But... it's still different."
Liew Menglu still wanted to be helpful to Shen Yuan in life or work so that he would need her more.
Shen Yuan also knew that Liew Menglu felt insecure, which was actually a good thing.
He didn't lack for decorative companions, but he was short on people who could get things done.
"You think it's done after your visits?"
Shen Yuan smiled: "The first gym has already started improvement measures, the other two will follow through soon. You'll need to check their progress halfway through and at completion;"
"Also, video content and traffic redirection for the Fast Music and Little Rainbow platforms are being adjusted."
"Your own Fast Music videos were pretty successful, I saw you had quite a few followers. When the company is adjusting video traffic, I will need you to oversee that."
Upon hearing this, Liew Menglu rose up on her toes, her eyes twinkling: "Alright, alright, that's what I'm good at."
As Shen Yuan walked her to the shower room, wrapping an arm around her waist: "I'll ask HR to create a special consultant position for you so you can get involved, and the company will pay you a salary."
"Alright, alright!"
Liew Menglu's spirits lifted, but gradually she sensed something was amiss: "Why are you pulling me into this room?"
"What do you think?"
