The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 36 Swimming is great! You have to learn to swim!

At dusk, at the Lio Sports and Fitness Center.

Jiang Ruan stood on the elliptical machine, her jet-black hair tied in a low ponytail, her fair and flawless face adorned with exquisite makeup, and her long, straight legs encased in yoga pants.

However, she seemed somewhat distracted at the moment, her eyes glancing every now and then toward the entrance of the aerobic training area.

For the past five days, Jiang Ruan has come to the Lio Sports and Fitness Center as soon as she gets off work each night, hoping to have another chance to run into Gu Heng.

However, it lasted for a full five days.

However, she never had the chance to run into Gu Heng again.

'Could it be...'

'Has he been coming during the day lately?'

Jiang Ruan sighed softly to herself.

However, just as she was about to pick up her water glass, stop waiting for Gu Heng, and head to the treadmill for incline training...

As that familiar figure appeared in her peripheral vision, her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

"Eh?"

"Jiang Ruan?"

"coincidence."

Gu Heng looked at Jiang Ruan in front of him and greeted her with feigned surprise.

In the past few days, Gu Heng has been busy looking at houses and taking over the Zhencui Group, so he really hasn't had time to pay attention to Jiang Ruan. Occasionally, they communicate via WeChat, but it's mostly related to Jiang Ruan's job.

However, despite his busy schedule, Gu Heng paid close attention to Jiang Ruan. Every night before bed, he would check her WeChat Moments and see that she had been checking in at the gym for several days in a row, so he naturally kept track of her activities.

Today, Gu Heng came here specifically to bump into Jiang Ruan.

Putting aside the fact that Gu Heng was originally very interested in beauties like Jiang Ruan, he still had to take some action because of the challenge mission.

"Mr. Gu, what a coincidence."

Are you here to work out too?

Jiang Ruan's eyes sparkled with excitement. She quickly pressed the pause button on the elliptical trainer, then grabbed her water cup and hurried over to Gu Heng.

"Yes."

"I've been quite busy these past few days and haven't had time to come over."

Gu Heng smiled and nodded: "I plan to come here today to climb the hill and go for a swim."

After a week of recuperation, and with the added benefit of the [Eternal Day Engine] buff, Gu Heng's body is now able to support him in engaging in some low-intensity exercise again.

Speaking of which, after a 30-day extreme weight loss program...

Now that Gu Heng hasn't exercised for a long time, he's really itching to get back to it.

"Mr. Gu, shall we go together?"

Jiang Ruan asked tentatively.

"Okay."

Gu Heng smiled and nodded, and then the two walked side by side toward the treadmill area.

After arriving at the treadmill area, the two each got on a treadmill.

Gu Heng adjusted the slope to 10 and the speed to 4, and began to walk slowly on it. Jiang Ruan, meanwhile, kept an eye on Gu Heng's slope and speed and adjusted them to match his.

"Jiang Ruan, judging from your WeChat Moments, you seem to really enjoy working out?"

Gu Heng looked ahead and casually asked Jiang Ruan beside him.

"I've maintained the habits I developed in college after I started working."

Jiang Ruan tucked a stray hair behind her ear and replied with a smile, "Sometimes when I feel stressed, coming here to exercise and sweat it out is quite a stress reliever."

"Eh?"

"So where did you go to university?"

Gu Heng asked curiously.

"Civil Aviation University of China"

Jiang Ruan answered truthfully.

"Flight attendant?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow and then guessed.

How did you guess?

Jiang Ruan looked slightly surprised.

Gu Heng smiled and said, "Judging from your temperament and demeanor, it's obvious that you've received professional training. I originally thought you were a graduate of an art school."

"Chairman Gu, I'm not as good as you say."

Jiang Ruan was a little embarrassed.

"Then why didn't you choose to work for a civil aviation company after you graduated?" Gu Heng asked Jiang Ruan with some curiosity.

"because……"

Faced with the question raised by Gu Heng, Jiang Ruan suddenly became inexplicably depressed. She opened her mouth, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, Gu Heng realized that there must be some story behind it.

He silently kept this matter in mind, and at the same time, he wisely did not continue the topic, instead talking to Jiang Ruan about other things.

The two climbed the treadmill uphill for about half an hour, and stopped when they felt they had warmed up enough.

"Shall we meet on the fifth floor?"

Gu Heng asked Jiang Ruan.

"Ok."

Jiang Ruan stood there awkwardly, watching Gu Heng leave. She breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, I applied waterproof foundation beforehand."

As she spoke, she turned around and walked quickly toward the stairs leading to the women's changing area.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Gu Heng stood on the open space of the swimming area on the fifth floor, slowly doing stretching exercises.

"Mr. Gu, I'm here."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

A familiar, pleasant voice sounded behind Gu Heng, and he turned around to look back.

When he saw Jiang Ruan in front of him after she changed into a swimsuit, even though he had prepared himself mentally, he was still amazed by her beauty.

Her originally low ponytail of jet-black hair was now piled high behind her head, and the black one-piece swimsuit perfectly outlined Jiang Ruan's exquisite figure, exposing her two snow-white arms, as well as her fragrant shoulders and beautiful back.

Besides that, the most eye-catching part was Jiang Ruan's two exceptionally long, straight, fair and tender legs, which were now intertwined perfectly without any gaps.

Under the lights above the swimming pool, Jiang Ruan's pure, pale skin made her look almost glowing.

"Not long."

"I've only been here for a few minutes."

Gu Heng looked away with some difficulty, and answered calmly.

"Mr. Gu, what swimming style do you usually like to swim?"

Jiang Ruan stood in front of Gu Heng and imitated him by doing stretching exercises together.

It has to be said that Jiang Ruan, who works out regularly, has a really great figure.

A little too much fat makes you look fat, a little too little fat makes you look thin.

Every time she raises her arms, stretches her legs, or squats, it's incredibly beautiful.

Gu Heng glanced at it twice, then had to look away slightly.

Because he was afraid that if he kept watching, this innocent young chef would embarrass himself.

"I only know how to do the breaststroke; I don't know any other swimming styles."

Gu Heng responded, "However, I plan to find a coach to learn freestyle swimming soon, to increase the training of my shoulder and arm muscles."

After 30 days of extreme weight loss, Gu Heng lost weight, but he didn't have much of a figure to speak of; he just had the figure of an ordinary, normal person.

It's not bad-looking, but it's not exactly beautiful either.

Now that Gu Heng has basically achieved financial freedom and has more free time, he plans to further improve his physique and start muscle-building training once his body is in good health.

"Mr. Gu, would you like to learn freestyle swimming?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan's eyes lit up slightly: "My best swimming style is freestyle. If you want to learn freestyle, I can teach you."

"This……"

"convenient?"

Gu Heng felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Compared to those muscular swimming coaches, Jiang Ruan is clearly more attractive, and this incident can also give the two more opportunities to spend time together.

"Independent travel is easy to learn."

Jiang Ruan smiled and replied, "You have a foundation in breaststroke, you can learn it in a few days."

"Shall we start today?"

Gu Heng raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't hesitate.

"Okay!"

Jiang Ruan nodded quickly and immediately began to explain: "Then let me first explain the key points of the freestyle swimming technique to you..."
