Chapter 9 - That seems to be your sweet wee wife

“Our club is home to bothfemale and male customers. We have swimming poolsand gyms. Some male customers feel boredand they will ask forgirls to join the exercise.Theypay generously about 500 RMBeachtime. Of course, we don’t care about tipsor other gray income.” Sister Liu explains.

Gu Yanxi’sface blushes at once. She dosn’t know that nowadaysclubsoffer such service. Although she is out of money, she will never be a gym partner.

“Sister Liu, bothLeading Role and One VS One Body-shapingare suitablefor me. I won’t be a gym partner.” Gu Yanxi says ina low voice.

Sister Liu says implicatively, “Many part-time college students said that they would not be a gym partner atthe beginning, but they changed their mind gradually…They can earn more money after all.”

Gu Yanxi shakes her head firmly, “I will never be a gym partner. If ‘gym partner’ is mandatory, I will not work here.”

“OK, you can work any time. If you need money badly, we can pay you daily. If you work well, you can get bonus.” Sister Liu nods.

Gu Yanxi decides to work in the club. Teaching children to dance is easier and has more freedom, but the wageis low. She will be fine as long as she takes a firm stand.

Sister Liu asks a dressed-up woman here and says to Gu Yanxi, “This is the gym team leader-Linda. She will arrange your work according to your schedule.”

Gu Yanxi bows to Linda and says,“Linda, nice to meet you.”

Linda smiles, “Smart girl. Gu Yanxi, nice name. Nobody uses his true namehere. You can name yourself another alias.”

Gu Yanxi scratches her head vexatiously, “Linda, I don’t know how to make a new name. Can you give me a name?”

Linda simply replies, “Howabout Mich?”

”OK.” Gu Yanxi nods her head.

Gu Yanxi’s dance major is Belly and Latin, which are hotly favored in thebody-shaping class.

Gu Yanxi considers that she has nothing to do and Huo Yichen is on business trip, so she teachestwo classes, each withdozens of members. Theyvaryin aptitude-fat, short, old, and picky. Gu Yanxi really cherishes this chance. She hides her haughtinessand teaches them patiently and meticulously. She feels tired after teaching, butluckily there is no complaint.

The first day, she got 400 RMB, which is the first time she earnsmoney. She holds the money in her hand for a long time.

Gu Yanxi buys a bunch of carnations to the hospital and puts it on her father’s bedside table gently.

“Dad, I worked today. I earnedmoney. Just smell these flowers.I bought themwith my wage.”

Huo Yichen is on his business trip for one week.

Gu Yanxi feels free these days. She goes out at 9AM every day, has two lessonsin the morning, eats a simple lunch, and has two lessons in the afternoon. She has 800RMB wage everyday. Cook Sister Zhang asks her why she sets it early and returns late everyday. She just repliesthat she goesto the hospital to take care of her father.

Gu Yanxi has consulted aprivate detective.What she wants for tracking and candid-camera investigation charges a lot, 30,000RMB each month for one person. If the targets aretwo people-Gu Zi’an and Liu Manman at the same time, 60,000RMB will be charged eachmonth. Therefore, she needs to earn more money to hire a private detective.

Considering her good appearance, Linda advices Gu Yanxi to be a gym partner if she is out of money. If she makesthe customershappy, the tip is much more than her wage. If the customer has a crush on her, shecan charge as shewants. However, Gu Yanxi always shakes her headand expresses that she has working principles and bottom lines.

”Yichen, I take you to exercise here, and you mean to mug me.” Qin Feng complains to Huo Yichen when they get off.

Huo Yichen doesn’t want to show Qin Feng a stinky face, but he misses Gu Yanxi now and then for the last several days. He wants to go home at once after landing, but Qin Feng picks him to exercise directly form airport. He doesn’t want Qin Feng to know that he misses his wife, so he can do nothing butaccompanyhim here, which is the reason that he is in a bad mood.

Theygo to the first floor to wait for the elevator. Huo Yichen tilts his head and sees a figure flash. He frowns and goes away to the stairs over there.

Qin Feng goes after Huo Yichen, “Are you crazy? Why do we climb stairs? We can take an elevator.”

“We are here toexercise!” Huo Yichen scolds him.

Qin Feng keeps talking until they reach the 2nd floor.Suddenly his eyes are bright, “Wow, so many beauties. No wonder you climb stairs to the 2nd floor, no such view if we took the elevator.”

Huo Yichen ignores Qin Feng and takes a glance around.Could it be his eyes are dazzled?

Qin Feng waves to Huo Yichen, “Come here, there is a girl with her insane body shape.”

Huo Yichen is about to climb to the 3rd floor, but Qin Feng drags him to a window and points to him, “See, that leading-dance girl, look at that long legs and small waists…her figure is much better than those actress in your company.”

Huo Yichen followsthedirection of Qin Feng’sfinger, at just one glance, with his fists on the thigh sideclenched suddenly.

Gu Yanxi, how daring this woman is tocome here to dance when Huo Yichen is out. What she is wearing is merely a piece of cloth, which covers the most important position, and the skirt coversher hipbone, with most of her tummy and waist exposed.What’s the difference between this dressing and beingnaked!

When that leading-dance girl turns around, Qin Fengopens hismouth in surprise and falters “Yichen, that girl…seems to beyour sweet wee wife.”

With his bottom-ash face, Huo Yichen turns step to upstairs. Qin Feng catches one of the coachesnearby to consult, and goes after him with vigorous strides.

Theyput onthesportswear and run on a treadmill respectively.

After running for a while, Qin Feng cannot keep quiet any more and asks, “Do you give her any money? Four lessons one day, she can only earn 800RMB.”

Huo Yichen says in acold voice, “No.”

Qin Feng curls his mouth, “No wonder. No onebelieves that Huo Yichen’s wife earns money by dancing.”

Huo Yichen turns off the treadmill and goes to weightlifting.

Qin Feng follows Huo Yichen and cannot lift any more after several attempts, “It’s really boring for two men’sexercise.Why notget two partners?”

“OK.” Huo Yichen replies.

Qin Feng is quite surprisedat Huo Yichen, who has agreedso straightforwardly. Previously, Huo Yichen always despises himfor “asking forgym partners”.

So, today, Huo Yichen’s abnormal behavior must be owing to his wife.

Qin Feng waves his hand to get the foreman, “Go to find several partners.”

The foreman goes to bring seven girls at once. These girls are quite beautiful, especially with their nice body shapes. They exercise in this gym everyday.

Qin Feng goes round to see these girls and points at a girl, “You, go to accompany Mr. Huo.”

That girl cannot restrain happiness on her face. Mr. Huo usually goes to this gym, but this is the first time to ask for gym partners. If she can serve him well to get even a small role, that means she can getinto the entertainmentcircle.

That girl comes to Huo Yichen with a sweet voice, “Hi, Mr. Huo.My name is Mimi.”

Huo Yichen, without givingher aneye contact, says directly, “Next one.”
