Chapter 882 - Familiar Sprightly Figure

Platinum Sky Condominium.

Long Jinjing gave one last kick to the focus mitt that Robin was holding before falling to the padded gym floor and not moving. She was gasping so hard and desperately trying to breathe more oxygen into her deprived lungs. It felt like all her energy had been used up in Robin’s super intense 45-minute self-defence training.

"Excellent work, Miss Jinjing." Shun who played the part of "attacker" in the self-defence scenarios they covered today handed her a bottle of water, the cap already removed, but she couldn’t even raise herself from the floor to receive it.

Robin removed her focus mitts before helping her up. Long Jinjing felt embarrassed but was helpless because she really felt too exhausted.

"Thanks."

"No problem, Miss Jinjing," Robin said with a smile. "I’ll give you thirty seconds to catch your breath before we have to do cool down exercises and stretching."

Long Jinjing wanted to cry. "Can I skip it?"

"I’m sorry, Miss," Robin said, her tone sympathetic. "Boss Hao personally designed and approved your training program. We have to follow it or we’ll get into trouble."

Long Jinjing sighed and nodded. She didn’t want Robin and Shun to get into trouble because of her. However, she intended to complain to Lu Zihao later and ask him to make her training a little lighter and suitable for regular people like her. All she wanted was to increase her strength and stamina and learn a bit of self-defence, not become a soldier or a professional fighter.

When Lu Zihao told her that he wouldn’t go easy on her and that she should prepare herself, he really wasn’t joking. This kind of training was like the ones she watched in action movies, maybe even more brutal and less showy. Although Robin and Shun called the moves that they were teaching her self-defence, she felt like they were more like assassination techniques.

Fine, she was exaggerating but the moves were still more violent than what she expected self-defence to be.

After completing the cool down exercises and the stretches, she felt a little better and was able to walk by herself without needing any assistance.

"I...I’ll cook us dinner," she offered.

"Absolutely not, Miss Jinjing!" Robin looked horrified at the thought, not at Long Jinjing’s cooking, but at her Boss Hao’s anger if he discovered that his subordinates allowed his tired girlfriend to cook for them.

"Please rest, Miss," the calmer Shun said. "We’ll order take-out for dinner instead."

Long Jinjing sighed again and nodded before heading to the master bathroom to shower. When she was finished, she headed to the living room to watch some TV. A freshly showered Robin was in the open kitchen making some fruit smoothies.

"Where’s Shun?" Long Jinjing asked, heading to sit at the kitchen counter instead to chat with Robin.

"He’s in the lobby waiting to receive our take-out dinner from the delivery person. Boss Hao doesn’t allow any outsiders to come to this penthouse." Robin handed Long Jinjing a tall glass of smoothie with a straw.

"I see. Thanks." She sipped the smoothie and smiled. "This is delicious."

"Glad you like it, Miss."

Long Jinjing swept her eyes across the huge penthouse unit while enjoying her smoothie. The place was empty. There were no decorations or picture frames that revealed the owner’s personal style or identity. All the necessary furniture was present but they were more functional than stylish.

She didn’t like this kind of impersonal space but Lu Zihao wanted them to stay here for a few days. Speaking of Lu Zihao, he had become somewhat lethargic after their stay at Dragon Palace Home #10.

He would only have sex with her for one, maybe two short rounds before falling asleep. He also slept longer and didn’t wake up all throughout the night. She wasn’t complaining because it also gave her valuable time to catch up on some much-needed sleep. However, she was starting to feel worried about him.

When she asked him about it, he just brushed her off and told her not to worry. He was just tired from work. Then he proceeded to ask her to stay at his penthouse a few cities away.

"Why?" she asked him last night.

"I have to work in that area in the next few days so it’s more convenient for me to stay there," he explained. "I’m feeling a little tired so I don’t want to travel far every night just to be with you."

She remembered feeling touched to hear that he wanted to stay with her every night. However, she didn’t agree right away. "What about my work? I also don’t want to travel far away every day."

"You’ll use my helicopter."

"W-what? No!"

He looked at her with his deep, dark eyes. "Jinjing, it’ll only be for a week. Do it for me, okay? I’ll make it up to you later. Whatever you want, I’ll do it."

She thought about it before eventually agreeing. And that was how she ended up staying at his penthouse. Her best friend, Chen Fei, would love this kind of large and modern place but it wasn’t for Long Jinjing. She still preferred her small and homely two-bedroom unit.

"Robin, do you know what time Ni—Zihao will come home?" she asked after glancing at the clock.

"Boss Hao doesn’t have a set schedule, so it’s hard to guess what time he’ll finish work."

"I see." Long Jinjing looked at the panoramic view of the city’s night lights outside the ceiling-high glass windows. "I hope he comes home soon. He’s not feeling well. I don’t want him to get sick."

"Don’t worry, Miss Jinjing. Boss Hao is the toughest man I know. He won’t get sick that easily."

She nodded and finished her glass of smoothie. Right at that moment, Shun arrived carrying what should be their take-out dinner.

"Shun, you’re back—" Her eyes widened upon seeing the familiar sprightly figure behind him.

"Well, I’ll be damned! If it isn’t Jinjing girl! Bahahaha! You’re really here! So Shunnosuke here didn’t lie to this old man after all! Is it true that you’re my pinheaded grandson’s girlfriend? Tell me, I want to know!"
