The next morning, as soon as Tang Xiaowan opened her eyes, she saw a handsome face tenderly looking at her, a familiar scent bringing her pleasure.
But after a few seconds of pause, she suddenly became alert, her eyes wide open: "What time is it?"
"Still early, six o’clock, are you hungry?"
"Oh, you scared me, there’s a meeting at ten o’clock, can’t be late."
"Are you hungry?" Leng Lingxiao asked again.
Tang Xiaowan shook her head, wanting to sleep more. She was busy with company matters during the day and accompanied her husband at night, she felt like she was made of iron, miraculously not falling apart.
Even as newlyweds, they should exercise some restraint!
But what could she do, she couldn’t heartlessly kick her dear husband out of the bedroom, could she?
The man was so good-looking, she really couldn’t bear to part with him!
"Come on, get up, come outside and exercise with me. You’re too weak, this can’t go on, it will affect your work sooner or later."
With just one sentence, Leng Lingxiao made Tang Xiaowan feel depressed. Her plump red lips parted slightly, her big eyes blinking in utter surprise, as if she thought something was wrong with her ears.
Wasn’t last night’s exercise intense enough?
Please, we’re not short on money, acting as if a delay in work would starve us?
I think you just enjoy tormenting me!
So, a sweet and soft voice came from Tang Xiaowan’s plump red lips: "Huahua, I’m so tired, I don’t want to go."
Leng Lingxiao naturally couldn’t resist his Little Wife’s coquettishness, feeling an itch in his heart.
But a man has to be tough when it’s time to be tough. The once-a-week special training, already delayed by his soft heart, had been totally abandoned. He was determined not to make the same mistake with the morning exercise.
However, his Little Wife’s beautiful eyes truly made him lose himself, hard to resist. So, his strong hand hesitated briefly.
"Huahua, I’m really tired."
"How about this, just purely... running laps, no training. That’s the bare minimum for morning exercise. Can’t do less than that."
"Running laps? Actually, running laps is pretty tiring too, back in Mei Garden, my grandma used to..."
"Just one lap, no obstacles."
"Oh, the kind without obstacles!"
Leng Lingxiao smiled and pinched Tang Xiaowan’s nose, then took the casual clothes that were already prepared by the bed to her, followed by the matching cotton socks and sports shoes.
Well, that’s quite comprehensive!
One lap? Yeah, that’s manageable, at least it’s not the dozens of laps type. Quit while you’re ahead.
"Then you go out, I’ll get dressed." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel{f}ire.net
"Sure sure sure, I’ll go out, then you be quick, you can’t just... after I leave,"
Tang Xiaowan pouted: "Underestimating me!"
Immediately, she changed into the comfortable casual wear, tied her shoelaces, and leisurely joined hands with Leng Lingxiao as they went downstairs.
"Tell me, how do we run?"
Leng Lingxiao glanced at his Little Wife doing warm-up exercises, and replied indifferently: "Simple, just run a lap around our house."
"What? Run a lap around... the house?"
Tang Xiaowan looked out at the sprawling estate with a sense of despair.
She had thought at most it would just be a small lap in the garden or a speed race or something, but she never expected Leng Lingxiao to use the entire estate as a running ground. It was quite frightening.
Alas, she had been deceived, she’d fallen for it!
Despite feeling dejected and helpless, Tang Xiaowan also understood Leng Lingxiao’s good intentions, so she bit her lip, frowned and set off.
Leng Lingxiao’s thin lips curled up slightly, following right behind her.
The sunlight filtered through the leaves, shining on them, with a gentle breeze fluttering by, filling the air with a freshness. Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help but take a deep breath, feeling not too bad, a slight smile flashing across her lips.
They started from the main building of the estate, quickly making their way along an ancient cobblestone path.
On either side of the path stood lush flower beds and neatly trimmed lawns, beautiful scenery filling their view, lightening their mood even more.
Tang Xiaowan ran ahead with ease, while Leng Lingxiao worked hard to keep up with her pace.
If it were a matter of speed, Tang Xiaowan would be far ahead—she was the school’s sports champion, after all. But in terms of stamina and endurance, she was no match for Leng Lingxiao.
The man had been consistent with his exercise for more than just a day or two, taking out half an hour for a physical workout even on his busiest days.
Indeed, it wasn’t long before Tang Xiaowan began to feel her breathing quicken and her feet heavy.
Fortunately, Leng Lingxiao kept encouraging her.
