A few days later in the morning, just outside the weight training room in the centre, there was the sound of crisp and rapid footsteps in high heels.
What time was it ?
As he ran on the treadmill, Mai Weizhe wondered.
The team warm up started at half past seven, but Mai Weizhe was always an hour earlier than everyone else. He had his own training schedule.
The door opened, and the head of a person appeared.
Mai Wezhe was running at the speed of seven or eight miles per hour and did not slow down. However his line of sight immediately locked in on her , staring at her as she took a step into the room.
She was still dressed the same way, a hundred percent OL dress – white shirt, royal blue skirt and black high heels.
It was a simple dress, but it emphasised all her strong points – her slender waist, long legs and all that had impressed him at the first glance.
Her reaction was still the same.
Whenever she found him looking at her from top to bottom, she would feel uncomfortable, press her lips together and glare back at him.
Mai Weizhe held back a laugh and asked, “ Why are you here so early ? Do you have to practice ?”
She waved her hand and put a printed document right under his nose.
Right at the top were the headlines of an internet magazine.
There were big, clear photos – of the back of a woman, also in a white shirt and a narrow skirt. At the centre of the picture, the person was clearly Mai Weizhe. He was holding her hand and glaring at the photographer. The handsome and unhappy face was very clear, impossible to mistake for someone else.
“ Oh..” his reaction was very subdued. He continued to run.
“ Oh? This is your reaction ? Have you read this ?” There was suppressed anger in her voice.
“ No, but I can probably guess the content.”
Although he said this while breathing rapidly, his tone was indifferent.
“ That day when the reporter was taking these pictures, you were here. Why are you so shocked ?”
“ Please read the article.”
Mai Weizhe grabed the paper out of her hands , quickly browsed it and then pushed it back to her. His running did not slow down.
“Read it.”
“ What did you think ?”
“ How will anyone know its you ?”
These were groundless accusations, but he was long accustomed to this.
Moreover, he had solemnly warned the reporter not to put a picture that would positively identify her. They did it. The damage had been controlled to a minimum. Why was she so angry ?
“ How can you still ask?” Li yongxuan couldn’t help but raise her voice. “ They have mentioned the name of our group.”
“ That’s not because of me..” he tried to interrupt.
But Li Yongxuan didn’t pay attention to him, she continued to rant, “ maybe you like being treated like a star, scandals and gossips every day, but I don’t! Can you think about someone else ?”
Mai Weizhe never cared about these things but at this moment, he felt inexplicably angry.
His footsteps became heavier and banged on the treadmill.
“ You casually say a few words. Do you have any idea how much trouble you caused me ? My work..”
Mai Weizhe angrily hammered on the panel and the machine stopped. He took one big step and stood face to face with her.
“ I am only going to say this one time”, he growled ferociously at her, “ I did not reveal your identity. I am not a celebrity, I will not deliberately create fake news.”
He roared so loudly that she felt a slight pain in her eardrum. Faced with the man’s anger, she involuntarily took a step back.
“ According to my information, you…” . Why was she suddenly feeling a shortness of breath?
Mai Weizhe had no intention of letting her go that easily. Like a cheetah who had locked in his target, he moved forward as she retreated. He took a big step so that the distance between the two was less than fifteen centimetres.
She took another step back and he moved forward again, his amber eyes flaming with anger.
“ Are you worried that the news will be seen by your darling director ?” He stared at her and lowered his voice , and asked one sentence , “ Are you so angry because you think he will misunderstand ?”
( Miumiu : ok I am confused as to how Mai Weizhe knows about Li Yongxuans crush on the director. I read through all of the earlier translation but there wasn’t any mention. lets just assume that its common knowledge amongst the team )
Li Yongxuan bit her lip, and woodenly moved her head to the side.
“ I’m talking to you. And you look guilty.” He forced her to move closer. “ What is the work that is going to get affected? Is it just an excuse ? Is the assessment report so important ?”
Since he had been running, his Tshirt was soaked in sweat. He finally took it off, revealing his naked upper body and the fine muscles honed from years of exercise.
A wide , naked chest was being displayed in front of her. With the warmth of his body, the faint tang of sweat, his breath, they were so close, she felt overwhelmed.
“ Uh, uh..” Li Yongxian cleared her threat, “ You.. can you first put on a shirt ?”
His evil side reared up. Ever since he had met her , it seemed his naughty side was always ruling.
“ Excuse me ?” He deliberately moved closer. “ Will the director blame you ? Will he be upset about this scandal ?”
He was so close, her nose almost hit him. She forced herself to move back. Her face was flushed. There was no way to move any more backwards.
“ That.. that’s none of your business” she burst out desperately.
Mei Weizhe’s thick eyebrows scrunched together. “ It’s not my business? Then why did you come early in the morning to find me and accuse me of a crime ?”
Her eyes were wandering, she was afraid to face him. She had lost her earlier momentum.They were too close,she could even clearly hear him breathing.
He was slightly hasty, and she was slightly unstable. As he leaned forward, he could smell a very light but nice fragrance. He wondered what perfume she used to create this effect…
“ You…” His voice was low, and a bit hoarser. The ambiguity in the atmosphere was becoming stronger.
Bang !
The door opened suddenly with a bang so that they both suddenly regained their senses. They turned around and looked at the door at the same time.
The team was getting ready to start their warm up.
The youngest member, Anrun was standing at the door, stunned, staring at the boss.
For a long time, all three of them stood in place, stunned.
“ I..I’ll go wash my hands.” Anrun recovered , and dropping the sports bag in his hands, he ran.
He was indeed a speed skating athlete, he disappeared soon.
Realising that his teammates were soon going to appear, Mai Weizhe no longer confronted her and let her go.
He went to the big window and grabbed a towel to wipe off his sweat.
In the early morning sunshine , his body shone like it was covered with gold dust.
After she looked at him, Li Yongxuan’s heart was even more chaotic. She dared not look at him anymore. Quickly she turned around and moved to the bench by the weightlifting area and sat down.
He put on a clean t shirt and sat down beside her.
Thankfully, now, not only was he wearing clothes, but he also sat down at least thirty centimetres away from her.
They were silent for a moment till he said, “ You really care about him.In my opinion, the story is not such a big deal, and if it’s causing you troubles, I can help explain it.”
She shook her head, in fact, she wasn’t even sure if the director would see this piece of news.
“ Not because of that, it will cause problems in my job..”
“ Your job ? “ he really didn’t understand and his eyebrows were slightly scrunched.
“ This training centre was originally funded by a foreign company. Is it strange that your company wants to invest now ? What is the problem ?”
Li Yongxuan bit her red lips. She hesitated for a moment, and asked him a bit uncertainly, “ Can you keep a secret ?”
“ No”, he said frankly, realised she was irritated and was amused and laughed again. “Ok, I’ll try to keep it a secret ?”
“In fact, I haven’t come here just to evaluate the sports centre”, she honestly admitted, “ there are other motives , but these are in the planning stage, so the beginning will be bit cumbersome. The lesser visibility we get now the better it is.”
“ Ok.”
She really could not believe it! He didn’t speak the whole time, and then spoke only to say ok ?
“ Don’t you want to ask what these motives are ?”
“ These are very boring things , and I don’t want to spend any effort in unnecessary stuff, so you can keep your secret”, he said.
“…..” she was really speechless.
She left the weight training room and walked on the promenade, one part of her feeling that there was actually something very strange.
He said he didn’t want to spend any effort on unnecessary things, then why did he insist on prodding her for so long ?
Her head was spinning, but her thought process was interrupted by the oncoming person.
Anrun saw her and grinned, a cute look that made people feel relaxed and happy. Not like some other people who could create a sense of oppression.
She waited until he was closer, then apologised, “I’m sorry you saw us quarrel.”
“ You were quarrelling ?” Anrun’s childish but handsome face was suddenly covered by a blank expression. “ I thought.. Mai Brother was kissing you.”
His words were like fire, burning up her ears !
Miumiu : Ha ha , the only reason he was pushing her for an answer ..wasn’t it because he was jealous ? The minute she said it was something else related to works, he lost all interest do you think they would have kissed if young Anrun hadn’t interrupted ?
A few days later in the morning, just outside the weight training room in the centre, there was the sound of crisp and rapid footsteps in high heels.
