Chapter 784 Exercise Together
"I'm not tired. I slept for so long in the afternoon and had dinner so late at night that I can't fall asleep now. I was thinking of going upstairs to work out when I get back. I haven't worked out for a long time and I can't fall behind."
"Then I'll go up with you. I can't sleep at this hour either."
"Uncle, have you been exercising all these years?"
"What else? Isn't it the result of self-discipline that I haven't gained weight at my age?"
"Uncle is in such good shape now. No one would guess that he is your age. Does exercise really make people energetic? Why does my uncle look like my brother?"
"You kid, you should save your sweet words for Mu Bai to hear. Why are you teasing me in front of me?"
"If I say nice things to her, I have to say them to you too, right? I am a very fair person. By the way, uncle, she likes the gift you gave to Mu Bai very much, as well as the ones from Si Qi and Man Man. They were embarrassed to tell you so they asked me to convey these words of thanks."
"As long as they like it, it means my efforts are not in vain."
At the beginning of the exercise, Cheng Xiangdi could still chat with Cheng Yunchuan for a while, but as the intensity gradually increased, the two of them had no time to chat and could only concentrate on exercising.
Cheng Xiangdi could still hold on for more than 40 minutes of high-intensity exercise, but found it a bit strenuous later on.
When he got off the machine, Cheng Yunchuan was still sweating profusely. Cheng Xiangdi did not disturb him but opened the door and walked out. Cheng Yunchuan thought that Cheng Xiangdi had finished exercising and left, but after a while he saw Cheng Xiangdi appear in the gym again with water and a towel in his hands.
Cheng Xiangdi had already drunk some water downstairs, so the water in his hand was specially brought for Cheng Yunchuan. Seeing that Cheng Yunchuan had not finished a set of exercises, Cheng Xiangdi did not disturb him but stood quietly by the side waiting for him.
When Cheng Yunchuan finally got off the machine, Cheng Xiangdi considerately handed Cheng Yunchuan a towel and water.
"Wipe off the sweat, drink some water and take a rest."
"Okay, thank you uncle."
Seeing the sweat pouring down Cheng Yunchuan's body like it was free, Cheng Xiangdi's eyes were filled with indescribable envy.
"It's good to be young, to be able to stay up there for so long. Now that I'm old, 40 minutes is already the limit. Now it seems that I can't refuse to admit defeat."
"Uncle has been busy lately and may have neglected to exercise. Your physical strength is not bad, so you can slowly train it up. And you challenged yourself to do such a high-intensity exercise all at once today. No one would be able to bear it."
"I am old, but I am still different from you young people. I know my own body. I can't compare myself to my younger self now."
"That's definitely different, but uncle, someone as self-disciplined as you is still much better than many people. Look at Siqi, he was also a handsome young man when he followed me before, and now he's slowly getting rounder even without exercise. He told me before that he should exercise well, isn't he still the same as before?"
"Indeed, he was such a skinny kid when he followed you before, but now he's fatter and looks quite easygoing."
"Who said it wasn't true? Siqi can't compare to you in this respect. If he were to come up, he probably wouldn't be able to last ten minutes. He's the same age as me but his physical strength is not as good as yours. So uncle, don't think you're old. People as self-disciplined as you are much better than many young people."
After hearing what Cheng Yunchuan said, Cheng Xiangdi didn't say anything else. No one knew whether he took Cheng Yunchuan's words to heart.
The two stayed in the gym for a while. When Cheng Yunchuan stopped sweating, they considered the exercise to be over.
"Uncle, you need to take a bath and massage yourself. The intensity of your exercise just now was so high that your muscles will probably be sore tomorrow if you don't massage them properly."
"Don't worry, uncle is also a person who exercises all year round, how could he not know this? After exercising for so long today, maybe you can sleep well tonight. Remember to rest early later, because you still have to have dinner with Mu Bai and her father tomorrow."
"Well, I know."
Cheng Yunchuan and Cheng Xiangdi went back to their rooms to wash up at the gym entrance. By the time they were done and lay down to rest, it was almost dawn.
Before going to bed, Cheng Yunchuan deliberately checked his mobile phone. The message he sent to Jiang Mubai had not been replied by her. Cheng Yunchuan was now sure that Jiang Mubai had indeed gone to bed. Her body was very tired and comfortable after the exercise. Cheng Yunchuan lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Mubai was already eating breakfast downstairs. When she woke up and looked at her phone, she found that Cheng Yunchuan had sent her a text message last night. Jiang Mubai knew that the other party was trying to let her know that he was safe, so after seeing the text message, Jiang Mubai immediately explained why she did not reply in time.
The message sent was not replied. Jiang Mubai guessed that Cheng Yunchuan might be busy or had not woken up yet.
She didn't plan to keep waiting for the other party to reply. Anyway, when Cheng Yunchuan saw the message she sent, he would reply to her immediately. There was really no need for Jiang Mubai to keep watching the phone.
The things that Jiang Mubai brought back from Cheng's house yesterday were hastily put into her bag by her and she didn't take them out. Jiang Mubai could even forget such a valuable thing, which shows that she really missed it in her heart.
After finishing breakfast, she finally remembered the matter of gems and shares. Fortunately, the Jiang family villa was very safe and the servants were clean. When Jiang Mubai returned to her room, the bag she took out yesterday was still lying on the sofa intact.
She took out the jewel brooch and looked at it carefully. Jiang Mubai thought that today was the day for the two families to meet and have dinner. The occasion was quite important and formal, so she didn't want to dress too casually. In addition, she had to go to Cheng's mother's tomb to pay homage after dinner in the afternoon, so Jiang Mubai also wanted to dress more dignified and serious.
Jiang Mubai took out a black velvet satin skirt from the closet. The skirt was not very formal but suitable for wearing to attend the two events today. Jiang Mubai took the skirt and changed into it without hesitation.
The share transfer document that Cheng Xiangdi gave to Xiang Xiang was locked in the safe by Jiang Mubai, but the moisturizing brooch was left by Jiang Mubai and pinned on her new skirt. Jiang Mubai looked in the mirror and found that the brooch and the skirt unexpectedly matched each other, so she did not take the brooch off her skirt.
This is a gift from Cheng Xiangdi. Jiang Mubai still thought it would be a good idea to wear it out for him to see. This way, Cheng Xiangdi would know that he really likes the gift he gave him. I believe Cheng Xiangdi will be very happy when he sees it.
When Jiang Mubai finished cleaning up, Xiang Xiang hadn't woken up yet. Looking at Zhou Xiaoying sleeping on the bed beside him, Jiang Mubai knew that this little guy probably woke up in the early morning and didn't fall asleep until very late.
After taking a look at the soundly sleeping child, Jiang Mubai came downstairs. Jiang An was already sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs. The two did not meet during breakfast. Jiang Mubai guessed that Jiang An came down to eat breakfast when she went upstairs to change clothes.
"Packed up?"
After hearing the noise, Jiang An didn't even raise his eyes and just kept looking at the newspaper in his hand. He knew without even looking that it was Jiang Mubai coming down.
