An Honest Coach, Yet He Hooks a CEO

[Main story complete]

Lu Zhizheng is just a fitness coach.

He's introverted and honest, and can't even bring himself to actively promote classes. His biggest worries are his monthly sales figures and people asking, "You've got so much going for you, so why are you still single?"

Hearing that, Lu Zhizheng froze. His sweat-soaked T-shirt clung to his body, and his firm chest rose and fell slightly as he breathed.

He avoided the other person's probing gaze and answered quietly, "...There's nothing special about me."

Then one day, a particularly flamboyant new client showed up at the gym.

The man dressed impeccably and had a dazzling smile. During training, he loved chatting with Lu Zhizheng, asking if work kept him busy, whether his salary was enough, and if he had a partner. His tone was casual and natural, as if he were just making conversation.

Lu Zhizheng wasn't good at dealing with people like him. He could only watch as the man took him out to eat, gave him gifts,

and even said with a smile in front of everyone, "Coach Lu, would you consider becoming mine?"

From that day on, the man started appearing in his life more and more often. Lu Zhizheng wanted to turn him down, but he couldn't.

He'd come to this high-end gym specifically to get close to this peacock of a client.

He Shuan, CEO of the He Group, had recently taken an interest in a fitness coach.

The reason was simple: the coach had a handsome face, a great body, didn't talk much, and didn't like spending He Shuan's money.

Men who weren't interested in his black card or family connections, and didn't constantly flatter him, were rarer than limited-edition luxury goods these days.

What he loved most was watching the coach flex his arms. The muscles beneath his tight black shirt stood out in clear, taut lines, while sweat slid down his pale face and glimmered under the lights.

Everyone else was enjoying the view, but Lu Zhizheng was just focused on doing his job as a coach.

He lowered himself onto one knee to adjust He Shuan's equipment, his movements efficient and focused, completely unaware that someone's gaze had been fixed on him for far too long.

He Shuan's gaze darkened as he thought:

He had to make this man his.

His childhood friend couldn't stand watching and warned him, "Be careful, or you'll get played."

He Shuan only smiled, his tone unhurried. "Don't worry. I have a plan."

Lu Zhizheng approached He Shuan to get justice for his mother, who had been in an accident.

But when the truth came to light, he was shocked to realize that he'd been pursuing the wrong person from the very beginning.

The moment he realized He Shuan was innocent, Lu Zhizheng felt panic for the first time.

He wanted to pull away, but it was already too late.

He Shuan saw right through him.

The honest, gentle boyfriend who never asked for anything had approached him with ulterior motives from the start.

The door closed behind He Shuan. The next moment, Lu Zhizheng was pinned back onto the bed.

He Shuan leaned over him, their faces drawing impossibly close. He smiled, but his gaze was dangerously cold.

"Now you want to leave?"

Lu Zhizheng's back sank into the soft mattress. He was completely stunned. "I-I'll make it up to you."

He Shuan smiled. "How?"

Lu Zhizheng said quietly, "I'll work to pay back all the money you spent on me."

He Shuan let out a low laugh, as if he'd heard a funny joke. "That won't do."

He lowered his head until his lips were almost against Lu Zhizheng's ear, his voice low and patient.

"What I want now is a different kind of compensation."
