Should she ask the doubts of her mind and beard him?
Umm..let it be. She couldn't misspend her time grinding gears for a cup of coffee! Moreover, she wasn't that parsimonious!
Mian crumbled the incident into a paper ball and discarded it into a trashcan in her mind. It was her psychological way of forgetting something unpleasant from her brain.
As doing a set of low-key exercises before the main one could bring out an enormous change, of course in good way, in fitness performance, and effectuate the nervous system and muscles to function immaculately in workout, Mian opted for the warm-ups first as usual.
Started in a standing position, with feet wider than hip-width apart, she flexed her arms; and placed them behind her head. Then, she angled her knee as she lifted one leg up, circled that leg across her body, up toward the chest, then back down to the starting position. Mian repeated on the other side, and continued for a minute. Following this, she did four more light exercises with the same duration, before diving into cardio.
Every single movement of Mian was tugging at Mu Yuhaan's heart strings. His inexperienced eyes were steaming all over her body, not knowing where to linger his gaze more than necessary, with the naked greediness of monopolising her.
Nevertheless, Mian appeared to be oblivious to the other person in the room, sticking to her knitting. She was wearing a pair of tight black workout leggings, paired with a red sports bra. Her silky, black and straight hair was put in a high sleek ponytail. Being 170 centimetres, Mian was considered much taller than any average Chinese girl.
Mu Yuhaan, quite the opposite, set his unwavering focus on Mian. Her supermodel-like figure which every girl craved for, a perfect apple butt, straight back, with a swan-like long white neck wasn't helping the matter, rather they poured patrol in the fire of attraction in Mu Yuhaan's heart.
Mu Yuhaan, the peerless businessman, who happened to be an unblemished virgin, didn't know the words to describe Mian's figure, nor the scene before him. All he knew, she was looking very enticing at that moment, and he had the impulse to hug her from behind, then whisper something into her ear.
But what would he say?
Mu Yuhaan never initiated conversation with anyone, and with girls? Well, apart from his mother and grandmother, he didn't talk to any women. It was just, he didn't feel like talking to women, but Mian was an exception! She was the first girl in his thirty years of life, who interested him.
He could just greet Mian and say that he was her neighbour, right?
But why the hell was he nervy and on edge?! He was too overwrought to even call her!
Mu Yuhaan was extremely browned off at his newfound emotion called nervousness.
He had never felt this keyed up before, not even in his first business meeting, where many keen, shrewd and experienced troublemakers were waiting for him to make a slight mistake to raise their fingers at him. Not even then, when he had taken over the position of underworld's leader.
Then why now?! According to his investigation, Mian was a very simple twenty four years old girl!
Unbeknownst to Mu Yuhaan, he was behaving exactly like a teenage boy, who had fallen in love for the first time, and didn't know how to handle these emotions.
Meanwhile, Mian distinctly sensed that someone was boring a hole at her back. It was like a ring of heat going up and down her body. This feeling had been haunting her since the moment she set foot in the gymnasium.
At first, she discarded it as her overthinking, and continued working out. However, it seemed almost an hour, but...
'Toss out these weird thoughts out of your mind, Mian.'
Mian chided herself, and went to the water rower before sitting on it.
Because of the bright light hanging from above, the window in front of the water rower functioned like a mirror, and it reflected an obscure image of her annoying neighbor.
Just as Mian surmised, he was staring at her back, and her suspicion was corroborated. Knowing someone gawking at her openly for an hour, a barrier rose up between Mian and her willpower to keep up with the work-out. Hence, she stopped in the first quarter of her water rower exercise.
"Why are you staring at me like this? Haven't you seen any girl before?" Mian asked, without turning around in his direction.
Her sudden questions caught Mu Yuhaan off guard. However, he seemed more exhilarated, less edgy. A euphoric sense of enthusiasm engulfed him.
Mian just talked to him! Mu Yuhaan became cock-a-hoop. His glowing face, buoyant aura told it's own story!
Mian got up from the machine, and went forward in Mu Yuhaan's direction. Nonetheless, as soon as his face came to her view, she couldn't help but stare at the beauty in front of her.
His magnetic black eyes, sheltered by thick black long eyebrows, carried an aura of supremacy in them. Below them, a high bridged nose stood proudly on his jade white skin. Mian dared not to look at his lips, as those black phoenix eyes were staring back at her. His eyes were like a black hole extracting her soul from her body towards them.
Mian had seen many handsome men in her life, but the one standing in front of her was the next level. Even those male gods of TV would pale in his comparison.
Suddenly, a line came floating to Mian's memory. 'It is the birthright of humankind to stare at beautiful people all they want.'
She didn't remember the boy who told her this dialogue in Harvard, but at that time she cringed hearing this. Nonetheless, now, this line didn't seem that bad!
"Do you like what you see?" Mu Yuhaan asked with amusement in his voice, when he saw Mian staring at him in awe. He was pleased by the fact that someone got awestruck, looking at his face, for the first time. He discovered that he liked it, when Mian looked at him.
