“If you want to lose weight, just ask me. You see, I haven’t gained weight in all these years.” Hua Feifei touched her tiny waist and said mysteriously, “But I have a secret.”
“What secret?” Luo Xi immediately became curious.
Hua Feifei whispered a few words in her ear.
Luo Xi frowned slightly but memorized the advice.
That evening, Leng Minxing looked at an apple sitting in front of her and raised an eyebrow slightly. “What are you doing?”
“Losing weight.” Luo Xi reluctantly looked away from the array of delicious dishes on the table and took a bite of the apple.
“Why lose weight? Are you fat?” Leng Minxing glanced over her figure, somewhat confused.
Why would a girl who was already so thin need to lose weight?
Though she did seem a bit rounder than before.
“Am I not fat? I’ve gained ten pounds!” Luo Xi shot up abruptly, pinching her waist dramatically. “Look, this dress used to be loose on me, but now it’s all tight.”
Leng Minxing scrutinized her but saw no big difference.
But seeing her serious expression made him hesitant to stop her, so he said, “Losing weight is fine, but you shouldn’t starve yourself.”
“I’m not starving. I’ve eaten a lot during the day,” she insisted stubbornly.
Leng Minxing was a bit worried. The next day at work, he was afraid Luo Xi wouldn’t eat. He had someone install a surveillance system at home. Sure enough, that morning she only had a boiled egg and a cucumber for lunch, even threatening the maids not to tell him!
Leng Minxing’s face darkened instantly. He slammed his hand on the table. Did this woman want to get herself killed? Losing weight to the point of lying to him?
“P-President?” The subordinates standing before him trembled, not understanding what they had said to provoke his anger.
Leng Minxing shot them a glance. “Anything else?”
The subordinates mumbled that there was nothing and quickly retreated.
Leng Minxing opened his browser and browsed for a moment. His brow furrowed for a moment as he said, “Xu Guan, order a set of women’s sportswear and send it to my house.”
Xu Guan’s gaze swept over the computer screen, where a question was prominently displayed: “How to lose weight without affecting health.”
He paused for a moment, said “Yes,” and then left.
By the time Leng Minxing returned home, Luo Xi was already exhausted from hunger.
Perhaps she had eaten too much previously, so suddenly eating so little was hard for her to adjust to.
Thinking of Hua Feifei’s sexy figure, Luo Xi gritted her teeth. I can endure!
She finally understood the suffering of those trying to lose weight. Eating was enjoyable for a while, but dieting felt like a nightmare.
When Leng Minxing returned home, he found no sign of her.
Dinner was already prepared on the table.
He frowned slightly. “Where is Madam?”
The maids exchanged glances before one finally spoke. “Madam is resting upstairs.”
Leng Minxing nodded and adjusted his tie as he climbed the stairs.
Upon opening the bedroom door, he saw a small bulge under the covers.
Before he even got close, he heard her mumbling about being hungry.
What a self-inflicted hardship.
Leng Minxing felt both amused and exasperated. He went out and told the butler to bring food up.
Luo Xi was awakened by a delicious aroma.
Opening her eyes, she was stunned to see Leng Minxing sitting beside her with an array of delicious food spread out before him.
She was taken aback. Was she dreaming?
How could Leng Minxing have brought food to the bedroom?
She had hurried back to her room to avoid seeing this very sight, and yet he had followed her up!
Her stomach let out a growl at the wrong time.
Leng Minxing looked over. “You’re awake?”
His tone was indifferent, but Luo Xi keenly sensed something different about it today.
She nodded. “You, why are you eating here?”
“Is that a problem?” Leng Minxing felt it was necessary to give her a lesson. Eating in front of someone trying to lose weight was the best punishment.
Luo Xi choked for a moment, then couldn’t help but sit down. She moved closer, trying to reassure herself that a few bites wouldn’t hurt. But before she could pick up her chopsticks, he snatched them away.
She looked up at Leng Minxing in confusion, not understanding his intentions.
He then pushed a bowl of fruit salad towards her, offering her a fork and saying, “Aren’t you trying to lose weight?”
Luo Xi: “…”
Was this really her husband?
No way, she must be dreaming.
Pinching her thigh to feel the pain confirmed this was real and not a dream.
Did Leng Minxing also think she was too fat and needed to lose weight?
This thought struck Luo Xi like lightning. She stole a glance at him and saw him eating his food heartily, completely ignoring her. An overwhelming sense of grievance welled up inside her. She listlessly picked up an apple and began to eat it.
Still, her eyes couldn’t help but glance longingly at the food.
Leng Minxing noticed this but pretended not to know anything. He secretly thought that if she asked for some food, he would let her have it.
Luo Xi was also secretly watching him, hoping he would offer her a piece of meat, in which case she wouldn’t be mad anymore.
They both waited, but by the time the last piece of fruit was finished, he still paid no attention to her. Luo Xi suddenly got angry, tossing down her fork and saying, “I’m full.” She dashed to the bed and buried herself under the covers.
Leng Minxing was taken aback by her outburst and was stunned for a moment before his face darkened. He got up and left the room.
This time, he had no intention of indulging her.
“Are you still alive?”
A week passed, yet Luo Xi felt like years had gone by.
Life without delicious food was unbearable.
A group of people met at a coffee shop. Seeing her pale face, Zhou Yao poked her worriedly.
“I’m so hungry! I want hot pot, crayfish, sweet and sour ribs, steamed carp…” Luo Xi said weakly.
“Only a week in and you can’t take it anymore? You know I endured for an entire semester back in the day!” Hua Feifei was used to this type of life and was no longer surprised. Seeing Luo Xi like this, she felt a bit amused.
Little brat, Luo Xi had mocked her countless times when she was trying to lose weight before.
Now the tables had turned.
Let her taste the pain of dieting too.
“Now just the sight of fruit makes me want to throw up,” Luo Xi said tearfully.
Zhou Yao said, “Are you eating too little? Is it even working?”
“I haven’t checked, but it should be working.” Luo Xi wasn’t sure.
“Let’s go check.” Hua Feifei quickly pulled her out of the coffee shop.
“Holy crap, you’ve lost four pounds! Losing four pounds in a week is amazing!”
Hua Feifei was shocked and exclaimed.
She had previously only lost that much in a month. Seeing Luo Xi drop it in a week was mind-blowing!
Luo Xi also brightened up, shocked by the results. “I can’t believe it really works! That’s good! If I keep this up for another week, I’ll be back to my original weight.”
Hua Feifei said with mixed feelings, “You didn’t eat anything else besides what I told you, did you?”
Luo Xi nodded and asked in confusion, “Isn’t that how it’s supposed to go?”
“Holy crap, you’re really incredible! It’s a miracle you’ve survived this long, sister.”
Hua Feifei expressed her admiration.
