102: Being honest is scary

Qiu Yunxi was still a college student, naturally very young, with a delicate, fair, and tender face, full of collagen.

Her face shape was a clean, square one, with a clear but not sharp turn at the jawline, like a beautiful jade meticulously polished.

This face shape, unlike an oval or round face, did not give a soft feeling; paired with bright, large eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin, curved red lips, her overall appearance was very dignified, with a clean and decisive beauty.

Coupled with sportswear, the rosy glow of her skin after exercise, and fine beads of sweat on her forehead, her whole being exuded a vibrant sense of strength.

This style was different from the dancing styles of Wen Qian and Zheng Qinghan.

Dancing, especially Wen Qian's classical dance and Zheng Qinghan's modern dance, became softer with more practice.

But exercise, on the other hand, made one feel more healthy and energetic with more practice.

This style was also very attractive.

Otherwise, so many athletes wouldn't be gaining huge numbers of fans online now.

Zhang Bo only now realized that athletic girls were also very beautiful, and he liked them too.

He once thought he only liked the refined type like Chen Xiaoling.

But now, as he met more and more girls, he found that as long as they were pretty, he actually liked all types.

Instead, he now felt that only liking one type of beauty was a bit too narrow-minded.

It was better to be more magnanimous in life.

Ahem… getting back to the point.

Zhang Bo had been looking at Qiu Yunxi for quite a long time, so much so that she felt a little embarrassed.

"Brother Zhang, why are you staring at me?"

She wasn't the delicate, shy type of girl; although still a bit bashful, she asked openly.

"I hadn't really seen your face before, I didn't realize you were so beautiful," Zhang Bo said honestly with a smile, "No wonder those guys got so anxious when I chatted with you a bit more."

"Oh, come on..." Qiu Yunxi smiled, her face slightly flushed, showing that she was in a very good mood.

Zhang Bo was getting richer and richer, and more beautiful women were appearing around him; he was becoming increasingly confident.

Therefore, his style of speaking and acting was completely open and undisguised.

He openly told her she was beautiful and openly expressed his admiration.

And women, surprisingly, fell for this approach.

At least Qiu Yunxi, until now, had not had a bad impression of Zhang Bo because of his frankness.

"Let's get back to business," Zhang Bo steered the conversation back, saying, "I genuinely want to exercise and need someone to guide and help me, so... what I said earlier still stands, forty-five thousand a month, you be my personal running companion!"

"At that price, I almost don't have the courage to refuse, but I still have to say, I'm not worth that much money," Qiu Yunxi's smile turned into a wry one.

Although she really wanted to make money, earning this money made her feel a bit uneasy.

Forty-five thousand a month!

It was too much!

"Perhaps your running companionship isn't worth that much, but your beauty is!" Zhang Bo chuckled and said.

Qiu Yunxi was slightly taken aback by his words, then her face flushed even more.

Although she knew Zhang Bo was frank, she hadn't expected him to be *this* frank.

To be honest, Qiu Yunxi also knew that most of her clients were drawn to her looks.

However, they wouldn't show it.

But Zhang Bo said it directly.

To be fair, while those people all pretended to be serious, it didn't feel very good.

And while Zhang Bo's words were slightly ambiguous, they sounded very sincere.

At least, Qiu Yunxi liked this way of interacting.

Since Zhang Bo had spoken to this extent, Qiu Yunxi naturally couldn't refuse.

However, things still needed to be made clear.

She also said straightforwardly, "Brother Zhang, although you say that, I also have my boundaries. Even if you give me forty-five thousand a month, I'm only a running companion, no other services."

Qiu Yunxi knew that clients were drawn to her looks, and this candid Brother Zhang was no exception.

So, she had to make things clear.

She had her bottom line.

If Zhang Bo wanted to find a suggestive running companion, she would rather not earn this money.

Clarifying things beforehand would prevent misunderstandings later and avoid damaging their relationship.

"Of course, what I said was just the price for running companionship," Zhang Bo said with a smile, "I have mistresses, and the money I give them isn't this little."

"Huh?" Qiu Yunxi was startled again; Zhang Bo's frankness surprised her once more.

Was it really okay to say such things in front of a girl he'd just met today?

Directly saying he had mistresses, and 'them'... his frankness was a little alarming.

"Then..." Qiu Yunxi paused, still unable to resist asking curiously, "Brother Zhang, how much do you give your mistresses?"

Discussing this topic with a man she'd just met today wasn't entirely appropriate, but she was truly curious.

Qiu Yunxi had only heard that rich people kept mistresses; this was her first direct encounter, so she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"I give them one hundred thousand in pocket money each month, and I also arrange cars and houses for them. Furthermore, if they get pregnant with my child, I give them an additional one hundred thousand per month starting from pregnancy," Zhang Bo replied directly, without hiding anything.

"My goodness!"

Qiu Yunxi was utterly stunned.

One had to know, she earned only a few hundred yuan a day by running with so many people.

However, this kind of business wasn't something she could do every day.

There were only so many simps, and even fewer simps who liked to run.

Once these people fully realized they couldn't win Qiu Yunxi over, they would stop asking her to be their running companion.

This business wouldn't last long.

Qiu Yunxi had self-awareness; if she pursued sports professionally after graduation and didn't achieve results, with her abilities, she would most likely not earn ten thousand yuan a month.

But if she became Zhang Bo's woman, she would have a fixed one hundred thousand yuan in pocket money every month, and cars and houses would be arranged for her. Moreover... starting from pregnancy, an additional one hundred thousand per month... At this moment, Qiu Yunxi's heart fluttered.

If she could also be Zhang Bo's mistress... putting everything else aside, just with one hundred thousand a month, she could buy better equipment, better nutritional supplements, hire better coaches, rent better training grounds... Athletes spend a lot of money.

Talent and hard work were important, but financial support was also extremely crucial.

If she became Zhang Bo's woman, then she would definitely achieve results... Instantly, a devil appeared in Qiu Yunxi's heart.

There was an inexplicable urge in her heart, making her want to ask Zhang Bo if he liked her type...
