Hearing Lu Man's words, Chen Yan was taken aback.
How was he supposed to answer that question?
If he said "no," it would seem odd that he, who clearly had better training methods, let them exercise with Zhao Ying.
And if he said "yes"... well, in a few days when they failed to achieve the desired effect, wouldn't his lie be exposed?
So, Chen Yan ambiguously responded, "Partially. I also did some other exercises."
After that, he added, "You're a woman, you don't need to train that hard. How ugly would it be if you had abs?"
As he spoke, Chen Yan pulled Lu Man into his embrace, saying, "I still prefer you soft."
Seeing Chen Yan becoming less and less serious, Lu Man retorted with feigned pride, "But I like being a bit harder!"
"I want to be tough enough to stand up to you! To make you never dare to provoke me again!"
"I'll develop a mermaid line and eight-pack abs, and crush you to death with just my abs!"
