Chapter 126: Chapter 124 Seduction Failure
Xu Mi’s subtle gestures, for a man whose mind had matured, were really nothing special.
Although Zhang Hao was only a few years older than her by age, when it came to experience in certain aspects, he was certainly far more advanced than Xu Mi by a long shot.
He definitely wouldn’t be like a naive young man fresh out of school, who gets disoriented by a pretty girl’s kiss.
"Your foot injury has almost healed, if you still feel any discomfort, you should rest at home for a couple more days, the work in the department can go on as usual, so you don’t need to feel too guilty."
Xu Mi didn’t want to hear Zhang Hao say these things, "Mr. Zhang, do you think I’m ugly, unworthy to be with you?"
Truth be told, Xu Mi’s appearance was not at all lacking among her peers, if only she dressed up a bit.
She could very well be the next internet sensation with a million followers.
Zhang Hao knew he couldn’t just casually answer this question, his every word and action were closely related to the hospital.
Now that the hospital’s reputation had finally begun to improve, he couldn’t let a few words from him drag it back down to where it once was.
Seeing that Zhang Hao was truly unmoved, Xu Mi’s legs started to become restless.
At her age, she had certainly seen those adult videos on the internet.
She knew that enticing a man was actually a very easy task.
Even an inadvertent touch would provoke a response there, not to mention that she was now trying to tease Zhang Hao’s junior with her foot.
Just by doing so, Xu Mi felt that part of Zhang Hao was very sizable.
As a mentor, Zhang Hao really couldn’t bring himself to take advantage of his apprentice.
So, when Xu Mi’s foot became restless, he swiftly stood up from the couch.
"It’s getting late, I should head back, you take care and rest well."
But Xu Mi didn’t want to hear advice about resting well, and seeing that Zhang Hao was about to leave,
she hopped a few times on her uninjured leg and hugged Zhang Hao from behind.
"Mr. Zhang, don’t go, I really like you, and I know you think this is abrupt,"
"but I’m of age now, we’re not in a teacher-student relationship, and I also want to know what a man really feels like."
Zhang Hao pulled away from Xu Mi’s hold and turned to look at her with a pitiful expression on her face.
He told her, "There’s nothing good about men."
After saying that, Zhang Hao left.
Xu Mi never expected Zhang Hao’s self-control to be so strong.
Back in her school days, just a glance from her was all it took to chase down the most desirable guy.
And then she had become intimate with him.
Unfortunately, he was all looks and no substance.
He might have been a good choice for playing basketball, but not necessarily so in bed.
That was why Xu Mi was so eager to try out someone more substantial, to satisfy her own inner desires.
She had thought the likelihood of such a thing was low to the point of doubting whether there really was such a well-endowed man in the world.
Until she met Zhang Hao, who instantly reignited the extinguished flame in her heart.
What she hadn’t expected was that Zhang Hao would be completely indifferent to her.
Xu Mi immediately sent a message to Ling Tong, treating the incident as an oddity to complain about.
"I seriously suspect our Mr. Zhang might not like women. It’s possible he prefers men."
Ling Tong was puzzled by the message she received from Xu Mi, having no idea what had happened between them after she had left.
"Why would you say that, I don’t see anything unusual about Mr. Zhang."
Seeing Ling Tong didn’t catch on to her point, Xu Mi tirelessly elaborated.
"I just tried to seduce him, and he actually had no interest at all. What a waste of his, you know, assets."
On her way home, Ling Tong’s jealousy rose a bit as she saw the message sent by Xu Mi.
Although her contact with Zhang Hao wasn’t frequent, she thought he was really handsome the moment she first saw him.
Additionally, once she learned that there wasn’t much of an age difference between them, she even entertained the idea of starting a relationship with him.
It’s just that she didn’t expect her good friend Xu Mi to make the first move, which gave Ling Tong the feeling that she might be too late.
But now, her good friend was complaining to her that Mr. Zhang might not like women, sparking a different thought in her.
Perhaps Mr. Zhang doesn’t like the type of woman Xu Mi is.
Women differ from one another: some are aloof, some are warm, some are shy, and others are flamboyant.
And Xu Mi is the latter, flamboyant!
Relying on her good looks and fine figure, she was very popular among men.
Over time, it also led her to develop a sense of confidence.
No man she couldn’t win over, but this time, she found herself at a loss with Zhang Hao.
For a woman who has always had men at her fingertips, this was quite the failure.
However, Ling Tong still had to act nonchalant while consoling Xu Mi, who was feeling emotionally wounded at the moment.
Tomorrow is the weekend; Zhang Hao doesn’t have to work and has a rare day off; he’s unsure how to spend it.
Then Lin Wan took the initiative to send a message: How about going to the hot springs tomorrow?
In the suburbs, there is a resort villa. Although it’s not a natural hot spring, soaking can still help one relax.
This suggestion was indeed a good one for Zhang Hao.
So he readily accepted Lin Wan’s invitation, and promptly packed some items needed for the hot springs, looking forward to the next morning.
The next day, Zhang Hao woke up even earlier than he did for work.
Before he had a chance to eat breakfast, Lin Wan was already downstairs at his house.
Zhang Hao took two pork buns that his mom had handmade from the steamer and grabbed a carton of milk to bring down.
When he saw Lin Wan, she was wearing a white chiffon long-sleeved blouse.
The chiffon fabric was semi-transparent, with the black bra underneath clearly visible.
"You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Here, my mom made these," he said.
Lin Wan moved from the driver’s seat to the passenger side, allowing Zhang Hao to drive.
"The route is already set on your navigation, just drive straight there. I bought a package deal that includes food and drink, so we can spend the whole day there."
Zhang Hao nodded, then added, "I’ll transfer you the money for that in a bit."
Lin Wan waved her hand and said, "A hundred-some yuan is no big deal; you can just treat me next time."
As Lin Wan ate the bun and drank the milk, Zhang Hao made sure not to drive too fast.
It took at least two hours to get to the suburb from their location by car, which already accounted for the potential traffic.
Nearing ten in the morning, they were still fifteen kilometers away from their hot springs destination.
There was a gas station up ahead, and Zhang Hao drove the car in.
Lin Wan immediately opened the door and got out: "I’m going to use the restroom; wait for me."
The nearly empty gas tank was filled up.
Zhang Hao paid, and at that moment, Lin Wan also came out of the restroom.
Watching the graceful beauty approaching in the rearview mirror, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhang Hao’s lips.
