Chapter 146: Chapter 144: Tangled All Night
Lü Juan had waited in the car for a long time, unable to get Zhang Hao to come over, feeling incredibly frustrated.
She simply opened the car door, got out, and rushed to Zhang Hao’s department, only to find the place empty, which made her stomp her feet in anger.
She took a piece of white paper and picked up a pen from the desk, writing a few large characters on it.
Lü Juan then strode out of the department with her head held high.
In the surgical clinic, they had given the seriously injured patient a green light.
Before any family members arrived, to save his life, they moved him directly into the operating room.
And in the shortest time possible, they saved his life, with three surgeons, including Zhang Hao, performing the operation simultaneously.
By the time this surgery was finished, Zhang Hao’s legs were numb from standing.
The head of the surgery department was very grateful for Zhang Hao’s assistance and even proposed to go out and have a meal together after work.
Zhang Hao readily agreed, and when he returned to his department, he found the note on his desk.
Lü Juan was still using a threatening tone, trying to force Zhang Hao to agree to an intimate opportunity for the two of them.
But Zhang Hao felt that he couldn’t open this door, as once opened, a woman like Lü Juan who didn’t know boundaries would definitely cling to him.
He wasn’t one of those male models in some entertainment venues who had to deal with rich women in business; he was a bona fide doctor.
To avoid Lü Juan’s advances, Zhang Hao had already run to the surgical clinic to wait before it was time to leave work.
When the time to leave work came, the head of the surgery department still had patients, and time was pushed back again and again, so Zhang Hao simply decided not to wait anymore.
He had thought that considering Lü Juan’s impatient nature, she definitely wouldn’t wait for him in the hospital for such a long time.
So without any hesitation, Zhang Hao prepared to head home, but as he was walking to the parking lot, he saw Lü Juan getting out of her car.
She had removed her black straight hair wig and had the same short haircut as the day before.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Hao immediately turned around, trying to pretend he hadn’t seen her and flee.
Who knew that Lü Juan would shout, "Doctor Zhang, stop right there! I won’t bite, why do you run whenever you see me?"
Zhang Hao clumsily turned and looked at Lü Juan.
"Lü sister, please don’t make this hard for me. A woman like you can find any man you want, why must you be hung up on a crooked tree like me?"
Lü Juan walked up to him and said, "Who told you to be the one I like? I’ve already booked the room."
"Let’s go now and aim to get it done within an hour, how about that?"
Zhang Hao was extremely resistant inside; he didn’t want to have any more contact with her than necessary.
After a moment’s thought, he held his waist and said, "Lü sister, the day before yesterday when I was helping my mom with a big cleaning at home."
"I hurt my back lifting something heavy and it hasn’t fully recovered yet. Can you wait for me another couple of days?"
Lü Juan circled around Zhang Hao with doubt in her eyes, "Really? Or is this just an excuse you’ve made up to avoid me? Men’s mouths are deceitful devils, not to be trusted."
Zhang Hao held his waist and cried out in pain a couple of times, finally managing to convince Lü Juan to wait another two days.
Zhang Hao pressed his palms together in prayer, thanking her repeatedly before quickly getting into his car and leaving.
It wasn’t until his car sped past Lü Juan that she suddenly noticed a problem.
Zhang Hao had just been running to his car, back pain shouldn’t allow for vigorous movement.
Realizing she had been fooled by Zhang Hao once again, Lü Juan was so frustrated she could gnash her teeth; neither gentle persuasion nor force worked with this man, how difficult could he be to deal with?
In a fit of anger, Lü Juan called up her girlfriends and decided to go to a bar that night to get drunk and not return unless completely sloshed, hoping to find a couple of good-looking male models too.
After getting home, Zhang Hao mentioned the day’s events to his mother, who became visibly upset upon learning that the woman wasn’t interested in her son.
"Son, you say you’re not bad-looking, and your job is decent too, why didn’t she fancy you?"
Zhang Hao had little reaction to this.
"It’s not like she necessarily has to fancy me, she’s a powerful career woman, and I’m just a little doctor at a small hospital, worlds apart, so it’s normal that she wouldn’t be interested."
Seeing his mother sigh, Zhang Hao quickly peeled an apple and handed it to her.
Just as he returned to his room, Zhang Hao’s phone rang.
After answering, he discovered it was his blind date calling.
"Doctor Zhang, it’s extremely urgent, you’re the only person I can think of right now, can you please come help me at Jindun Hotel?"
"If possible, please arrive within half an hour, and I’ll explain in detail after we meet."
Zhang Hao checked the time; half an hour later would be 7:45 PM.
As the saying goes, saving a life is more meritorious than constructing a seven-level pagoda, she had already called him in such a rush; it wouldn’t be good to refuse.
After letting his mother know, he changed clothes quickly and hurried over to Jindun Hotel.
The woman had been waiting for a while, holding a large bag in her hand.
"Follow me."
The woman looked hurried and spoke as they walked: "This afternoon I received an invitation from a classmate to attend a gathering."
"You know how these class reunions are always about comparing careers, comparing spouses; my career’s doing okay."
"The only thing is, I still don’t have any news about a significant other."
"So, today, I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend or maybe fiancé, can you?"
This was Zhang Hao’s first time pretending to be a fiancé, he half-jokingly said, "How much will it cost?"
The woman chuckled and said, "How about two thousand yuan?"
Pretending to be someone’s fiancé for two thousand yuan was a deal worth taking.
He put on the suit she had provided, and it fit quite well.
The two of them then walked arm in arm into the venue of the gathering.
"Sun Qian, you finally made it, everyone’s been waiting for you for a long time, come over here quickly."
A woman called out with a smile while Sun Qian whispered in a low voice to Zhang Hao.
"That’s my nemesis from school; her husband is a top-notch lawyer with an annual income of a million."
No sooner had she spoken than the woman noticed Zhang Hao.
"Sun Qian, is this your boyfriend or your fiancé?"
Sun Qian spoke eloquently, "He’s currently my boyfriend, but I guess he’ll become my fiancé after a little while."
After the pair took their seats, Sun Qian found that Zhang Hao wasn’t shy at all and was even getting along quite well with her classmates.
At that moment, that woman started another round of teasing.
"Sun Qian, let me tell you, when choosing a boyfriend, you can’t just go for looks; you have to see if he has ’the goods’."
"Being a woman is too tough; if things aren’t comfortable in the bedroom, then that’s the real misery."
"Just like me, Han has to have it five or six times a week with me; I can’t even decline if I wanted to."
As soon as the subject was brought up, Sun Qian’s face blurred with embarrassment, and she instinctively glanced at Zhang Hao, who sat beside her.
Zhang Hao answered with neither inferiority nor arrogance, "This kind of thing still depends on Sun Qian. She’s usually busy with work, and I can’t just ignore her feelings for the sake of my own pleasure."
"We generally choose a night when she has the next day off to indulge, but so far, according to my performance, Sun Qian should be quite satisfied, right?"
