Chapter 278: Chapter 275: A Group Photo
He Qianhui knew that, based on Zhang Hao’s understanding of her,
he might pick a nice shirt or pair of shoes for her.
But as for jewelry and handbags, which he had never bought before, someone would need to help him to meet her taste.
"Was it Nurse Lin or that granddaughter of your master?"
Zhang Hao frantically waved his hand, "These two people and I are just ordinary colleagues now."
"To be precise, she’s actually a chief nurse. You know, her husband wasn’t doing too well in that department,"
"I used to help her out, and now her husband has recovered well, and their marital relationship is very harmonious."
"So, I just took the opportunity to talk to her when she wasn’t busy at work, and you two seem to be about the same age."
Thinking that the item wasn’t chosen by Nurse Lin or that Miss Qin,
He Qianhui actually found it rather nice-looking.
She’s a woman, too, and cannot help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
Nowadays, Zhang Hao spends much less time with her than with those nurses.
Even though Lin Wan is married, in this day and age, marriage can’t confine a person’s behavior.
"Then it seems like you’ll have to thank this chief nurse later, because I like everything she’s chosen."
To express her happiness, He Qianhui cradled Zhang Hao’s face and kissed him on the cheek, leaving behind a faint lipstick mark.
"I’m glad you like it, as long as you like it, it proves my efforts were not in vain."
"And the bedroom, have you looked in there yet? There’s another surprise waiting."
He Qianhui had thought Zhang Hao was hiding in the bedroom, so she hadn’t opened the door to go in.
Now that he mentioned it, He Qianhui quickly put down everything she was holding, "Then I’ll go in and have a look."
Zhang Hao nodded. He pushed open the door to the bedroom.
What caught her eye was still that path paved with flowers.
However, as her gaze moved to the bed, He Qianhui’s face involuntarily flushed red again.
"You did this on purpose, didn’t you?"
Zhang Hao walked over, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, "What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you don’t like it."
"These items were all my personal handiwork; nobody else picked or arranged them for me."
He Qianhui thought to herself, if even things like lingerie required someone else’s help in choosing,
then he’d really be quite the oddity.
"Do you want to try them on now?"
"I haven’t bathed yet."
"Oh right, right, go have your bath first."
Even holding the whole set of lingerie in her hand felt weightless,
but it gave He Qianhui some ideas. She also wanted to see what she would look like wearing that set.
It always seemed like the quality of the clothing was quite poor.
While He Qianhui was taking her bath, Zhang Hao went to the kitchen.
Despite seeing that He Qianhui had bought groceries, he had already prepared in advance that day.
The dishes packed from the restaurant were all hidden away from view.
Now was the perfect time to transfer the dishes onto plates.
Of this, He Qianhui, who was soaking in the bath, had no clue.
She thought about whether there would be another big battle tonight?
After Zhang Hao had arranged everything, he even found some candles and dimmed the lights in the living room.
Under the candlelight, it was incredibly romantic.
After her bath, He Qianhui did not rush to put on the outfit.
She casually wrapped herself in a bathrobe, her wet hair still wrapped in a towel.
When she opened the bathroom door, she found the lights outside dim. Was there a power outage?
But then she thought, she had just turned off the lights herself, so it couldn’t be a power outage.
The only possibility was that Zhang Hao did it on purpose.
"There’s no power outage. I turned off the living room’s main light, leaving only a few auxiliary lamps on,"
Following the sound of Zhang Hao’s voice, He Qianhui saw a table set for a sumptuous candlelight dinner.
"What is this..."
She felt an indescribable surprise inside, perhaps the only thing that wasn’t quite romantic on the table was the Chinese food, instead of Western steak dinner.
But this was also very considerate, something other men might not have thought through as well.
Wanting to capture this unforgettable moment, He Qianhui exceptionally asked for a photo with Zhang Hao.
At the same time, to showcase her proud figure, she deliberately left her robe slightly open at the neckline.
Just as she began to reveal her impressive body, Zhang Hao stopped her.
He Qianhui thought he was going to strike some handsome pose, but then she saw him tightening the neckline of her robe, crossing it right below her neck.
"All set!"
"You’re quite something," she said.
"We’re going to post this photo on social media later, and I don’t want those people to see, so better tone it down a bit," he replied.
He Qianhui did not persist too much on this matter.
If he didn’t want her to reveal too much, she wouldn’t.
After all, once the meal was over, she was going to be stripped bare by him anyway.
After taking the photo, He Qianhui didn’t even bother to use a photo editing app to beautify it.
She posted the original photo directly on her social media without blocking anyone, and Zhang Hao did the same.
Both of them shared this unforgettable night openly.
Not long after the post went live, both of their phones began to ding with notifications non-stop.
Picking up the phone, they were greeted with messages of confusion and congratulations from friends and colleagues alike.
Confused about when He Qianhui had started dating a new boyfriend.
Those offering congratulations knew that He Qianhui was divorced and interpreted the photo as signifying the start of a new life.
But as fate would have it, the photo just happened to be seen by Liu Gang as he got off work.
At first, he thought he was seeing things and didn’t look at the photo closely.
Thinking that his ex-wife living a good life post-divorce was nothing special.
But when he recognized the man in the photo, Liu Gang could no longer sit still.
He jumped up, slamming his hand on the table; he had considered the possibility of his ex-wife finding someone in a short time.
But he never imagined that this someone would turn out to be his own cousin.
He had tried and failed to father a child, then threw He Qianhui out of the house, even though he concocted schemes to have her return.
Still, his wishes did not come true.
Now, seeing these two together, living so happily.
Liu Gang thought about his own living situation, confined to a small room not even ten square meters.
Living off instant noodles, this was hardly a fit life for anyone.
But his anger was contained by his reason.
He didn’t make a direct call to find out what was really going on.
Instead, he quietly saved the photo.
If these two denied it later, he would have the photo to hold them accountable.
Knock knock knock, someone was at the door,
Liu Gang reluctantly put down the phone, feigned indifference, and went to open the door.
But upon opening it, he saw a brightly dressed woman standing outside.
Her appearance made it obvious what kind of work she did.
"Get out, I’m not in the mood right now."
"Come on, big brother, I can get you in the mood. It wouldn’t be fair to send me back without any fun," she said.
The woman barged in uninvited, despite Liu Gang saying he wasn’t interested.
Still, she walked in and lay down on the bed as if it was her own.
Liu Gang looked at the woman indignantly, "Who let you in? Get out right now."
