Chapter 322: Chapter 319: The Last Time
Zhang Hao suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, woken by the urge to urinate.
He hurried out of bed, went to the bathroom to relieve himself, and hurried back.
The moment he slipped back under the covers, he held He Qianhui tight.
His hands, as if they had radar, covered the softness without any deviation.
He Qianhui, still in her sleep, murmured in response to being disturbed.
But Zhang Hao found this extremely comforting.
They slept until daylight, and when He Qianhui opened her eyes, she noticed the weather wasn’t too good today.
It seemed a bit gloomy and overcast.
She opened the weather app on her phone to check today’s weather.
It reported overcast skies, no rain.
He Qianhui, still wrapped in her robe, returned to bed.
It was the weekend, a perfect time for sleeping in. She didn’t want the weather to spoil her mood.
"How come, didn’t you say we were going to get up early today?"
Zhang Hao also woke up at this point and saw He Qianhui get up only to lie back down.
He didn’t know what she had seen.
He Qianhui held Zhang Hao tight, resting her face on his broad chest.
"It’s still early, I don’t want to go out so soon, and besides, the weather is not nice today. Let’s sleep in a little longer," she said.
Zhang Hao cuddled her again. Having such a life as a man, he didn’t know how many people would be envious.
The two lay in bed for another half-hour before they got up leisurely and started dressing.
"I was so tired yesterday. I slept so well last night. How about you?"
"It was okay, but could you not mess with me when you come back from the bathroom in the middle of the night?"
Her words sounded like a complaint.
Zhang Hao, while organizing his clothes, said softly, "How did I mess with you? I just pulled you into my arms. Does that count as messing around?"
He Qianhui smiled sweetly, "Exactly! I was sleeping so well, and you just had to pull me over, you woke me up."
Zhang Hao denied it, waving his hands, "You didn’t wake up at all. You were sleeping so soundly, you were almost snoring."
As for snoring, He Qianhui refused to acknowledge it.
"You’re just teasing me, but I already contacted a custom furniture company yesterday. We’ll go check it out in a bit."
"Let’s not eat at home for breakfast. We’ll settle it downstairs."
The two left home, one after the other.
To outsiders, they appeared to be a husband and wife.
Just thinking about moving away soon and returning to their new home made He Qianhui extremely happy.
Even though the weather wasn’t great today, the good things happening made her mood very cheerful.
During breakfast, He Qianhui chose a seat close to the door.
Zhang Hao, seeing this, went back to the car and brought her a jacket to wear.
"Draping a jacket over me in this hot weather, what for? It’s hot!"
While she spoke, He Qianhui took off the jacket.
But Zhang Hao insisted on her wearing it.
"There are so many men around, aren’t you afraid they’ll stare?"
Today, He Qianhui deliberately wore a sleeveless top, exposing her arms as white as lotus root.
Realizing Zhang Hao did this to protect her,
He Qianhui stopped trying to take off the jacket draped over her shoulders.
After finishing their meal and stepping out of the breakfast place,
a man in his forties deliberately passed by He Qianhui’s side.
The door of the breakfast shop wasn’t very wide, and there wasn’t much room for two people walking side by side.
To let three people pass at the same time, one would certainly have to turn sideways.
The man seemed to be doing it on purpose, and he specifically chose to walk on He Qianhui’s side.
Zhang Hao realized there was a problem and casually pulled He Qianhui along.
Suddenly yanked, He Qianhui didn’t yet know what was happening.
The man, however, blurted out, "Young man, your wife is so beautiful. With such a beautiful wife, you must be careful."
Only upon hearing this did He Qianhui finally understand why Zhang Hao had just pulled her along.
This man was old enough to be her father. It was truly disgusting.
She quickly stepped back two paces behind Zhang Hao, creating distance from the man.
"Don’t worry, uncle, I’m well aware, you don’t need to fret about it."
Seeing Zhang Hao say that, a flash of displeasure crossed the man’s face.
It seemed he was upset because he hadn’t managed to take advantage, feeling disgruntled.
But why should Zhang Hao satisfy this sleazy man’s thoughts?
Once back in the car, Zhang Hao finally allowed He Qianhui to change back into her own clothes.
"Why are there so many bad people now? Do I have to wrap myself up like a zongzi whenever I go out?" He Qianhui complained.
"People with bad intentions are everywhere, so you do need to pay more attention when you’re out,"
"to avoid bringing danger upon yourself." Zhang Hao added.
He Qianhui sighed, thinking it was all too difficult.
Driving to the custom design company, Zhang Hao displayed perfect gentlemanly behavior.
Strangers who saw them could only envy He Qianhui for finding such a good partner.
"Miss He, I didn’t expect you to come over so early. Please wait here for a moment."
He Qianhui nodded and sat down with Zhang Hao in the waiting area.
Before long, the staff member who was in charge of them came over with a tablet.
"Based on what Miss He suggested yesterday, our designers have already come up with a few plans."
"Take a look, and feel free to request any changes."
He Qianhui took the renovation seriously and had looked up a lot of professional knowledge.
However, the apartment was only so big, the effects she wanted had to be scaled down.
But scaling down the effects did not give her the desired result.
Luckily, this custom design company could tailor designs to different spaces.
The few designs they made overnight were all creditable.
Zhang Hao also took a glance but felt the designs were lacking something.
"Could you call your designer over so we can all sit down and discuss it together?"
At this juncture, the store employee made a troubled face.
"Sir, the designer worked overnight and is now resting at home."
Hearing this, He Qianhui persuaded Zhang Hao to let it be.
If they pointed out the issues in the design now and had the store convey them, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Seeing He Qianhui think as such, Zhang Hao didn’t say anything else.
Having spent the whole morning, they finally settled on a design plan.
Leaving the renovation company, the sky had cleared up. At He Qianhui’s suggestion, the two went to the apartment.
Thinking it was about to be completely transformed, they felt somewhat reluctant to let it go.
"Maybe I should take a few more days off to supervise the work here, to prevent the workers from cutting corners."
Zhang Hao was about to agree but then immediately refused.
"No, it’s better I handle supervising the work. Besides, with the renovation company’s staff around, those workers probably won’t resort to such things."
After walking around the room, He Qianhui did something that completely surprised Zhang Hao.
In front of him, she took her top off.
Seeing her do this, Zhang Hao hurried forward, "What are you doing?"
"Now that this place is about to be given a whole new look, don’t you want to have one last hurrah?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile crept up to Zhang Hao’s lips.
