Chapter 360: Chapter 357: Know My Formidability
The route home was forever etched in his mind, and Zhang Hao brought He Qianhui back home in the quickest time possible.
Throughout the journey, He Qianhui couldn’t fall into a deep sleep, but when the car stopped at the front door, she unexpectedly awoke.
Stretching and opening her eyes, she said, "Huh, we’re already home? That was fast."
He Qianhui glanced at the time and realized it was already four or five in the afternoon.
"Driving must have tired you out, do you want to come up and rest?"
Zhang Hao turned off the engine and rested one hand on the steering wheel, turning his body to look at her.
"Xiaohui, I know I was wrong today, but please, don’t be mad at me."
He Qianhui yawned while sitting in the chair, "What’s there for me to be angry about? Don’t go attributing things to me that I haven’t done."
"You mean you’re not angry? I don’t believe it, and everything today was completely within my control,"
"I can assure you with a hundred percent certainty that nothing unexpected would happen. Even the appearance of the ranger wasn’t under my control, but he didn’t do anything to you, did he?"
He Qianhui ignored him, "Hurry up and hand me my underwear; while there’s no one around, I should quickly get dressed."
Zhang Hao immediately took her underwear out of the bag.
"Actually, whether you wear it or not, it doesn’t really make a difference."
He Qianhui shot him a glare without saying a word, took off her shirt, put on the underwear, and then put her shirt back on.
Only then did He Qianhui finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"You said you’d take me to eat hotpot tonight, so I won’t go up. Just put the things back inside, and then let’s go look for a Sichuan flavor firepot place."
For a moment, Zhang Hao felt as though He Qianhui was deliberately teasing him.
But he had no proof of that.
After delivering the things from the car back to the house and descending from the upstairs, he saw He Qianhui coming out of the supermarket.
Zhang Hao hurried over, "Where are you off to now?"
"I was afraid you would be thirsty, so I went down to buy you a couple of drinks."
Zhang Hao, seeing the plastic bag in her hands, said with a smile, "You really do care about me."
He Qianhui cracked a small smile; she hadn’t gotten out of the car to buy water for Zhang Hao.
Her main goal was to remove the little toy she had inserted into her body.
If she told Zhang Hao directly, he would definitely disagree.
She had to distract him to have the chance to take the little thing out of her body.
"Have you been up to something bad behind my back?"
"What bad things could I possibly do behind your back? I just took this little thing out, that’s all."
Zhang Hao glanced at it once, "That explains why you needed me to take everything back inside from the car. You really are a clever little devil."
He Qianhui tilted her head away, not looking at him, but noticed Zhang Hao was also holding a bag.
And in that bag seemed to be clothes.
"What’s that you have there?"
"You wanted to go for hotpot, didn’t you? But you hate the smell of it on your clothes, so I brought you a change of clothes. You should thank me."
Seeing how thoughtful Zhang Hao was, He Qianhui nodded and thanked him.
"It seems I doubted you unfairly. Let’s get going."
After storing away the little toy, Zhang Hao drove her to the highest-rated hotpot restaurant in the city.
They arrived early, before the peak dining hours, but upon entering they discovered
the place was already packed, with no seats available. To have this meal, He Qianhui was willing to wait, and so she spent half an hour sitting at the door.
Finally, a table of customers finished eating and prepared to leave.
Once there was a free table, she immediately pulled Zhang Hao inside.
She hadn’t had a satisfying lunch, so she wanted to make up for it with a nice hot pot dinner.
Zhang Hao naturally had no objections, especially since he promised to take her out for hot pot.
The two of them took up a large table, which was filled with all the ingredients He Qianhui liked to eat.
"Ordering so much, are you planning to turn yourself into a competitive eater?"
"Whether I become a competitive eater or not is none of your business. It’s not like I can’t afford this meal. When did you start to become so stingy?"
Zhang Hao was not fond of the word ’stingy,’ so he waved the server over and ordered two more plates of meat.
He Qianhui didn’t stop him and as the pot began to boil, she immediately took off her sun protection clothing.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao quickly interjected, "Why are you stripping off clothes now?"
"It’s too hot, and besides, the clothes I’m wearing underneath aren’t revealing."
True, the clothes weren’t revealing, but they were form-fitting and showed off her good figure perfectly.
At Zhang Hao’s insistence, He Qianhui put the sun protection clothing back on, but the heat returned immediately.
Other customers also asked the owner of the hot pot restaurant to turn the air conditioning down further.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to enjoy the meal.
For this, Zhang Hao was extremely grateful.
During the meal, Zhang Hao got up to go to the restroom. When he came back, he saw a guy standing in front of He Qianhui.
He was chatting with her with a smile and even took out his phone to scan a QR code!
Zhang Hao walked over, and the man tactfully left.
"Who was that guy? Why was he talking so close to you, and you were all smiles watching him, were you thinking of..."
"What are you thinking about? He’s a colleague of mine. He just recognized me, and we exchanged contact information. We might encounter each other at work in the future."
Zhang Hao was full of suspicion and found it hard to believe.
However, He Qianhui didn’t continue the subject and merely fished out some cooked beef rolls from the pot.
"Come on, eat up. You’ve had a tiring day too. Do you really think I’m so petty?"
After saying this, He Qianhui scooped up a few shrimp balls into her bowl.
"Who knows what you’re thinking? If you dare flirt with other men, I’ll..."
"You’ll do what?"
"Haven’t decided yet, but I’m pretty sure after experiencing me, no other man could satisfy you."
He Qianhui couldn’t help but laugh and took a drink to settle herself.
"You really think you’re the best, don’t forget there are always bigger fish. You’re not necessarily the best, and if there is someone suitable, I should give others a chance too."
As soon as Zhang Hao heard this, his mood plummeted.
"Just wait. Tonight I’m going to teach you a lesson, and you’ll see who’s really the best."
He Qianhui ignored him and continued to eat her meal.
Only after they were full and satisfied did they leave the hot pot restaurant.
As soon as they got into the car, Zhang Hao locked the doors and adjusted the backseat.
He pulled He Qianhui to lie down.
"What are you doing? This is a parking lot."
"So what if it’s a parking lot? Who’s going to peer into my car window at this hour? I need to show you right now how good I am."
