Chapter 372: Chapter 369 Sister, I Need to Pee
"Running into your mom tonight must be fate, so I’ll treat you to something delicious,"
"Do you want a burger or pizza?"
The young man repeatedly waved his hands: "No, no, sister, I have food in my room. I’ll just have some cookies and milk."
"Your mom letting me stay here has saved me on rent, so let me treat you to a meal as if I were paying rent, how about that?"
"Besides, I’m just ordering takeout, not cooking some dark cuisine, so you don’t need to be afraid I’ll put something extra in the food."
In the end, the boy couldn’t resist He Qianhui’s various enticements and nodded in agreement.
He Qianhui opened her smartphone and entered the address here.
She asked the boy what he liked to eat and placed two separate orders.
"Thank you, sister. I’ll go back to my room to study,"
He Qianhui nodded, watched the boy return to his room, and closed the door temporarily.
It was too late, and she didn’t feel like fussing, so she decided to shower the next morning.
Soon, there were knocks on the door, and He Qianhui instinctively got up from the bed to answer it.
But she was a step behind. The boy was quicker than her, already coming out of his room, heading towards the door.
The two delivery guys arrived almost simultaneously. The boy took both orders and brought one to He Qianhui.
"Sister, this is yours,"
He Qianhui took it and thanked him repeatedly, and the boy said shyly,
"Sister, I should be the one thanking you. Without you, I might have gone hungry tonight again."
He Qianhui didn’t plan to eat in the bedroom and said with a smile, "It’s boring to eat alone; why don’t we eat together?"
The boy didn’t think twice and nodded repeatedly.
They went to the living room and set the takeout on the coffee table.
Because He Qianhui always worried about her figure, she dared not eat regular meals.
When ordering the takeout, she searched back and forth in the delivery app for quite some time before finally finding a restaurant that could make light food.
For President Du’s son, she ordered things like burgers and fries.
After eating her fill, He Qianhui went back to her room to rest.
It was the boy who obediently cleaned up the battlefield, taking all the trash down to dispose of it.
All these actions were observed by He Qianhui, who suddenly thought it would be quite nice if her future children could be as obedient and sensible.
With that thought, she glanced at her flat belly.
Without looking too far ahead, just the pregnancy alone meant the belly would stretch to many times its usual size for ten months.
After giving birth, there would be a whole series of problems to face. For women without a certain amount of courage, the prospect of pregnancy could indeed be daunting.
Thinking this, He Qianhui shook her head repeatedly. Having children was something best left to nature.
After resting for one night at Gu Yue’s place, the next early morning, He Qianhui had to get ready to sign a contract.
Recalling she hadn’t had the chance to bathe the previous night, she took the opportunity to use the bathroom for a hot shower while Gu Yue was still out.
At the same time, Gu Yue’s son also woke up, seemingly having forgotten there was an unfamiliar woman in the house.
The moment he opened his eyes, he covered his crotch and ran toward the bathroom.
Upon pushing the door open, he was surprised to hear the sound of running water.
Thankfully, He Qianhui was behind the shower curtain, and he was relieved that it was opaque.
"Sorry, sis, I forgot you were at home, but I really need to pee now. I’ll head out right after,"
the boy said and seemed unable to hold it any longer. He pulled down his pants halfway and started urinating into the toilet.
He Qianhui had to use the sound of the shower to try to cover the sound of his urination.
Eventually, the sound diminished quite a bit, until at last, the boy pulled up his pants and scurried out.
He Qianhui breathed a sigh of relief, quickly rinsed off the excess foam with the shower, and changed into her pajamas before coming out of the bathroom.
She then sat down in the living room. This pajama set was the most conservative one she had brought with her.
The boy came out of his room and saw He Qianhui sitting on the couch with her legs crossed.
Those long, fair legs of hers captivated him completely.
"Sis, my mom just called and said she’ll only be able to come back later this morning."
"I just took an order and need to make a long-distance run. Are you hungry? I can go down and buy some steamed buns,"
He Qianhui said with a slight smile, "Sure, go ahead. Do you have enough money? I can give you some."
As she spoke, He Qianhui got up and went to the bedroom, taking a hundred-yuan note from her wallet.
"Here, take this. Besides the buns, buy some other snacks too."
When handing him the money, He Qianhui didn’t notice the state of her clothes.
But as for the boy, using his height advantage, his gaze kept sweeping over He Qianhui’s prominent features.
"Sis, this is too much money."
"The rest is for your running-around fee. I can’t let you go to all this trouble for nothing, right?"
After the boy left, He Qianhui waited until the water spots on her had mostly dried before changing her clothes.
When the boy returned, she was in the restroom, slowly blow-drying her wet hair.
After getting everything arranged, she had a simple meal.
"Sis, you’re so pretty. Do you have a boyfriend?"
He Qianhui had never been asked this question by a younger boy before.
"Of course, I do. Why do you ask?"
"Nothing, just asking, just asking. Please, don’t take it to heart, sis," he hastily added.
He Qianhui didn’t mean to blame him.
On the contrary, she found his childlike bluntness rather endearing. Besides, assessing a child’s character should start from an early age.
"It’s getting late, and I should be going. Thank you for letting me stay with you and your mom last night. If I ever have a chance to come here again, I’ll be sure to visit."
Before leaving, He Qianhui left money under the pillow in the driver’s bedroom, following the customary amount she would pay for a hotel stay.
After leaving, He Qianhui messaged Zhang Hao to inform him that she was about to go sign the contract with President Du.
If he could make it in time, he should come along; if not, then after signing the contract, she would prepare to head home.
After a night’s work, only resting at dawn, Zhang Hao was deep in sleep at this moment.
The sound of his phone didn’t affect him at all. By the time he woke up and saw the message, several hours had already passed.
In a hurry, he messaged He Qianhui to ask how things were going.
Learning that He Qianhui had already successfully signed the contract and even booked her return ticket,
he asked Zhang Hao whether he wanted to go back with her or stay a few more days with that Miss Gu.
Whether he could stay for a few more days would depend on Gu Yue’s arrangements. However, Zhang Hao had only taken two days off and probably couldn’t stay much longer.
