Chapter 373: Chapter 370 Overturning Clouds and Rain
At the moment He Qianhui sent the message, Zhang Hao immediately found Gu Yue and asked her when she planned to return.
And Gu Yue gave Zhang Hao a precise answer, lately the company affairs have been rather busy.
Moreover, the cooperation with President Du had already been scheduled, and there was simply no spare time to linger here.
So she had to leave tonight.
"Don’t you want to hang out here with your sister, or has she already settled everything on her end?"
Gu Yue didn’t need to ask Zhang Hao excessively to guess the gist of the situation.
Zhang Hao nodded: "My sister just sent a message, said she’s already settled the cooperation with President Du and is planning to report back."
Gu Yue raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Isn’t that good, everyone’s happy. Do you plan to go back together?"
To prevent Gu Yue from discovering too much, Zhang Hao casually fabricated a lie.
"No need for that, the little girl has already bought her own ticket back."
"Then your sister is quite capable, handling such a long journey all by herself."
"It’s you, her brother, who is afraid of the front and the back. Now that she’s fixed everything on her end..."
"I have no reason to continue staying here either, so we might as well buy tickets and head back too."
Zhang Hao did not hesitate: "Okay then, let’s go back today, I have to work tomorrow anyway."
Gu Yue came up to Zhang Hao and asked in a low voice, "Is it that you have to work, or that you’re worried about your sister?"
"But it’s okay. After this trip back, it’ll probably be a long while before we see each other again."
Actually, Zhang Hao didn’t really like when Gu Yue said things like this.
But what Gu Yue said was also true, his job wasn’t one where he could simply take leave of absence easily.
"Mr. Zhang, although we won’t have much time together once we return this time, don’t forget the promise you made to me."
Zhang Hao approached Gu Yue and asked, "What did I promise you?"
Gu Yue grabbed hold of his collar, forcing him to come closer to her.
"You promised me that whenever you have time, you’ll come to my company for a health check. How come you’ve already forgotten after such a short while?"
Zhang Hao took Gu Yue’s hand off his collar and said with a smile, "How could I forget such an important thing?"
"Rest assured. As long as I have time, I’ll definitely come by, just afraid that when that time comes, Miss Gu you won’t have the time, you’re such a busy person."
In an instant, Gu Yue placed her lips on Zhang Hao’s, as if a dragonfly skimming the water.
No sooner had they touched, not even getting to fully feel the softness of the lips, they separated again.
"Whenever Mr. Zhang comes, I always have time."
Zhang Hao touched his lips and smiled slightly: "Alright then, I can be at ease."
They booked the evening flight and returned in just a few hours.
And that night, Gu Yue naturally did not let Zhang Hao go, having him stay the whole night at her place.
And that night, Zhang Hao didn’t rest for a second.
Whether it was the bathroom, living room, bedroom or balcony, they left their marks everywhere.
Only as dawn was breaking did Gu Yue let Zhang Hao stop.
"Alright, alright, take advantage of the little time we have and rest a bit."
"I don’t want you making mistakes taking pulses of other patients."
Zhang Hao was amused by Gu Yue’s concern.
"Is my medical skill that bad? It’s not as if I’d diagnose a male patient as having a joyful pulse."
"Who knows? I’m going to take a shower first."
Gu Yue had just gone to shower when Zhang Hao immediately sent a message to He Qianhui, asking if she had already gotten home.
But Zhang Hao didn’t hold much hope.
If He Qianhui had made it home last night, then she should still be resting at this time, completely unaware of the message he had sent.
No more than two seconds after the message was sent, He Qianhui replied, "When are you coming back? I’ll pick you up at the airport."
Zhang Hao was stunned for a second upon seeing this message.
He then checked the flights from last night, intending to find an earlier arrival to bluff his way through.
But after looking around, he didn’t find any suitable flight and ended up telling the truth.
"I came back last night, but Miss Gu wasn’t feeling well, so we found a hotel nearby to rest temporarily."
"I’ll head straight to the hospital in a bit, and you tell me what you want to eat tonight—I’ll bring it home after work."
He Qianhui, who had hardly rested well all night,
started to tear up upon seeing Zhang Hao’s reply.
He clearly could have told the truth, that he went to the hotel to sleep with Miss Gu.
Yet he chose to tell a lie, concealing it from her.
However, He Qianhui also knew that men, in general, liked to have multiple women.
And as an ordinary woman, even if she performed exceptionally well in her job, she couldn’t help Zhang Hao’s career in any significant way.
On the other hand, Miss Gu was beautiful, with a good family background, and the ability to help him solve problems.
He Qianhui couldn’t help feeling remorse that she didn’t have a stronger background.
If she had, Zhang Hao wouldn’t need to be so close with the Gu family.
There certainly was no love between those two; their relationship was beyond love.
He Qianhui was not sure whether such a thought was just self-deception.
"I’m not working today, so I’ll go to the market in a bit and see what you want to eat. How about I prepare some seafood for dinner tonight?"
Considering the toll of the past few days, Zhang Hao thought he should really take time to replenish.
"That sounds good. Just charge whatever you buy to me, and I’ll reimburse you later. Got to go now, I’m going to take a nap."
Though he said he was going to nap, Zhang Hao felt restless and kept tossing and turning in bed.
Until Gu Yue emerged from her shower, "What on earth are you doing?"
Seeing Zhang Hao rolling around in bed, Gu Yue even thought he had lice on him.
"Nothing. Now that you’re done, it’s my turn to take a shower."
Without waiting for Gu Yue’s response, Zhang Hao had already entered the bathroom.
The moment the warm water cascaded over him, it felt as if all of last night’s fatigue had instantly vanished.
Gu Yue took out her skincare products and sat in front of the mirror, carefully applying them. Before she knew it, more than an hour had passed.
There was no chance for a nap anymore.
"I’ll take you to the hospital later. I remember your car is still at my company’s parking lot."
"No need, you go straight to the office. I’ll drive myself to the hospital; that way, I won’t have to go back for my car after work."
Zhang Hao had his own plans, and Gu Yue didn’t deter him.
When Zhang Hao arrived at the hospital, he hadn’t even switched on his computer before the Director of Surgery took him away.
If Zhang Hao had arrived a few minutes later, the Director of Surgery would have been unable to resist calling him for a ’life-or-death’ urgent summons.
"What’s the rush now?"
