Chapter 384: Chapter 381 In Bed
This was a conversation Zhang Hao had trouble responding to for a while.
After thinking it through, he still spoke with extremely calm words.
"Whether or not there’s an affair, your word alone doesn’t count, and even if there was, Nurse Lin wasn’t married at the time."
"That’s something both parties consent to, and since you don’t care about her safety, I will find a way myself."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao put the mobile phone back in its place and drove Lin Wan straight to a hotel.
He used his own ID card to book a room and finally managed to support her back to it.
Lin Wan actually vomited again, and as Zhang Hao was cleaning up the mess, her phone rang once more.
No more than twenty minutes had passed; it was clear that the man was quite anxious, after all, being cuckolded is not a good look when word gets out.
After dealing with the mess on the ground, Zhang Hao then retrieved Lin Wan’s mobile phone.
He answered the call from her husband.
The moment the call connected, the man was still cursing furiously.
But this time, Zhang Hao didn’t indulge him.
"Can you clean up your mouth a bit? We’re just colleagues."
"If you continue to pin this baseless accusation on me, I reserve the right to hold you accountable.
"I know you have quite the background, but the more clout one has, the more they care about their reputation. You wouldn’t want your business partners to laugh at you, would you?"
With just that sentence, Zhang Hao had gained leverage over Lin Wan’s husband.
"Fine, I’ll assume you two are just colleagues. Where is she now? I’ll come and take her home."
Zhang Hao mentioned the hotel’s name, guessing there wouldn’t be a second one with the same name around here.
He waited in the room for half an hour until the man finally arrived, late.
Upon seeing Zhang Hao, flames of anger seemed to shoot from his eyes.
"I hope an incident like this won’t happen a second time."
Zhang Hao spoke up before him.
"I don’t want there to be a second time either."
"If you don’t want a second time, then take good care of your wife. Women need to be cherished."
"Not yelled at. If you don’t like her, you might as well set her free early on."
The man held Lin Wan in his arms, and from their respective heights, Zhang Hao was a bit taller.
But in terms of anger, Zhang Hao seemed to be somewhat lesser.
"It’s my business and has nothing to do with you. Please keep your distance from my wife in the future."
Zhang Hao shrugged. If not for work, he probably would never have crossed paths with Lin Wan in his life.
Watching the man take Lin Wan away, Zhang Hao also checked out of the room.
By the time he got home, He Qianhui had already fallen asleep. Considering everything that happened, Zhang Hao didn’t rush to tell her about it.
It wouldn’t be too late to tell her when she woke up the next morning.
After all that busyness, he was drenched in sweat again.
Zhang Hao took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
Only when he came back did he find that He Qianhui was already awake.
"What’s the matter? Did I make too much noise and wake you up?"
He Qianhui shook her head: "I wasn’t really asleep, just a bit drowsy. How did it go, you’ve taken care of everything, haven’t you?"
"Pretty much. I called her husband and her husband came to pick her up,"
"But I guess she must be going through some hard times to drink so much on her own, the more she drinks, the more sorrowful she gets."
Seeing the man she liked return, He Qianhui felt a sense of relief as if regaining something lost.
"Actually, the moment you left, I was prepared for the possibility that you wouldn’t come back tonight."
"If you really didn’t come back, I probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight either, not sure since when."
"I suddenly developed this fear of losing you, I’m afraid you’ll meet someone better than me at work."
Upon hearing He Qianhui say this, Zhang Hao knew she was overthinking things again.
Sitting next to her, cradling her face, "How could that be possible? I’m not the kind to aim for the unattainable."
"I want to lead a stable life with you, those people aren’t someone I can just come across with a wave of my hand."
"Don’t you know, the higher one sits, the colder it feels, and they’d long for the life of an ordinary person even more."
"I’m just an ordinary person myself, though I also want to live an ordinary life, only by managing my small world properly."
"Can I make others envious, as for everyone else and everything else, to me, they’re just fleeting moments, you don’t have to worry so much."
With Zhang Hao’s reassurance, He Qianhui’s mood gradually improved.
This night, exceptionally, the two of them didn’t do anything.
Slept soundly until morning.
Of the two-day holiday, only the last day remained.
Zhang Hao didn’t want this rare holiday to go to waste for nothing.
After giving it much thought, he arranged with friends to find a place to do some outdoor barbequing.
Once the time and place were set, he started preparing the ingredients.
For the night’s outdoor barbeque, several friends were also running around, busy with preparations.
When the time came, Zhang Hao drove with He Qianhui to the agreed location.
Upon arrival, they saw friends had already started lighting the charcoal.
"I thought you weren’t going to show up, was just about to give you a call."
"How could I not come."
"I’ve heard you’re doing quite well lately. Out of all our classmates, it seems like you’re the only one who’s doing decently."
"You should show us a path or two."
Zhang Hao, embarrassed, "How can I do that? I took a different approach, a unique path. Aren’t you afraid I’ll lead you all into a ditch?"
"How could that be possible, I’ve studied surgery after all. It’s just that I can’t find a decent hospital."
"The money I earn each month, I’ve already planned how to spend it before it even reaches my hands."
"Last month I spent so much. If I don’t switch to a better hospital soon, I’ll starve."
Zhang Hao sighed, "It’s not as bad as you make it sound, but as of now, our hospital doesn’t seem to be hiring."
"Why don’t you try the city hospital? After all, Lin Zhen is there, and we’re from the same school, he should give you some face."
No sooner had he said this than his friends vehemently refused.
"No way we’re considering the city hospital. That place is murky and murky. The medical skills are fierce, but the competition among colleagues is also strong."
Zhang Hao agreed with a smile and quickly moved the ingredients from the car.
Besides bringing his girlfriend, several friends also called their girlfriends over.
The women sat at a small table, chatting idly.
The men squatted on the ground and started barbequing.
"I’m getting married at the end of the year, and you all have to come."
"Then I’ll have to give a big red envelope. You’ll have to return double," Zhang Hao volunteered first.
The friends looked towards Zhang Hao’s girlfriend.
"You, this guy, what kind of dumb luck did you have? A good job and such a beautiful girlfriend. Compared to you, we seem like mere fillers."
As soon as this was mentioned, Zhang Hao boasted with pride, "Not just good, she’s clearly my soul mate."
One of the buddies nudged Zhang Hao with his elbow and asked, "So how about in bed, is she just as good?"
