Chapter 468: Chapter 465 Give Me Another Chance
Traveling is all about experiencing the unique scenery here, unlike the steel and concrete of the city that even blocks the sun.
You can’t see any scenery at all.
"Okay, how about we pack light tomorrow? This way we can save a lot of trouble on the road."
He Qianhui didn’t bother much with the travel details, leaving it all to Zhang Hao to arrange.
Zhang Hao was very grateful for her complete trust. After all, he had very little, if any, experience with traveling before this.
But when it really came to preparing for tomorrow’s outing, it felt like everything was needed.
Power bank, water bottle, thermos, even a picnic mat needed to be packed.
Claiming to pack light, they still ended up with a backpack filled to the brim.
"Should we just rent a car? It’d be more convenient with a car," He Qianhui suggested.
"The car has already been rented. It will be delivered to us tomorrow," Zhang Hao said.
After that previous incident, He Qianhui didn’t fully trust Zhang Hao’s ability to rent cars.
"Show me what kind of car you rented this time. While it’s still early, there’s time to make changes if necessary."
Zhang Hao took out his phone and pulled up his chat history with the car rental owner.
After looking it over, He Qianhui finally felt at ease.
"It’s not that I don’t trust you, but what you did last time was a bit too outrageous, forcing me to see it to believe it."
Zhang Hao frowned, "Last time I was just trying to amuse you. Besides, that small car did meet our needs."
"If we had a bigger car in that busy area, just the traffic alone would have completely worn out your patience."
"Without that small car, how could we have maneuvered so freely?"
He Qianhui didn’t expect Zhang Hao to have such a strong defense and simply rolled her eyes at him without replying.
The next morning, right on schedule, the car rental owner delivered the car.
Seeing the large jeep, He Qianhui was thrilled, although she used to think such boxy cars were unattractive.
But now, her taste seemed to have changed.
"This car looks great, very sturdy. Is the power adequate?"
With that question, Qianhui obviously showed her lack of knowledge in cars.
Luckily, the rental owner didn’t mock her.
"This car is perfect for these types of roads, and we’ve equipped you with special tires."
"They have better grip, and as long as you don’t drive into a wall, you’re guaranteed to return as you came."
Upon hearing this, He Qianhui realized this car must be expensive.
"Then the rental price must be quite steep," He Qianhui asked.
The car rental owner chuckled and said, "It’s still much cheaper than if you drove here yourselves."
That was true. If their own car got stuck here, calling for a tow could start in the five figures.
Even after towing their own car back, it would require major repairs.
In the end, it would not be cost-effective, while renting a car here, one that could handle all terrains, wouldn’t cost much and would enhance the emotional value of the trip.
After the car rental owner left, Zhang Hao gestured to He Qianhui to hurry back to the room and grab the backpack they packed yesterday.
The two of them were now ready to head toward their destination.
He Qianhui didn’t say a word and hurried upstairs, carrying two backpacks, and had just closed the door.
When she heard voices behind her, somehow the girl had also opened her door.
"I’m telling you, I haven’t forgiven you. I just think it’s a shame not to walk around since we’re here."
"But don’t think that by doing this, the things you did before can be erased. I’m still going to hold you accountable."
"You have to admit your mistakes to my parents when we get back. If they can forgive you, I’ll let bygones be bygones, but I think that’s unlikely."
The man was pulling a small suitcase, following the woman without daring to make a sound.
For a moment, He Qianhui couldn’t understand why that man would choose to live this way.
He Qianhui sped up and went into the elevator; she had no intention of listening to the couple’s conversation.
Unfortunately, the space in the elevator was so limited that it was impossible not to hear unless she plugged her ears.
"Xi, please forgive me. Do you know how long it’s been since we were together?"
"I really couldn’t help myself those days, but I didn’t do anything substantial with that woman."
"I just let her use her mouth to help me release some tension, and I’m sure she’s clean. If you don’t believe me, I’ll go for a checkup at the hospital when we get back."
"How could I do anything to hurt you? I know my abilities are limited, and I’m prepared to start over when we return."
"I promise I won’t disappoint your father this time. If I still can’t satisfy him, I’ll step aside, but it would be a pity to waste our three years of relationship."
The girl kept playing with her phone throughout, apparently chatting with someone else and showing no interest in her boyfriend’s words.
"You really think too highly of yourself. Even an ordinary person with a little education understands the ways of the world."
"And yet you understand nothing. You were lucky this time that the important person didn’t really blame you."
"Otherwise, even my family would have suffered. I really don’t know if my father was right or wrong to help you."
Thankfully, the elevator soon reached the first floor, and He Qianhui hastened out as soon as the door opened.
Zhang Hao must have thought the wait too long; he had come down from the car to meet her: "Why did it take so long?"
He Qianhui glanced back and whispered, "Those two came down with me. I was just watching the excitement; let’s go."
The two of them carried their bags and left the hotel, just got into the car when they saw those two also at the doorstep.
The woman, seeing nothing in front of her, grabbed the man by the ear.
"Weren’t you the one who said everything was ready? Are you planning to make me walk to the sightseeing spots in heels? Where’s the car?"
The man quickly took out his phone, still explaining: "I’ve booked a car. I had an agreement for it to be delivered today; I even paid the deposit."
The anger of the girl was palpable, her face could have dripped water.
He found the rental car company’s boss in the chat list, but after sending the message, it showed he had been deleted.
"Damn, it’s a scam. Xi, don’t worry, I’ll contact another rental company right away. I guarantee the car will be here within an hour."
The girl raised her hand and slapped the man.
"You can’t even handle this small matter, and you still want to be with me? Dream on, I’m buying a plane ticket home now."
The man had been slapped but was still pleading with his girlfriend not to be angry and to give him another chance.
Having fastened her seatbelt, He Qianhui watched the scene unfold.
"Should we give them a lift?" Her altruism kicked in again.
However, Zhang Hao refused outright; he didn’t want a ruckus all the way.
