Chapter 473: Chapter 470: A Woman’s Sixth Sense
As soon as Zhang Hao thought about He Qianhui having to go to work the next morning, he didn’t dare take up her rest time.
"Wife, go to sleep earlier, or you won’t be able to get up tomorrow morning,"
He Qianhui responded with a muffled acknowledgment and quickly settled under the covers to sleep.
On the other hand, Zhang Hao fiddled with his phone nonstop.
For such a long time, the woman who had come to him for physical therapy hadn’t sent him any messages.
If it weren’t for her name in his chat list, Zhang Hao would have almost forgotten about her.
Just as he was thinking about her, she actually sent a message.
Upon seeing the message from this woman, Zhang Hao almost threw his phone in a panic.
Thankfully, he managed to get a hold of it in the end; otherwise, the slightest noise would have woken He Qianhui, who had just fallen asleep.
In order not to disturb her rest, Zhang Hao quietly got out of bed and went alone to the study next door.
Looking at the content of the message from the woman, Zhang Hao frowned for no apparent reason.
It was nearly identical to what the neighbor’s husband said, also asking why he hadn’t been to the hospital lately.
She had gone several consecutive days without seeing him.
But regarding the fact that he had gone on a trip, Zhang Hao hadn’t concealed it at all.
On the contrary, he consistently posted about his travels on his social media.
If she paid attention, she would definitely have seen it, yet now she was asking him directly.
Why he hadn’t been at the hospital during this time wasn’t hard to imagine—was he pretending, or was there some other reason? She had to choose this moment to send a message.
Zhang Hao looked at the message for a long time and had already thought of how to reply in his mind.
But when his fingers touched the screen, he still felt unable to type those words.
After much hesitation, he deleted the message, pretending he didn’t receive her message tonight.
Thinking that he didn’t have to work tomorrow and had another day off, Zhang Hao turned on the computer and decided to watch a movie while he wasn’t sleepy yet.
He also worried about the soundproofing of the wall next to him, not wanting to disturb He Qianhui’s rest.
He deliberately kept the volume low, and as he watched, he got hungry. By the time he checked, it was already past midnight.
Nevertheless, Zhang Hao had no trace of sleepiness, and he eventually ordered the takeout he had been hesitant about.
After waiting for half an hour, he received the late-night snack from the delivery guy.
Passing by the bedroom, Zhang Hao looked in instinctively and saw He Qianhui still sleeping soundly.
Zhang Hao then hurried to the study, and just as he opened the takeout box, he heard the sound of the bedroom door opening and closing.
Curiously, Zhang Hao glanced out the door and noticed He Qianhui looking his way with curiosity.
"Why are you here by yourself? I just woke up and thought you had turned into a butterfly and flown away,"
Zhang Hao quickly paused the movie that was playing.
"I just couldn’t sleep. I came here to watch a movie, to pass some time. Why did you get up?"
"To use the bathroom. Are you hungry?"
Zhang Hao didn’t hide it and offered her to have a bite, "I ordered quite a lot."
"No, I won’t. I’m afraid this serving of late-night snack won’t be enough for you, let alone that I still haven’t digested the bowl of noodles from dinner; my stomach feels too stuffed right now,"
After that, He Qianhui hurried off to the bathroom, and before long, Zhang Hao heard her footsteps approaching from afar.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hao resumed the paused movie and continued eating, bite by bite.
By the time he returned to the bedroom, He Qianhui had already fallen asleep.
When he finally fell asleep, the sky was almost bright, so were all the noises that He Qianhui made when she got up.
Zhang Hao turned a deaf ear.
By the time he woke up again, he even skipped lunch.
He had wasted most of the last day of his holiday sleeping.
Zhang Hao felt it was a pity. After getting up, he checked his phone and saw a message from He Qianhui, sent at eleven in the morning.
She told him she would get off work early that evening and asked him to pick her up.
Picking up the woman he liked from work was certainly not a bad thing.
Zhang Hao even dressed up nicely, admiring his handsome reflection.
He could even imagine the exclamations of her colleagues when he arrived at He Qianhui’s company later.
He reached her company before she got off work. Every previous time he had been there, the place was filled with smoke and disputes.
Men and women were arguing nonstop, but fortunately, his wife was always just an observer.
And this time was no exception.
When He Qianhui saw her husband arrive, she hurriedly packed her things. Just as she was about to leave, her manager called out to her.
"Xiaohui, wait a moment."
He Qianhui looked at her manager’s worried face, "Manager, didn’t you say I could leave at four? Besides, I’ve already finished today’s work."
The manager chuckled, "This will just take two minutes of your time. I saw your husband come."
"The higher-ups at headquarters said that to thank you for securing that deal, they’ve specially given you a shopping card, you’re the only one in the whole company to receive it, let me pass it on to you."
"How much money is in the shopping card?" He Qianhui, who usually didn’t like talking about money, exceptionally inquired how much was on the card.
The manager glanced at it, "Not sure, probably a few thousand, I guess. Shall I check for you?"
He Qianhui shook her head, "I was just asking casually."
After taking the card, He Qianhui quickly headed into Zhang Hao’s arms.
"What happened, I saw you had already packed up. Your unscrupulous manager detained you again?"
He Qianhui shook her head and handed the shopping card to Zhang Hao.
"This is a reward from the big boss. How about we go spend it tonight? Seems like it covers all the expenses in the mall, but I don’t know how much money is in it. He said there should be a few thousand."
Unearned money is best spent, and Zhang Hao didn’t want to eat at home tonight, so it was just right for the two of them to enjoy a good meal outside with the card.
They headed straight for the food floor at the mall. As for the other floors, they would explore them after having their fill.
Halfway there, He Qianhui suddenly realized an important issue.
They had to confirm how much money was on the card; what if they overspent while shopping later? Wouldn’t that be awkward?
"Wait for me here, I’ll go to the mall’s information desk and ask them to check this card for me."
He Qianhui ran to the mall’s information desk, and after asking the staff, confirmed that the card had an amount of ten thousand yuan.
She was slightly surprised by the amount.
It seemed they wouldn’t be able to spend it all in one go today.
Zhang Hao waited for her by the elevator, and when she returned, he asked, "Is your big boss quite generous? Before this, the highest amount I’ve seen on a shopping card was two thousand yuan."
He Qianhui, holding the card, said with a smile, "I just asked, and there’s ten thousand yuan on this one. I’m treating you today, so eat a lot."
They chose the most expensive restaurant and ordered nearly every expensive dish on the menu.
Even so, they only spent a fifth of the card’s amount.
There was still eight thousand left.
He Qianhui thought she should also get herself some new clothes. Today at work,
the manager had specially called her to the office, telling her that there were several big deals waiting for her to handle.
