Chapter 475: Chapter 472 Moving to a New Home
The female neighbor looked at her own husband, hoping he would step in to suggest that they keep the meal simple and not be so extravagantly wasteful.
Zhang Hao noticed the woman’s thoughts and hurriedly said, "It’s fine, Xiaohui’s boss gave her a gift card for this place, so we are really just re-gifting."
With Zhang Hao’s explanation, the female neighbor finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest and saying, "You scared me to death. I thought you were stimulated by something and didn’t care about living well anymore."
He Qianhui also laughed at the neighbor’s words.
"How could that be? Now that it’s clear, can we all eat without worries?"
As the dishes were served, the bond between the two families seemed to grow a bit closer.
But it wasn’t until nearly the end of the meal that Zhang Hao made a decision.
The renovations at the new home were complete, and the smell had almost dissipated.
They would be moving in a few days.
The female neighbor heard this and showed a surprised expression.
"You are moving so soon? We’ve just gotten to know each other. What will my husband do?"
The woman’s husband reassured her, "If you’re not happy living here, we can move too. We can still be neighbors then, right?"
The woman was excited, "Really? You wouldn’t find it troublesome?"
The adoration on the man’s face was almost overflowing.
"It’s not troublesome, as long as you like it. I haven’t been able to accompany you these years. Now, whatever you ask for, I’ll agree to."
Zhang Hao and He Qianhui watched the couple’s affection and inevitably thought of their own relationship.
She leaned into Zhang Hao’s arms, full of envy.
The woman immediately turned her head to look at He Qianhui, "Xiaohui, why are you looking at me with such eyes? You’re making me blush."
He Qianhui said, "Seeing how loving the two of you are, I, as a bystander, can’t help but feel envious."
As soon as she mentioned feeling envious, it made the female neighbor feel surprisingly flattered.
"Xiaohui, you’re really flattering me, making it sound as if Doctor Zhang doesn’t love you," she said.
However, this love or lack of love was indeed a tricky thing to say.
The man did not dwell on the conversation between the two women, but instead asked Zhang Hao where their new home was located.
Zhang Hao did not hide anything and openly shared the location of their new home.
The man pretended to think and said, "I know that area, I heard it’s quite nice. If you don’t mind..."
"Could you keep an eye out for rental opportunities over there? She doesn’t have many friends and has hit it off so well with your wife."
"I can’t bear to have her feeling down over something so trivial, but whether or not you’re willing to be our neighbor is up to you."
Zhang Hao didn’t mind at all, "It would be great to continue being neighbors, and that way, when your wife needs to go to the hospital for checks, she won’t always have to wait until after I’m done with other patients."
In fact, the woman hadn’t thought of that, and it was only when Zhang Hao mentioned it that she realized.
"That’s exactly what I mean. Well, since you don’t mind us staying neighbors, we’ll go house hunting these next few days. We might even move before you do."
With that said, Zhang Hao laughed along, "Then you’ll have to come to warm my new home when the time comes."
After finishing their meal and seeing that it was still early, the two families went upstairs to the cinema and bought tickets for a newly released movie.
After the movie, it was getting late, and it was about time to head home.
But the man seemed like he still wanted to take his wife somewhere else for a stroll.
It just so happened that Zhang Hao had work the next day and dared not stay out too long.
So they did not join them for more wandering and drove home. As soon as they got home, He Qianhui asked curiously,
"When are you planning to move? How come you didn’t discuss it with me in advance?"
Zhang Hao said, "I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. The lease on this house expires next month. See if you have time recently to start packing things up, moving bit by bit to the new place."
"The only pity is that I haven’t married you yet, but I think you won’t mind."
Returning to that place, He Qianhui naturally didn’t mind, "You should have discussed it with me, you almost made me lose face in front of others today."
Zhang Hao touched her head, "Next time something like this comes up, I’ll ask you first."
After saying that, He Qianhui took her change of clothes and went to the bathroom, wanting to wash away all the fatigue of the day.
At this moment, Zhang Hao shamelessly followed her in.
He Qianhui seemed to have gotten used to his behavior by now and didn’t find it strange anymore.
So she didn’t bother with a polite eviction.
Seeing that she wasn’t driving him away, Zhang Hao was a bit surprised and stood at the bathroom door, staring at her.
"You always used to dislike it when I came over for a bath with you, so why no opposition today?"
In front of Zhang Hao, He Qianhui took off her clothes without a word, leaving her completely naked.
After all, it didn’t matter if her own man saw her.
"Driving you away is useless, when have you not been thick-skinned?"
Zhang Hao laughed and said, "That’s true, but you’re my wife, so what’s wrong with taking a bath together? Besides, I haven’t taken a bath with anyone else."
He Qianhui didn’t have any way to deal with him on this matter.
After all, she had chosen him, and there was no returning the goods even if she regretted it now.
Taking care of moving was also entirely He Qianhui’s responsibility.
Having thought she would live here for a long time, she had chosen things for their cost-effectiveness when buying.
Sometimes she had impulsively bought expensive things, only to find they weren’t really worth it after using them.
But because of their price, she couldn’t bear to throw them out.
They could only be carefully packed and taken along.
Every day when Zhang Hao came home, he felt that something was missing from the house.
Until one day, even the bowls and chopsticks for eating were gone.
The female neighbor next door moved out even faster than they did.
She had already found a new place and had been waiting there for a while.
After moving to the new home, Zhang Hao’s parents naturally wanted to come over and celebrate.
They also gave a red envelope as thick as the palm of a hand.
At the dinner table, He Qianhui was also very filial, not daring to be too presumptuous in front of Zhang Hao’s parents.
Even though his uncle and aunt had now accepted her, she still had to be careful.
She couldn’t let her future in-laws dislike her from now on.
"Look at you, you’ve gained weight after just a few days," his mother said.
Zhang Hao didn’t think so and immediately countered his mother’s words, "Where have I gotten fat? I’ve even been feeling like I’ve lost weight recently."
"Xiaohui, don’t keep making him delicious food all the time. Let him lose some weight. He’s only in his twenties; he can’t have a beer belly. Otherwise, he’ll be the ugliest one on the wedding day," his mother said.
Zhang Hao’s mother said this with a maintain expression, as if it were a very normal thing to say.
He Qianhui said, "Auntie, I haven’t made him anything that tasty, it’s just that recently, there haven’t been many worries."
"So he looks fatter than before, but I’ll take your advice to heart and make less delicious food for him."
