Chapter 490: Chapter 487: Water Pipe
He Qianhui felt that Zhang Hao’s words were a bit exaggerated—what did he mean by not repeating the same outfit for a week?
Moreover, given their current situation as a couple, once a day seemed like a challenge.
It wasn’t possible to change the outfit each time, was it?
"How much does it cost?"
"Not expensive, this thing is basically disposable, so it can’t be too costly, but I think the styles are nice."
"Once we get back, you just treat it like a blind box, wear whatever you unbox—I can hardly wait to see what you look like in these clothes," Zhang Hao said.
"Then you better explain what those unwarranted remarks meant. Were they just to scare off that guy who was harassing me?" He Qianhui changed the subject.
Zhang Hao nodded, "Clearly that person targeted you because you’re a woman, thinking you’d be easy to bully."
"I don’t want to stir up any conflict; otherwise, we’d have to stay here a few more days to settle it. If we can just scare him off, all’s well."
"You say, us women, even from the same sex we feel jealousy, and from the opposite sex, we face harassment—it’s like living in constant turmoil, and I really feel for you."
He Qianhui found his words a bit odd, "Do you really feel for me, or are you just saying that? To me, you’re just paying lip service. But I guess that guy has probably blocked you. Whether or not he dares to continue to harass other women depends on his courage."
Zhang Hao said, "I just gave a verbal threat, who knows, maybe the next one will take action right away."
"With a mouth as nasty as his, he definitely doesn’t only harass you. Just wait and see."
They continued walking down the street for a while and randomly picked a spot to sit down, soaking in the local atmosphere.
It wasn’t until after eleven at night that they returned to the hotel they were staying at, quite worn out from the night’s activities, neither of them wanted to do anything upon returning.
They took showers one after the other and then lay down on the bed to cultivate sleepiness, and slept throughout the night.
If the alarm hadn’t woken them up, they probably would have slept even longer.
It was He Qianhui’s first time feeling so exhausted, despite no significant physical exertion—she just felt groggy.
Even after sleeping for eight to nine hours, she still felt groggy when she sat up.
But remembering their flight at eleven, she forced her tired body to get up and freshen up.
Zhang Hao, hearing the movements, first opened his eyes to look.
Seeing her freshening up, he took the opportunity to laze in bed for a few more minutes before getting up.
"We’re just leaving like this, you think that female entrepreneur, what will she do to her own daughter?" He Qianhui was still a bit worried.
Zhang Hao said, "At least there shouldn’t be any danger to her life. If my guess is completely correct, then her child will continue being sick."
"Or perhaps, at a set time, the woman gets everything."
"Then the child will end the current way of life, whether it’s good or bad, I can’t say right now."
He Qianhui sighed, "How can a mother be so ruthless, disregarding her own child’s life for some benefits?"
"Unless the daughter isn’t her own, but they bear some resemblance around the eyes—it’s hard to believe they are not related biologically."
So much time had passed that Zhang Hao couldn’t even remember what that girl looked like anymore.
Including her mother—even though the woman threw herself into his arms, he wasn’t really interested.
Perhaps that woman was just trying to conceal some truth, deliberately making such a gesture.
If at that moment He Qianhui had seen that and left in a huff, then Zhang Hao wouldn’t have continued to press that issue.
He would definitely chase after He Qianhui, thereby leaving the mystery unsolved, and since they weren’t that closely related.
In other words, although Zhang Hao was a doctor, he had no right to inquire about that woman’s child or anything related to her.
"Alright, stop worrying about these things, I think that girl should also lead a stable life. At least her mother seems to care about her on the surface," Zhang Hao said.
Zhang Hao had little luggage, coming and going just as he arrived, and He Qianhui only had a small suitcase as well.
She knew things would not be too difficult this time, but her kindness almost ruined everything.
Fortunately, in the end, things took a turn for the better and the contract was signed.
"Alright then, I’ll stop thinking about it, as if I never saw it."
Arriving at the airport, they prepared to board the plane.
It wasn’t until the two of them found their seats and sat down that everything finally settled down.
To pass the time on the short flight, Zhang Hao did not plan to sleep on the plane.
He might wake up just in time to get off the plane.
Instead, he decided to watch a movie to relieve the boredom, whereas He Qianhui didn’t seem as energetic as Zhang Hao.
The movie wasn’t very interesting, and He Qianhui yawned as she watched.
Before long, she fell asleep on Zhang Hao’s shoulder and stayed that way until the plane landed, when Zhang Hao finally woke her up.
"What’s going on with you? You slept so much last night, how could you still be so tired? Are you not feeling well? Why didn’t you tell me?"
Zhang Hao wasn’t in a hurry to disembark; with so many passengers on the plane, it was no problem for him to wait.
While the other passengers hurried off, Zhang Hao took He Qianhui’s pulse.
"I’m fine, I’ve just been preoccupied the last few days, probably overthinking, which led to my poor mental state. Don’t worry too much about it."
Zhang Hao straightened He Qianhui’s head and pressed his ear to her forehead.
"I hear a loud sound of water flowing; your head is full of water, yet you can still think?"
Realizing that Zhang Hao was teasing her, He Qianhui raised her hand to hit him.
"What are you talking about? You’re the one whose head is full of water. You’re made entirely of water," he retorted.
Zhang Hao chuckled and said, "Well, I don’t have as much water as you; you at least have a drainage pipe down there."
The passengers were still disembarking in an orderly fashion, though there weren’t many left.
If Zhang Hao had said that earlier, He Qianhui would definitely have covered his mouth.
"All you do is talk nonsense here. You have an external outlet pipe yourself."
He Qianhui retorted, got up, took her suitcase from the overhead bin, and followed the other passengers off the plane.
Zhang Hao caught up with her, still unyielding, continuing to argue his point.
"Where do I have any outlet pipe? You just know how to joke about me."
He Qianhui didn’t know what to say, so she hurried off the plane, thinking about having to return to the office soon.
She quickly opened her handbag, took out the contract, and examined it carefully under the sunlight.
Ensuring that the last page was signed and stamped by both parties, she finally felt relieved.
"You rested well last night, and now we’ve come back early. Why don’t you head back to the hospital first? When I’ve handled things here, I can go back by myself," she said.
Zhang Hao shook his head and replied, "How could that be okay?"
