Chapter 495: Chapter 497: The Taste Changed
Qin Hao still transferred the money to her, “Take it, what’s mine is yours. You don’t feel comfortable spending it?”
Xia Qing quickly explained, “No, that’s not what I meant.”
Qin Hao said with a smile, “I know what you’re thinking. I’m not giving you this money for that reason. I just want you to have a better life, eat what you want to eat, and buy what you want to buy.”
“Hmm.” Xia Qing nodded lightly.
At that moment, Leng Xuan’s phone call came through; the investigation had been cleared up.
Those people were instigated by someone, and the instigator was Zhang Feng, a well-known figure in the Jianghai underworld.
...
Zhang Feng was a fan of Xia Qing. Xia Qing’s beautiful facial features and attractive figure greatly appealed to him, so he wanted to use some tactics to win her over.
Qin Hao had Leng Xuan take care of the matter, and Zhang Feng ended up spending his future in a wheelchair.
Qin Hao and Xia Qing fell asleep in each other’s arms.
At six o’clock in the evening, Xia Qing woke up first and saw Qin Hao still deep in sleep. She lay on her side quietly watching him.
After a while, seeing no signs of Qin Hao waking up, she spoke up, “Wake up, it’s already dark.”
Qin Hao opened his eyes groggily, “What time is it?”
Xia Qing replied, “It’s after six, don’t you have a gathering? Get up quickly, otherwise you’ll be late.”
Qin Hao got out of bed and washed up. Upon returning, he saw Xia Qing still lying in bed and paused, “Why aren’t you getting up?”
Xia Qing said, “I’m not going.”
Now, Qin Hao was a public figure, a top celebrity with over a hundred million fans at Wei Yan. She feared that going out with Qin Hao might bring him unnecessary trouble.
Qin Hao could guess what she was thinking, walked over to the bed, and gave her a kiss, “Xiao Qing, you’re not some mistress or anything like that in my heart.
You are my girlfriend. Going out shopping and eating together are rights you deserve. Get up quickly, or hubby might spank your bum.”
Seeing Xia Qing not moving, Qin Hao lifted the blanket and then playfully spanked her.
“Stop hitting, I’m getting up.”
“Annoying, bad guy, you’re bullying me.”
Qin Hao said, “Not at all, I’m not even using any strength. Hurry up, I’ll make a call to my parents.”
He stepped out of the room and called his dad to say he wouldn’t be able to return home that night as he had some matters to attend to.
Mr. Qin didn’t ask many questions. His son was all grown up and had his own opinions and ideas.
After hanging up, Qin Youguo told his family and Miao Jianyun at home, “The kid said he’s not coming back tonight.”
Miao Jianyun felt a bit of regret; he would be leaving tomorrow.
He said with a smile, “It’s okay, we live so close. When I have time, I’ll have Xiao Jing come over often.”
…
About half an hour later, Xia Qing got ready, dressing in a long dress with flesh-colored stockings underneath.
Now in January, the highest temperature in Jianghai was only in the teens, and at night it generally dropped to around six or seven degrees.
“Aren’t you cold dressed like that?” Qin Hao asked her.
“Not cold, I have stockings on,” Xia Qing said with a smile.
After getting ready, the two left the house. The elevator was out of service and being repaired. Xia Qing was somewhat speechless, “This complex just doesn’t work; it’s broken down several times already.”
Qin Hao laughed it off, “No worries, I’ll carry you down.”
Xia Qing said, “No need, it’s too high, it will be very tiring for you.”
Qin Hao crouched in front of her, “It’s okay, hubby is strong, come on up.”
Xia Qing couldn’t refuse him, and deep down, she was also a bit moved, then slowly climbed onto Qin Hao’s back.
Qin Hao carried her downstairs, walking effortlessly, and they reached the lobby in no time.
Downstairs, Leng Xuan saw Qin Hao coming and hurriedly opened the car door.
Xia Qing’s cheeks were flushed and she felt sweet inside, her head resting on Qin Hao’s back, not daring to look at Leng Xuan and the others.
After getting into the car, Qin Hao and Xia Qing sat in the back. Qin Hao said to Leng Xuan, “Go to the Garden Restaurant on Huayuan Road.”
As they were almost there, Fatso called, “Has Brother arrived yet?”
“We are almost there,” Qin Hao replied.
A few minutes later, after hanging up the phone, their convoy arrived outside the Garden Restaurant; getting out, Qin Hao glanced at Xia Qing and took her hand as they walked into the restaurant.
Fatso had reserved a private room on the third floor, Room 301.
Inside the room sat four people, Fatso and Zhao De, each with a young beauty beside them.
The beauty next to Zhao De was no longer Xu Lu; this woman was equally beautiful, no less than Xu Lu.
“Brother has arrived,” Fatso and the others quickly stood up.
“Is this Sister-in-law?” Fatso, seeing Qin Hao holding Xia Qing’s hand, was stunned.
Qin Hao nodded and took a seat with Xia Qing: “Looks like you two are doing quite well, eh? Why isn’t Chen Ping here?”
Fatso said, “Brother, you should mention it, Chen Ping is still at your company working on something. He said he couldn’t make it, now he’s just a workaholic.”
Qin Hao gave a wry smile, “This guy, always working overtime, how is that going to work?”
“Who’s going to take care of his cousin!”
Fatso quickly said, “Brother, this is my girlfriend, Da Mei, isn’t she beautiful?”
“Mr. Qin, hello,” Da Mei said respectfully.
Qin Hao smiled and nodded, “No need to be so formal, just call me Brother like Fatso does.”
Zhao De also introduced, “Brother, this is my girlfriend Xiao Yun, she’s an assistant for our city’s basketball team.”
Xiao Yun didn’t initiate a conversation with Qin Hao but acted aloof, thinking it would make her more appealing to him.
Zhao De, seeing that she didn’t greet him, felt a bit embarrassed but didn’t dare say anything.
Since in the city basketball team, his girlfriend held a significant position.
Qin Hao didn’t say anything, and didn’t even glance at Xiao Yun, too pretentious.
Soon the dishes were served, and the meal tasted different to Qin Hao, lacking the feeling it had in the beginning.
Although everyone was talking and laughing, appearing harmonious, Zhao De’s smile had changed a lot, and so had the aloofness of Xiao Yun beside him, trying to capture his attention, such a woman might not be anything good.
Moreover, he also noticed that Fatso and Zhao De seemed to have some misgivings; the two barely spoke.
After the meal, everyone left.
As Qin Hao sat in the car and watched Zhao De get into Xiao Yun’s black Volkswagen sedan, he said, “Let’s go.”
On the road, he called Fatso, “How did Zhao De and his former girlfriend Xu Lu break up?”
Fatso said, “Hao, it’s a long story. After Zhao De joined the city basketball team, he met Xiao Yun, who has a lot of pull on the team.
They started seeing each other, and he abandoned Xu Lu. Later, Xu Lu found out she was pregnant. I also heard this from Xu Lu, it’s roughly like this.”
“Okay, I understand,” Qin Hao hung up the phone, feeling that Fatso hadn’t told him the whole truth, there was something he didn’t know about.
