On the second day, which was Sunday, considering Xin Xiaoting's request, Shen Qiang woke up early and had to work overti. This left Xin Xiaoting, exhausted and blissful, almost unable to open her eyes while nestled in Shen Qiang's embrace.
Gently embracing her supple waist and gazing at her blushing yet charming face, Shen Qiang couldn't help but tenderly look at her and softly asked, "Are you really sure you want to beco a mother now? Didn't you say before that you wanted to accomplish sothing in the hospital before considering such things?"
Upon hearing this, Xin Xiaoting slightly opened her beautiful eyes and gave Shen Qiang a charming smile, then lazily lay beside him and said gravely, "This month, sixteen patients died at our hospital, and three never made it off the operating table."
"One of them was the sa age as us, which made think that no one's life can be guaranteed without unexpected events, so I want to live recklessly while I still can." With a playful gaze, Xin Xiaoting looked at Shen Qiang and laughed, "Anyhow, nobody can guarantee the future, so we should take care of the present."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang couldn't help but embrace Xin Xiaoting tightly and said, "I've always said, girls shouldn't spend all their ti in the operating room. Do you know where the highest number of deaths occur? The hospital, where everyone tries their utmost to keep their loved ones alive for as long as possible."
"That's why many lives end with their final monts in the hospital. As a girl faced with life and death every day in the operating room, this is too difficult for you."
Xin Xiaoting chuckled and then said, "Honestly, I often think that if you were in the operating room, they might survive."
Looking at Shen Qiang's helpless eyebrows, Xin Xiaoting laughed and said, "But that would waste your talent, because even if you were in the operating room every day, doing surgery every hour, at most, you could save ten people a day, and not even four thousand in a year."
,
"But now, you're outside the operating room, and the new drugs have benefited billions of people, especially the miraculous success of the recent Coronavirus special dication, so I can't think of any reason for you to return to the operating room."
Shen Qiang laughed, "It's good that you understand."
Xin Xiaoting smiled, "I'll be staying here tonight; I need to return to work on Monday morning."
Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Then you have to promise that if you get pregnant, you'll resign and co here."
Xin Xiaoting coyly replied, "I'm not that spoiled."
"But my children surely will be," Shen Qiang laughed.
Xin Xiaoting couldn't help but appear coy, her face slightly reddened, and said, "We'll discuss it then, it might not even happen."
Shen Qiang laughed.
Just then, Shen Qiang's phone rang.
Shen Qiang instinctively didn't want to answer, but after glancing at it, he found that it was Wu Zhaoyang calling. Hence, Shen Qiang answered imdiately without hesitation, understanding that Wu Zhaoyang would not call without sothing important.
Indeed, as soon as the call connected, Wu Zhaoyang's voice ca through from the other end.
"Brother Qiang, are you at the Mountain Villa? I have sothing to discuss with you."
Shen Qiang was slightly surprised, "Speak, I'm listening."
"Hey, can you co to the front of the Mountain Villa? Let's talk in person."
The words piqued Shen Qiang's curiosity, but at the sa ti, from the background noise on the phone, Shen Qiang could clearly hear Lan Yong saying impatiently beside him, "Wu, what are you hesitating for? Just tell Brother Qiang directly, he's wealthy, so this won't bother him."
"Short on cash?" Shen Qiang wondered inexplicably, then smiled and said, "Alright, you two wait for in front of the Mountain Villa; I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the call and giving a kiss to the shy Xin Xiaoting, Shen Qiang got up and walked out, saying, "See you tonight."
Xin Xiaoting shyly nodded.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Shen Qiang walked out of the room, without changing clothes, but still clean and tidy. Ever since he had the Dust Avoidance Pearl, Shen Qiang mysteriously found that his white shirt wouldn't have a trace of dirt even after wearing it all day; it's practically a lazy person's Divine Artifact.
Arriving at the Mountain Villa's front door.
Shen Qiang imdiately saw Wu Zhaoyang holding a long box.
Wu Zhaoyang looked sowhat embarrassed and said, "Brother Qiang, I ca to you this ti because I promised to forge a Magical Treasure for you before. You also gave the materials back then, but, unfortunately, the forging failed."
Shen Qiang froze for a mont, then laughed, because honestly, Shen Qiang didn't lack Magical Treasures, and anything Shen Qiang considered valuable was definitely an Immortal Artifact.
So, even though Ji Liangchuan once said that Wu Zhaoyang could forge a Top Grade Magical Treasure, Shen Qiang didn't take it to heart.
After all, Shen Qiang now has wealth, Elixir Pills, Points, the Dragon Group Comrce, Cheng Xinyi, Wanxin Hesheng, dressed as Ji Liangchuan's Long Chang; if Shen Qiang wants sothing, there seems to be no Magical Treasure that Shen Qiang couldn't obtain.
Thus, if Wu Zhaoyang didn't ntion it, Shen Qiang would have almost forgotten about it.
If Wu Zhaoyang had successfully refined the Magical Treasure and presented it to Shen Qiang, Shen Qiang would still not care, probably just handing it to soone else in passing.
Now hearing that Wu Zhaoyang's refining failed, it aroused Shen Qiang's curiosity instead.
"Failed? Let take a look?"
Wu Zhaoyang responded by handing the long box to Shen Qiang.
Shen Qiang opened it and found that Wu Zhaoyang had forged a straight, long-bladed Tang Saber.
Using the Observation Skill to glance at it, the appraisal result showed it as a Top Grade Magic Artifact, which shocked Shen Qiang, because from this perspective, Wu Zhaoyang's crafting was quite successful, considering that to surpass this would an reaching Immortal Artifact status.
Holding the blade in his hand, concentrating on True Yuan, Shen Qiang lightly swung it.
As silver light burst forth in a flash, Shen Qiang distinctly felt the subtle absorption effect arising from the Sword Light shattering the space.
"Good blade!" exclaid the black dog with a large golden chain at the door excitedly, "Congratulations, boss, on acquiring a beautiful samurai sword!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhaoyang, usually very gentle, imdiately was enraged.
"Shut up, don't speak nonsense if you don't understand! There are four types of Tang Sabers: Yi Sabers, Shield Blades, Horizontal Blades, and Mo Blades. The initial blades passed to samurai were Horizontal Blades, which are this kind of straight blade; they tried to imitate it when it got popular."
"But due to inadequate craftsmanship, their Horizontal Blades were brittle and easily broke. So, they made the blades curved, which made it less likely to break upon slicing, but at the sa ti, with the curvature appearing in the blade, it could no longer penetrate armor like a Horizontal Blade."
This talk left the black dog with a bewildered expression.
But at this mont, Shen Qiang's eyes lit up, stating, "This blade, reaching Top Grade Magic Artifact level, is already a fine piece. Wu Zhaoyang, what are you dissatisfied with?"
Wu Zhaoyang earnestly replied, "Brother Qiang, according to the Wu family's rules, every inheritor can only forge one weapon for soone other than themselves. So, since I was eight years old, I have been striving to forge a Divine Weapon that will shock the Cultivation World."
"Brother Qiang is soone I respect, so I will not allow myself to hand over this failure to you. Therefore, today I am here to ask for so expensive and rare materials to forge for Brother Qiang a unique, extraordinary battle saber."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes filled with excitent imdiately, saying, "Sure, no problem, tell all the materials you need, and I'll help you gather them."
