C174 I Care about You Don't I

As time passed, Liu Lei was immersed in the process of imbuing spiritual energy into the Tears of Angels, ignoring everything else.

When the Tears of Angels's spirit energy reached its peak, he slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at the time, several hours had already passed and it was already past 5 PM.

"This Tears of Angels really has a big appetite. It ate nearly 90% of my spirit energy!"

Liu Lei sensed his empty Dantian and took a deep breath in pain.

It would take him at least a few hours to recover 90% of the spiritual energy.

Spending large amounts of herbs during this period of time was equivalent to the value of nearly a million Chinese dollars.

In other words, it would cost nearly a million Chinese dollars to recharge the Tears of Angels.

However, seeing that the Tears of Angels's defensive power was so high and it was meant for his wife's use, he was not stingy anymore.

He listened to the activity outside the villa, but Xie Yuqing still hadn't come back. This workaholic was probably working overtime again.

Thus, he kept the Tears of Angels back inside the Storage Ring and took out the herbs to refine them to replenish his spirit energy.

There weren't many herbs left now, and after replenishing his spiritual energy, he could probably use it for another two to three days of cultivation.

If that Boss of the Medicine Shop didn't come back within the next two or three days, he would have to call and urge him.

After all, he still had some time, so he needed to cultivate as much as possible every day.

Soon, he once again entered a meditative state, continuously refining the medicinal materials and replenishing the lost spiritual energy.

"..."

When Liu Lei opened his eyes again, it was already around 9 pm. The sky outside the window had already darkened.

However, Xie Yuqing still hadn't returned. This caused him to be puzzled in his heart.

Although the protective spell that had been inserted into her body that morning had no trace of being triggered, he still decided to make a phone call.

Even if they didn't encounter any danger, they might have met with some trouble.

Of course, if it was just working overtime, that would be the best result.

He took out his cell phone and dialed Xie Yuqing's number. It rang for thirty seconds before he finally got through.

"Hello? "Who is it?"

Xie Yuqing sounded exhausted, probably very busy. She answered the phone without even looking at the caller's name.

"Your husband!"

Liu Lei replied with an evil smile.

Xie Yuqing snapped out of her stupor upon hearing the trademark evil smile and the shameless way of addressing herself.

Then, her face turned red and she said embarrassedly, "Why did you call me?"

"Aren't I concerned about you? You're not coming home this late. Did you run into some trouble?"

Liu Lei asked.

"No, I'm just working overtime."2

"Since the project for Qi Tianci's compensation is in place, I want to integrate it into the company as soon as possible."

Xie Yuqing's heart warmed. She used to work overtime at such a late hour, so her parents did not know about it. Therefore, it had become a habit for her to not be cared for by others.

Now that she was being cared for by Liu Lei, she felt her heart warm and comfortable.

"Then, I will indirectly make you work overtime? If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have needed this crappy project. I would have just asked for money directly! "

Liu Lei blamed himself.

"It doesn't matter. Actually, even without this project, I still have a lot of things to do, so it's not your fault."

Xie Yuqing smiled and said, "Moreover, the project is a long-term profit. It is not as simple as just 50 million if you do it well. 100 million is possible."

"With this project, my company will be able to grow a little, and I have to thank you for that."
