"Lame!" Little Xu Xiaoya rolled her eyes at Wang Xiaoqiang, "Believe it or not, I will tell Little Fang..."

Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't even replied when Little Bai started squirming in Xu Xiaoya's hands and began squealing at her in an aggressive manner, looking quite ferocious. Frightened, Xu Xiaoya's hands trembled and she immediately let go of Little Bai.

Little Bai returned to Wang Xiaoqiang's embrace, its eyes full of hostility, staring at Xu Xiaoya.

"See? Your behavior has made Little Bai very angry..." Wang Xiaoqiang said smugly.

"What? It…" Xu Xiaoya was extremely surprised, "It can understand what I say?"

"You are underestimating it. It doesn't only understand what you say but also gets the implication of your words… If it's anything disadvantageous to me, it will react with hostility…"

"Ah, that's too amazing... Little Qiang, let me take it home to keep for a few days…" After hearing what Wang Xiaoqiang said, Little Xu Xiaoya fell in love and felt a strong desire to possess Little Bai.

But before Wang Xiaoqiang could respond, Little Bai started squealing loudly at Xu Xiaoya again, looking extremely irritated.

"You see, it doesn't want to go with you," Wang Xiaoqiang said proudly. "There once was someone who tried to bribe it with tasty treats and it wouldn't budge, not to mention you've come empty-handed…"

Wang Xiaoqiang was referring to Mikoer.

"Sigh, I really want to have such a cute little creature to play with and cheer up when I'm bored…" Xu Xiaoya said wistfully.

"It's not 'play,' but 'coax,' you must coax it like you would a girl, show it respect, and then it will bring you joy…" Wang Xiaoqiang corrected her.

"Right, you make sense. No wonder it's so attached to you," Xu Xiaoya said, "Hey, Little Qiang, I suspect it has taken you for its boyfriend… Giggle…"

"Little Bai, go bite her…" Wang Xiaoqiang let Little Bai go.

Xu Xiaoya didn't wait for Little Bai to come bite her; she already ran away laughing.

That night, Wang Xiaoqiang told Xia Guifang about hiring Xu Xiaoya as the company's hygienist. Upon hearing this, Xia Guifang felt a tinge of jealousy, "It's a good thing, but, our company is quickly becoming a Kingdom of Women…"

"Then how about calling off Little Ya's offer…"

"The offer has already been made, why bother now? Besides, Little Ya has it tough too… Let it be…"

"Yi, wife, I've noticed that your heart has grown much bigger…" he said with a laugh.

"Go away! You scoundrel, what are you up to now?" Xia Guifang pulled up the blanket to cover herself.

The two of them were young and would make love several times a night, which helped them sleep. The next day, they wouldn't feel tired but instead refreshed, especially Xia Guifang, whose cheeks would glow like a newlywed bride. So embarrassed was she that she had to let her long hair down each day to hide her face when going out.

The following day, Xia Guifang went to work with flushed cheeks, while Wang Xiaoqiang got up, ate the pork buns his sister-in-law made, then strolled leisurely, roaming about. In the afternoon, he received a call from Huang Kunlun saying he was almost at Sanmiao Village.

After getting the message, Wang Xiaoqiang went straight to the roadside at the entrance of the village to wait, also worrying that Huang Kunlun might not find the place.

Wang Xiaoqiang had just arrived at the roadside of the village entrance when a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove by.

Seeing the luxurious car from afar, Wang Xiaoqiang was certain that Huang Kunlun was inside. In Sanmiao Village, even a BMW was considered extremely impressive, let alone a Rolls-Royce, which had never been seen before; suddenly seeing such a car, anyone would guess that the person inside was definitely a tycoon!

Indeed, the car stopped at the village entrance, and the car door slowly opened. The driver poked his head out and asked, "Hey, young man, this is Sanmiao Village, right?"

"Yes, may I ask who you are looking for?"

"We're looking for someone named Wang Xiaoqiang."

"Uh, that would be me," Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Ah, I apologize then," the driver immediately relayed, "President Huang, Mr. Wang has come to meet you…"

No sooner had he finished speaking than another car door was opened, and a man in his fifties with a large slick back hairdo stepped out, followed by a young man in black, his eyes shining brightly as he took a good look at Wang Xiaoqiang.

The middle-aged man immediately reached out both hands toward Wang Xiaoqiang, "Haha, Mr. Wang… Hello, I'm truly sorry for the trouble of you having to come out to meet us…"

"Uh, Mr. Huang, I suppose? I was worried you might not be able to find the place..." Wang Xiaoqiang said indifferently, glancing at the black-clad man behind Huang Kunlun. He figured this must be Huang Kunlun's bodyguard; someone as rich as Huang Kunlun would surely have a bodyguard when traveling, especially to such an unfamiliar and remote place.

"Yes, yes, I am Huang Kunlun," Huang Kunlun replied with a smile.

Huang Kunlun had gotten out of the car, but his driver didn't, which somewhat surprised Wang Xiaoqiang. In reality, it was one of Huang Kunlun's security measures. If someone were to attempt an assassination on Huang Kunlun then, all he needed to do was to get into the car, and it would speed away, saving precious time in the process.

"How about Mr. Huang gets in the car, and I'll lead the way?" Wang Xiaoqiang suggested.

"Yes, yes, let's get in, come on..." Huang Kunlun courteously gestured Wang Xiaoqiang towards the back of the car.

However, Wang Xiaoqiang climbed into the passenger seat instead. "No need to be polite, Mr. Huang, it's more convenient for me to guide you from here..."

Huang Kunlun, seeing this, didn't say anything further; he shot Wang Xiaoqiang an inadvertent glance, thinking despite his youth, the man had a keen mind and was thorough in his actions.

Huang Kunlun never rode in the same car compartment with strangers. His earlier invitation was merely out of courtesy. If Wang Xiaoqiang had sat in the back, Huang Kunlun would have taken the passenger seat. This was his method of playing safe, after all, as a person with significant influence in Hong Kong and beyond, a philanthropist publicly—but to some who opposed his interests—a villain. He could not afford to be complacent against the constant threat of assassination.

Guided by Wang Xiaoqiang, the Rolls-Royce Phantom passed through Sanmiao Village and eventually arrived at Wang Xiaoqiang's villa.

As it drove through the village, the Rolls-Royce's vast and luxurious body attracted many villagers' attention. Even some children followed the car, prompting Wang Xiaoqiang to buy candies at the supermarket to distribute to them, then instructing the little ones not to chase anymore. Delighted with the candies, the children stopped.

Wang Xiaoqiang's actions earned him yet another impressed glance from Huang Kunlun.

Upon arrival at the villa, Huang Kunlun thought even more highly of Wang Xiaoqiang when he realized that, although Wang Xiaoqiang lived in the countryside, his residence was luxurious.

Leaving the driver outside, Huang Kunlun went into the villa, escorted by his bodyguard.

In the villa's living room, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't waste time on formalities; after offering a cigarette, he got straight to the point, "Mr. Huang, you've come here to buy back the ancient sword passed down through your family, right?"

"Yes, that's correct. That sword has been passed down in my family since the Warring States Era until it was lost during my grandfather's generation. My grandfather took it very hard and couldn't rest in peace. He charged my father with the task of finding it back. As my father grew older, he passed the responsibility to me. I regularly check auction news online in both Macau and Hong Kong. Yesterday, I saw online that you bought the sword at Baoyuan Auction House, so, Mr. Wang, please fulfill my wish... let me take the sword home to pay tribute to my grandfather in heaven..."

"No problem, but I need to make one thing clear. I acquired the broken sword, but I've already repaired it, so about the price..."

"Please be assured, Mr. Wang, if the sword is skillfully repaired, I will surely reward you handsomely..." Huang Kunlun sincerely said.

"Alright," Wang Xiaoqiang said, and went back to get the ancient bronze sword. He placed it in front of Huang Kunlun and opened the wooden case where the sword was kept.

The moment Huang Kunlun caught sight of the ancient bronze sword inside the wooden case, he was first thrilled, then surprised and overjoyed to see that the sword was whole and not broken. He couldn't help but ask Wang Xiaoqiang, "May I hold it in my hands to have a look..."

"Of course."

With Wang Xiaoqiang's permission, Huang Kunlun eagerly picked up the ancient sword from the wooden case and stroked the blade. There was no sign of any breakage. He hurriedly examined the hilt, and upon seeing a tiny ancient character for "Huang", he became so excited that he trembled all over, and this wealthy businessman began to tear up uncontrollably.

This stunned both Wang Xiaoqiang and Huang Kunlun's bodyguard in attendance. While Wang Xiaoqiang was relatively unmoved, the bodyguard, having followed Huang Kunlun for over a decade and being inseparable from him, had never seen Huang shed a single tear regardless of the people or situations encountered. It was clear just how important this sword was to him and the Huang family!

"Mr. Wang, how did you manage to repair the sword?" Despite feeling it might be impertinent to ask, Huang Kunlun couldn't help himself.

"Uh, it's a kind of high-tech technique. I asked a friend of mine to repair it, so I don't really understand the specifics," Wang Xiaoqiang replied.

"Mm..." Huang Kunlun could tell Wang Xiaoqiang was being modest. Although it was possible to repair the sword with technology, to do so without leaving a trace seemed unlikely. Wang Xiaoqiang was no ordinary individual, and although curiously interested, Huang Kunlun knew to be tactful and did not inquire further.

After carefully placing the sword back into its wooden case, Huang Kunlun looked up and said directly, "The sword is excellently repaired; it has surpassed my expectations. This is a great favor to my Huang family. Mr. Wang, please name your price."

"Well, how about we go with the price you mentioned yesterday..." Seeing that the sword belonged to someone else's ancestors, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't want to take advantage of the situation, so he casually replied.

Huang Kunlun was relieved to see Wang Xiaoqiang didn't seize the opportunity to gouge him and said, "I'll add another sixty million to that offer..."

Wang Xiaoqiang waved it off, "There's no need."

"Consider this sixty million as a way to establish our friendship," Huang Kunlun said.

"I too enjoy making friends, so if you insist like that, then I'll gladly accept the sixty million... haha..." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed.

"Good, from now on, we are friends," Huang Kunlun wasn't foolish; he realized that with the financial capability to purchase this sword and the skill to repair it, Wang Xiaoqiang was a man of substantial means and extraordinary abilities. It was indeed worth investing a few tens of millions to befriend him. He then took out a business card and handed it over, "This is my business card. If you ever visit Hong Kong, give me a call, and I will ensure you're warmly accommodated. Also, I have many businesses in Macau, so if Mr. Wang feels like playing a few hands there, feel free to call me..." (To be continued.
