Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic

Chapter 516 - 239: Is This Tacit Approval?

After returning to the clinic, he listed the equipment he needed to purchase, checking their prices and functions online one by one.

The last time he bought that antiquated X-ray machine really gave him a hard time.

Every time he used it, he would curse.

This time, he had to learn from his mistakes.

Picking up someone else’s old equipment can’t just be about saving money; you also have to consider its usability.

While busy with this, his phone received another message.

This time, it was from Ou Qinglan.

Their relationship was heating up, and they had become very close.

"Dear, I’m about to get off work. Will you come pick me up?"

"Sure!"

Li Jingsheng replied with a simple word, quickly set aside his tasks, turned off the lights, locked the door, and left the clinic, taking a cab directly to the Second Hospital.

If your girlfriend is pretty, you definitely have to keep an eye on her.

Especially at night, there are too many wolves around.

Soon, Li Jingsheng arrived at the Second Hospital, and just as he got out of the cab, he saw Ou Qinglan waiting for him at the hospital entrance.

This girl is really getting better and better at dressing up.

She wore light blue short denim shorts, her long and beautiful legs were on display. Her upper body was covered with a white T-shirt, and she wore white sneakers.

She was actually quite tall; even without wearing heels, she still looked tall and slender.

It’s said that women dress to impress those they care about; since dating Li Jingsheng, she seemed to be getting more skilled at dressing up.

She was already quite beautiful, but now she dressed so attractively, which made him a bit worried that other men might try to steal her away.

Li Jingsheng had to become constantly stronger.

Economic stability comes first.

Many couples eventually break up because of financial issues.

To put it bluntly, it’s because the man doesn’t earn enough, the woman wants a better life, and when there’s no hope, fierce conflicts naturally arise.

"Qinglan!"

Li Jingsheng hurriedly ran over.

"Haha, you’re pretty fast! Can we walk home together?"

Seeing Li Jingsheng, her face instantly showed a very happy smile.

"When the big wife speaks, of course, there’s no problem!"

"Humph, I haven’t married you yet! When are you planning to propose to me?"

She wrinkled her lovely nose.

She turned her head to look at Li Jingsheng and asked.

"I’ll propose once I’ve made enough money to buy a house, okay? Otherwise, you might just have to live with me at the clinic."

"Living at the clinic sounds pretty good to me! Do you know what makes a home?"

She didn’t care at all that Li Jingsheng didn’t have a house.

Just think about it; with Li Jingsheng’s excellent performance and huge potential, not to mention one house, but even ten houses would be possible.

"Tell me!"

Li Jingsheng wrapped his arm around her waist, and they walked together toward her place.

It was already so late, he certainly couldn’t take her back to the clinic.

"If it’s a child, where their parents are is home. If married, where the couple is together is home."

"I didn’t expect you to have such deep insights into life! Give me a bit more time, maybe one or two years, and I’ll buy a big house to marry you in grand style."

Li Jingsheng was soon to be thirty, and he certainly wanted to get married too.

Whenever he returned home for the New Year, he didn’t even dare visit relatives; they either asked about his annual income or whether he had found a girlfriend.

"Even a small house would do! Big houses need a lot of money for decoration."

She was now entirely in a love-struck mindset.

What girl doesn’t want to live in a big house? She was willing to live in a small house just to get married sooner.

"Eager to get married? Has your family been pressuring you?"

Li Jingsheng sensed her urgent desire to get married.

"Not really!"

She lowered her head and fell silent for a moment.

It’s the same for men and women; when they reach a certain age, their parents start urging them to marry.

"You’re not even that old yet! It’s surprising your family is pressuring you. I’m about to be thirty, and I don’t even dare go home for the New Year now. This year might be a little better; I won’t have to slouch when I return home, since I have a girlfriend now."

Li Jingsheng said laughingly.

"Haha, let people say whatever they want! Even if you slouch, they’ll still talk about you."

...

They talked all the way, from marriage to work and some amusing anecdotes from life.

Having someone by his side felt really good.

Li Jingsheng deeply enjoyed every moment with her.

Before he knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of her residential complex. From a distance, they could see a rugged off-road vehicle parked on the open space at the corner.

Kind of looked like a Wrangler.

This car wasn’t cheap.

As Ou Qinglan and Li Jingsheng walked over, the car’s lights flashed, and someone honked the horn.

Ou Qinglan turned to look, and when she saw the car, her expression changed slightly.

She quickly freed herself from Li Jingsheng’s embrace.

"Looks like it’s my family who’s come over."

She nervously reminded him in a small voice.

Hearing that the girl’s parents were there, Li Jingsheng felt a bit nervous too.

He followed Ou Qinglan as she walked over.

Meeting the parents now wasn’t ideal timing, but since they couldn’t just turn around and leave.

His intention was to earn more money, make the clinic more stable, and then meet her parents to propose.

As a man, he had his pride.

Her family was rich. He had to be strong enough to make the proposal confidently.

Otherwise, it would look like he was trying to latch on.

If her family didn’t care about the guy’s financial situation, it would be fine, but if they demanded equal status, it would hurt the man’s self-esteem, and the marriage would likely be called off.

The car window was rolled down, and a middle-aged man about fifty with a bearded face was sitting in the driver’s seat.
