Chapter 1278: The Baby Feels Bitter Inside

The document was specifically made for her situation. The person behind it is truly malicious, knowing full well that Qian is pregnant and her emotions are prone to instability, then exploiting the tension of Qio Yu Xuan leaving her, along with this brainwashing document, to gradually feed her negative psychological suggestions.

If it hadn’t been for Yu Minglang, Qian might have continued in this emotional state, and the consequences would have been severe. Whether the child would be affected is unknown, but the harm to the mother would certainly be significant.

At this moment, Qian felt both fearful and thankful. The more she thought about it while touching her abdomen, the more she realized how dangerous the situation was.

If she hadn’t married a man whose intuition and intelligence were both remarkable, wouldn’t she be letting herself be exploited?

The person behind the plot was truly beyond imagination!

“Thank you, if it weren’t for you—”

He placed a finger on her lips and shook his head.

There’s no need to thank each other between husband and wife.

“I feel ashamed of my ignorance, I almost put my own child in danger! How terrible!”

The more Qian thought about it, the angrier she got. Had she become foolish because of pregnancy, falling prey to this scheme? Was her intelligence waning?

“Don’t say that, nobody is perfect. If someone is targeting you, how can you prevent it? Besides, we’ve never heard of such a thing before, how can it be your fault?”

Even if Qian wasn’t pregnant, in her full strength, encountering such a thing, she might not have reacted in time. From an outsider’s perspective, things always seem simple, but once you are in the situation yourself, even someone at Mr Liu’s level might fall for it.

Moreover, the most venomous part of this plan is that, if Qian’s mood was abnormal, she would quickly adjust, but the timing was chosen precisely when Qio Yu Xuan’s life and death were unknown. Even if Qian felt depressed, she and those around her would attribute it to excessive worry causing normal despondency. By the time it’s discovered, it’s already too late.

Fortunately, she has a strong man who looks at her as his life.

One person’s ability is limited; as they say, a single tree doesn’t make a forest. At the critical moment when Qian’s emotions showed vulnerability, Yu Minglang stepped forward to help Qian decode the enigma of her emotions.

Knowing that the emotional imbalance was due to certain reasons makes it easier to handle. As long as she avoids that document and adjusts her emotions, Qian quickly emerged from the inexplicable depression.

Now she’s back to normal, but the mystery left for her and Yu Minglang is still unsolved.

What exactly is going on with this document? Was it a deliberate test by Qio Yu Xuan, or did someone alter it to harm Qian? Nobody knows.

Yu Minglang leans towards the latter, because he had someone conduct an experiment, proving that this thing could trap many people. If left unchecked, allowing Qian to continue to immerse herself in it, things could get out of hand.

So when Qian wanted to look at the document again after coming home, Yu Minglang desperately tried to stop her.

“Why do you want to look at such a harmful thing?”

“Don’t worry this time, I’m psychologically prepared now, this won’t trap me. I have a question in my heart I want to resolve…”

With Yu Minglang accompanying her, Qian opened the hard drive again, and Yu Minglang treated it like a formidable foe, ready at any moment to unplug the power.

As soon as Qian feels even a bit uncomfortable, he would instantly unplug it and never let her see it again.

This time, Qian used the method of skimming ten lines at once, reading roughly over 20 pieces, when she suddenly frowned.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Minglang quickly placed his hand on the power source, should he unplug it?

“Look here, from this point on, it starts explaining the case studies of the previous section. Is this a slap followed by a sweet date?”

“What do you mean?” Yu Minglang didn’t understand.

“I’ll use a more vivid metaphor. If the earlier parts were poison, this section is the antidote, meaning if I can scrape through those 20 pages and review, I’d notice the issues in the preceding part myself.”

This leaves it unexplained whether there was any subjective malice in creating this.

Qian was guessing if it was an assignment left by Qio Yu Xuan, and Yu Minglang had the same thought.

The two pondered for a moment and simultaneously spoke.

“It’s not his doing!”

They truly were a couple, showing such remarkable rapport, Yu Minglang gestured for Qian to speak first.

“Firstly, he left in such a hurry, he didn’t have time to prepare such a thing to mess with me. Although his personality is generally very casual, often joking, he definitely wouldn’t be tactless enough to make such jokes during my pregnancy.”

Meticulously arranging academic materials like this takes considerable time, Qian estimated it would take about half a month to fully digest the antidote section, and considering Qio Yu Xuan’s spoiling behavior towards Qian, it’s unlikely he would let her engage in such risky activities during pregnancy.

Undeniably, such a teaching method leaves a profound impression; after going through this cycle, it guarantees that applying this knowledge later won’t be a problem, but it’s clearly quite morally dubious; Qio Yu Xuan wouldn’t stoop to that level.

“Was it that nuisance Nong Yao who did it?” Yu Minglang thought the most likely suspect would be that master manipulator.

After all, the item was brought by him, and he personally isn’t very friendly towards Qian.

“Hard to say, I’ll examine it more closely.” Qian said and continued researching, Yu Minglang, worried she’d delve dangerously deep, yet not wanting to interrupt her train of thought, paced anxiously within the room.

Qian spent a long time reading, feeling a mysterious sensation she couldn’t articulate.

“Have you come to any conclusions?” Yu Minglang asked, breaking the long silence.

“It feels a bit like Dream of the Red Chamber…”

“What?” Could examining case studies relate to Dream of the Red Chamber?

Qian nodded, indeed it felt like that.

Yu Minglang was silent for a few seconds, then began undressing; Qian was confused.

“Are you hot?”

“Not at all, didn’t you want this?”

A second later, an enlightened Qian grabbed a tissue box and threw it at his face, blushing furiously.

“Yu Minglang! What’s going on in your mind? To you a classic is just about those, those things!!”

Even Xiaoqiang felt aggrieved, deep in his heart he was bitter!

These two academic elites, whenever they engaged in things with a romantic hue, used various code words, like Yuan Qu, old poems, Dream of the Red Chamber, and so forth, causing Yu Minglang now to reflexively think about that certain activity upon hearing them.

“I read in a book that during the second trimester of pregnancy, demand is indeed quite high. Are you tired, do you want to relax a bit?”

Come, embrace the little brother’s arms~

Predictably, he suffered domestic violence from Qian, who directly punched him twice and tossed clothes onto his head.

“Who mentioned Dream of the Red Chamber in that way! I was talking about a feeling, do you understand?”

Yu Minglang’s thoughts couldn’t escape; they lingered on that matter where both felt good. As soon as she mentioned a feeling, he was quick to glance down, leaving Qian speechless in frustration.

“Who asked you about that feeling!”

Even Xiaoqiang felt more innocent.

Looking at his uninhibited face bare-chested, Qian felt both exasperated and amused.
