Chapter 1279 - 1251: The Passage of Time

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1251: The Passage of Time

Just now, she thought Xiaoqiang looked extremely handsome handling her problems, especially this time, when he cracked the key to her emotional issues, Qian felt he was so reliable.

Unfortunately, some people’s personas never stay impressive for more than three seconds before their tails are bound to show.

"When I mentioned Dream of the Red Chamber, it’s the feeling this document gives me. At first glance, it’s one feeling, but after a few reads, when combining the latter parts, it’s another feeling, and as you continue to read..."

Qian flipped further and found that the remaining parts were basically normal, and should be the original drafts from Qio Yu Xuan after those two parts.

This alone shows this person’s skill in editing.

It’s like a blow, but then they taught her a new skill. Initially, it seemed malicious, but later it didn’t seem like it, a mystery wrapped in a sense of intellectual battle, indistinguishable between enemy and friend.

This feeling is like Dream of the Red Chamber, where everyone perceives it differently; even the same person sees it differently at different ages.

"This kind of thing easily drives people mad. I don’t care about any deep meaning, I just know this thing feels eerie. Don’t look at the rest!"

Yu Minglang didn’t want to go through such an experience again; it was too stimulating, almost giving him a heart attack.

"There’s no problem with the latter parts, the problematic part is just the beginning. I guess the person editing this was rushed for time, couldn’t do much, and only modified this bit."

"That’s still unacceptable! Anyway, don’t touch this stuff before you give birth. Qian, please understand my feelings as your husband. I really don’t want for you to experience such a situation again."

When Yu Minglang is serious, Qian almost never refuses. This was indeed dangerous, and she knew the pros and cons, so she nodded.

After this incident, Qian gradually recovered emotionally. She found that the thrilling experience not only unlocked the skill of gradual textual suggestion but also brought her another benefit.

That was, she no longer worried about Qio Yu Xuan.

Previously, Qian was always concerned about Qio Yu Xuan, but after this, she was at ease.

She firmly believed Qio Yu Xuan would return safely; the person who edited this document must be a close confidant of Qio Yu Xuan.

Whether it’s Nong Yao or other apprentices, their strength proves that with so many exceptional talents gathered, the old wizard Qio Yu Xuan would surely be fine.

With such conviction, Qian resumed her healthy, sunny pregnancy life, a regular routine, and occasionally learned from the notes left to her by Qio Yu Xuan, smoothly passing her graduate final exams, and after receiving her diploma, she easily upgraded her psychologist license to level two.

Within the country, to advance further, one must have a doctoral degree or have graduated with a master’s degree after a certain number of years.

During this time, she lived very contentedly. After that thrilling "depression," Qian found her mindset was more peaceful, with strong stimuli actually benefiting her physical and mental state, greatly enhancing her ability to accept things.

From the incident’s process, it was indeed terrible, but the result was surprisingly positive, as if her body underwent a detox, allowing her to have a stress-free pregnancy in the subsequent months.

She was stable here, and Yu Minglang was always busy.

He started investigating the ancestral grave of Qio Yu Xuan that Mr. Liu mentioned, saying there was indeed a child’s grave, but whether there were bones inside was unknown; anyway, Qio Yu Xuan returned every year.

On the tombstone were the three big characters, "Tomb of Qio Xiangcao," erected by father Qio Yu Xuan.

Digging graves was something Yu Minglang couldn’t do, so what’s inside remains unknown; he hadn’t told Qian about it, and everything was done secretly.

Besides these clues, Yu Minglang also started investigating the mysterious scientific research team Mr. Liu had mentioned, but strangely, even using the Yu Family’s resources, he found no relevant information.

This situation not only didn’t discourage Yu Minglang but made him even more persistent.

Countless battle experiences taught Yu Minglang that the more mysterious things are, the more suspicious.

If one path doesn’t work, then take another.

Yu Minglang remembered Mr. Liu saying he had recruited two doctoral students from the school as assistants back then, one of them being Chang Xiangsi. Chang Xiangsi was from Seven Acres Farm, nothing much to say about that. Yu Minglang wouldn’t be foolish enough to approach her, as that would alert the enemy.

His focus was on the other person; finding that person from back then would make everything else easier.

This is precisely where encountering someone like Yu Minglang made a difference—not only did he have intellect, but also strategy and resources. For others, such investigations would lead nowhere.

Finally, after a month of Yu Minglang’s persistent secret investigation, he received some news.

The doctor who was with Chang Xiangsi was found, but unfortunately, he was already dead.

He died before fifty, reportedly from a sudden heart attack, which made Yu Minglang’s hope tumble into despair.

Was the mystery of Qian’s background going to end in vain?

He didn’t care who Qian was, but he had to know who was orchestrating things behind her back to protect his priceless treasure before they acted.

Having obtained such scant clues, how could Yu Minglang give up?

Thinking of his beloved wife at home, and the child soon to be born, how could he face her wholehearted love without being able to protect his family?

With such a powerful obsession, Yu Minglang continued researching, leaving no clue unnoticed. Although the situation seemed a deadlock, he still refused to give up.

He prepared to visit the deceased doctor’s home, hoping that even though the person died, perhaps some clues remained, or perhaps he mentioned this matter to his family?

Yu Minglang’s intuition told him that the key might lie in the mysterious research team back then!

Yu Minglang had pressing matters, the higher-ups wouldn’t give him leave to personally visit, so he sent his brother’s people, and specially instructed his brother to find an absolute confidant.

Going through all these tasks sounded easy, but they also took a few months, and time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was Qian’s important nine-month pregnancy moment.

This day, Qian’s mom called her for a meal.

Now that Qian was nine months pregnant, Yu Minglang’s work was still busy every day. To prevent accidents, Qian was cared for alternately by Mrs. Yu and her mother, aside from the daily presence of a domestic helper, and at night Yu Minglang returned home, ensuring that there were always two people accompanying her apart from Qian herself.

Today happened to be when the child of Big Brother’s family had a fever, Mrs. Yu stayed to take care of her grandson, so she asked Qian’s mom to come over. Qian’s mom had now moved close, not far from Qian’s house. Qian and Liumei were pregnant for about the same amount of time, Qian was nine months, and Liumei was almost due, and Qian’s mom ran back and forth.

The two old ladies, along with the respective family’s helper, managed to keep things busy.

"Qian’er, eat this porridge, and after that, we’ll take a stroll together."
