“Uncle Jiang, I’ve already told my parents. They want to come visit Muxue tomorrow. Do you want to meet them?” Qin Yang asked.
Jiang Wancheng replied, “Xiao Qin, of course we want to meet them. Aren’t we having dinner together tomorrow night? Just bring your parents along.”
“Alright, goodbye, Uncle Jiang.”
After hanging up, one of Jiang Wancheng’s tablemates asked, “President Jiang, I heard a rumor that your daughter, Muxue, got married. Is this Xiao Qin her husband?”
“Yes,” Jiang Wancheng nodded slightly.
“President Jiang, what family is he from?” another big shot at the table asked.
Jiang Wancheng replied, “Xiao Qin isn’t from a prominent family, but he’s a good person. My wife and I both like him. Now, where were we? Let’s get back to our topic.”
The others tactfully dropped the subject.
Qin Yang called his father on video again.
“Dad, I just called Uncle Jiang. Let’s have dinner at his place tomorrow night.”
Qin Hai looked a little nervous.
“Son, is it okay to go straight to the Jiang family’s house?”
Qin Yang replied, “Dad, you should come to my place first. Let’s see Muxue, and then we’ll all go to the Jiang family’s house together.”
“Alright.”
Qin Hai hung up the video call.
Soon, Chen Ping came over from another room.
“Hubby, I think I heard you on a video call with our son?”
“Yes,” Qin Hai said.
“He said he’s having dinner with Muxue’s parents tomorrow.”
Chen Ping also looked a bit nervous.
“Hubby, the Jiang family is so rich. Won’t they look down on us? What if we mess things up for our son and Muxue?”
Qin Hai was silent for a moment before saying, “Don’t overthink it. Our son and Muxue are from two different worlds. It’s only natural if they get divorced in the future.”
Chen Ping nodded slightly.
“That’s true.”
***
Qin Yang arrived at Jiang Muxue’s room.
It was time for his first evening harvest of Emotion Points.
“Mu Xue, Luo Zihong came by this afternoon.”
Qin Yang waited a moment.
Jiang Muxue didn’t provide a single Emotion Point.
Luo Zihong clearly held no weight in her heart.
“I told my parents about our marriage. They’re coming to see you, their future daughter-in-law, tomorrow.”
[Emotion Points 18]
“And tomorrow night, our parents are having dinner together.”
[Emotion Points 15]
Qin Yang said, “If they don’t get along, your parents might even demand we divorce right then and there. So, do you think I should get into bed with you tonight to… *communicate* first?”
[Emotion Points 13]
***
In just a short time, Jiang Muxue’s mental energy was completely drained.
*She really can’t handle much teasing,* Qin Yang thought to himself.
He had no intention of sleeping with Jiang Muxue for the time being.
While a deep and thorough “exchange” with Jiang Muxue would be incredibly pleasurable, it would undoubtedly make earning Emotion Points much more difficult afterward.
If they had already gone that far, it would be hard for him to get Emotion Points from her through simple kisses or hugs, let alone by just talking.
That fleeting pleasure was nothing compared to the satisfaction of increasing his strength.
*System, how many Emotion Points do I have now?* Qin Yang asked in his mind.
“One hundred twenty-two points.”
“But Host, you’ve already drawn three times today.”
***
The next morning arrived in the blink of an eye.
Qin Yang was reading a book to Jiang Muxue.
He knew that earning Emotion Points required a varied approach; he couldn’t always rely on special methods, or it would become much harder to obtain them in the future.
*Knock, knock.*
A knock sounded at the door.
“Come in,” Qin Yang said without looking up.
Liang Lan pushed open the door.
Sunlight spilled over Qin Yang as he leisurely continued reading.
“Xiao Qin.”
Liang Lan called out with a smile.
Qin Yang quickly looked up.
“Aunt Liang.”
“Xiao Qin, I’m afraid Mu Xue can’t hear you,” Liang Lan said sorrowfully, her gaze fixed on Jiang Muxue lying on the bed.
Qin Yang smiled.
“I believe she can. As long as we keep trying, I’m sure Mu Xue will wake up. Aunt Liang, you talk to her for a while. I need to head out for a bit.”
“Wait,” Liang Lan said quickly.
“When will your parents arrive? Are they coming by high-speed rail or plane?”
Qin Yang replied, “They left early this morning. Their high-speed train was at 8:30, and they should be here around two in the afternoon. I’ll head to the station to pick them up after lunch.”
Liang Lan nodded.
“I’ll have my driver bring you to the station at noon.”
“No need, Aunt Liang,” Qin Yang said quickly.
“My parents might feel awkward if the driver comes with us. I’ll just take a taxi to pick them up.”
“Alright then,” Liang Lan nodded slightly.
“Don’t take a regular taxi. Spend a little extra and call a luxury car to pick them up. I’ll have my driver come for you all around five o’clock.”
“Okay.”
Qin Yang nodded and left. The source of this chapter is g.com.
He needed to go out and buy some gifts to bring to the Jiang family tonight.
Liang Lan felt a flicker of doubt.
Qin Yang seemed much more handsome than before.
Was it because he was dressed better now?
“Mu Xue, Mom’s here to see you.”
Liang Lan sat on the edge of the bed and took Jiang Muxue’s hand.
She felt that Jiang Muxue’s complexion seemed to have improved slightly.
“Is it just my imagination?”
Liang Lan studied Jiang Muxue closely.
The electrocardiogram and brain waves showed no changes, but Liang Lan felt that Jiang Muxue’s complexion had indeed improved.
*Qin Yang and Mu Xue have already slept together, and Mu Xue has been nourished, so her complexion has improved?* Liang Lan thought to herself.
She had experienced this firsthand.
If she went too long without being nourished, she would feel irritable.
After being nourished, her mood and complexion would noticeably improve.
Liang Lan was overthinking it.
Qin Yang had not slept with Jiang Muxue yet.
Jiang Muxue’s complexion had improved because her mental strength had partially recovered.
The first time, Qin Yang had only gained 42 Emotion Points.
Now, he could earn over 80 Emotion Points in a single session.
Although the ECG and EEG hadn’t changed yet, the boost in mental energy was definitely benefiting Jiang Muxue.
Half an hour later, the two caregivers arrived in the bedroom.
They were there to give Jiang Muxue a massage.
“Wenyue, has anything unusual happened in the last couple of days?” Liang Lan asked one of the caregivers.
The caregiver, Li Wenyue, replied, “Madam, Luo Zihong from the Luo Group came by yesterday. He spoke with Mr. Qin, but we don’t know what they discussed.”
Liang Lan frowned inwardly.
She could guess what Luo Zihong was after.
“Anything else?”
Li Wenyue thought for a moment.
“When we were giving Miss Jiang her massage, Mr. Qin asked us to teach him how to do it. But we’re not sure if he actually massaged her.”
“That’s all.”
They had already reported Tang Yin’s visit.
Liang Lan said, “Xiao Qin is Mu Xue’s husband. It’s perfectly normal for him to massage her. Don’t come in when he’s in Mu Xue’s room.”
Li Wenyue and the other caregiver nodded.
“Do you feel like Mu Xue’s complexion has improved?” Liang Lan asked.
Li Wenyue and her colleague nodded.
“Madam, we all feel that way.”
Liang Lan’s eyes lit up.
*So it wasn’t just my imagination.*
