The two caretakers were giving Jiang Muxue a massage together.
Qin Yang’s eyes fell on Jiang Muxue’s abdomen.
Her nutritional intake was strictly controlled by a nutritionist, so she hadn’t gained weight, but her belly had still grown considerably.
After all, the baby inside her was already six or seven months old.
“Mr. Qin, we give Miss Jiang a massage three times a day, twenty minutes each time.”
“We also turn her over every two hours to prevent pressure sores.”
One of the caretakers explained this to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang nodded.
“Since Uncle Jiang hired you, I believe you’re professionals in these areas.”
“Could you teach me?”
“That way, I can also help Muxue with her massage in the future.”
The two caretakers nodded.
They carefully began teaching him.
Qin Yang had a photographic memory, so he learned extremely quickly.
After the two caretakers demonstrated everything once, he had already grasped most of it.
“Mr. Qin, we’ll head out first.”
After finishing the massage, the two caretakers left the room.
Qin Yang gently placed his hand on Jiang Muxue’s belly, and carefully extended his spiritual power into her abdomen.
Soon, Qin Yang sensed the little life inside.
He could tell that the baby’s spiritual power was connected to his own.
“It’s definitely my daughter.”
Qin Yang quickly reached that conclusion.
Medical examinations could potentially be wrong, but his judgment through spiritual power could not be mistaken.
Qin Yang looked at Jiang Muxue.
His gaze had become much gentler than before.
Although what had happened between him and Jiang Muxue had originally been an accident, Jiang Muxue was now carrying his child.
“Muxue, do you know?”
“You’ve been pregnant for six and a half months.”
Qin Yang communicated with Jiang Muxue using his spiritual power.
[Emotion Value +12]
“You’ve been in a vegetative state for five months. The doctors said your chances of recovery are very low, but I can communicate with you. I believe you’ll definitely recover eventually.”
[Emotion Value +9]
“Let me tell you a story.”
Qin Yang began telling her a ghost story in a deep voice.
He had a photographic memory and clearly remembered every ghost story he had ever read.
[Emotion Value +3]
[Emotion Value +1]
Jiang Muxue contributed a little emotion value every so often.
—If Jiang Muxue could speak at this moment, she would definitely be complaining furiously.
Of all things, why did he have to tell her a ghost story?
“Good girl, Daddy will tell you a story too.”
Qin Yang reached out and gently stroked Jiang Muxue’s belly.
A fetus already had hearing by around four months, and the little one inside Jiang Muxue was already more than six months old.
Qin Yang slowly began telling the baby a story.
At the same time, he used his spiritual power to communicate with the baby.
Through spiritual communication, the child could clearly understand what he was saying.
Soon, Qin Yang sensed a joyful spiritual fluctuation.
Unfortunately, this did not generate any emotion value.
After lunch, Liang Lan called him.
She first asked about Jiang Muxue’s condition.
Liang Lan said, “Xiao Qin, there’s something you need to be careful about. Now that you’ve married Muxue, there may be some people who will make things difficult for you.”
“I understand.”
Qin Yang knew that although Jiang Muxue was in a vegetative state, if the Jiang family announced that they were looking for a son-in-law, the line of people willing to marry into the family would probably stretch endlessly.
It was simple—the Jiang family was extremely wealthy.
The Jiang family had assets worth hundreds of billions, and Jiang Muxue was their only daughter.
There were countless people eyeing the Jiang family’s wealth.
The main reason he had managed to get ahead of everyone else was because someone important had helped him.
—Jiang Muxue was carrying his child.
“The news of your marriage may spread very soon. If anyone gives you trouble, you don’t need to be afraid. Call me anytime. Your Uncle Jiang and I will support you.”
Liang Lan’s words brought a faint smile to Qin Yang’s face.
Jiang Wancheng and Liang Lan were actually quite good people.
Despite the Jiang family’s enormous wealth, they had never treated him arrogantly.
They had not even asked him to become a live-in son-in-law.
“Aunt Liang, thank you.”
Liang Lan smiled.
“There’s no need to thank me. We’re family now. Just take good care of Muxue.”
“As long as Muxue recovers, we’ll immediately transfer one hundred million yuan to you.”
“By the way, get yourself prepared over the next few days.”
“Your Uncle Jiang and I are going to arrange a few tables of guests and formally introduce you to some people.”
Qin Yang was surprised.
“Didn’t you say we weren’t going to hold a wedding banquet?”
Liang Lan replied, “This isn’t really a wedding banquet. We’re simply going to formally introduce you as the Jiang family’s son-in-law to some people.”
“As for the wedding itself, we’ll publicly announce that it has been postponed.”
“Okay.”
He needed to hurry up and improve his strength.
He also needed to properly develop his spiritual power.
After leaving the residential complex, Qin Yang found a hardware store.
He bought several bags of steel balls in various sizes.
The smallest steel balls were only three millimeters in diameter, while the largest were eight millimeters.
“Boss, give me ten boxes of these blades too.”
Qin Yang picked up a box containing thin blades.
If he encountered enemies, steel balls could be used for long-range attacks.
In close combat, however, controlling the blades with his spiritual power would provide greater lethality.
“Sure.”
The shopkeeper packed everything into a large sack.
After taking a taxi home, Qin Yang carried the sack into the gym.
“Store!”
Qin Yang placed the steel balls and blades into his system space.
There were an enormous number of steel balls of various sizes—more than enough for Qin Yang’s training and future use.
“Let’s try them out first.”
A tiny steel ball appeared in Qin Yang’s hand.
Using his spiritual power, he accelerated the steel ball continuously.
The tiny steel ball instantly reached a speed of more than five hundred meters per second.
That was even faster than a bullet fired from an ordinary handgun!
“Whoosh!”
A second steel ball was quickly launched.
This one was slightly larger, so it moved more slowly.
Its range was inferior to the first, but its power was greater.
“Steel balls really are much more useful than coins.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Qin Yang’s face.
Soon, Qin Yang took out another tiny steel ball.
First, he made the steel ball fly more than ten meters behind him.
Under the control of his spiritual power, the steel ball began accelerating from behind.
After accelerating for more than thirty meters, he finally released it.
“Whoosh!”
The steel ball shot forward at tremendous speed.
Its speed reached more than six hundred meters per second.
“That’s about one hundred meters per second faster.”
Qin Yang thought to himself.
The acceleration distance had increased by seventy or eighty percent, but the steel ball’s speed had increased by less than twenty percent.
In actual combat, this method wasn’t particularly useful.
He might as well fire more steel balls directly from his hand.
The steel balls launched directly from his hand already had more than enough power.
