After dinner, Qin Yang went to Jiang Muxue’s room and locked the door.
He connected his mental power with Jiang Muxue’s.
“Muxue, your figure is really good.”
“Are you a D-cup?”
[Emotion Points +17]
“If you don’t answer, I’ll just feel for myself.”
[Emotion Points +14]
If Jiang Muxue had been conscious and able to control her eyes, she would definitely have glared fiercely at Qin Yang.
“Muxue, don’t get so emotional. Your parents arranged our marriage mainly because they want me to help you.”
“If I kiss, hug, and touch you every day, maybe you’ll wake up.”
[Emotion Points +11]
Qin Yang swallowed.
Jiang Muxue was exceptionally beautiful and incredibly alluring.
He reached out with one hand and placed it on her body through her clothes.
“Muxue, I’m doing this to treat you.”
“It’s a massage therapy.”
[Emotion Points +9]
[Emotion Points +7]
…
After half a minute, Jiang Muxue’s mental strength was completely exhausted.
In that short while, she had provided Qin Yang with sixty or seventy Emotion Points.
Adding the points he had obtained earlier from reading her ghost stories, Qin Yang now had a total of 123 Emotion Points.
“Muxue, you should be feeling pretty comfortable, right?”
“I feel pretty comfortable too.”
Qin Yang reluctantly withdrew his hand.
It would be better to continue the treatment after she had recovered.
“System, draw a prize. One hundred points!”
Qin Yang said inwardly.
He had only drawn twice today, so he still had one draw remaining.
“Drawing… Congratulations, Host! You have obtained C-rank hacking technology.”
A huge amount of information rapidly flooded Qin Yang’s mind.
With the system’s assistance, he quickly absorbed and mastered it.
“Hacking technology?”
Qin Yang’s eyes lit up.
This was a good thing!
Unfortunately, it was only C-rank.
C-rank hacking technology was basically the limit an ordinary person could reach, although exceptionally talented people could go much further.
“Although it can’t compare with top hackers, it’s still pretty good.”
Qin Yang thought to himself.
His current level wasn’t enough to carry out serious hacking operations, but with this level of knowledge, he understood many hacking principles.
At the very least, he could be much more careful about cybersecurity in his daily life.
For example, when “treating” Jiang Muxue or training in the gym, he could put his phone into his system space.
That way, he wouldn’t have to worry about someone monitoring him.
“Muxue, I’ll come back and treat you later.”
He had already figured out the pattern.
Given Jiang Muxue’s current condition, he could “harvest” Emotion Points from her four times a day at most.
Once in the morning, once in the afternoon, once after dinner, and once again after midnight.
However, sometimes he couldn’t get the full amount.
Jiang Muxue’s mental strength didn’t recover at a fixed rate.
Sometimes it recovered relatively quickly, while other times it was slower.
At present, he could obtain sixty or seventy Emotion Points at most in one session, meaning he could get more than two hundred points over the course of an entire day.
“Whoosh—”
Qin Yang went to the gym to train.
Tiny steel balls flew rapidly around him.
“System, with my current mental strength, how many can I control simultaneously?”
“Four.”
Qin Yang thought to himself that he needed to train harder.
In theory, he could now control a maximum of four steel balls simultaneously, but in practice, he could currently manage only one.
“System, couldn’t you just give me the control skill directly?”
“Host, if you obtained the control ability directly at the same time, you would most likely receive only A-rank mental strength.”
Qin Yang: “Uh… Forget it, then. It’s better to obtain S-rank mental strength. I can train the control ability myself.”
…
In a luxurious villa in the eastern part of Haicheng.
“Dad, why did you call me back?”
A young man returned home, kicked off his shoes, and asked.
“Come over here.”
A middle-aged man sitting on the living-room sofa spoke in a deep voice.
The young man walked over and sat beside his father.
“Dad, what’s with the serious expression?”
The middle-aged man’s name was Lin Shengde.
His brows were tightly furrowed.
“There has been a development concerning Jiang Muxue. She’s married someone else.”
“What?”
Lin Junyao’s eyes widened.
“When did she wake up?”
Lin Shengde shook his head.
“She hasn’t recovered yet. But the Jiang family has arranged for her to marry someone named Qin Yang. The child in her womb should be Qin Yang’s.”
Lin Junyao gritted his teeth.
“That bastard.”
“What’s Qin Yang’s background?”
“I’ll kill him!”
Lin Junyao had spent quite a lot of time pursuing Jiang Muxue.
Half a year ago, he had gone abroad.
When he returned, Jiang Muxue had unexpectedly become a vegetable.
Later, he discovered that she was pregnant.
Lin Junyao had been furious.
In his mind, someone had stolen the woman he wanted.
—Although Jiang Muxue had never been interested in him at all.
The feeling of having been “beaten to the punch” existed entirely in his own mind.
“He used to be nothing more than an ordinary employee at Jiang Muxue’s company.”
Lin Shengde explained.
The Jiang family was extremely wealthy and owned numerous companies under its group.
Jiang Muxue had previously been in charge of one of the group’s subsidiaries.
“How could that be?”
Lin Junyao couldn’t believe it.
“Has the Jiang family gone crazy? Why would they let Jiang Muxue marry an ordinary person?”
Lin Shengde frowned.
“Use your brain and think about it.”
Lin Junyao shook his head.
“Just tell me directly, Dad.”
“I drank some alcohol, so my head is a little dizzy.”
Lin Shengde nodded, lit a cigarette, and said,
“Jiang Muxue is pregnant. The child in her womb is a member of the Jiang family’s bloodline, and it may be their only heir in the future.”
“If Jiang Muxue married another man, tell me, how likely do you think it would be that this child could be born safely?”
Lin Junyao shook his head.
“Probably not very likely.”
“If the child survives, the Jiang family’s wealth will probably belong to him in the future.”
“What if he goes looking for his biological father later?”
Lin Shengde said,
“The Jiang family wants the child to survive, and they also hope to stimulate Jiang Muxue and help her regain consciousness. Under these circumstances, it is most appropriate for Jiang Muxue to marry Qin Yang.”
Lin Junyao’s expression changed.
“Does the Jiang family want Qin Yang and Jiang Muxue to continue having a relationship?”
“What kind of ridiculous idea is that?”
Lin Shengde shook his head.
“They have no other choice. Jiang Muxue has been in a vegetative state for five months, and she’s pregnant. The chances of her waking up on her own are extremely low.”
“Damn!”
Lin Junyao’s face darkened.
The woman he had set his sights on was pregnant with another man’s child, and now Qin Yang might even be sleeping with Jiang Muxue again.
Lin Junyao was furious enough to feel sick.
“Junyao, she’s just a woman.”
“Whether Jiang Muxue has been with another man isn’t important. What matters is who will inherit the Jiang family’s wealth in the future.”
Lin Junyao gritted his teeth.
“I know, but the thought of Jiang Muxue ending up with an ordinary guy like Qin Yang makes me angry. What right does an ordinary person like him have?”
“Dad, when did this happen?”
Lin Shengde said,
“Someone noticed Qin Yang going inside. I looked into it and discovered that Qin Yang had previously worked at Jiang Muxue’s company.”
“Then I found out that the two of them had registered their marriage.”
Lin Junyao’s brows knitted together.
“Dad, is that even legal?”
“Jiang Muxue is a vegetable. She can’t express her wishes.”
Lin Shengde said,
“You forgot that she’s pregnant? If the Jiang family claims that she had already agreed to marry Qin Yang beforehand, do you really think it would be difficult for them to obtain a marriage certificate with the Jiang family’s influence?”
Lin Junyao: “…”
The thought of Jiang Muxue being pregnant made him even angrier.
