Chapter 1300 - 1272: Vengeful True Nature

Chapter 1300: Chapter 1272: Vengeful True Nature

Qian tells others that Qio Yu Xuan is her godfather, to keep up appearances she called him that once, but privately she couldn’t change her way of addressing him, it was awkward, calling him Master was more natural, and Yu Minglang just let her be.

"Not yet, he only came over once this month, didn’t stay long before leaving again."

Qio Yu Xuan is very busy with his work, plus Qian is currently in confinement so it’s not convenient for him to visit, this month he only came once to deliver something, stayed for just a few minutes then left.

"Who do you think tampered with the hard drive?" Yu Minglang asked.

"Someone from the senior apprentices or Akka, these three are possible suspects, I have my reasons for not speaking up, firstly, I cannot determine yet if this person is hostile or not, whether they want to harm me or help me grow, before understanding the purpose it would be hard to establish myself if I tattled to the Master, you saw it, those two seniors hardly recognize my expertise, always calling me the ’minor master’.

Yu Minglang nodded, "If you cannot prove yourself in your field, relying only on tattling to gain your Master’s favor, they won’t respect you in the future."

This relationship among peers is quite complicated, due to unspeakable reasons, Qio Yu Xuan cares deeply for Qian, but this care has become an obstacle for Qian to prove her capabilities, if she tattles about the hard drive incident to Qio Yu Xuan, he would surely stand up for her, but what happens afterward?

If someone intends to frame her, and she asks Master for support, they can justify it by saying it was for her own benefit, after all, the matter was ambiguous enough, no single reason to outwit them, it may create an impression among others that she relies on tattling rather than ability, diminishing people’s respect no matter how hard she tries.

These high-intellect individuals intend to cause troubles for Qian, she doesn’t need to learn techniques, directly transform from a motivational life of a female PhD to palace drama, constantly engaging in endless intrigues.

"Another reason, I guess... Wife, are you being petty, uh, I mean, that vengeful true nature arises again?" Xiaoqiang almost let it slip in his excitement.

Qian glared at him then nodded, "More or less, I just won’t make a stand, I want whoever swapped the hard drive’s content to guess, when I ask Master openly in front of them about the first Chapter, the hidden perpetrator will infer I know, but uncertain if I tattled, feeling anxious daily, tracing it will eventually surface."

Yu Minglang admires her strategic demeanor, bent down and planted a firm kiss.

"Wife, why do I feel you’re more domineering after childbirth than during pregnancy?"

"Pregnancy was to nourish and recuperate, with a baby in the belly, acting always considering the baby’s safety."

Now that Xiaowei’s born, Qian’s aura amplifies, enemies are avenged, grievances addressed.

"No worries for the baby, huh?" He got captivated by her wicked appearance, bent down and kissed again.

"Worry about what? Xiaowei has your and my protection, truly whom to worry is those daring to mess over me, enduring months long, time to settle accounts."

Dark and grim light flashed in Qian’s eyes, she firmly believes one’s eaten must be regurgitated, anyone touching must pay back, no exceptions!

In Qio Yu Xuan’s lab, Qio Yu Xuan along with Nong Yao and Mu Hualili conduct experiments, Mu Hualili sneezed repeatedly.

"Caught a cold?" Nong Yao paused and asked.

Mu Hualili rubbed his nose, "No, not sure why, sneezing all day long."

"Maybe some flower girl is mentioning you, haha."

"You two, stop jabbering, have the data been logged?" Qio Yu Xuan interrupted their babble, Nong Yao went through the data report with him, Qio Yu Xuan cross-verified correctly, noted it’s already past one, none had lunch yet.

"Old man, you treat us like free labor, since your arrival here I’ve been non-stop." After finishing, Nong Yao rubbed his shoulder grumbling.

"This project is confidential, otherwise why do you think I only brought you two inside? Hmm, it’ll be fine in a couple of days, Qian is coming over on Tuesday, with another helping hand, it’ll ease your burden a bit."

"She finished confinement long ago, why stay home a few more days, that minor master has airs indeed, tsk tsk," Nong Yao said sourly.

"She’s attending to Q City matters, only after could she come," Qio Yu Xuan lowered his head to gobble two mouthfuls of lunch box, then raised his head with a seemingly mocking smile.

"Heard she’s investigating Chen Lin’s affair."

Anyone keeping around Qio Yu Xuan definitely won’t express emotions openly.

Upon learning Qian went to Q City, Nong Yao’s eye shifted slightly then resumed normally, while Mu Hualili mildly curled his lips upon the news.

Qio Yu Xuan noticed these subtle changes keenly, curled his lips into a smile.

"No need for me to say more, one thing, Qian is someone I value, anyone daring to make a move, I’ll serve them dumplings... with human meat filling."

Yuck.

Nong Yao and Huaoli exchanged glances, both feeling chills on their backs.

Qio Yu Xuan’s jokes are always half-true, but this one, no fool can’t tell it’s absolutely true.

Having spoken, Qio Yu Xuan didn’t delve further, again showing a smiling face.

"Come on, what’s for lunch? Dumplings?"

"..." You better just keep it for yourself!

...

Outside a courtyard of a residential flat in Q City, a tall man holding a swaddled baby draws particular attention.

Passersby couldn’t help but glance, the man’s temperament is distinguished, but what catches the eye is his careful baby-holding manner, several schoolgirls just released from school glanced repeatedly, upon noticing, the man they quickly turned, hearing their chattering from afar.

Handsome, adorable baby-holding manner, more handsome than TV series Korean drama stars...

These words unknowingly blew into Yu Minglang’s ears by the wind, he casually changed his stance making Da Wei in his arms more comfortable.

Qian is inside inquiring for clues, he’s outside holding the baby, he first waited in the car, but later on as the daughter grumbled, he carried her out, the baby delighted upon seeing sunlight, so he took her outside for sunbathing.

After a while, Qian came out, looking at her expression, Yu Minglang knew the matter probably didn’t go smoothly.

"Why bring the baby out of the car, so cold outside." Qian reached to feel, fortunately, the daughter’s neck was warm.

Men holding babies are unreliable, telling him to wait in the car he insisted on strolling outside.
