Chapter 487 - 421
Qin Ye and Rong Yan returned to their own room.
Finally, it was time for just the two of them to be alone.
"My wife..." Qin Ye’s voice was somewhat hesitant, and even more so, careful, "Are you going to take a bath now?"
Rong Yan nodded, "Mhm."
"Then, does entering your space... have any effect on your current condition?"
That was what Qin Ye really wanted to ask.
After all, being pregnant is different from her usual state.
Rong Yan: "It doesn’t affect me. If I really have to say, it only makes my body better, since the air in the space is relatively good."
Hearing his wife say this, Qin Ye finally let his concern relent.
"As long as there’s no harm to your body and it’s actually beneficial, then go take your bath now."
Originally, he had planned for his wife to bathe outside, as that seemed safer.
After all, the biggest fear for someone who is pregnant is an accidental fall.
Rong Yan slipped into the space...
Leaving Qin Ye behind, the corners of his mouth slowly lifted, and soon his eyes were full of wild laughter.
He was going to be a father, he was going to be a father, he was going to be a father...
At that moment, Qin Ye felt like running outside dozens of times to express the excitement in his heart.
In his mind, he automatically visualized a mini-version of a little person; although the face was unclear, it was definitely a beautiful little girl.
Yes, he still hoped for a child as beautiful as his wife.
Half an hour later, Rong Yan came out from the space. Now, after the space had been upgraded, the time ratio was one to thirty - aside from the black soil land’s growth rate which was much faster than outside.
That is to say, one day outside was equivalent to thirty days of crop growth on the black soil land.
As for the time in the villa and the rest of the space... it was now synchronized with reality. Actually, this was inconsequential to Rong Yan.
It was just the loss of a cheating time mechanism.
And it didn’t have too much impact.
Qin Ye saw his wife coming out and hurried over, "My wife, are you done? Do you want something to drink?"
"No drink, I want to lie down for a while," Rong Yan now just wanted to comfortably lie down.
It was going to get hot soon, and it would be nice to have an air conditioner.
Maybe if Qin Ye could enter the space, that would be a good option.
They could specifically go to sleep in the space at night.
Qin Ye had heard that pregnant people get tired very easily.
So now, hearing his wife wanted to sleep, he quickly said, "Then you should get to bed."
He had gotten excited earlier and took a bath.
Now he followed her to bed.
After the two lay down, Qin Ye couldn’t help but reach out and touch Rong Yan’s belly.
He still found it somewhat unbelievable that there was a little life in there.
Rong Yan could feel the burning heat of his palm and the slight tremor.
So she placed her hand over the back of his, her voice gentle, "Although you can’t feel it now, in another two months, you’ll be able to feel the life inside beating."
Qin Ye took a long moment before he squeezed out a sentence, "Thank you, my wife."
Though he had a thousand things to say, he who usually didn’t talk much, had already run out of words.
"This is my child too, but yes, I am indeed going through a lot!"
Rong Yan didn’t want to say she wasn’t suffering or anything like that. After all, with a baby bump for ten months, how could it not be tough?
She had to let the baby’s father know about her hardships as a mother.
Qin Ye kissed her forehead, as a way to express his deep love.
He swore in his heart that he would always treat his wife well.
Even if they had children, in his heart... no one could surpass the place his wife held in his heart.
***
In the days that followed, Rong Yan focused on nurturing her pregnancy.
Having just graduated, she turned down the offer from the hospital and found herself with a lot of free time each day.
But she wasn’t completely idle.
She didn’t plan on studying herbal medicine production— after all, medicines can be harmful, and she was mindful of the child in her womb.
However, writing or drawing presented no problems whatsoever.
It also guaranteed an income... after all, no one would complain about having too much money.
Speaking of which, Qin Ye’s salary alone was hardly enough to support their large family.
Because they typically ate quite well, the family’s standard of living... was relatively high.
Originally, Madam Rong was someone who liked to save money.
But under her daughter’s subtle influence and ’brainwashing,’ she gradually became more generous and stopped penny-pinching like before.
As a result, the family’s spending was faster than others.
Of course, she never lacked money— her royalties alone ensured the family lived quite comfortably, not to mention the occasional sale of the herbs and pills she produced from her "space."
These alone were a significant source of income.
Much higher than most other families’ earnings.
This era valued the concept of the "ten-thousand-yuan household"... and theirs was certainly one of them.
Not to mention anything else, with the courtyard house the old master gave them today, they had several properties.
Not only that, Rong Yan had also bought a courtyard house each for Qin Mei and Qin Yu.
Plus, the old master said he would gift each of them a house.
With this, the twins, even before reaching adulthood, were already wealthy.
Qin Yu typically spent his summers training in the military, but this time he was taking it even more seriously.
These past years, the kindness his sister-in-law, uncle, and aunt had shown him went without saying.
He wanted to train well, and he hadn’t neglected his academic studies either because he wished to be admitted to his dream university in next year’s college entrance exam.
He had initially considered a military academy, but after his sister-in-law’s analysis, he decided on the National Defense University.
Coincidentally, his elder brother was a graduate of the National Defense University.
However, he wanted to pursue a different major from his brother.
His brother studied mechanical engineering.
And those children of the big courts who had come to train with him were swept up by Qin Yu.
For no other reason than their few moments of rest, they would see Qin Yu studying, which truly rendered them speechless.
Especially the academically challenged Qi Quan... the nephew of Qi Yan, who had been saved by Rong Yan four years ago.
After enduring several days without asking, Qi Quan saw Qin Yu buried in his studies during a break... apparently writing a test paper.
This was a bit too much.
"Brother Yu, why are you working so hard? Are you aiming to become the top scholar?" In fact, Qi Quan’s birthday was two months before Qin Yu’s.
But since Qin Yu was the more formidable one, he had the highest combat power among his peers in the compound.
None of them could beat him.
And his intellect was remarkably sharp.
Moreover, since most of them were destined for a military path... they had similar aspirations.
Hence, he was undoubtedly their leader.
Qin Yu glanced at him, "With my sister around, do you think the top scholar would be me?"
Hearing Qin Yu mention Qin Mei, Qi Yan’s face instantly turned red.
He became awkward to some degree, and his tone was somewhat faltering, "Boss, did Meimei also prepare a set of test papers for me? I also want to study."
