Xie Jie was overjoyed. It would be a lie to say that he was not moved by the roses that Mo Qiang had given him. In the eyes of others, these roses might be of no use other than looking beautiful but to Xie Jie, they meant more than anything.
'So someone can love me too?' Xie Jie thought to himself, his eyes softened as he stared at the roses that were kept in the cabinet. His face was alight with happiness as he stared at the red flowers with dew drops dripping down the reddish petals.
His mother often instilled the thought in his head that he was unlovable, because if Xie Jie was a mer who could be loved then why would his own mother not love him? Then there was his Daddy who went crazy in love, he wouldn't even look at Xie Jie and Xie Li just because his wife asked him to abandon these two kids who crawled out of his womb.
Ever since then, he locked his heart away. A child who couldn't even be loved by his parents, who would dare to love him?
However…
Xie Jie poked the petals of the red roses and his lips curled in a smile as he buried his face in the pillow of his bed. His legs kicked happily as he screamed again.
Looks like he found his happiness!
"My wife… I will work hard to give birth to a chubby baby for you," muttered Xie Jie as he looked at the red roses with a loving look on his face. He rubbed his abdomen and hoped that the poison would get detoxed as soon as possible.
At the same time, Mo Qiang was sitting in the living room. She suddenly sneezed and looked around, she had no idea who was scheming against her but she knew that there was someone who was having some troubled thoughts towards her.
She rubbed her nose and looked around, wanting to see who it was but did not find anyone.
'Strange…my waist seemed to be aching and there is a throbbing ache where my kidneys are… what's going on?' Mo Qiang thought with a frown while staring at the wall in front of her. What happened? Everything was fine just now, so how come she suddenly started feeling sick?
However, Mo Qiang did not have the time to worry about it. She was now looking at Sun Shi who was staring at the fruits that Mo Qiang had brought with her.
"Miss Qiang, these things…" Sun Shi had never seen such things in her life before, at most, she knew about apples and grapes because the information on them was written in the imperial documents. But other than that, she had never seen fruits like these before, they were really strange but the scent that came from them was too sweet for her to ignore.
"These are fruits that are often found in regions next to the forest that have sandalwood trees," Mo Qiang explained. "Sandalwood trees need a host plant, which is why many plants are grown next to them for the sake of becoming their hosts. I took those plants and planted them a bit far from the sandalwood forest for the sake of convenience."
"This is loquat, it's extremely sweet and juicy. This here is pomegranate, mango and guava. Oh, this is called orange, it's slightly sour but it tastes really good as well. As for these vegetables, they are really good. Especially the leafy greens, they are the only crop that I was able to push to Z grade."
Mo Qiang was really proud of this achievement. After living in this era, she knew that the Z-grade crop was basically a treasure worthy of the imperial family. There was hardly any Z-grade crop that appeared in the history of the Imperial Family.
