Gu Qianqian swallowed, turned around and walked out. She didn't want to be in this place for a second.
"..."
Lan Jue looked at her frightened look and did not stop him. He took out a tissue and pressed the wound, and then followed her out of the secret room.
It wasn't until she breathed in the fresh air outside that Gu Qianqian felt that she was a living person.
Looking at those things fed with human blood, it was really hard for her to accept it!
He turned around and looked at Lan Jue, "Did you just say that your mother planted these flowers?"
"..."
"Master of the house."
Someone hurriedly walked in outside the Orchid Garden. When Lan Jue saw the person, he narrowed his green eyes, turned around and left the Orchid Garden.
Gu Qianqian only saw the person saying a few simple words in Lan Jue's ear, and Lan Jue's face darkened.
After sending the person away, Lan Jue walked back to Gu Qianqian not long after.
"You have something to do?"
"Nothing is more important than you."
A fond smile appeared at the corner of Lan Jue's mouth, and he reached out to pick up Gu Qianqian's scattered hair and put it behind her ear, but the smile at the corner of his mouth did not reach his eyes.
"..."
Gu Qianqian was not used to his intimacy and instinctively stepped back, but her arm was grabbed by Lan Jue.
"Would you be interested in hearing a story?"
"..."
"Don't you want to know why my mother planted bloody crystal orchids?"
Lan Jue did not let go of the curiosity in Gu Qianqian's eyes. Even though he was afraid of such evil plants, he still couldn't control his curiosity.
"You have a baby in your belly, so you can't stand for too long. Sit down on the flower stand and I'll explain it to you slowly."
"..."
Gu Qianqian raised her head and looked at his handsome face, easily catching the sadness lingering in his pupils. She swallowed the words she wanted to refuse when she spoke.
Anyway, she was really curious, so it didn't hurt to listen.
"Do you still remember that I told you that my mother was of extremely noble birth?"
Lan Jue's voice was not as arrogant as usual, and his cold voice was surprisingly not harsh. After seeing Gu Qianqian nod, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So you don't remember everything I told you."
"..."
Gu Qianqian frowned, "Can you tell me the important point?"
"The story starts with my mother being unable to have children..."
"Your mother is infertile?"
Gu Qianqian lowered her eyes and looked at him in confusion.
Lan Jue is sitting here alive, how could her mother be infertile?
"There is no doubt that I am my mother's only child. When a woman falls in love with a man, she can risk her life for him. What's so strange about giving birth to a child..."
Lan Jue's voice was very calm and he spoke eloquently.
Lan Jue's mother is from a noble family and has a gentle temperament. Unlike other wealthy women who love jewelry and shopping, Lan Jue's mother is only interested in flowers.
This hobby has never changed since she was sensible.
The marriage with Lan Yongjie, the head of the Lan family, was a powerful one, and the two had never even met before the marriage.
Lan Yongjie was ambitious and only regarded his wife as a pawn of the coalition forces. However, after marriage, Lan Jue's mother really fell in love with his father...
His mother is in poor health and has been inseparable from medicine bottles since she was a child. Pregnancy is a fatal thing for her.
However, in order to give birth to a child for her beloved man, she took a risk and used her own blood to cultivate a blood-colored crystal orchid.
"Your mother used Crystal Orchid to delay your growth and weaken the impact of pregnancy on her body?"
