Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530: Exchanging Life Saving Herbs (2)

Lei Qian looked at the hoe in his hands and sighed. He had never once done tasks like these; as the heir of a company, why would he play with the soil? Though he was a bit helpless, he couldn’t refuse. After all, his wife had already spoken; if he didn’t listen, then it would be problematic.

He lifted the hoe and started loosening the soil, and it was then that he recalled that the plants that were growing on this patch were gone. He turned to look at Bai Meiyue and asked, "What happened to the plants that were growing here?"

"They are gone." Bai Meiyue sat down on the small stool and pulled the bone broth soup towards her. The soup was neither too hot nor too cold; it was just right to drink. She picked up the bowl and brought it to her lips before taking a sip. She knew that Lei Qian was going to get suspicious because of the plants disappearing in thin air.

But there was nothing she could do. Who would have expected that the man would suddenly barge into the greenhouse? The two of them separated just a while ago, and she was not hoping to run into him so soon. Bad luck. Ah, it was her bad luck.

Just as Bai Meiyue expected, Lei Qian’s doubts surged. The plants were so tall and heavy; how could Bai Meiyue move them on her own? And he knew that Bai Meiyue cared about their son enough not to do such a risky thing. Then how did the plants disappear in just a matter of a few hours?

"And what do you want to do after removing those plants?" Lei Qian casually asked, trying to understand what Bai Meiyue was trying to do or what her secret was.

"Grow some new plants," replied Bai Meiyue as she pointed to the plants that were placed in the corner of the greenhouse.

When Lei Qian turned and saw the herbs that Bai Meiyue was talking about growing, he nearly fainted. He knew these herbs, and he knew how rare these herbs were. They could be sold for billions if they were sold in the auction, and yet Bai Meiyue was growing them in her greenhouse like they were cabbage or leeks.

He asked in a trembling voice, "Where did you get them?"

"I always had them," Bai Meiyue replied curtly, and Lei Qian turned to look at the woman behind him. He wanted to ask what she meant by that; she always had them, but he knew that he would never be able to get an answer from Bai Meiyue. After all, when she was in a mood like that, she would rather fight to the death than tell the truth.

He sighed. He knew that his wife had a lot of secrets, and he wondered when he would be able to find something.

Bai Meiyue sighed in relief when she saw that Lei Qian was working honestly without asking any more questions. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell him the truth, but she couldn’t trust Lei Qian. Not unless she saw this man pushing that woman with whom he was chummy in her last life. Without that, she would never show her cards to Lei Qian.
