Flower Romance: My Lover Is a Flower

A woman stood in front of him, smiling brightly: "Hello, master."

Ren Dafu was sneering inwardly.

In fact, his face clearly expressed exactly what he was thinking.

But the person before him was not a tapeworm in Ren Dafu's belly, he was still enthusiastically pitching to Ren Dafu.

"Oh, Your Majesty the Emperor, have you been having a rough time lately? But you will soon be lucky, because you have met me."

The sky was very dark, and Ren Dafu was in a terrible mood. As he passed through a small alley, he was stopped by a salesman dressed oddly.

"I have a seed here. See the flowerpot in my hand? This is called a smart irrigation flowerpot, a high-tech product. Just plant this seed in the smart flowerpot, and within half a day..."

He raised his eyebrow mysteriously, then slowly leaned close to Ren Dafu and said softly: "It will grow a woman as beautiful as a flower."

Ren Dafu finally could not help but sneer out loud. Only then did he see the flowerpot the salesman was holding, and he threw a punch: "I'm telling you, stop lying. Get lost, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

"Wait, if you don't believe me, I'll give you this seed for free. If you believe it someday, then buy our product." The salesman blocked Ren Dafu.

Unable to bear the harassment, Ren Dafu had no choice but to accept the seed and stormed off angrily.

Ren Dafu's wife had recently been fighting with him about divorce.

The seven-year itch, plus the fact that neither of them had children, made their feelings for each other grow weaker and weaker.

Ren Dafu's wife was named Chen Fang.

Chen Fang was an honest person, and her only hobby was growing flowers and plants. They lived on the 17th floor of Jinling Apartments. Although there was no yard, Chen Fang still filled the home with all kinds of plants. The balcony, living room, and bedroom all had them everywhere.

But Chen Fang was not skilled at caring for flowers and plants. Chen Fang often went on business trips and had no time to tend to these things. So every so often, plants in the home would die one after another.

Ren Dafu usually did not pay much attention to these plants, but this time his gaze was drawn to a plant outside the window. Chen Fang had not been home for a long time, and most of the surrounding plants had become withered and yellow. But this rose was blooming brightly and beautifully.

He walked closer and found that this flowerpot seemed to be the same as the smart irrigation flowerpot that man had pitched to him tonight. Ren Dafu's eyebrows twitched, and as if possessed, he buried that seed in the soil.

Had technology really reached this level now?

A faint sound seemed to come from the flowerpot. Ren Dafu knew it was not his imagination, but Chen Fang watering the flower through her phone from a corner of the city.

When Chen Fang had first told Ren Dafu about this kind of flowerpot, that with just a phone app one could learn about the condition of the plants at any time and even water them while away, Ren Dafu had been dismissive. The reason was simple. Ren Dafu actually did not like flowers and plants, and he often quarreled with Chen Fang because he disliked having too many of them at home.

In a hazy daze, Ren Dafu fell asleep.

One moment he remembered Chen Fang's shy cheeks when they married, like a smear of red cloud.

The next moment he remembered when they were dating in university, eating barbecue together at night, strolling the streets, how happy they were.

Then again when they had just started working, when neither of them had money and they had a bare-bones marriage, Chen Fang often could not even bear to eat meat and would put every bit of minced meat into his bowl.

When he woke the next day, Ren Dafu immediately noticed something was wrong.

A woman stood in front of him, smiling brightly: "Hello, master."

Rose (scientific name: Rosa sp.): a general term for some plants in the genus Rosa, mainly referring to variants and horticultural cultivars of climbing roses.

The prickly rose, namely the rugosa rose (scientific name: Rosa rugosa), is a plant in the genus Rosa of the family Rosaceae.

Ren Dafu immediately ruled out the possibility of a thief. His home was on the 17th floor; if someone had climbed through the window, it would have been practically suicide. There were no signs of the door lock being pried open. The residential compound where Ren Dafu lived was one of the high-end compounds in the city, with a very high security index. It was unlikely that a person could appear without a sound.

"My name is Rose. I am the woman you grew. You have to take responsibility for me." The woman before him flashed a toothy smile, innocent with a touch of youthfulness.

Ren Dafu was driven crazy.

Was the world crazy, or was he crazy?

After several days of observation, he found that Rose truly understood nothing. She did not know how to turn on the water heater, did not recognize fruit, and even had to be taught by Ren Dafu how to wash her face.

Beside the rose, Ren Dafu saw a blade of grass pushing out from the soil. He thought that perhaps Rose really was a plant.

That day, Rose had just finished bathing. She was wrapped in a bath towel, her long hair dripping wet. A fresh fragrance from after the bath immediately spread through the air.

Ren Dafu felt a little uneasy, but Rose, unaware, leaned close to him: "Dafu, can you help me dry my hair? I can't reach it."

With a "gulp," Ren Dafu heard himself swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Rose smiled, glamorous and alluring, and Ren Dafu was stunned.

Suddenly some strange sound came through.

At that moment, his phone began vibrating madly.

Chen Fang and countless viewers were watching Ren Dafu's reaction in front of the television.

Chen Fang sobbed softly. The host beside her comforted Chen Fang, then asked: "Ms. Chen, what are your thoughts right now?"

Chen Fang said: "I want to give him a call."

"Couple's Secret Show" was a reality show sponsored by Runyang Group, and Runyang Group's flagship product was the smart irrigation flowerpot!

At this time, hidden cameras captured Ren Dafu and Rose perfectly clearly.

Chen Fang tried hard to control her emotions: "Ren Dafu, I now know everything you are doing. We are completely finished."

Ren Dafu was startled and looked around in some panic, but found nothing.

He said: "If you want a divorce, that's fine, but my business lost money a while ago, and the house and money are all gone. Even if we divorce, you can only leave with nothing."

Was this really the man she had loved for so long?

Chen Fang finally could not hold back and cried out in sorrow.

Ren Dafu transferred the house and car into Rose's name.

He smiled quite smugly.

This is a 500,000 bonus, also transferred to your name, so that wife of mine doesn't find out.

The person in charge of Runyang Group had actually first approached Ren Dafu, so Ren Dafu had known about this matter long ago and played along with Rose in a staged act.

But what the person in charge of Runyang Group did not know was that Rose and Ren Dafu had actually known each other long ago, and were in a very intimate relationship.

Ren Dafu said: "Now that I'm divorced, after the gossip dies down for a while, we'll go register our marriage."

Rose only smiled and said nothing.

Ren Dafu assumed she was just shy.

After some time passed, Ren Dafu found that he could no longer reach Rose.

He frantically dialed Rose's mobile number, but it was an empty number.

At that moment, an unfamiliar number called.

Ren Dafu answered, and it was Rose's voice: "Your house, car, and money, I have all given to Chen Fang. They should have belonged to her in the first place. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am her distant younger cousin."

Ren Dafu collapsed onto the sofa.

Rose continued: "Do you remember that person who pitched you the smart irrigation flowerpot that day?"

Ren Dafu said nothing.

"He is my boyfriend."

So even being single was a lie to me, Ren Dafu thought, his heart turning cold.

He asked: "I treated you so well, why did you harm me?"

Rose sighed and said:

"Because..."

"Because that day you didn't buy the smart irrigation flowerpot."

This kind of "smart flowerpot" has a moisture and temperature sensing device installed at its bottom, and there is also a light sensor on the outside. The vibration function of the "smart flowerpot" can provide convenience for users with poor eyesight when growing potted plants.

These sensing devices can monitor changes in the plant's surrounding environment at any time. When the environment the plant is in does not meet the standards required for its growth, the indicator light outside the flowerpot will flash, and the thermometer and hygrometer beside it will display the required values, allowing the owner to promptly provide effective care.
