I really want to punch her

Mo Xifeng who had no idea that she was being dragged into a love story that she had no plans to start, continued sneezing in the living room of her house. With the book about mecha core in her lap, Mo Xifeng wiped her nose and sniffled, Wen Gui who was busying around the kitchen turned to look at the second daughter of his wife and cupped his cheek as he asked with a concerned voice, " Xifeng, are you all right? Do you want me to make some chicken soup for you in the night?"

" There is no need, Daddy Gui," Mo Xifeng shook her head as she refused, the chicken meat that was sold in the market was artificially created by the researchers of the Main Star. It was something that was created to fulfil the nutrition level of a mecha morph but since meat and eggs always had limited stock, they were sold at quite an expensive price.

Though Wen Gui had his dowry left with him Mo Xifeng did not want him to use his savings on her, and there was no way she was sick anyway after all a mecha morph hardly ever got sick once they awakened their powers.

" Are you sure about it?" Even though Wen Gui pampered Mo Qiang more, he cared about Mo Xifeng as well which was why he was still a bit worried when he saw that the latter was looking rather pale. He might have not given birth to Mo Xifeng but he raised her ever since she was a child which was why he was really troubled seeing her sneeze despite being a mecha morph.

Just what kind of virus made a mecha morph sick? Thought Wen Gui in his head as he looked at Mo Xifeng worriedly.

Qi Hong the virus: "….." I have a feeling someone is bad-mouthing me behind my back.

" I am sure, Daddy Gui," Mo Xifeng was slightly touched when she saw that Wen Gui was worried about her because she had always been worried that Mo Qiang will get jealous of her getting close to her daddy like she was envious of her. After all, she was close with their mother, which was why Mo Xifeng had always kept her distance from Mo Qiang's daddy causing their relationship to be slightly strained.

" If you are sure," Wen Gui was not close with his wife's second daughter which was why he did not think much and stopped asking when he saw that she was refusing to drink the chicken soup again and again. On the other hand, Yin Fu who was helping his father in law looked at Mo Xifeng whose complexion was rather pale and bit his lips ——

' Looks like sister-in-law is not getting enough nutrition as a mecha morph,' thought Yin Fu while staring at Mo Xifeng's back when she was not looking at him. He knew that he will be stepping over the line if he was to sell something and buy chicken meat for his sister-in-law but he could not just simply watch the latter getting sick now, can he?

Just as he was thinking about buying chicken breast for his sister-in-law, his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell of their house. He turned to look at the front door slightly surprised since their house was a place where anyone hardly came, he was not the only one who was shocked, even Mo Xifeng was confused.

She pushed her body off the couch and then walked to the door where she opened the metal door and looked at the robot that was standing in front of her house's door dressed in a delivery uniform with a parcel in its hand.

A frown came over Mo Xifeng's face as she said politely, " How may I help you?"

" This is the parcel for anonymous Bob," the robot answered as it stretched its metallic hands in front of Mo Xifeng causing the latter's frown to turn even deeper. Just as she was going to say that there was no anonymous bob, she heard a voice coming from behind ——

" Yes, Yes, it's me!" Mo Qiang who had been waiting for her parcel to arrive slid down the metallic railings of the stairs and then bounced all the way to the threshold where she smiled at the metallic robot and then showed him the account which won the poetry competition. " You can leave it with me now, Mister delivery guy."

The robotic delivery man looked at the account and nodded as he handed the parcel to Mo Qiang before taking his cap off and then saluted to Mo Qiang before bidding her goodbye, " Then I will be taking my leave, anonymous bob."

Mo Qiang happily took the parcel and waved the robotic delivery man goodbye before she turned to walk inside the house, a smile decorating her lips.

" Sister, what did you buy now?" Mo Xifeng closed the door looking at Mo Qiang with a frown. She knew that her sister was used to buying portraits and selfies of the third prince but she thought that her memories were muddled, her sister was going to change and start saving.

" I did not buy anything," Mo Qiang answered at once when she heard the accusatory note in Mo Xifeng's voice. " I won this thing!"

She heard Yin Fu scoff as the latter muttered unhappily, " If you are going to make an excuse at least make a decent one."

Mo Qiang: "..." Oh so you are free to goggle at my sister but I cannot even buy portraits of the third prince, not that I have but still what kind of hypocrisy is this?

" Fu'ah!" Wen Gui reproachfully snapped at Yin Fu who pursed his lips and then started to chop what looked like dried jerky but it was too rubber-like in Mo Qiang's eyes to be called dried meat.

" What is going on?" Mo Yan who was cleaning the heating system of the house walked inside the house from the back door with Xie Jie who was carrying dried laundry in his hands. She looked around the house and when she saw a parcel in the hands of Mo Qiang's hands, she helplessly signed, " Qi Qi, did you buy another selfie book of the third prince? We are running out of money, how we will survive if you keep on wasting money like this?"

Mo Qiang: "….." I didn't, you are wrongly accusing me! At least give me a chance to put forth my case, milord! No milady.
