"Working at night harms your eyes. You can take time to sew after finishing your daytime tasks." Chun Nuan realized that what her eldest aunt said was probably a case of unrequited love. Mrs. Wu was solely focused on her career and had no intention of starting anything with him.
Or maybe the eldest aunt simply misunderstood.
However, the next day, when Chun Nuan saw Qian Yuanli getting medicine, the way he looked at Mrs. Wu revealed it all: this older gentleman truly had feelings for the young widow.
It's really not surprising, considering he claimed he was injured years ago and always thought himself incapable, never marrying or having children.
After all those lonely decades, he found warmth in Mrs. Wu, who cooked, cleaned, made soups, and prepared medicine—doing everything a wife would, except warming his bed.
It's no wonder his long-repressed heart began to stir!
When an iron tree blooms, it's unstoppable.
Chun Nuan relayed Qian Yuanli's peacock display to Zhao Minghua.
