Now that her daughter mentioned it, Madam Shen finally understood the unspoken truth between her eldest son and Li Chuntao. While it was true that they knew Zichen's attraction over Ying, he was more at ease being with Chuntao since they were young.
When Li Chuntao left seven years ago, she'd seen how troubled her eldest child was. Lu Xinyi initially thought that it was because they understood each other and they had a common interest that Zichen didn't find anyone except for Li Chuntao.
"Do you think he realizes this himself?" Madam Shen asked her daughter. Was he really after Ying or he was overlooking someone close to him?
Shen Lingqing hummed before taking a sip from her drink. Her eyes followed her brother's movements and saw how he quietly placed another piece of meat on Li Chuntao's plate.
"No. I don't think Zi Gege knows," she responded. "Sister Chuntao somewhat reminds me of Auntie Feiyan," Qingqing added.
