Before he met Wen Ran, Mo Xiuchen thought all women liked treasures, jewelry, and expensive clothes. Although Qin Mu and Gu Kai, who were with him, didn't have much interest in women, there was Luo Haofeng, a known womanizer.
The women around him seemed to like such things, and Luo Haofeng was always generous, so Mo Xiuchen had come to think that all women were like that.
He didn't hate that women liked jewelry and trinkets, but thought they might appear vulgar if adorned with too many such things. This was especially true for some women who weren't particularly attractive and already had a certain vulgarity about them.
Because he's always missed the little girl who once saved him, he had absolutely no interest in these vulgar women. But when he met Ranran at a party, his eyes lit up at the sight of her.
