Indeed, this tactic worked well, especially on a man like Liu Xuan. Although Liu Xuan had been quite good to her in the past, looking very affectionate, it was only superficial. Most of the time his behavior was characterized by patience and tolerance, never had he spoken to her so softly and gently.
Mrs. Shao had a moment of daze, watching Liu Xuan stride in, taking her into his embrace. His rare care and tenderness were not only devoid of blame for her failure but instead provided her with comfort. His words warmed her heart, and for a moment she was indulged.
The words Mrs. Shao spoke, though previously advised by someone, were mostly her own true feelings. She genuinely cared for this man.
