He and his brothers, his cousins, all faced similar limitations. The only thing he could do, if he truly liked a woman, was to place her in the rear courtyard and dote on her, doing his best to give her the very best. As for the rest, it would have to come slowly. If he genuinely cherished a woman, he would eventually find ways to provide her with everything. Once she had her own foundation and confidence, she would suffer less humiliation.
Thinking this, he lifted his eyes to gaze at Xia Ruqing, his eyes filled with doting affection.
"Are you full?"
Xia Ruqing held her bowl, wishing she could drink even the soup, and looked at him, still not fully satisfied.
"Not full..."
Zhao Junyao just laughed.
"Even if you're not full, no more eating. Come and eat these noodles!"
Xia Ruqing knew her limits and obediently nodded.
"Alright!"
