Far from finding her unabashed focus on money vulgar or off-putting, Chu Shenyu thought it showed she was frank and sincere.
No one can escape their worldly desires. Some are drawn to beauty, others crave fine food, some lose themselves completely in books, while others love gold and silver—the most straightforward things that make the world go round.
Just as others had said, she was first drawn to his looks. But he was confident he could keep her convinced—that even when he grew old, he would without a doubt be a dapper, cultured old man.
He was captivated by his wife's cooking, devoted to her beauty, and now admired her directness. And since he lacked neither money nor ability, being valued by his wife was a core part of his pride as a man!
Zhu Yun's eyes curved into crescents. She couldn't help but play along and praise him, "My man is so amazing!"
'A truly powerful, gleaming golden arm indeed.'
