Ye Xuan had never seen a woman like Qing Zhu. When she didn't know who the child's father was, she raised the child alone, which was understandable. But upon knowing who it was, she wasn't delighted. Instead, she wanted to stay away, which Ye Xuan found intriguing.

However, after meeting Qing Zhu, he felt a special emotion, and now seeing her actions, he had a desire to conquer. He wanted to have this woman, and he wanted her to be willing.
He wondered if Qing Zhu would oppose him when she found out, learning from ordinary women and throwing herself at him, wondering if he'd still want her then. But Qing Zhu couldn't read minds, nor was she a worm in his stomach, so she didn't understand this man's peculiar thoughts.
