Xie Xuan was a bit frustrated that her original date had fallen through because of her mother Tang Wan's affair. However, she wasn't in a rush to find a partner now. Instead, she was eager for her father to quickly deal with her stepmother Liu Chunhua.
Even Mother Xie came over a few times, claiming to be visiting Liu Yanran, but everyone knew she had other intentions. Her knowledge of Liu Yanran was probably limited to acquaintance, after all, they didn't have much in common.

Because she was expecting triplets, Liu Yanran needed to recuperate extensively after childbirth, spending nearly three months in bed. Even Liu Chunhua's marriage certificate and wedding banquet took place in Liu Yanran's courtyard.
