"So the saying 'brothers are like hands and feet, women are like clothes' was said by Liu Bei. I don't agree with that. It should be 'a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness,' meaning mutual support and affection," Wang Han said with emotion upon hearing this.
“I agree. How can we abandon the bond between husband and wife?” Cao Cao nodded and said.
"Ahem." Wang Han coughed and said leisurely to Cao Cao, "I seem to remember that you have a fondness for married women."
