Mo Qian cast a cold glance at Nan Huiru but didn’t move.

He was also surprised as to why Ji Wei had sent persimmons, but he knew she must have her reasons.

Mo Qian remained motionless, and Nan Huiru, unable to contain her anger, prepared to rush forward and snatch Ji Wei’s gift, only to have her arm suddenly held back by someone.

I heard that the persimmon tree was planted by grandpa and grandma back in the day—that explains why the fruits are so flavorful; they must have tended to it with great care."
