Many noblewomen and socialites passing by Nanfu cast him looks of affection, attracted by his pitiful expression, especially the older noblewomen.
They used folding fans to cover half of their faces, concealing the smiles at the corners of their mouths, yet forgot to hide their predator-like gazes.

Rescued, Nanfu showed a relieved expression, gratefully glancing at his elder sister, not realizing he completely misunderstood those aggressive stares.
