Neither of them was particularly interested in listening to the storytelling. In fact, despite having been in North City for so long, Qin Jiqun had never been to a place like this.
But today was different.
He had thought carefully about what his niece, Qin Jiao, had said to him.
Being alone for so many years was certainly not easy, and the way Jiang Ling made him feel was completely different from his ex-wife, Feng Lan.
He did have feelings for her, but a deep-seated insecurity held him back. He felt his circumstances weren't good enough and that he didn't deserve someone as kind and gentle as Jiang Ling.
Then he heard she was sick, and he grew anxious.
And so, he had finally mustered up the courage to ask her out.
Adult relationships aren't as ambiguous as they are when you're young. In Qin Jiqun's case, he felt his current situation meant he couldn't afford to start some vague, undefined relationship.
Okay, so he was still a little insecure.
