What to expect from The Early Spring Episode 16?
The preview of Episode 16 of The Early Spring reveals Shang Zhi Tao asking Luan Nian to prepare an osmanthus milk drink for her when she arrives. Luke says that if she's craving one, she must hurry and visit him.
Just when Flora says that he'll have to wait, his door opens, and she's right in front of him. Flora rushes and hugs Luan Nian as they both miss each other. While their love is blooming, there's another new employee at Lime.
He captures Lumi's attention, not only because he is a fine young man, but also because he appears particularly focused on work. He later asks Lumi about her leave and reminds her to follow the protocols of the company.
Looks like there's going to be some new drama at Lime. At the same time, Dony's arrival in the company has started to affect Luke. They once had a similar vision, but Dony's betrayal ruined Luan Nian's plans. So, they are no longer on good terms.
