Su Yinwan spoke those words with a pitiable expression, then lowered her head.
The next second, a crisp notification sound rang in her Divine Sense, informing her that the male lead's affinity had climbed back up.
Su Yinwan's downcast eyes betrayed a hint of triumph.
Indeed, men still fell for this act.
Upon hearing her words, Shang Shaojing's expression did indeed soften quite a bit, and the suspicion lingering in his heart dissipated completely.
"Yinwan, thank you for trusting me so much. Rest assured, once we reach Chixia Village, I will definitely protect you well."
As if to prove his words, he placed his hand on top of Su Yinwan's.
A blush crept across her face, causing Shang Shaojing's gaze to linger even more.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they each returned to their own seats to rest.
The smile on Shang Shaojing's face gradually faded after Su Yinwan left, soon replaced by a tinge of worry.
