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."

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.
