Hopeless

Cai Xiu felt a surge of irritation.

This man in front of her had ignored her until now, only speaking when it suited him—telling her what to do. The lack of respect and attention gnawed at her pride.

'Uh! This bastard! How dare he!' Cai Xiu fumed internally, letting out a sharp huff as she begrudgingly walked over, her frustration clear in every step.

Though her mind raced with anger, she kept her expression controlled.

"Fine!" Cai Xiu spat, her voice sharp and cutting as she stepped past her fiancé, not sparing him a glance.

She carefully stepped into the sampan, causing it to rock slightly as she settled down. She sat stiffly with her hands resting on her thighs, her eyes fixed ahead, still avoiding looking at her fiancé.

Feng Shen did the same as he entered the sampan, though with grace, positioning himself at the rear of the small boat.
