At this time, Wei Ruo had already turned her head away and was looking out through the carriage window.
Wei Jinyi stared at Wei Ruo's profile, his heart pounding and unable to calm down for a long time.
Once they were outside the city, Wei Ruo supported Wei Jinyi while getting off the carriage.
In the past, Wei Ruo thought Wei Jinyi's pretending to be sick was too cunning, but now she realized that it wasn't easy for him to appear frail before others given his nature.
However, his pretending to be sick was worth it as it protected them from many unnecessary troubles and facilitated their plans.
For the act to be convincing, Wei Ruo always needed to support Wei Jinyi in public.
And Wei Jinyi cooperated by resting his hand on Wei Ruo's.
With their palms touching, they could clearly feel each other's warmth.
Both felt this intimacy was somewhat peculiar, yet neither expressed it.
