Even a fool would understand from the conversation between Su Qingcai and Ding Yi that he was someone of considerable importance, yet he had never mentioned these things to Su Xiaoning.

Seeing Su Xiaoning's pitiful look, Su Qingcai's heart softened. After hesitating for a while, he carefully considered his words before explaining, "It's not that I intentionally hid it from you, it's just that some things wouldn't be good for you if you knew. As for why I don't want to leave... I want to find someone here who can build ships..."

Su Qingcai didn't leave because of Su Xiaoning, but he couldn't say those words when facing her.

Su Xiaoning was still angry, but upon hearing Su Qingcai's words, something suddenly came to mind.

“Shipbuilding? No one in Carp Village knows how to build ships… But do you remember Ah Liang? His ancestors were shipbuilders, it seems.”

"Really?" Su Qingcai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly approached Su Xiaoning. "Can you take me to him? I have something urgent to attend to!"

Su Xiaoning originally didn't want to pay attention to Su Qingcai, but when she saw his anxious face, she softened and nodded slightly, preparing to take Su Qingcai to Wanxia Village to find A Liang.

Before they had taken more than a few steps, they heard Su Qingcai cough lightly a few times and say softly, "Are you planning to go looking for someone dressed like this?"

Su Xiaoning looked down and immediately blushed.

She was in such a hurry to find someone that she hadn't even dressed properly; under her coat was only a thin undershirt. It was really inappropriate to go out to see a married man dressed like that.

"It's because I was in a hurry to find you..." Su Xiaoning muttered for a moment, then hurriedly ran home.

Knowing that Su Xiaoning cared about him so much, Su Qingcai felt a warmth in his heart.

After resting, the two immediately headed to A Liang's house.
