Lin Qingwan snapped out of her daze, her face showing a helpless expression as if a child had seen through her thoughts. She feigned composure and said, "I believe the Crown Prince can handle it. Your Highness doesn't need to worry so much."
Feng'er's eyes lit up. "Wow, you trust your father so much. It seems you two have a deep bond forged in adversity."
"Shh!" Lin Qingwan tried to cover his mouth, "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense."
