Su Qingci's mouth was dry. "Thank you, General Lu, for risking your life to save me today. How can I repay your kindness?"
Lu Huan opened his mouth but remained silent for a long moment. After some hesitation, he said, "My handkerchief got dirty just now."
Su Qingci reacted quickly, "Then I'll embroider a new one and give it to General Lu."

His voice faded away. "Don't worry, just do it first. When I need it, I'll come to you and get it."
After saying that, he left without looking back.

Now she changed her mind and thought that if she said this, Su Songqi would definitely be happy and would naturally relax his vigilance and would not think about how to push her to others.
