While Qiao Xuan wasn't concerned about people accusing her of jealousy, a bit of apprehension lingered in her mind.
Regrettably, she had to reluctantly shelve her short-term plans for now. Once the current matter was resolved, she would arrange another trip before the New Year.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Shao Yunduan couldn't help but chuckle. He playfully pinched her cheek and reassured her with a gentle smile, saying, "Don't worry, I'll accompany you before the New Year. We can enjoy the early autumn scenery by the South River, and if we're quick, we might set off in late autumn."
Qiao Xuan's face brightened with happiness. "That sounds wonderful! Jiangnan must have its own unique charm in the early autumn and winter!"
And, not to mention, there should be plenty of crabs!
