In the end, Bai Luoying boarded Lu Xingyuan's train without a hitch.
That meant if Lu Xingyuan wanted to do anything to her, she would be powerless to resist.
After all, the Train Conductor ruled aboard his own train.
But Bai Luoying had never worried about that.
As far as she was concerned, Lu Xingyuan was a perfect gentleman.
Only a despicable scoundrel would do something like that.
(Gu Wanqing: Yes, yes, you're absolutely right!)
"Thank you, Lu Xingyuan..."
Once the train set off, Bai Luoying finally felt more at ease.
"No need to thank me. Just remember the terms you agreed to."

Besides... she didn't want Lu Xingyuan to see her looking like a mess.
"Hmm... ask me when you want to bathe. If circumstances allow, I'll let you."
Lu Xingyuan tossed Bai Luoying a walkie-talkie.
It was
