Shu'er heard the upward inflection in that "hmm" and knew Tang Zan was contemplating something complex.
She had just spoken in haste, wanting to give Tang Zan a sense of security.
After all, in this regard, Tang Zan truly excelled, so much so that there was nothing to criticize.
When women approached him to confess, they were deterred by his cold demeanor before they could even speak.
To be precise, Tang Zan met all women, except her and his family, with this simple and blunt coldness.
The reason Lin Shiyao was so brazen was because she understood the progression of events in this life, which made her fearless in clinging on.
Yet Tang Zan didn't show a hint of compassion.
Shu'er felt completely at ease regarding Tang Zan.
Hence, she wanted to provide him with enough sense of security.
Shu'er unsuccessfully resisted and was thoroughly teased by Tang Zan before he finally let her go.
