Finally, he abandoned his arrogance and asked in a low voice, "Is our deal still valid?"
Her father was injured when the Turks stole his horse, and overnight the pillar of the family collapsed. Her younger brother was too young to understand, so as the eldest sister, she had to stand up and shoulder the burden. Now that things had come to this, she could no longer be willful.
Unexpectedly, she adjusted her emotions so quickly, and Tianyun suppressed his surprise.
She looks much cuter now than when she was being aggressive.
Tianyun raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Of course it counts." This trip has truly been very beneficial.
The young woman emerged looking utterly exhausted, while Shangguan Tianyun appeared completely at ease. The maid was bewildered; this was a far cry from the scene she had imagined!
With the help of the maid, Guan Yuwei straightened her back, took a deep breath, and gritted her teeth as she squeezed out a sentence: "No matter what, I have kept my promise, and you should not forget what you promised me!"

"Let's stop here. Miss would like to get out and walk around." Lingqi carefully helped the girl down from the carriage and instructed the coachman, "You can go back to your residence first. You don't need to wait here."
The driver bowed and replied "Yes," then took the reins and drove off.
