She raised her eyes, her eyes full of a stubborn glint: "Do you agree to cooperate with me?"
Sima Shaoyu's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, and his tone was blunt: "What else do you have now?"
Wen Luoxin said, "I can enter and leave the palace at will. Is that enough? However, I have more cards up my sleeve than just that."
