When the madam walked away, Duan Yunfei looked at Le Zhao and asked, "Just now, what did that old woman say? And who were you warning?"
"A low-ranking official you've never met. According to that old woman, Qian Liuyun's service contract is expiring. He's preparing to leave, but that person won't allow it, wanting to redeem Qian Liuyun. Yet Qian Liuyun claims he's only selling his art, not his person."
Le Zhao chuckled, "I have a friendly acquaintance with Qian Liuyun, so I can't just watch him fall into the hands of scoundrels, right?"
Xuan Ying raised an eyebrow, "Is this your tender-heartedness?"
"Of course not." Le Zhao leaned closer and laughed softly, "If there's any empathy, it's for you. Why should I care about others?"
Xuan Ying shoved him away, "Get lost—"
Le Zhao chuckled lightly but didn't tease further.
Shen Qinglan's eyes suddenly brightened, "Qian Liuyun's service contract is expiring?"
Doesn't that mean she can openly poach him?
