"No, we have a deal," Zhou Ling asserted firmly. "I will drive you home. If you want to help, please take care of this little one."

Lili persisted, insisting, "If you hand me over to the Elder Prince, he will undoubtedly trust you. That way, you'll have someone to rely on within the royal family and a chance to get closer to Earl Sam. He must know the whereabouts of Lady Liao."
