Gazing at the dilapidated streets on either side, Xu Yuan pulled on the reins and quietly asked Li Qingyan,
"Qingyan, why must we stay in Northern Border City?"
Li Qingyan, dressed in a wrapped-chest black garment, looked back with a teasing tone,
"What, is our Third Young Master so eager to return to the Imperial Capital and marry me?"
Xu Yuan chuckled and replied without hesitation,
"Don't make promises here that you can't fulfill. Commitments that can't be kept become shackles, and I've yet to see you fulfill any promises you made this month."
As he said that,
he whispered cajolingly,
"Tsk, tsk, keep your word, Li Qingyan."
