493 Partnership (2/2)

”Yes...”

”What do you want?” Feng Lian asked in a low voice. Her voice was slightly trembling but she pretended to be brave and ask, ”Why me?”

The man laughed in a low voice. ”My master wants something and it seems... our goal is the same as you...”

”What goal?” Feng Lian pretended to be oblivious, however, there was a hint of excitement in her voice that couldn't be concealed by her.

The man knew that this woman had taken the bait. Well... this stupid woman would certainly help him a lot. ”You want the man and my master wants the woman... Don't you think it's a good coincidence? It's a win-win situation for both of us.”

Feng Lian squinted her eyes. ”Why should I trust you?”

The man laughed. ”It's up to you. It's just an offer from me so that I could finish my task easier with your help. If you don't want to do it, it's fine for me anyway.” After saying that, the man turned around.

Feng Lian was dumbfounded. He was going to leave her just like that?! She thought that he needed her! She gritted her teeth and called out, ”Wait!”

The man paused for a little while before walking again.

”I'll do it!” Feng Lian said. ”What do you want me to do? I need to hear it first.” She asked cautiously.

”Sure!” The man answered.

He talked for quite some time when Feng Lian's previous fear was gone. Her lips slightly curled up --- it seemed like she liked the plan that she had just heard.

The man asked, ”What do you think?”

Feng Lian answered without a second thought, ”It's a deal!”

That night, she went back home with a better mood. Ying Ying felt curious about it because this was the first time she saw her sister smile, however, the latter just glared at her and said nothing. The former could only give up asking. In Feng Lian's mind, her family was a disappointment --- they didn't want to help her to get her wish.

Thus, she would try to get it herself --- with that person's help.
