Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 429 - 428: I Didn’t Make Fun of Him

"Come to me," Shen Qinglan said, "Wind and Moon Song, Jianghu Song, you may sing them all."

Now that we’ve entered a different time and space, why not share these wonderful songs with the world?

Qian Liuyun said, "But Liuyun has already decided to retire."

He entered the Ruyun Pavilion at fourteen, and now, five years have passed. After struggling in this filthy place for so long, he has long seen the ugliness of human hearts.

Now, all he wishes is to retrieve his indenture contract, leave this dirty place, find a tranquil spot to wash away the filth, and lead a peaceful, leisurely life.

"You love singing songs, and you want to sing the stories within them to others," Shen Qinglan said, "Without finding a kindred spirit, wouldn’t you feel regret leaving like this?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Qian Liuyun looked at her in surprise, "How did you know I love singing?"

Shen Qinglan said, "I’m just casually guessing."

Qian Liuyun: ...

Duan Yunfei chuckled softly, "It’s not nice to tease others like this!"

"I wasn’t teasing him," Shen Qinglan defended herself, "My intuition tells me he just loves playing and singing."

"Indeed!" Qian Liuyun said, "I do love playing and singing, but I don’t like being bound."

Back then, if it weren’t for my father being momentarily foolish, deceived into accruing huge debts, I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

"I won’t restrict your freedom; I will even grant you half a month’s leave every month," Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows, "How about it?"

"When the contract expires, won’t it be akin to leaving empty-handed?" Duan Yunfei said indifferently, "Having led a life of luxury, can he truly adjust to having nothing?"

People say they can, but how many can actually do it?

Qian Liuyun paused slightly, then smiled, "What does it matter? No matter how splendid a cage is, it’s still a cage. If I have to trade my remaining life’s freedom for such a life, I’d rather embrace poverty."

"You have ambition!" Lan Ruo said, "But our Qinglan is a fortunate person—being with her, things will definitely get better for you!"

Hearing this, Qian Liuyun looked towards Shen Qinglan, "May I ask, besides wealth, what else can you offer me?"

Shen Qinglan said, "Reputation, a different kind of reputation than what you have now."

Although Qian Liuyun is quite famous now, this fame... it’s best left unsaid.

"A different kind of reputation?" Qian Liuyun curled his lips, "Then Liuyun will wait and see."

Shen Qinglan was delighted, "Are you agreeing?"

"Yes! But Liuyun hopes that what the lady has said will be fully realized."

"Of course!" Shen Qinglan said, "I will draft the contract; you can review it at that time, and if you’re dissatisfied, you can voice it out."

"Contract?" Qian Liuyun furrowed his brows, "Could it be another indenture contract?"

"No!" Shen Qinglan said, "This time, the contract is called an equal partnership."

"What is an equal partnership?"

Qian Liuyun was confused, and the others were curious too.

Shen Qinglan said, "It means our status is equal; I’m your employer, but if I don’t perform well, you can suggest improvements. Of course, if your work doesn’t meet my expectations, I will reprimand you. Do you understand?"

Qian Liuyun nodded slightly upon hearing this, "I roughly understand!"

"May I ask, when does Qian Liuyun’s indenture contract expire?" Shen Qinglan said, "I’ll have someone come to Ruyun Pavilion to pick you up by then."

"No need!" Qian Liuyun said, "The indenture contract will expire in a few days; you just need to leave an address, and Liuyun will come to find you."
