Qin Jiuge raised the corners of his lips slightly and ordered someone to serve new tea: "Lord Qi is so thoughtful, it reminds me of something."
"I heard that Lord Qi already has a family?"
Qi Che's face darkened, as if he had endured a lot of grievances and said, "Your Highness, I am ashamed to say this..."
