"But… in all honesty," Lian Cheng paused, sipping the tea and enjoying its fresh and lightly sweet taste, "I never thought you would like this kind of tea. I thought you preferred something lighter, something… from this humble one's homeland, such as jade bamboo tea," Lian Cheng said with a smile.
Mo Xingyao's eyes sharpened.
