Ao Qi, who had been kneeling and drinking tea, hastily rose and made his obeisances as soon as he saw the two, saying, "I have just caused trouble for the two of you, Ao Qi is truly ashamed, I apologize here for the inconvenience."
The young waiter quickly closed the door to the private room and withdrew.
Bai Ruozhu returned the courtesy, saying, "Not at all, I should also thank the young master's grandmother for that brooch."
Jiang Yichun also made a gesture with his hands, saying, "It wasn't a disturbance."
As they spoke, the two sat down, and Ao Qi courteously poured tea for them both. Bai Ruozhu smelled it cautiously—there was no problem.
"I never expected to meet someone in the Western Regions who was fated with my grandmother. May I ask what brings you here?" He drew out his words, clearly aware of Bai Ruozhu's identity.
