Chapter 789: The Dancer's Charm_1

A cup of clear tea was presented before Li Qing.

"Esteemed guest, please enjoy the tea," the girl said with a charming smile and asked again, "Would the guest need us to serve the tea?"

"That won't be necessary. I'm perfectly capable of holding a cup," Li Qing replied with a smile.

The fact that such a prominent family still practiced tea-serving customs like this was beyond his comprehension; he couldn't even imagine how one 'served' tea in that manner.

"Esteemed guest, perhaps you would allow us to serve you just this once. The head of the household has instructed us to take the utmost care of the guest without fail," the girl suddenly insisted, kneeling on one knee before Li Qing.

Li Qing frowned slightly at her action, "What is this about? It's just drinking tea, how else do you plan to serve it? Surely you're not going to feed me mouth to mouth?"

"If the esteemed guest has such a request, naturally that could be arranged as well," the girl said somewhat shyly.
