Confusion

"Are you trying to show off?" Qin Keqing thought.

She immediately rejected this possibility.

The reason was simple: If the other party used this method to show off to her, then it was considered showing off to the royal family.

A smart person wouldn't do such a thing!

Therefore, Qin Keqing raised her head and asked carefully, "Young Master Ling, your tea is really special!"

In response, the person chuckled. "It's delicious, right?"

"This is a gift from a... Um... friend of mine!"

"She said that it's a local specialty of her family. Whenever she sees that I like it, she would bring me some from time to time..."

Qin Keqing's eyes widened when she heard that.

"A friend... Do I have friends too? Was that some sort of threat? No!"

Qin Keqing shook her head!

This wasn't a threat!

Because the tone of a threat wasn't like this.

If you wanted to threaten someone, you had to at least be sarcastic.
