"Mr. Zhou!"
Zhou Jingren shook the Grand Duke's hand as he smiled. "Your highness."
"Please… you and Lily just keep on calling me Your highness when I already told you countless times to call me uncle. We are family." The grand duke returned a smile as he gestured for Zhou Jingren to sit down. "Please… let's treat each other as family."
Sitting on the chair opposite to the Duke, Zhou Jingren nodded. He eyed the entire office and was easily impressed by the decorations on the wall that perfectly depicted the history of the small but beautiful country.
"We have been through a lot." The Duke smiled, eyeing the same statues that Zhou Jingren was looking at. "And we are proud of that."
"You should be." Zhou Jingren said.
"So… I assume you didn't just come here tonight ahead of your schedule because you wanted to chat about our history?"
