Huangfu Yongxian was seated across from him, his expression still somewhat stern and respectful, as if he were attending a meeting.
Zhao Changhe found this attitude less comfortable than Cui Wenjing's readiness to lift his hand and slap someone; perhaps he was a glutton for punishment.
But he heard Huangfu Yong Feng say, "Your Highness... ah, Mr. Zhao does not wish to acknowledge his identity, is there a special reason for this? Or is it out of hatred or abandonment?"
That was Chichi...
Zhao Changhe's reluctance to acknowledge his identity stemmed from simpler reasons; first, he did not want to recognize someone else as his father, and second, he did not want to get involved in court affairs, the thought alone was enough to make one spit blood.
Ever since he felt that his path diverged from that of Xia Longyuan, he became even less willing. It was one thing to call someone 'father' on account of his father-in-law, but anything beyond that was out of the question.
