Chapter 817 This Joyous Time (2/2)
Yun Shang didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. She hurriedly said, ”These things have already been prepared. Your Highness, don't worry.”
Luo Qingyan was stunned. He raised his hand and scratched his head before saying, ”Thank you, Shang'er. I should have prepared these as a father, but I always couldn't stay with you and the baby and take good care of yo
