There's no sign of them wanting to leave at all...
Zhou Huaiyi was almost done eating, and she'd also helplessly downed a few beers. Now her belly was round and full, competing with Old Wu's seemingly hefty beer belly.
So she sat in her seat, pondering how to find an excuse to leave early.
Coincidentally, just as she was about to get up to go to the restroom, her phone rang in her pocket.
Zhou Huaiyi took it out and glanced at it; it was Xiang Qichen calling.
Taking advantage of the commotion, Zhou Huaiyi quietly grabbed her bag and slipped off to the restroom.
She hurriedly answered, feeling a bit guilty for leaving without saying goodbye.
"Qi Chen..."
"Still at the dinner?"
It was very quiet on the other end, as was his voice.
Zhou Huaiyi took a few breaths to calm herself and replied, "Yeah, are you done?"
"Yeah." He responded softly, his gentle voice showing no emotion, "Where are you? I'll come pick you up."
