JINGLE!
The brass wind chime hanging in the upper-right corner of the doorway let out a soft sound!
After pushing open the main door, Hu Qi walked off into the distance.
Before long, the bustling street swallowed him whole, his figure vanishing at the far end of the road.
Inside the restaurant.
After Hu Qi's figure had completely disappeared, a strange glint flashed through Lilia's eyes.
She rose from her seat, smoothed out her skirt, and prepared to leave.
However.
As she reached the restaurant's entrance, a male employee in a uniform suddenly blocked her path.
"Miss."
The employee wrung his hands, looking away awkwardly.
Lilia's brow furrowed.
She followed the employee's indicated gaze.
It was the same table by the wall where the two of them had just been sitting.
A half-finished glass of red wine still sat on the table, gleaming with a deep red luster under the light.
At the same time.
The employee's voice reached her.
