An Mengyao lifted her head in surprise, looking seriously at Chen Kai. However, her eyes dimmed instantly, indicating a struggle in making a decision. Chen Kai thought it was a girl's customary reserve, so he smiled at her while patiently waiting.
An Mengyao opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent, adding to Chen Kai's confusion.
But before he could speak, a man in his thirties suddenly entered.
He didn't even glance at Chen Kai properly but looked directly at An Mengyao, smiling as he spoke.
"It's time for lunch. I knew you hadn't left yet, so I purposely came to invite you."
Chen Kai thought this man looked vaguely familiar despite never meeting him before based on his confident memory, prompting him to look at An Mengyao quizzically.
An Mengyao forced a smile.
