Halfway through his meal, feeling a suffocating sensation in his heart, he suggested it was time to leave.
"Ji Yao, I've finished eating, and I just remembered that I have some matters to take care of, so I'll head back first."
Ji Yao extracted herself from the company of three people next to her, giving him a look of surprise.
"You're leaving so soon? Why not sit for a little bit longer?"
Qi Huai'an really wanted to stay a little longer, but only if it was alone with Ji Yao.
Looking at Lu Jincheng, who didn't really get along with him, and the other two who were their offspring, he felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't bear to stay.
Watching the cozy family of four, what was he, a third wheel?
Qi Huai'an sighed inwardly, reluctantly suppressing the discomfort in his heart.
He forced a smile onto his face.
