Qi Yue changed out of her lab coat and put on a clean set of sportswear before hailing a taxi to the restaurant.
When she arrived at the private room, her parents and Qi Zhen had already gotten there.
The three of them were chatting cheerfully about something, surrounded by laughter and banter.
The moment Qi Yue pushed the door open, the voices inside the room abruptly ceased, and the atmosphere plunged into awkwardness.
Qi Zhen was affectionately clinging to their mother's arm, acting coquettishly. Seeing Qi Yue coming in, her smile faded slightly, showing a touch of displeasure from being interrupted.
Their father, Qi Wanli, broke the silence, "Yueyue is here, come in quickly!"
Their mother also stood up, about to speak, but upon seeing Qi Yue's attire, she frowned slightly, "Yueyue, didn't I ask you to dress more appropriately? Why did you come dressed like this?"
