Xu Chuning didn't reply to the message.
Saying no felt somewhat insincere, saying yes... seemed a bit too blunt.
Luckily, the person on the other side didn't seem in a hurry either, as he did not send any further messages.
After dinner, Xu Chuning chatted with her grandparents for a while. The elderly tend to sleep early, so after a short chat, Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang prepared to take them home first.
Before leaving, they reminded Xu Chuning, "Come home for meals when you're free."
Xu Chuning nodded: "Got it."
With several people leaving, the number of customers in the restaurant also decreased considerably.
You Shuzhen still had to finalize the end-of-day tasks at the restaurant. She looked at the sisters, "Ningning, do you want to go back with grandma first?"
Xu Chuning paused, then said after thinking, "Okay."
After agreeing to You Shuzhen, Xu Chuning messaged Shen Yubai: [We're getting ready to go home.]
Shen Yubai: [I'll be there in five minutes.]
