Jiang Qianqian caught him looking at her and flashed him a bright smile.

Wu Hao remained expressionless and quickly withdrew his gaze. Switching his phone to silent mode, he intimately leaned toward Xu Wennuan's ear and murmured, "I need to go answer a call. It's Master Lee."

"Okay." Xu Wennuan nodded her head in agreement as she took a bite off her slice of watermelon.

Wu Hao reached his arm out and stroked her hair before rising and walking out of the banquet hall.

Jiang Qianqian, too, rose from her seat but went in the opposite direction toward the bathroom.

Shortly after, Wu Hao returned to the hall and walked back to his table. Instead of sitting, he bent down and wrapped Xu Wennuan in his arms, whispering, "Master Lee needs to see me for something unexpected that's come up. I may need to return to town."

Wu Hao paused briefly before continuing. "Keep enjoying yourself here with Xiao'ai. I'll pick you up after I'm done, okay?"
