Moving on (2)

Xiaoshi saw Lanni off when she was done discussing with Han Xichen. She was holding Yue in her arms and after hugging Lanni and kissing her cheek, she held up the little girl's hand to help her wave goodbye to Lanni. "Thanks for dropping by. But why did you insist on not staying for dinner? I was preparing to bring out my best culinary skills." She asked. She had overheard Han Xichen ask her to stay for dinner, but her response was that she had to leave.

Lanni was glad that they were willing to invite her so cordially and would have stayed if she could. "I promised Xiehan to make him his favorite meal. He will be unhappy if I don't." She explained, and they giggled at how Xiehan would probably complain like a little boy if she didn't make his dinner when he was expecting it.
