Yao Anqi stayed for dinner, but she did not say a word during the entire meal, unlike Mo Ziyan who talked endlessly.
A family like this was very warm, but Yao Anqi did not feel like it belonged to her, so her heart was elsewhere.
Tangning could tell that Yao Anqi was trying to keep her distance, but she did not force her to warm up to them. She may be distant the first time, but there was bound to be a second and third time. Eventually, she would change her image of the family.
After dinner, Yao Anqi decided to return home; she had already seen her son and achieved her motive, so she couldn't just stick around.
Mo Zixi knew it was impossible for her to stay, so he gathered his courage and said, "Can I take you home?"
"What do you mean, 'can I'? It's something you should do," Mo Ziyan lectured her brother.
Yao Anqi did not refuse. After saying goodbye to the Mo Family, she followed behind Mo Zixi and the two of them left together.
