The other party rejected him twice in a row, so Cao Yanhua was too embarrassed to continue inviting her for dinner. He could only nod. "Alright, next time."
"Mm."
The girl responded, Then, she noticed Ji Ziyin was still standing there. Without much of a change in expression, she pulled the strap on her shoulder and said to the two of them, "Senior Brother Cao, go ahead. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll leave first."
"Why don't I send you out?" Cao Yanhua was still feeling guilty about what had happened and took the initiative to suggest it.
However, Qiao Nian declined. "There's really no need.
You guys chat."
Then, she left.
Xue Zhu, Xu Yi, and Shen Qingfeng also said goodbye to Cao Yanhua and quickly followed her.
Moreover, like Qiao Nian, the three of them pretended not to see Ji Ziyin and left without even greeting her politely.
Ji Ziyin endured it again and again, and her expression finally changed a little.
However, she was extremely good at enduring and would not show her emotions on her face. After they left, she pretended to ask casually, "Senior Brother Cao, do you have an appointment tonight?"
Cao Yanhua did not expect this batch of newcomers to have such strong personalities. After watching them leave, he retracted his gaze and scratched his head. He answered her awkwardly, "No. I wanted to invite Qiao Nian and the others for a meal to welcome them. It's considered their first day in the Level 8 laboratory, but she's meeting someone else today. I can only postpone it."
He spoke simply and did not mention what had happened. He also did not say that he had neglected them in the lounge for the entire day.
Ji Ziyin could not maintain her smile upon hearing this.
She lowered her eyes slightly, her thick eyelashes trembling. Then, she chuckled and whispered, "That's a pity."
She did not know who Qiao Nian was going to meet with tonight. She only felt that the other party was a little too stupid!
