Gu Yan gives the impression of still focusing on his phone, and indeed he is staring intently at it, but on the phone screen, apart from the reflection of his face, there's nothing but darkness.

The sound of a car approaching from afar comes from outside the villa.
Gu Yan squints, his somewhat deep baby face turning nonchalant. He stretches out from the sofa and says with a smiling face to several elders, "My buddy is here to pick me up. You all enjoy catching up, I'm leaving first."
Nie Xiaoxing looks at him, her brows still furrowed.
Yuan Xihuo's face drops slightly, muttering under her breath, "Outsiders only know I have a son, little do they know having a son or not doesn't make a difference! He's hardly ever home, and once he returns, he's in a rush to leave!"
"Empress Dowager, your words are too harsh. Haven't I always come running back the minute you call?" Gu Yan jokes with a cheeky smile.
Yuan Xihuo glares at Gu Yan with discontent.
