If Uncle Man was going back, he could come pick up the child the next day.
Only then did the two elders get a chance to scold Uncle Man for not inviting Li Yan and Master Xiao to come back with them.
Uncle Man was a little dazed.
Compared with the two elders, he was even less familiar with Li Yan and Master Xiao.
It had never occurred to him to invite two people he didn't know well to the child's birthday party.
They weren't close enough for him to make such an invitation.
Of course.
If the two elders had told him beforehand, he definitely would have invited them.

It wasn't that they hadn't wanted to stay.
Master Xiao had something to do.
He couldn't exactly tell the elder outright
