At a café. The conversation was good but it ends here: she is packing up, or you have decided not to ask for anything.

Why it works
Leaving on a good wish, with nothing asked in return, is what makes her glad to recognise you if you cross paths in this café again. And you will: people here have their café.
The mistake to avoid
If she is visibly older it is Chúc chị một ngày vui nhé. Getting the pronoun wrong on your last sentence signs your exit with the one note she will remember.
What she says back, and what to do next
- Dạ, anh cũng vậy nha.Could go either way
You too.
→ Smile, nod, and go. It is a clean ending, do not try to reopen it.
- Anh đi rồi hả? Cho em xin Zalo đi.Green light
You're leaving? Give me your Zalo.
→ Give it simply, with no comment and no air of victory. She is the one who asked.
- Dạ.That's a no
Mm.
→ You leave. The single syllable is the entire answer.
