บท 553: I don't want to go anymore

The atmosphere in the small car became ambiguous and subtle.

Suddenly, Mo Xiuchen's phone rang abruptly, breaking their intense gaze. With furrowed brows, he took his hand off Wen Ran's shoulder, pulled out his phone, saw the caller ID, and said in a low voice, "Ranran, Ah Kai is urging us."

Wen Ran pursed her lips, which were still warm from his touch, and mentally steadied herself before quietly saying, "I don't want to go anymore."

"Okay!"

Pain flickered in Mo Xiuchen's eyes.

He knew she didn't want her father and brother to see her tear-streaked face. Gu Kai and Wen Jin would notice she had been crying as soon as they saw her.

He pressed the answer key, his voice somewhat hoarse as he said, "Ah Kai, Ranran and I won't be joining. You guys go ahead."

"Why?"

Across multiple car spaces, Gu Kai sat in his own car. Hearing Mo Xiuchen's words, he furrowed his brows, reached over to open the car door, and was ready to get out.

"Ah Kai, there's no need to come over."
