"It's nothing, I just don't want to go," Xu Zhen replied somewhat perfunctorily.
Indeed, he had decided not to go after noticing something was off with Xu Jinzhi.
However, he couldn't just tell Xu Jinzhi directly, as she would surely overthink it.
After a brief silence, Xie Yanchuan took the initiative to say, "Then today, join us at the Xie family's old house for the New Year celebration."
Xu Zhen didn't really mind spending the new year alone, as he didn't think spending it alone was necessarily a sad affair.
But if he didn't agree, Xu Jinzhi would surely have something to say, and wasn't he staying because of Xu Jinzhi?
So, Xu Zhen didn't hesitate for too long before he agreed.
There was nothing much left for Xu Jinzhi to say.
However, on the way back, Xu Jinzhi couldn't help but ask Xie Yanchuan, "Why did Dad suddenly decide not to go?"
Xu Jinzhi frowned slightly, her face full of confusion, as if she was completely out of the loop, unaware that she was the reason.
