Wu Zhang felt dejected hearing her rejection. "Why can't you live with me?"

"I have many reasons." She looked at her lap while answering.

"It's a long drive, I am all ears." He said lazily.

Song Jia took a deep breath before answering, "I don't think it is right..."

Wu Zhang extended his arm and held her chin to lift up her face and made her look in his eyes, "Speak the truth Jia, we both know this is not the real reason."

Song Jia's mouth gaped open, he was indeed correct, this was not the real reason. But. How. Does. He. Know??

Wu Zhang looked unfazed, he just kept observing her reactions without saying anything. His gaze was kind of pressurising her to speak and when she could not take it anymore she decided to finally speak up, "Wu Zhang, I- I want to bring Meimei and Xiao Fang with me. I can't let them live them on their own. They are too young."
