"Mom..." Cheng Jiawen just opened his mouth to say something, but Xu's mother interrupted him and slowly explained: "You just separated this year. If you don't go back this year, it would be a bit inappropriate."
Cheng Jiawen knew the truth, but he simply didn't want to go back. He wanted to celebrate the New Year with his real family, which was such a happy occasion, and he didn't want to be forced to spend it with superficial relatives just because of some gossip from outsiders.
Xu's mother patted his hands and said gently, "It's okay. You can eat at Cheng's house first, and we can eat again when we come back. Besides, there will be so much time in the future. There's no need to fight for this moment."
