Shen Jun had already prepared himself for this. He gently held Wen Nian's hand, wearing a pitiful expression.
"Isn't today New Year's Eve? I've been here with you and Uncle all day. I'm so busy that I didn't even realize the time."
With a sad look, he continued, "Look, no one asked me to go home for a New Year's Eve dinner. No one even asked me. Look how pitiful I am. It's already so late. How about you let me stay for another day? At least I need to have a warm New Year's Eve dinner, right?"
Wen Nian wanted Shen Jun to go back and spend time with his family, especially on New Year's Eve. She didn't want to prevent the Shen Jun family from reuniting because of her family's issues. However, seeing Shen Jun's pitiful expression and realizing how late it was, Wen Nian's heart softened.
