The reason Xue Yuanqing said that was because his car could only seat five people. Now they had six, which was one person too many. It wasn't appropriate to make any one of them go back alone, so he came up with a solution: he would just take a taxi back himself.
"Dad, there's no need. Si Wen is going to the hotel; she isn't coming with us."
"Nonsense. Since she's your friend, how can you let her stay at a hotel after she's come all this way?"
"Uncle, I didn't bring anything with me today. I'll definitely visit another day."
"We're all friends here; there's no need to bring anything. You should come back with them, and I'll head back later."
If only I'd known. Driving our own Wuling would have been so much more convenient. It has more seats, and it's a solid, reliable car. This BMW might be nice, but something feels lacking when I'm holding the steering wheel.
"No, no, Uncle, I have other things to take care of today. I'll definitely visit another time."
