Faced with Ming Kai's direct invitation, Qiu Zi also directly expressed her refusal.
"I think I'll pass. I'm just a small-time doctor at the hospital; it's not appropriate for me to attend such an event." Qiu Zi felt a bit awkward, truly unable to understand why Ming Kai would invite her to attend?
Actually, Ming Kai had his own reasons for wanting to bring Qiu Zi to such an occasion. He intended to introduce Qiu Zi to his parents at an important event.
However, Qiu Zi didn't want to go, and her refusal was quite clear, which left Ming Kai feeling half-defeated. It seemed that Qiu Zi still viewed him purely as a colleague or a boss, rather than as a man.
Seeing the subway station right ahead, Ming Kai tentatively suggested, "How about I drive you home? It's not very safe to take the subway at this hour."
