"No, no. I have something else to talk about. Come out first, and I'll discuss it with you when we meet," Ran said to Chen.
"Alright. You're still at Eri's place right now, right?" Chen nodded and asked Ran.
"Yeah, I'm still at Mom's. Chen, are you free?"
"Since it's Ran asking, of course I'm free. Wait there, I'll come pick you up."
Chen smiled faintly as he spoke, preparing to pick Ran up and find out what exactly was going on.
Chen left home and headed straight to Eri Kisaki's house.
After he knocked on the door, Ran opened it. Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki were standing behind her.
When Eri saw Chen, her face flushed slightly, which struck him as odd. Why was Eri blushing while looking at him? Something was off.
"Eri, is something wrong?" Chen asked Eri.
"N-no, nothing," Eri immediately shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Seeing Eri shake her head, Chen did not ask further. Instead, he looked at Ran. Ran was the one who had called him over, yet he had no idea what she wanted.
Seeing Chen's questioning gaze, Ran's face also reddened slightly, leaving Chen thoroughly confused. There really seemed to be something wrong with both mother and daughter today.
"Chen, can we go out and talk?" Ran asked him.
"Of course. I have no objections." Chen nodded slightly at Ran.
"Oh? What is it? Is it something we can't know about?" Yukiko could not help teasing her.
Ran glanced at Yukiko. This really was something they could not know about.
"Ran is embarrassed, so stop teasing her," Eri said after glaring at Yukiko.
"Alright, then I won't tease Ran anymore. Have fun out there," Yukiko said, waving her hand.
With a red face, Ran pulled Chen away as
