Though Chen Kai knew Xiao Mi could never hurt him, seeing these eyes still made him involuntarily fearful, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Can we talk this out calmly, please? I know you lost your child, and I am responsible, but what could I have done in the heat of the moment?"
"Moreover, if you hadn't drugged that cup of tea, would that incident have even happened? So I don't want to say it's entirely your fault, let's just take half the blame each, okay? Then we're even."
Xiao Mi couldn't listen any longer; suddenly, she grabbed the fruit knife from the table and fiercely stabbed at Chen Kai.
"I'll kill you first."
Chen Kai could have dodged the knife, but he felt that if he didn't let Xiao Mi vent her rage, there was no way to proceed with the rest of their conversation.
He simply let her stab him, thinking that maybe if things escalated, Duan Mingyu would be willing to meet him.
