In Nangong Yi's eyes, Caiwei's actions counted as intimate contact with him, and she was effectively his woman. She had no other choice but being his wife. However, the fact that his woman, especially the one he was emotionally drawn to, was so close to another man and even intended to break free from him to embrace someone else was something he could not tolerate.
However, in Caiwei's view, the man's reasoning was nothing more than remnants of feudal thought, a mental shackle the old society used to oppress a multitude of women, which she would not yield to or tolerate, let alone when it came from him!
Caiwei scoffed: "We've already discussed this topic last night. I'll reiterate one last time—I, Mu Caiwei, would rather marry a farmer and hunter than marry a trash like you. Give up any hope at once! Go do something beneficial!"
