Hate surged within Mr. Chen's heart. His lifetime of a good reputation was now being ruined by Ming Mei. Today's incident couldn't be revealed under any circumstances.
Ming Mei stood up, straightening her dress as she declared in one breath, "I won't go..."
Kang Chen took a deep breath; his demeanor quickly turned cold and distant. "Then you'll have to live with your regret."
Ming Mei felt a chill run down her spine under Kang Chen's stare, but she absolutely couldn't back down now. "It's leaving that I would regret."
The night breeze swept through, ordinarily refreshing and comforting. But under Kang Chen's gaze, Ming Mei felt goosebumps start to rise on her arms.
Kang Chen's lips curved upward in a rare smile, a spectacle like the Northern Lights piercing the night sky, stunning yet chilling. "I gave you an opportunity, it's you who don't want it."
Ming Mei paused, "You..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Kang Chen had already turned and left.
