Mu Qiubai stared at Ming Mei, in such a way as if her heart was genuinely pure without any filth. She said, "Young Madam, there's no need to target me like this. I've already left the army, and even if I wanted to see Mr. Chen, there would be no chance for me so. Moreover.... I'm not the kind of person who would become a mistress, even if I did harbor affections, I would not wreck another's family."
Ming Mei nodded, "Yes, yes, you're not the mistress kind, because deep down you aim to be the wife, don't you?"
To Ming Mei, Mu Qiubai was the type pouting highbrow innocence and serenity, airily detached, seemingly dismissive of everyone and everything, and yet her real intention was the total opposite. She desired too much. She claimed that her feelings for Kang Chen were nothing more than respect for her superior, yet she craved for Ming Mei's place by his side, hoping she could push Ming Mei away.
