"What would a woman like you know about her huh?" Shao Hui continued angrily. "Yes, she has said a lot of things to hurt me and of course, she has raised her hand on me —but you know what I have raised my hands right back at her!"
"The two of us have hurt each other but my wife has changed her ways and she even forgave me for stabbing her," Shao Hui bit his bottom lip as the memory still brought quite some embarrassment and guilt in his heart.
He then raised his head and glared at Chen Han, "But you know what? No matter what my wife had done, at least she had never cut me off after hearing some stupid words spoken by others."
"You know what? You can go ahead and send those pictures to my wife. The only reason I was stopping you was because I thought and expected that my dear friend was still the same as she was when we were children."
"That you will one day stop doing what you are doing. Of course, I was nervous because there was a subtle doubt in my heart— but you know what, Chen Han? That doubt was regarding myself and not my wife."
"I didn't want to let her down even though she would have understood me, I didn't wish to be troubled because of me."
"Shao Hui! Do you even know what you are saying?" Chen Han asked with a look of disbelief on her face. "You —You ..are you not scared that I will really do it."
"That's what I am telling you, do it," Shao Hui sneered as he raised to his full height. "You want to ruin my career, sure go ahead with that too. I can't care less about that either." His dream of becoming an idol was indeed quite important but he was not going to divorce his wife.
She was the reason why he could even learn under Master Cai. He was never going to repay her grace with ingratitude.
With that his face relaxed, it seemed like the things that he was scared of were not as difficult to let go of as long as the person he had to let go of in exchange was Mo Qiang.
Shao Hui turned on his feet to walk away and Mo Qiang shifted further in the shadows when—
"Shao Hui!" Chen Han shouted as she reached forward and then took Shao Hui's wrist in her hand.
"Ah, young lady. You should let this mer go," one of the women who was sitting next to the table where Shao Hui and Chen Han were sitting.
She glanced at Shao Hui who was annoyed thoroughly and advised sensibly, "He doesn't seem to be interested in you, then you might as well let him go or else your friendship with him will suffer as well."
"She is right," a mer chimed from the side. "Isn't it good enough that you have him as your friend?"
A few more guests joined along as an old woman who was drunk hiccuped and stated, "Forceful love never wins, young miss. This mer has a wife—what do you think you're doing trying to win his favour?"
"Shut up!" Chen Han roared as her eyes turned red. "Shao Hui," she tightened her grasp on Shao Hui's wrist causing him to wince. "You need to think about this again, I am better than Mo Qiang in every way. She cannot give you anything."
