The police officer next to Ming Mei felt it hard to believe that a pampered lady of luxury like her could actually eat the meal they themselves found unpalatable. They had assumed that Ming Mei would definitely be finicky and complain about the food not being good.
After Ming Mei finished eating, the police officer said, "Someone wants to see you."
Ming Mei knew who it was and said dispassionately, "I won't see them."
"It's... Mr. Chen, you won't see him either?"
Ming Mei shook her head: "Tell him that I'm fine, and he doesn't need to come to see me anymore. There's no need for us to meet."
The person having the hardest time right now, she knew, was Kang Chen, not her, because she had already given everything up.
But Kang Chen couldn't just let go; she had had a good night's sleep, whereas he must have been up all night.
Ming Mei didn't want to make it difficult for Kang Chen either, but what's done is done, and she had gone this far; there was no turning back.
