Chuxia glanced at Ye Meiru expressionlessly, then turned to Jing Zhe, "Brother, don’t you think this woman is strange? I’m just here to see my own husband, and she has to meddle. Brother, you’re a doctor, do you think there’s something wrong with her mind?"

Jing Zhe affectionately tousled Chuxia’s hair, "Silly girl, you’re almost a doctor too. Have you never heard of a disease called jealousy?"

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Chuxia nodded repeatedly, "How could I forget about that, brother, it seems I still haven’t been studying hard enough."

"Mhm, you need to work harder in the future."

"I will."

"..."

The two of them chatted and walked up to Zhou Mikang’s office. Chuxia took out the key from her pocket and handed it to Jing Zhe. As the door opened, Jing Zhe carried a thermos out, while Chuxia was busy brushing cups and washing the teapot...

It’s... so bullying! Ye Meiru was so angry she felt like her lungs were going to explode. If anyone said these two weren’t purposely performing for her to see, she wouldn’t believe it even if they killed her!

"Hey, how did you get the keys to Zhou Mikang’s office? Do you know that what he’s doing is against the rules? He could be demoted for this!"

Chuxia leisurely continued brushing the cups, not sparing Ye Meiru a glance, let alone a word.

"Lin Chuxia, are you just going to ruin Zhou Mikang like this?"

"..."

"Hey, are you deaf?"

"..."

The most infuriating method isn’t arguing with someone, but letting them rant alone while completely ignoring them. Chuxia applied this tactic very thoroughly.

Ye Meiru couldn’t stand it anymore. She looked around, rage building up from deep within, and grabbed a small trowel from the windowsill, hurling it at Chuxia...

The scene she imagined where the other person was bloodied by her assault didn’t occur. Her wrist was caught by a large hand, twisted and turned, and the trowel fell to the ground; she was pushed out the door.

Stunned, staring at the dark face in front of her, Ye Meiru was incredulous, "Ma Chao?"

"Yes." Ma Chao, who did not have a good impression of this former traitor who betrayed their boss, just nodded indifferently, not saying another word.

"What are you doing here?"

"No comment."

"Are you here to see your brother?" Ye Meiru’s tone suddenly warmed a lot, "Ma Chao, we haven’t seen each other for several years, Elder Sister really missed you."

Ma Chao frowned slightly but said nothing.

"Hey, whose elder sister are you?"

Jiang Qi burst out, his apricot eyes behind the glasses glaring round as ever, obviously angry, yet to others, it seemed almost adorable...

Chuxia bit her lip, trying hard not to laugh. After all, he was standing up for her, so she couldn’t be impolite.

"Jiang Qi?" Unlike recognizing Ma Chao at a glance, it took Ye Meiru quite a while to recognize Jiang Qi, "What are you doing here too?" The last part of her statement was said simultaneously by both, and as the words fell, Jiang Qi smirked, "Can’t you be a bit more original?"

"Aren’t you two supposed to be in the capital? Why have you come here?" Ye Meiru stared at them, "Didn’t Zhou Mikang leave you in the capital? I didn’t hear he transferred you here, how could you be here?"

"Can we not keep repeating ourselves?" Jiang Qi sighed, "Elder Sister Ye, we really don’t want to bring up what happened back then, and we don’t want to mention how much you harmed our boss, can you please stop slandering our boss?"

"When did I ever slander him?" Ye Meiru looked utterly baffled.

"Our sister-in-law is right here, and you calling yourself the sister-in-law, isn’t that slandering our boss?" Jiang Qi spread his hands, "Ma Chao may be taciturn, but I am not, anyone who dares to slander our boss is picking a fight with me."

"Heh heh..." Ye Meiru gave him a coquettish glance, "Didn’t you say I’ll always be your elder sister? Why do you deny it now?"

"Back then I was young and didn’t know people well, what I said doesn’t count." Jiang Qi waved his hand, glancing at Zhou Mikang approaching from afar, he grabbed Ma Chao, "Boss is coming, let’s go deal with our official business at the Division Commander’s."

Ma Chao nodded hesitantly and then rushed toward the chair where Chuxia was sitting. With his large eyes blinking rapidly, he nodded at them and sprinted away as if he were flying.

"They used to be under Zhou Mikang, the kind with a life-or-death relationship. Every time they had a meal, Zhou Mikang always liked to call them to join.

Jiang Qi is a mischievous child, and Ma Chao is more honest, but both of them are especially obedient to me. They’ve done quite a bit of work for me, their elder sister, haha..."

As Ye Meiru rambled on, she sat down next to Chuxia, staring straight at her, "You, you will always be an outsider to our circle."

Chuxia stuck out her tongue and spread her hands, "I’m really sorry for making you feel so inferior. It’s all my fault, ah, how come I am so excellent?" Just then, Zhou Mikang appeared at the doorstep, and she waved her claw, "Honey, I’m too excellent. I’ve crushed this woman’s self-esteem to nothing, so, I can only play in circles with her here."

Her soft call of "Honey" made Zhou Mikang’s heart flutter several times, and a smile unconsciously spread across his lips. When he looked at Ye Meiru, his expression turned icy: "What are you doing here?"

His expression was thoroughly captured by Ye Meiru, and she felt her heart shatter. She looked at Zhou Mikang with tear-brimmed eyes, "What have I done to restore myself to you?

Zhou Mikang shook his head: "I don’t know. But what I do know is that I’ve already made things very clear to you, Ye Meiru. I warn you, if you bother my wife again with your nonsense, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

"You..." Ye Meiru’s tears streamed down her face, "For you, I married a man who was disfigured and disregarded by his family, and yet you treat me like this?

Zhou Mikang sat down next to Chuxia, raising his eyebrows at Ye Meiru: "Are you saying you married Huang Xinlong to help me?"

"You knew I married Huang Xinlong?" Ye Meiru stared at Zhou Mikang in shock, "You actually knew all along that I married Huang Xinlong?"

"Yes, I’ve known for a long time. Is there a problem?"

"Knowing that, you still treat me this way?" Ye Meiru’s finger trembled as she pointed at him, "A woman sacrifices her lifelong happiness for you, and not only are you ungrateful, but you also rub salt in her wounds. Is your heart made of iron?

Even a stranger should be grateful, let alone us, who were once intimate lovers. People say, ’One day as a couple brings an obligation for a hundred days.’ Moreover, we weren’t even a couple for a day, and you... you really are so heartless?"

"Tsk tsk..." Chuxia couldn’t help but smack her lips; this woman seemed truly desperate to say such things out loud.

Zhou Mikang looked at Chuxia: "I have no substantial relationship with her."

Chuxia comfortingly patted him: "I won’t fall for her tricks. Regardless of whether you have a substantial relationship with her, the fact now is that you are my husband. Don’t worry, haha."

"It’s truly nothing." Zhou Mikang frowned, "Don’t you believe me?"

"Believe! Believe! Of course, I believe!" Chuxia nodded like a pecking chicken, "That was just a metaphor. I’m saying I accept this situation completely. Of course, I believe you have no relation to her. I’m just trying to assure you." Saying this, she deliberately embraced Zhou Mikang’s arm and nuzzled him affectionately, "You only love me, I know."

"You... you..." Ye Meiru pointed at Chuxia, unable to speak, her mind in chaos. Marrying Huang Xinlong was supposed to make Zhou Mikang owe her for life. But seeing the current situation, he clearly didn’t care at all. Hadn’t she sacrificed herself for nothing?

Regardless of her past affairs with other men, without a marriage certificate, she was still an unmarried young woman. Now, if she split with Huang Xinlong, she would be officially a divorced woman.

Moreover, with the influential status of the Huang Family, if she divorced Huang Xinlong, who would dare marry her? Living a lonely life wasn’t what she wanted! Instantly, her face turned as gray as death.

When she was born, she was dark and skinny, not resembling either her father or mother. Until she was six, she was so ugly that even dogs wouldn’t spare her a glance.

At that time, boys in the yard, apart from Zhou Mikang, refused to play with her. Including Mei Yitong.

Then, from the age of six onward, she gradually became more attractive, her skin getting fairer and smoother.

Her mother said that many children are ugly in their childhood and become attractive when they grow up; she was typically one who was ugly in childhood and beautiful when grown.

By the time she was fourteen or fifteen, almost none of her male peers could resist liking her, and she thoroughly enjoyed that feeling. The feeling of being the center of attention.

Later, following her family’s wishes, she got engaged to Zhou Mikang. Back then, she truly thought she didn’t love him. She agreed to the engagement just because she was used to being with him, used to his tolerance and pampering, and also because of his childhood care and companionship.

After learning about her engagement to Zhou Mikang, many people stopped associating with her, including Mei Yitong who had a crush on her, who also backed off.

From being the center of attention to being utterly neglected made her feel incredibly empty and distressed. So, she tackled them one by one, telling both Mei Yitong and Wang Jie separately that she liked them, not Zhou Mikang.

She chose them because she had feelings for both, but she wasn’t sure which one she genuinely liked and wanted to use that to reassess her feelings and make her final choice.

As a result, Wang Jie wisely backed off. Mei Yitong faced the wind and stepped forward, but she discovered she had no feelings for him either...

In her quest for love, she ultimately embarrassed herself immensely...

Over the years, going through so much, she became very clear about who truly loved her and treated her well. Thus, even if it meant burning herself like a moth to a flame, she wanted to make Zhou Mikang change his mind and come back to her, but the result...
