"You know perfectly well what Lin Yaru's intentions toward Jie Jingchen are. If you want to marry her, you have to move out of the house. My mother..."
"Did I want to marry her? If it weren't for you and Jing Si meddling, the one with her right now would be Jing Si, not me. And the one being threatened with divorce afterward would be him!" Jie Jingwei roared, interrupting Qin Mei.
"If Jie Jingchen had fallen for the trap, he would rather burn up with desire than touch Lin Yaru," Qin Mei said with absolute certainty. They had made thorough preparations. If Jie Jingchen really had been drugged, he would have taken the antidote she prepared for him. While it wouldn't neutralize the drug's effects, it would have kept him conscious enough to retreat completely unscathed. Once Jie Jingchen found her, she would be his cure. Of course, she wasn't going to tell Jie Jingwei any of this.
