"Dr. Mai, this woman is mentally ill, don't bother with her," Lin Qing reassured from the side.
Mai Xiaomai gave a rueful smile, "She isn't entirely wrong, I do indeed still feel guilty towards her, even though things didn't unfold as I had originally intended."
Initially marrying Qiao Chutian, she had never intended to usurp his affections, his heart.
She was forced into the marriage, as was Qiao Chutian.
But affection sparked between them beyond her control.
"Dr. Mai, have you divorced? Why?" Lin Qing asked with concern.
Only now did he understand why she suddenly wanted to go to the United States for further study.
"Special circumstances."
Mai Xiaomai and Lin Qing were not yet friends who shared deep bonds, and she didn't wish to delve much into Yali's affairs.
Seeing that she didn't divulge more, Lin Qing stopped asking and bowed his head to eat.
Mai Xiaomai also ate.
After eating in silence, they got up and said goodbye.
