Bab 226: I will return everything to you.

"Woman, are you still unclear of your standing? Do I have to remind you of your status for you to know what you can do and cannot do?"

"My status? What is my status? You tell me what my status is!"

Her extreme indignation propelled her to shoot back at him aggressively. She seemed to realize the meaning behind his words as she tugged his sleeves with both her hands. In a trembling voice, she continued, "Do you mean that I'm… your lover, your woman, and your belonging? Are you referring to these three when you talked about status?"

He stared at her coolly and expressionlessly, as though admitting to her interrogation.

She coolly burst into laughter all of a sudden.

"Mu Yazhe, you are too much! Who do you think I am, and what do you treat me as? Your toy and your belonging? Someone who's at your beck and call?!"

"Isn't it so?" the man frostily retorted. He had obviously been antagonized by her based on his angry look.
