What triggered this change?

Mubai finally understood Chang An's earlier report.

Chang An mentioned the change in Xinghe, specifically her unwavering gaze that was hard to ignore.

Mubai had brushed it off then but now he understood what he meant.

Her eyes communicated an inner wealth of confidence and composure.

It was not something that could be faked, it was something like a natural born instinct…

Simultaneously, he saw something of himself reflected within her.

Mubai couldn't understand what had instigated this sudden change.

Regardless, it meant that he held her in a different light and treated her differently than before.

”This is what you're supposed to take from our divorce. I've personally brought it to you because I believe that is the respect you deserve. Please accept it.” Mubai took out a cheque and handed it to her respectfully. There was not a shred of condescension in his action.

Xinghe though didn't even look at the proffered cheque when she replied, ”Thank you but I don't need it.”

Mubai said with a raised brow, ”Whether you need it or not is your business but whether to present it to you or not is mine. I owe you this much. Take it or we'll never be even.”

In other words, he would keep harassing her if she didn't accept.

The old Xinghe wouldn't stand for it much less the new Xinghe.

To his satisfaction, Xinghe accepted his cheque. Before he could offer her a smile, Xinghe tore the cheque into pieces!

Everyone was shocked.
