In this chapter, we learn that Candide's sister, Susan, was introduced to Candide at a perfume-seminar, and that her brother, Cai Ming-liang, has always been interested in perfume. When Candide asks why she thinks her brother dated Susan, she replies that they had "any conflicts" when they were "together" and that Cai thought it best for him to "sit" in the company of a woman who did not quarrel. She then asks Candide if there is any love between lovers who do not quarrel, and he replies that there is. He then tells her that she is the first person to make him "confused," and that she should not try to avoid him. He tells her to remember that he is not an outsider and that he will not interfere in her work. He also asks her if she likes her for who she is, and she responds that she does.
