Chapter 64: I am not weak.
But Mei Mei was not one of those ordinary people, she continued walking, only to stop when one royal agent intercepted her.
"Get out of my way." She snapped, trying to walk around him but another agent joined, signalling that she should return to the table.
Mei Mei, whose eyes were burning turned and looked at Junjie. "You always do this--you must have your way in every argument. Well I won’t let you win this one and the only words I want to hear from you are ’I am sorry and I am removing my nose from your private affairs."
Junjie’s eyes narrowed, he smiled but the smile did not reach his eyes. It just drew his mouth into a tight line. "And you always do this--you just have to make everything impossible. I say go left, you go right. When I say its black you say its white. Not everything needs to be complicated Mei Mei."
"I agree on that." Mei Mei laughed bitterly. "My divorce is one of those things that don’t need to be complicated. Raise your hands if you have complicated it." She looked out dramatically.
Of course there was no raised hand in the room but they all knew that the one responsible for making her divorce somewhat complicated was the emperor who kept hoping that she would delay it and continue acting as a happy couple with Mo Liang. He had gone so far as to have her kidnapped so that she could attend a funeral with Mo Liang.
Junjie opened his mouth to protest but stopped. Maybe she was right. If he had not intervened right from the beginning, maybe the ink would already be dry on those divorce papers by now.
"This is probably the worst fight we have ever had in twenty seven years of friendship." Junjie sighed. "When we last met we were fighting about Mo Liang and now we are seeing each other after so long and still, we are fighting about him."
It worried him what this fight could lead to. Even though they had been out of contact for many years, he still regarded her as one of his closest friends. He did not want this matter to break apart what had been built a long time ago.
Silence stretched between them, long and unbearable. Mei Mei made no response to Junjie’s last statements. It seemed. this fight had landed them nowhere. They were right back to where they started, only angrier with even more misunderstandings.
"Move." Mei Mei shoved the royal agent.
This was the same royal agent that seemed to have a chip on his shoulder whenever he saw her. From the time Junjie had arrived, this royal agent had glared at Mei Mei more than a few times.
When she shoved him, he responded physically, raising a hand to hit her. Mei Mei reacted quickly, activating the boxing skills that the system had given her. She sidestepped effortlessly, delivering a swift uppercut to the jaw of the agent that sent his sprawling.
She over heard Junjie yelling at his agents to stop the one that hit her. The man was determined to teach her a lesson because he did not stay down, he was already charging toward her.
Someone pulled on Mei Mei’s arm, she elbowed them in the ribs and gestured at the agent to keep coming. He could not because two other agents were holding him back.
The others were rushing to aid the emperor who was keeled over, moaning in pain. He was the unfortunate victim of Mei Mei’s elbow.
"She hit the emperor, get her." The agent she had beaten shouted.
None of the other agents moved however, they were waiting for the emperor’s instructions. So far the only instruction he had given them was to apprehend one of their own. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Mei Mei turned around and she looked at Junjie who was standing behind her. She smiled and said, "Last week, Mo Liang nearly broke my arm at the funeral you forced me to attend. I have been brushing up on my self defense skills since then. The next time he touches me or Mingzhu, you will have to exhibit the natural teeth of the national space pilot on television."
Loudly, she exhaled and said. "I am not weak Junjie, I was temporarily asleep but now I am awake. I don’t care who it is, if anyone tries to harm me and my child I will break them in half. I am giving you one last chance, if you protect Mo Liang again, there will be no way back for us. It will be the end of our friendship and relationship between our families."
She left, just like that and Junjie and his men followed her. They did not continue the tour but left The Hollow immediately. Before their flying cars departed, Junjie had already fired the royal agent that tried to hit Mei Mei. Not only had he taken liberties and made assumptions but he had also almost laid a hand on his friend.
If she did not dodge his palm and punch him, it would have been really bad for her. Junjie had not yet imagined what the Jun or Chi families would have done if one of his royal agents beat up Mei Mei.
At the space camp, Mei Mei had just ducked into a bathroom to have a moment to breathe and gather herself. She was vibrating with anger and she did not want Mingzhu to meet her like this. Not just Mingzhu but other parents and their children, potential clients.
She thought she was alone, but she was not. Someone wrapped their arms around her waist from behind and hugged her. Over time, through the years, she had become familiar with Mo Jingzhe’s soft powdery fragrance that smelled like irises.
It did not surprise her that he was hugging her. Every time he got a chance lately, he found a reason to hug her. In the morning before breakfast today, he had added sniffing her to the list of liberties he was taking.
She drew in a deep breath and opened her eyes. They were standing near the bathroom countertop, in front of one of the mirrors.
"What are you doing in here?" she asked.
"I followed you." he answered honestly. Both of his hands tightened around her waist. "Mei Mei, did that silly emperor do something to annoy you? Is he still determined to protect Mo Liang? Did he tell you to delay your divorce again for the sake of national affairs?"
Jingzhe had already acquired a full map of the royal palace. He would sneak inside and give the emperor a few slaps in the night. Maybe he could take some humiliating pictures and send them to the peep star. Mei Mei was his, if he could not protect her from the emperor, he would be failing in his duty.
He considered giving his mother-in-law a call. Maybe she she could give him some advice.
