Chapter 30: I will punch you at a funeral.
The mighty Little Peepstar: Funerals are places where the secrets of the dead are whispered. Like the secrets of the dearly departed space pilot that is being laid to rest today. When he and his wife were thrust into space, her stomach was as flat as a pancake and on the day he died, it was in the same condition.
Make of that what you will.

Mei Mei was trying hard not to punch Mo Liang at a funeral that was being broadcast live to the entire world. The reason why she wanted to punch him was because he kept attempting to hold her hand every time a camera so mush as looked in their direction and there were more than three dozen cameras around so there were many attempts. Every other second, Mo Tang’s sweaty paw tried to touch her and she had to swat it away while maintaining a fake smile for the cameras.
She had not wanted to come to this funeral in the first place, after all, the one being buried was the dead husband of her husband’s current mistress. When she was leaving the house in the morning, she had been kidnapped by royal agents, put in a black dress, made up and delivered to the church.
The dead space pilot was a catholic so his funeral service was held in the largest church in the capital city. Mourners had come from near and far to pay their respects. The atmosphere in the church was solemn, muffled sounds of weeping echoed in all corners.
Mei Mei was sitting at the front, in the same section as other experts that had been on the mission along with their spouses or family members they had chosen to come along with. Somewhere in the opposite seats, her parents, grandparents and twin brother were also in attendance. She had stolen one glance at them and quickly pretended not to have seen them.
One person she had looked at and glared at deliberately was the emperor Long Junjie. He was another candidate that deserved to be punched.
Mei Mei felt it again, Mo Liang’s hand fumbling around to grasp her fingers.
