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.
