Chapter 112: Age and stability.
"You favor that kid way too much, you don’t even see how pretentious he is. I am not saying that its a bad thing but....." Mingzhe sat down and his feet found room on her table.
"Ever since you became a soldier your feet found a love for tables." Mei Mei stared at the feet with contempt as if they had offended her somehow.
He tapped his feet together, unbothered. "It is called a power position. It can disarm your enemies or intimidate them. Stop changing the subject, we are talking about your little boyfriend."
Mei Mei narrowed her eyes, "He is not ’little.’ He is just younger than me,"
"By five years." He held a hand out. "Five, Mei Mei. That is practically a generation."
She rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Oh please. You make it sound as if I could be old enough to be his mother or something, He is not a teenager. He is twenty four, mature, responsible and he wants a commitment. If I told him to go down to civil affairs office with me on the very day my divorce is stamped he would do it happily. He is not like you--you are allergic to commitment."
Mingzhe chuckled. "Don’t get all defensive, I am just poking holes and looking underneath the hood which is my job as your older brother. I did not do a great job preventing the disaster that is Mo Liang. If this kid actually succeeds in marrying you, I have to make sure that he is solid like land.
You are not just any other woman getting a divorce, you are a woman with a child. After your divorce, when you get Mingzhu’s custody, you will practically fall in the single mother category.
Any man that comes into your life is not just involved with you, he is also involved with my niece. If they break your heart, they break hers. You need stability Mei Mei, if the kid is not stable, break it off before it is too late.
