Two hours after Mei-Mei checked out of the hospital, Mo Liang showed up outside the VIP room where she had been, with flowers in his hands. He had waited until all the bodyguards of the Jun family withdrew before daring to approach.
Mo Liang was sure that he could coax Mei-Mei with a few words and one kiss as long as nobody was around, especially her relatives that looked down on him. He was not enthusiastic about kissing her.
He would much rather have kissed a dead fish than Mei-Mei, she had become so unattractive that the thought of touching her aroused a desire in him to barf.
As his hand started to slide the door open, Yue showed up. "Ayang, I brought flowers too. I won't start any trouble, I promise that I am just here to apologize. I will explain to sister Mei-Mei that what happened between us was an accident and beg her to forgive you. Mei-Mei loves you, she will forgive you immediately."
Mo Liang's smiled in a cocky way, "It's true. she loves me. She cannot live without me, I don't even need to bring flowers to coax her."
He looked around for a dustbin and threw the flowers away. Then, opened the door and walked inside with arrogance flashing in his eyes. Yue followed him, malice flashing in hers.
On entering the room, they found it empty. A robot butler was cleaning up under the supervision of a female cleaner.
Yue saw the hospital ID tag for a patient in the open mouth of a robot vacuum cleaner that was waiting for more rubbish. She also saw the name Jun Meilin before turning away from it. "Mmm, Ayang, sister Mei-Mei is not here. Have we come to the wrong room?"
"Where is my wife?" Mo Liang asked the human female cleaner.
The woman shrugged, "I don't know who your wife is but the patient that was here is gone. She left two hours ago."
Suddenly, Yue gasped loudly. looking at her phone. She tapped the screen of her phone and a hologram image of the mighty little peep star's page appeared.
"Ayang, look at this. The mighty little peep star captured sister Mei-Mei leaving the hospital in the company of a man."
Mo Liang sneered. "What man? It is probably one of her brothers. Have you seen Meilin lately? Only a blind man would consider her a woman."
The picture was not clear, Mei-Mei was getting into a flying car. Her face was not shown and neither was that of the man accompanying her. However, the mighty little peep star's ambiguous words were eyebrow raising.
The mighty little peep star: I was hoping to capture a picture of the national baby Mo Hao but instead got a picture of ex-heiress Jun Meilin leaving the hospital with her daughter in the company of a handsome young man. What a happy family of three!! So many happy families of three lately.
The netizens were also questioning the meaning behind the picture and what the peep star was hinting at.
[A happy family of three, the wife is identified but there is no mention of the husband. Am I the only one reading too much into this?]
[Aaaaah!!! Look at way he is protecting her head while helping her into the car. As expected of our space pilot Mo Liang, a gentleman to the bones.]
[Others are commenting on what the peep star is trying to hint at, I just want to see the national baby. The royal family has released a few pictures of him as a baby in a space suit. So cute.]
[Yesterday, there was a happy family of three and today there is another happy family of three. Are they two different families?]
"Damn peep star." Mo Liang muttered as he read through some of the comments. He was doing his best to be low key and keep his family affairs in order. The bastard paparazzo was ruining everything.
He had almost just finished cursing when he got a call from the office of the royal secretary who shouted at him and cursed him out for being a fool.
"Ayang, do you really think that its one of her brothers? All the Jun's drive cars with special number plates, this one is not special." Yue zoomed in on the picture. "Maybe sister Me-Mei has a male friend that picked her up, or a co-worker. They must be very close, it is understandable after all, you have been gone for five years."
Mo Liang clenched his jaw, angered by what Tang Yue was implying.
"What do you mean by that?"
Yue covered her mouth and shook her head, denying the malicious intentions she had. "Ayang, I don't mean anything. I am just happy for sister Mei-Mei because she has a good friend that took care of her while tou were gone." She lowered her eyes, "I am the one to blame for all this, if Hao and I had gone to the Xu family...."
Mo Liang grabbed Yue by the shoulders and made her face him. "Tang Yue, what are you blaming yourself for? If anyone is to be blamed, it is that lose legged bitch Mei-Mei. She is aware that she has a husband but left the hospital in the company of another man and it was captured by a paparazzo. I should have known that she would not be able to keep it in her pants while I was gone. Just wait and see how I clean her up when I get home." He hugged Yue and comforted her as if she had somehow been harmed by something Me-Mei had done.
All of this happened in the presence of a cleaner that was doing her best to stand as still as the robot butler. She could not wait for the two people to leave so that she could share what she had witnessed with all of her sisters on the cleaning team of the hospital.
Meanwhile, at the house, Mei-Mei and Mingzhu had finished packing up all of their luggage. Mo Jingzhe and a team of movers took the last of their things out of the house. Mei-Mei climbed into the flying car and it flew away, taking them to the destination of their new home.
A minute into the journey, something exploded. Jingzhe and Mingzhu looked back in the direction of the sound. From above in the sky, they saw rubble and smoke where a villa once stood.
"Mom, the house is gone." Mingzhu cried out.
The little girl climbed onto Mo Jingzhe's laps to get a better view from his side of the window. Mo Jingzhe looked at Mei-Mei instead, curious about what she had done.
There was no guilt on her face or any hint that she had been involved in the explosion.
"Oops, I forgot to turn the microwave off." she shrugged.
"Or an enemy nation is trying to take out the famous space pilot and his special space baby." Mo Jingzhe suggested. "We were lucky to escape with our lives."
"So lucky." Mei-Mei repeated.
As the car flew further away, the sides of her lips were lifted into a cheeky smile. It looked like she had found a use for that C4 after all.
