‘Rogue Emperor’ co-stars Kenneth Ma and Niki Chow in flirtatious promotion
HONG KONG: Co- stars of the TVB series Rogue Emperor Kenneth Ma and Niki Chow have been getting flirtatious during a promotion to drum up buzz.
In the run-up to the Lunar New Year, those who are still single come under tremendous pressure to find life partners. Kenneth is 42, while Niki is 37. During the promotion, Niki loosened Kenneth’s tongue by teasing: “I heard you recently bought an apartment! How come the whole world knows about this? Did they give you a discount?”
Reporters asked if Niki would be visiting Kenneth at his new home. Sensing a moment to feign at being flirtatious, Kenneth asked: “When are you going to come visit my mom? Make auntie happy! Gossip magazines say my mom really wants one (daughterin-law).”
Feigning annoyance, Niki retorted: “But my mom probably won’t be happy! What if you’re not actually a rich bachelor?”

Grinning widely, Kenneth replied: “Of course. Think about it. Take your time. Take ten years if you want.”
Still laughing, Niki asked how old he was.
An amused Kenneth shook his head and replied: “Doesn’t matter! Just don’t wait until I’m 90!”
