My Beloved

Han Sheng Ming saw how m.a.t.u.r.e Han Luo and Mo Yuan were and sighed. He opened his mouth and said, "Really, you two know how to make me the bad guy."

Han Luo started, "Big brother Ming, it wasn't our intention…"

Han Sheng Ming interrupted her with another deep sigh and remarked, "Now your 'my' turned 'our'. So, this is how a real couple acts, don't they? Damn! I look like an imm.a.t.u.r.e brat in front of the two of you."

Han Luo told him, "We still love you because of who you are."

Han Sheng Ming never doubted her forgiving soul. He felt even more remorse because of that. He couldn't brush off the dark circles under her eyes knowing that it was caused by him.

He frowned and then said, "You don't have to butter me up. I know I was wrong. I'm sorry for acting childishly. I didn't mean to hurt you, little Luo Luo. I got mad because Xiao Yuan was touching my cute little innocent sister behind my back. I felt betrayed and hurt."

��I apologize for that. Hurting you wasn't my intention," Mo Yuan stated.

Han Sheng Ming glared at him. "But you did."

"And you punched me for that," Mo Yuan reminded him.

Han Sheng Ming immediately cooled down. "Yeah… so, I was saying that… I approve of your relationship…"

Han Luo was touched by his words. She wasn't expecting him to accept their relationship so soon. "Big brother Ming…"

Han Sheng Ming added, "However, Xiao Yuan, if you dare to hurt her or make her cry, I will slaughter you. I don't care if it's a droplet of tears or two. She is sad because of you and you are dead meat." His words were firm and his expression was serious.

Warmth spread from his hand to hers. Han Luo smiled softly as her heart became warm as well.

"You promised, so remember." Han Sheng Ming turned his attention toward Han Luo and instructed her, Little Luo Luo, don't get too close to Xiao Yuan. You two can get intimate after the wedding but not before that. You are not allowed to do anything more than touching and kissing."

Han Luo: "…"

Mo Yuan: "…"

[A/N: Han Sheng Ming, that's too bad that they won't be able to agree to it because they had already crossed the line before they got together. I'm sorry for your loss. ]

Han Sheng Ming noticed that both of them were quiet and raised his voice, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Mo Yuan said, "Yes, I will be careful around Ah Luo."

"…" Han Luo squeezed his hand. She knew he was shameless but lying with a straight face was new to her. She couldn't believe how shameless he was.

Han Sheng Ming didn't notice her behavior. He told Mo Yuan, "Good, I heard that your house is being renovated for some reason. You can stay here and prepare for the semester exam. I don't mind… but, no hanky panky is allowed. You are forbidden to enter little Luo Luo's room."

Han Luo gave him a side glance and spoke in her mind, '…I will see how long you can stay in your room.'

--------

'Ah, I was right,' Han Luo thought. 'I knew he wouldn't keep his word to my cousin. But seriously, right now…'

Han Luo was ready to prepare for tomorrow's mock test. However, Mo Yuan secretly came to her room right after Han Sheng Ming went to his bed. He simply carried her to the bed and then placed her on his l.a.p. While hugging her from behind, he kept kissing her neck.

'It's really hard to study like this.' Han Luo sighed and closed her textbook. She turned around and asked him, "What's wrong with you? You keep kissing me like this! I cannot concentrate like this." She complained.

Mo Yuan repeatedly brushed his lips over her shoulder and said, "I can't help it. You are so pretty."

Han Luo wouldn't fall for it. She threatened him, "This won't do. If you do this, I'll kick you out of my room. If you want to stay, help me with my study."

Mo Yuan realized that he would offend her if he went further. He decided to agree with her request. "All right then, I'll help you with your studies. Here, give me the book."

As soon as Han Luo entered her classroom, she met Beth. The moment Beth saw her friend, she shouted, "Luo! You scared me yesterday!"

Han Luo was startled at first then smiled. "Ah! I didn't mean to. Lots of things happened yesterday and the day before yesterday."

Beth pulled her to their usual seats and then sat down. "Tell me what happened."

"Big brother Ming found out and…" Han Luo narrated the whole story short.

"So, you and Yuan are finally going out. Congratulations!" Beth excitedly shook hands with her friend.

"Thanks…" Han Luo lowered her eyes bashfully. It was the first time she was being congratulated for their relationship. Her ears turned red in embarrassment.

"Oww… look at her, acting all shy. You don't even get embarrassed when you kiss your man in front of your friends before getting together." Beth didn't let go of the opportunity to tease her.

Han Luo's face flushed. She quickly tried to change the subject. "Enough. The class is going to start soon."

Beth didn't let go of this matter. She was so excited that her blood was boiling. She inquired, "Hey, what about Rocking Hell then? Are they going to do anything?"

"That's good then. Moreover, your 'man' is there to protect you. Who will dare to hurt Yuan Mo's 'girl'?" Beth took the chance to tease her friend once again.

"Oh, you." Han Luo pushed her friend.

However, knowingly or unknowingly, some did come to hurt Han Luo that very day.

It happened after her classes for the day ended. Beth left since she had a meeting with a client. Han Luo was left alone. Mo Yuan still had two more classes. So, Han Luo decided to wait for him in the library.

The huge library was in another building. She had to walk for at least ten minutes to reach there. Before she could reach the library, someone blocked her way.

It would be more appropriate to say a car blacked her way.

It was a yellow Ferrari.

Han Luo was startled. The car stopped some inches away from her. She halted on her track and glared at the car. She was mad at the driver for his reckless behavior.

The door of the Ferrari opened and a person came out of the car.

That person was none other than Larry Smith. "Look what do we have here," he smirked as he walked toward her. "Isn't this the Ravishing Bride?"

He was loud enough to attract students.

Han Luo raised an eyebrow. She ignored his comment and asked, "What? Don't you know the basic manner of saying 'sorry' after nearly crashing me?"

"What are you being serious about? It's not like I hit you." He stood in front of his. He was taller than her. So, he had to lower his head and faced her directly. "And, I would like it if you are more friendly toward me. After all, once we had a little tryst. Your cold attitude hurts me."

The students who gathered around began to whisper.

Han Luo didn't want to listen to their words. She creased her eyebrow and said, "You mean the time you tried to harm some innocent girls for your selfish d.e.s.i.r.e but ended up in the hospital for messing up with them? How come you still talk about that so shamelessly?"

Larry Smith gritted his teeth. He wanted to burst into anger but soon calmed himself. 'No, I cannot get mad right now. I've come here for a purpose. She isn't with her knights in shining armors now. This is my chance. I might lose it if I don't act now.'

He deeply inhaled and exhaled. After a silent moment, he laughed. "Aren't you being cold toward an old friend? It's not that we don't know each other. I've been at the parties for several years now. But, you still didn't show up. I was worried. I thought I should visit you."

The parties he mentioned were business parties. Han Luo didn't attend all the parties like Han Sheng Ming, Mo Yuan, and Tang Yujin. Since she was in bed for several years and then recently recovered, she wasn't able to hold her ceremony. She wasn't given big projects unlike them.

If she succeeds this time with her first small project, she will attend the Christmas party where most of the businessmen attend.

'Just be because he didn't see me at the party, he wants to meet me and talk to me… how can that be? He must have had some kind of tricks in his sleeves.'
