My Beloved

"Let's go inside," Noah said.

Everyone went inside. Noah and Tang Yujin took Han Luo's luggage and bags in her room. Han Luo entered her room and saw everything was the same as before. Nothing had changed. Her room was neat and clean.

"Finally!" She fell on the bed with a 'plop' sound and felt her soft bed.

Noah grabbed her from behind and threw her at the soft couch. "I've taken out the new bed cover and placed it in the morning. How dare you sleep here wearing these dirty clothes!"

Han Luo bounced at the soft couch and hurriedly looked around. When she didn't see Tang Yujin, she relaxed. He must have thought that he shouldn't stay in a maiden's bedroom. So he left as soon as he placed her luggage on the floor. He was still as polite as ever.

Han Luo sat up straight and threw a kick at Noah. He quickly moved away from her. "That's a nice move punk. Where did you learn it?"

Han Luo proudly said, "I've learned it from Mrs. Mu. She taught me many moves whenever I went to meet her. What do you think of this move?"

Noah thoughtfully analyzed, "It's a fast and bold move. She is a quick and bold woman. She has mischief side on her. She must be a great person. What else did she teach you?"

Han Luo said, "She is a good artist but I'm not interested in painting. I like how she creates programs for gaming. However, I'm interested in dancing and business. I don't have any interest in gaming or programming."

Noah sat beside her and said, "But you have an idea about those things now right? If you want to become the President of the Han Corporation, you have to learn a lot of things aside from managing a company."

Han Luo nodded. "I know; I have learned some things for her. I also like how President Mu manages the whole company. I had the luck to stay in the company for a week and saw him how he handled all sorts of problems. Despite his workload, he still spends time with his family. It's admirable. I've learned time management from him."

Noah wasn't able to talk to her like this for a long time. He knew that she needed some rest but he couldn't help but extend their conversation. "It's true that if you live around good people, you will learn something good. Did Acting Vice President Tong call you?"

"He never stopped contacting me. Man, he is so strict. He gave me lots of assignments. I've never done school homework but I had to do his assignments. He even let me write two project proposals. If Assistant Ju Long didn't help me, I wouldn't be able to finish them. It was so tough," Han Luo wanted to cry without tears.

Noah said, "I think you are still having a good time. When your father was younger, he was already better at writing project proposals. His training was harsher than yours."

Han Luo looked at him and narrowed her eyes. "How do you know that?"

Noah answered, "Acting President Han told me so that I kept an eye on your cousin. When it comes to assignment, he is lazy to the bone. He never finishes his assignment in a day."

"Ahahaha, I know that," Han Luo knew that Han Sheng Ming had no interest in becoming the President of the Han Corporation. He was acting just like his father at his young age.

That's why she is working hard. Right now, she is enjoying her in her free time because she knows that one day she will be too busy to have fun.

She has heard from her uncle Tong that the company isn't doing better like before. She will be in a tough spot if she has to take all the pressure when she has no experience. However, if her father wakes up before she has to take the position; it will be great for both Han Luo and the company.

"I want to meet dad," she suddenly said.

Noah glanced at her. "You mean, now?"

"As soon as possible," she replied. She was dying to meet him. It has been two years since she last saw her father.

Noah nodded. "Take your bath. I will take you there."

"All right," Han Luo stood up and went to the bathroom.

"I didn't warm up the water," Noah mentioned. "Do you need me to scrub your back or wash your hair?"

Han Luo looked back and said dramatically, "Who do you think I am? I'm Han Luo. I don't need help for something so simple," saying that she closed the door soundlessly.

Noah chuckled as he gazed at the tightly shut door. He mumbled, "Just two years ago she needed help with everything. Look at her now. She is all grown up." He felt pride as if his own daughter had accomplished something good.

'Maybe staying without us did have some benefits,' he thought.

After going to the hospital, Noah let her enter the room alone. Han Luo felt like it had been decades since she last saw her father. She had bought lilacs with her. She threw the dry flowers to the bin and put the new ones in the flower vase.

She finally sat beside her father. Han Ying Wei had become thinner. His face was ghastly. He looked like he was sleeping soundly and peacefully.

Han Luo took his cold left hand in her hand and said softly, "Daddy, how long do you want to sleep? You have become so lazy. Why don't you open your eyes and smile at me? I even forgot how you look when you smile. If it wasn't for your picture, I wouldn't have remembered. I don't remember your voice anymore."

"Daddy, I miss you a lot. How long do you want me to wait? Are you upset that I didn't come to meet you for two years? I have been working hard these two years. I wanted to grow up faster and support you. Daddy, when you wake up, you will be so proud of me. So, wake up, okay?" She buried her face on the bed and stayed like that for a long time.

She would have stayed here a bit more but her cell phone chimes.

Beth sent her a message. 'Come back quickly. I have something important to tell you.'

Han Luo asked herself, "What does she want now?"
