My Beloved

Han Luo, Beth, Mo Yuan, and Tang Yujin were watching Han Sheng Ming waiting for Zheng Mian in front of her school building with balloons and a bouquet of red roses.

It was so hilarious that Han Luo began to laugh. In her opinion, confession was easier than catching the eyes of others.

Finally, they saw Zheng Mian coming out of the building. They waited eagerly to see what happened next.

Zheng Mian walked casually with her classmates. She was wearing a red top and black pants. Coincidentally, it perfectly matched Han Sheng Ming's outfit.

"Is this what we call two hearts' encounters?" Beth looked genuinely surprised.

"We call this peeping," Han Luo corrected her. "He must have seen her going out wearing that outfit and so, he planned to wear something similar. I can swear that big brother Ming didn't have any red shirt in his closet."

"Oh, talk about romantic," Beth commented while chuckling.

Zheng Mian was stunned by seeing Han Sheng Ming in front of her school building. She didn't expect him to be here today as well. She was trying to ignore him from the moment he proposed to her. Her heart moved.

Instantly, she thought, 'No, no. I shouldn't let him off the hook that easily. He needs to know what he has done wrong.'

'Why doesn't he understand that I don't want roses or balloons? I won't be distracted by his Ferrari either. I've got an expensive sports car I like. I just want to know his feelings for me.' Zheng Mian let out a deep sigh.

She gave a silent glare at Han Sheng Ming who flinched and then she brushed past him.

"Come on, big brother Ming! You can do it! Just go after her and win her heart!" From the back, Han Luo mumbled softly and encouraged her cousin.

Maybe, he heard her voice. Han Sheng Ming gathered some courage and strode toward her. "Mian, wait!" he called out to her and grabbed her left wrist.

Zheng Mian jerked her arm to snatch it away from him. "What are you doing? Let go of my hand."

Han Sheng Ming dejectedly asked, "Why are you avoiding me?" he looked like a puppy who was thrown on the street.

Zheng Mian retorted, "Why should I not avoid you? Insincere jerk!"

Han Sheng Ming panicked and defended himself, "I'm not insincere. My heart for you is real."

Zheng Mian shook her head. "I don't believe you. What did you ever do for me except for saving me that night? How will I believe that your heart is true? How am I supposed to know that you won't back away from me one day?"

Beth clicked her tongue in annoyance. "This dumba** doesn't understand anything even though Mian is pointing at it. And, Mian too! Why is she so persistent with 'I love you'?"

Han Luo shared her explanation, "From my point of view, it's normal. Just think you love someone and you married him but he never said that he loved you. Although he cared deeply for you and did everything for you as a husband, it wouldn't be a surprise.

"That's because 'I love you' phrase gives mental support. If your husband doesn't tell you that he loves you but takes good care of you, you will end up thinking that he has a mistress somewhere who he loves and that's why he cannot say that he loves you."

On the other side, Han Sheng Ming was saying, "That's why I proposed to you."

Zheng Mian shrugged her shoulders. "So what if you proposed to me? You don't love me. There are tons of guys who told me that they loved me and asked me to go out. I'll just grab a man and become his girlfriend."

"No! You cannot do that!" Han Sheng Ming almost freaked out. "They switch from woman to woman. I only have you. It cannot be anyone other than you."

Zheng Mian threw a remark, "They switch from woman to woman but for some time, they will still love me. They will give their bodies and hearts to me."

Han Sheng Ming patted his chest with his free hand. "I will give you my heart and body too."

Zheng Mian looked away. "But there is a difference. They love me but you don't love me."

As she turned around to leave, she was pulled forcefully and strongly hugged by Han Sheng Ming. He wouldn't let go no matter how she struggled.

He softly whispered in a quivering voice, "I like that you are smart and independent. I like how bold you are. I want to keep you that way. So, let me be by your side and protect you from now on so that you can do whatever you want without restraint… I love you so very much."

Zheng Mian: "…"

Others: "…"

Han Luo excitedly requested, "Someone please tell me what big brother Ming just said. I can't read lips."

"I like that you are smart and independent. I like how bold you are. I want to keep you that way. So, let me be by your side and protect you from now on so that you can do whatever you want without restraint… I love you so very much – that's what he said," Mo Yuan stated.

Han Luo covered her face in amazement. "Oh my God! My big brother Ming has finally grown up. I'm so proud of him." Her face turned red and her eyes teared up in happiness.

"Now, we have to throw a huge party. Luo, what do you say?" Beth was so excited that her hands were shaking. She could barely take photos.

"Definitely," Han Luo wiped her tears. She suddenly remembered something, "But hey, did anyone take a video? It would be such a waste if no one did."

"Oh, that's right!" Beth was taking photos. She didn't think of taking a video.

"Relax you two. First, let's hear what Zheng Mian has to say."
