My Beloved

Jasmine's words didn't bother Han Luo. Instead, she was thrilled. "For Yuan, you can do everything, can't you?"

Jasmine confidently answered, "Yes, I can."

Han Luo seemed offended as if she was angry. "Is this why you bullied all these girls including me?"

"Compared to how you all made me suffer, a little bullying is nothing." Jasmine shrugged and smirked. She didn't regret what she did. If she got another chance, she would do it again without being failed – she promised herself.

"You have no idea about our relationship. That's why you are speaking like that. So naïve." Han Luo chuckled. "Guess what, I'm indeed the heroine of a love story and Yuan is mine. I'm too narrow-minded to share him with anyone. If you try to tear us apart, I will make sure you suffer through hell."

Her warning was straightforward. She didn't bother anyone or harm anyone. Even so, some people couldn't stand her happiness. If they tried to take away the things that belonged to her, she wouldn't just stay still. She would fight back.

That was the kind of person Han Luo was.

"Did you think you could put me in jail forever? You have no idea who you are messing with."

"You took the words from my mouth." After that, Han Luo said nothing. She had already spoken what she wanted to. From their short time conversation, one thing was clear that it was Jasmine who attacked her for Mo Yuan. She didn't need to know more than that.

When she was leaving, Jasmine shouted, "I've prepared a gift for you. Hope you like it."

Han Luo went out of the meeting room and met Mo Yuan and the superintendent. She gave the police officer a small recorder and told him, "I've recorded our conversation. I'm giving this to you. This is proof that she and her group had attacked me with a clear mind."

"Thank you for your cooperation," the superintendent smiled at her politely. Because of her, his job had become a lot easier.

Mo Yuan instructed him, "I don't want her or her gang to leave this place. If something happens, please contact my father."

"I will. Thank you very much," the superintendent said.

After they left, Mo Yuan was driving to Han Luo's house. Noting the quiet girl, he asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

Han Luo was looking at her hands while thinking. Upon hearing his question, she answered, "Jasmine said that she had prepared a gift for me. I have a bad feeling about this. I don't feel like going to school anymore."

Mo Yuan told her, "You better stay close to me all the time."

"Even when I go to the washroom?" she asked him jokingly.

Mo Yuan smiled. "I don't mind."

"Eww!" Han Luo twisted her face in disgust.

Mo Yuan reached her home soon. It was evening but the sun was still up. The sky had a purple and orange tinge to it. Since it was Autumn, the day was getting shorter. Therefore, it was a bit darker than before. The trees in the surrounding area cast some large shadows. All in all, the ambiance felt quite surreal. The lights inside the house were all turned on. After they got out of the car, they walked toward her home.

Just then, someone abruptly opened the door startling Han Luo, and stepped outside. That person stood right in front of them.

Han Luo nearly thought that her heart flew out of her chest. She was already a bit distracted. After seeing Han Sheng Ming, she relaxed her stiff body and asked, "Big brother Ming, I didn't know you were home. Didn't you have basketball practice today after class? So, what happened? Why did you open the door like that? You scared me."

"Little Luo Luo, do you really want to know what's wrong? What actually happened?" Han Sheng Ming's tone was low. His expression was darker than stormy clouds.

It wasn't the Han Sheng Ming she knew. Her cousin was a cheerful and friendly person. He always expressed whatever he was feeling. If he was angry, he would vent it then and there. He never held it in. She had barely seen him so quiet and angry. It seemed like he was trying to control his anger. That was so unlike him. She felt a little scared.

Han Luo had a bad feeling about this. Her big brother Ming looked extremely angry right now. "Big brother Ming, what happened? Why do you look so upset? Did anyone make you mad?"

"Before I answer all of your questions, why don't you answer me about this," saying that Han Sheng Ming pointed a finger at them.

Han Luo and Mo Yuan followed his finger where it was being pointed at. Looking at what he was truly meaning, her face slightly turned pale.

Han Sheng Ming was actually signaling at their joined hands.

Han Luo's heart dropped. They naturally held each other's hand out of habit. She didn't know when she did that. She wanted to hit herself for being so careless. She quickly attempted to shake off Mo Yuan's hand but he was holding her hand tightly. He wouldn't let her go.

Since Han Sheng Ming already saw them like this, Mo Yuan didn't want to hide it any longer. He knew that sooner or later, they had to tell everyone and he had to face Han Sheng Ming and his wrath.

Just like Han Luo, he didn't like to hide things from their close ones as if they were doing something bad. Their dating wasn't illegal. They were both adults and this was a free country.

In fact, he felt that by hiding it from Han Sheng Ming who was so pure and innocent, they were doing something wrong. Han Sheng Ming thought of him as his sworn brother. His guilty conscience bugged him.

That's why Mo Yuan decided to face him head on the moment Han Sheng Ming stood in front of them.
