My Beloved

Adults don't understand kids. Most of the time, they don't even try to understand their feelings. They think that just because they are older and survived on the earth for some time, they have the right to decide everything for a child. They don't let the child decide for themselves, or actively choose what's right and what's wrong. The child is forced to blindly follow them.

Ma Rui happened to have the same problem. As a mother, she wanted to do something good for her son and his friends – that was very noble of her. However, she didn't ask the kids, not even her own child. She decided that Mo Yuan had to go to London. She even talked to Han Sheng Ming's father and Tang Yujin's parents about it. The boys didn't know that they had to leave. She didn't know how Han Sheng Ming saved Han Luo every day when his father was unable to do anything. She didn't want to understand what Han Sheng Ming had to go through to save her cousin from his own mother and sisters. Ma Rui also decided for Han Luo to stay with her. Though what she wanted to do it for their betterment, it was hard on them. Because of her decision, the four kids were suffering.

Han Luo hugged Han Sheng Ming tightly and said, "Big brother, don't worry too much. Am I not your sister? How can I let anyone harm me or bully me? And if you all keep protecting me, how will I be able to stand on my own feet? Would I even be a person? Just you wait, I'll become a big girl who you can be proud of. Let me grow up for your and daddy's sake."

"Little Luo Luo!" Han Sheng Ming cried out. His hurtful mourn echoed throughout the flower garden.

One month later, the three little guys got ready to leave their country. Their family. They were depressed. Their families were dejected. But soon, their family members were also preparing to move out with them so that their business could be expanded; business was always a priority.

At the airport, Han Sheng Ming hugged Han Luo. "Little Luo Luo, if you have any problem, call me. When I come back, I'll beat the crap out of those bullies." As he said that, he glared at his sisters. Han Luilui and Han Wanwan flinched and hid behind Du Liu. Du Liu didn't say anything. Her paper heart was torn as her beloved son was leaving.

"Don't worry, big brother Ming." Han Luo held back her tears.

Tang Yujin rubbed Han Luo's head. "Take care of yourself, okay? If you can't find the answer to a question, call me anytime. If I don't answer you, text me. I'll reply to you when I see your text." He gently wiped away her tears and cooed, "Don't cry. We will meet again soon."

"Okay, big brother Yujin." Han Luo nodded. She couldn't look at him properly.

At last, Mo Yuan calmly looked at her. Various questions were rolling in his head, but he didn't open his mouth. In front of everyone, he hugged her close and whispered in a warm, tender voice, "I'll wait for you, Ah Luo." For the first time, he called her so affectionately – how no one ever called her before. For an unknown reason, Han Luo's face grew hot and she tried to hide her face on his nape. Mo Yuan smiled affectionately at her cute act. He noticed that her neck had also turned red in embarrassment. Before he let her go, his lips gently brushed away over her left cheek.

Since he was facing back to everyone, no one saw his secret action. Han Sheng Ming was too sad to get angry at Mo Yuan for hugging his cute little cousin. To others, it was a hug between two children. Han Luilui and Han Wanwan, on the other hand, glared at Han Luo with an expression of envy.

Han Luo was in a daze as the boys left and everyone bid them farewell. She couldn't forget the soft, warm feeling on her cheek and the affectionate voice calling her 'Ah Luo'. Such a sweet, loving voice that could melt anyone. When she came back to her senses, everyone was about to leave.

On the way back home, her brain started to work again. It was only then, she asked herself, 'Why did big brother Mo act so differently?' However, she couldn't come up with the answer.

[Six years later]

"Get up, punk! Who told you to stay awake all night and watch anime? Didn't I tell you to sleep early? You have to visit Madam Mo today." Butler Noah moved the blanket, and an twelve year old girl came out of view. She was laying on her stomach. Her hair was a mess as she was in a deep sleep. Noah grabbed her right leg and pulled her down.

"Nnn… no…" Han Luo let out a small protest.

Butler Noah warned her, "Don't make me throw cold water at you."

Han Luo could hardly open her eyes. She was dragged onto the cold floor. She sat there confused and then stood up. She yawned before going to the washroom. After freshening up, she changed into the clothes that had been prepared for her, and later, Butler Noah brushed her hair.

Afterward, she walked on the corridor and wanted to go downstairs when Han Wanwan came quietly and tried to push her down. But years of martial arts training made Han Luo notice her quickly and instinctively dodge. Her agility made a road for Han Wanwan to fall on the stairs.

"Ahh!" Han Wanwan screamed loudly and started to cry after rolling downstairs.

Everyone gathered around upon hearing her scream.

Han Luo yawned and asked in a surprised tone, "Cousin, are you okay? You are not a kid anymore.. How come you rolled on the stairs? You didn't get hurt, did you?" She sounded so worried that even God Himself might have believed her words.
