My Beloved

"It\'s fine. Please take a rest for two days and think about what you will do. If you want to work even after you were hurt, we will warmly welcome you. If you don\'t want to work, we completely understand." Han Luo fidgeted when she said that. She was partly at fault for his injury and everything.

She cannot complain if he wants to quit.

William spoke rather loudly, "What are you talking about? Of course, I will work with you. Leave everything to me."

Han Luo beamed. "I\'m so glad that you are still with us. I\'ll give you my chef and her son as a reward. They will help you with making the pastries. This way, you don\'t have to pressure yourself."

William\'s face lit up. "Wow! Thank you for your help."

Han Luo told him, "It\'s nothing. If I can, I will help you out as well. For now, get better soon. I\'ll send you the plans and you can read them thoroughly and prepare yourself. You can practice at my place. My chef has everything a patisserie would need."

William took this chance. "Thank you for the offer. I will take it."

"Great! I\'ll be off then." Han Luo stood up.

Nancy asked her, "Should I call a taxi for you?"

"No, I think a car is already waiting for me. Thank you. Bye!" Han Luo bid them goodbye and went out. Nancy and William saw that a guy opened a door for her. She got inside the car and then that person drove away.

William asked, "Who is that guy?"

Nancy recalled that she saw this guy often driving her to the company and he even worked at Han Luo\'s home. She replied, "That\'s the butler of her house."

"Butler?!" William exclaimed. "She is a rich heiress."

Nancy told him, "She lives in Bishop Avenue. She is crazy rich."

"B-Bishop Avenue…" William gulped. "Sis, I\'m kind of scared now. What if I do something wrong and she-"

Nancy frowned and chided him, "Do you know how worried she was when you were in the hospital for two days? Also, if it wasn\'t for you, you would have stayed in the hospital for a whole week. You could have forgotten about working with us."

After that, Nancy told him everything. William felt bad. "I\'m sorry. I shouldn\'t have doubted her. She is so young and hardworking. She is also very kind. She is different from other rich people."

"She is. Now, finish your congee and take some rest. I have to go to the office tomorrow. We have a meeting." Nancy shoved the bowl of congee to him.

While driving Noah commented, "You are in a good mood."

"Yes, William woke up and he agreed to work with us." Han Luo described everything to him.

Noah had guessed something like this. "Good for you then. Your hard work is being paid off."

Han Luo shook her head. "Not really. I couldn\'t do it without Ling, big brother Yujin and big brother Yuan\'s help."

Noah suggested, "You can make them VIP guests."

"I will do that." However, Han Luo didn\'t look happy for some reason.

Noah could understand why. He stated, "Hey, don\'t be upset. In this world, no one can do anything alone. You cannot grow crops and vegetables and make clothes for yourself. You have to let people do things they are good at. And you are not letting them do it for free. You will give them a prize in return."

Han Luo let out a deep sigh and said, "Yes, I know. Thank you, Noah."

Noah replied, "You are welcome, little punk."

Han Luo freshened up and went to Mo Yuan\'s room. He was studying for his upcoming exam.

Han Luo walked soundlessly and stood behind him. Then, suddenly she hugged him from behind. "Waah!"

Mo Yuan dropped his pen and hugged her arms. He smiled at her childish action. He turned his head and kissed her cheek. "When did you arrive?"

"Half an hour ago," Han Luo answered and planted a soft kiss on his cheek. "Have you been studying all this time?"

Mo Yuan replied, "Yes, I have been studying from the moment you left. You look happy. Did something good happen?"

"Yes!" Han Luo eventually told him what happened in the hospital and at Nancy\'s place.

Mo Yuan said, "That\'s good then. Everything is done according to your wish. You can finally let go of your worries."

"Since you helped me so much, I want to do something for you too. Come to my room after everyone falls asleep," Han Luo sweetly whispered in his ear and lightly bit his earlobe.

Mo Yuan flinched and his blood began to boil. His brain stopped working for a couple of seconds. Before he could do anything, Han Luo slipped out of his side and ran away.

When Mo Yuan\'s brain began to work once again, he smirked. He mumbled, "I\'m looking forward to tonight."

-----------

Han Sheng Ming doesn\'t usually notice things but after he found out about Han Luo and Mo Yuan, he became vigilant. Just like tonight\'s dinner, he noticed that Mo Yuan and Han Luo were a lot quieter than usual.

He suspiciously looked at those two and questioned Mo Yuan, "Xiao Yuan, why aren\'t you talking?"

"Do I usually talk much?\' Mo Yuan asked in reply.

That was true. Han Sheng Ming couldn\'t say anything. He glanced at Han Luo and asked her, "Little Luo Luo, aren\'t you feeling well? You don\'t look enthusiastic." His tone completely became affectionate and doting when he talked to her. Just a few seconds ago, he was interrogating Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan commented, "This is discrimination."

Han Sheng Ming retorted, "You are not cute and you are not my little sister. Why should there not be discrimination?"

Han Luo butted in, "All right, all right, you two don\'t have to fight. Big brother Ming, I\'m thinking about tomorrow\'s meeting, so I\'m a bit quiet. Please don\'t mind me."

"Oh yeah, I heard what Larry did. That son of a b***h! How dare he to try to harm my sister. I\'ll kill him." Han Sheng Ming looked like he was going to tear off Larry\'s head.

Han Luo held his hand and assured him, "No need. Because of him, we were able to save a good sum of money."

"I heard about it. I\'m so proud of you. I know my cute little sister is the best. You can do anything." Han Sheng Ming smiled and patted her head.

After dinner, Han Luo went inside her room. She had no idea what was going on outside the door since the room and door were soundproof.

Han Sheng Ming was sitting in front of her door with a baseball bat as if he was guarding the door with his life.

Noah thought he was going to have a headache. "Young Master Han, what are you doing?"

Han Sheng Ming told him, "Didn\'t you find their behavior a bit suspicious? There was no way little Luo Luo was thinking of work? She was in a daze. It must be something related to Xiao Yuan."

"Are you going to stay here for the rest of the night?" Noah asked.

Han Sheng Ming replied firmly, "Of course, I will. It\'s just one night."

"Have a good night then," Noah bowed and left.

"Guard well," Mo Yuan commented and walked past him. He went to his room. It was a small bedroom right beside Han Luo\'s room.

Han Sheng Ming threatened him, "I won\'t let you do anything to my cute little sister when you are around me, you pervert."

"I\'m not a pervert. I\'m a carnivore." After saying that Mo Yuan closed the door of his room.

"!!!" Han Sheng Ming gritted his teeth and fiercely glared at the door of the room of his best friend. "You… man eater, my sister has been tricked!"

---------

Han Luo waited for Mo Yuan for thirty minutes after she prepared for tomorrow\'s meeting and homework for school. She was getting sleepy when someone knocked on her window. She was startled and took a steel ruler. Then, she walked toward the window silently. She heard another knock. It was faint. She instantly moved the curtains.

She was surprised to see Mo Yuan hanging on outside the window by grabbing onto the window shade.

"Big brother Yuan!" Han Luo nervously called out and hurriedly opened the window. Mo Yuan entered her room swiftly.

Han Luo held him and inquired, "Why on earth did you use the window to come here? What about the door?"

Mo Yuan answered, "Your cousin is guarding your door as if he was Azrael guarding heaven\'s door."

"What?!" Han Luo took some time to digest the news. "He must have doubted something to act like this. Geez! Big brother Ming is so cute sometimes…" She couldn\'t help but giggle due to her cousin\'s childlike action.

"What about me?" Mo Yuan asked.

"Huh?" Han Luo blinked.

Mo Yuan pulled her closer and asked, "How do I look in your eyes?"
