My Beloved

Tang Yujin's body stiffened. For some reason, he felt as though his friend's mother didn't like him getting along with Han Luo. But at the same time, a part of him thought that maybe he was overthinking it.

Han Luo still had many things she wanted to ask Tang Yujin; she didn't want to go with Ma Rui. However, he was going to play with Mo Yuan and Mo Yuan didn't like her. Realizing that, she silently left with Ma Rui.

Tang Yujin came here for a reason. He might have been the most laid-back guy in his friend circle, but he was quite the strategist. Though Ma Rui planned not to let Han Luo meet Tang Yujin, he came to find them after playing with Mo Yuan. He directly declared, "Auntie, I would like to take little Luo with me. Everyone at home was telling me to bring her over. They miss her a lot."

Ma Rui's shock paralyzed her. She didn't imagine Tang Yujin to be so cunning. Before she could even speak, Tang Yujin asked Han Luo, "Little Luo, do you want to go with me to my house and play hide and seek with some others?"

It was obvious what Han Luo's answer was going to be. "I would love to!" she immediately replied. "When are we leaving?"

Ma Rui felt her palms begin to seep streams of sweat. It didn't take Han Luo a second to think before answering. Feelings of panic grew inside of her. 'Just how close are they?! No, no – I must calm down first. If I become too overbearing, Luo'er wouldn't want to come here anymore. I am the reason she's having a good time. It looks like everyone in the Tang Family already accepted her. They are also quite close to her; we're just a bit slow. But there is nothing to worry about! We can – no – we will come up with a strategy and win her over in less than a year.'

Because of her hardened countenance, Mo Yuan suspected that his mother was formulating something strange again. He said, "That's good then. Sheng Ming won't worry about her anymore."

Tang Yujin covered his mouth in amusement. "Did I hear some anger in your voice? Haha, chill out. You know Sheng Ming – he's a bit overprotective. And he's also worried about you, too. We all know that you don't like little kids."

Mo Yuan frowned. Did everyone think of him like an idiot? "Worried about me? Don't joke with me," he grumpily retaliated.

Ma Rui rubbed her head. If her son wanted to dig his own grave, should she let him be or help him? She didn't know what to do.

Han Luo turned to gaze at her with bright eyes. "Mom, can I go? I want to go."

At that moment, Ma Rui felt her heart turn liquid. 'All right, no need to panic. A warrior must step back once to fool the enemy and then strike again with double strength to kill. I will let her go for now.' She suddenly smiled and sung, "Sure! Luo'er can go wherever she wants."

"Thanks, mom!" Han Luo jumped off the couch and ran to her room to pack her bag. A maid followed after her quietly.

Before Han Luo left with Tang Yujin, she waved goodbye to Ma Rui. "Mom! I'll come again! Thank you for everything!"

Ma Rui grinned. "Silly girl, don't thank me if you are going to call me 'mom'. I'll go to your house and meet you, next time."

"Yes! I'll wait for you." Han Luo's eyes were glittering in elation.

In the Tang Mansion, time flew by swiftly. Days later, Han Sheng Ming had come over to pick up Han Luo. The first thing he did after seeing her was hug her tightly till she couldn't breathe. He then asked her, "Little Luo Luo tell me, did Xiao Yuan do anything to you? I dreamed that he ate you alive and you were crying! Tell me if he made you cry. I'll shred him into pieces!"

Han Luo blinked. "What's 'shred into pieces'?" She was still unfamiliar with many words.

Tang Yujin came from behind. "Honestly, if you were that worried, then why did you let her go there? You could've made her come to my house. Everyone there loves little Luo." The boy heaved a sigh. "And don't use that phrase again. She shouldn't know what that means..."

Han Sheng Ming ignored his friend but instead inspected Han Luo thoroughly, top to bottom. "My brain wasn't working properly! I was forcefully woken up in the morning and was told that I had to leave as soon as possible. I panicked and called Xiao Yuan. It was kinda weird how fast he agreed. I didn't think about it much at first, but then it hit me – he must have some secret plan! After thinking that, I lost my sleep. They didn't let me contact the Mo Mansion even though they knew that little Luo Luo was there. So, I had to ask for your help."

"Hey, don't think too much about it. Xiao Yuan would never harm little Luo. She never disturbed him, did she?" Tang Yujin coolly responded.

"He didn't let go of my sisters. Did you forget that?"

Tang Yujin scratched his head. "…Well, they were annoying him and… little Luo avoids Xiao Yuan. You have nothing to worry about. But Xiao Yuan's mother really likes little Luo. Little Luo calls her 'mom', just like how Xiao Yuan does."

"What did you say?!" Han Sheng Ming could feel lightning ignite in his blood. "Why would she do that?" He looked at Han Luo in horror. "Little Luo Luo, do you think of her as your mommy? Do you want to leave me?"

Han Luo shook her head. "No, I don't! Mom is mommy's friend, so I call her 'mom'."

Han Sheng Ming was still not at ease.. "I really, really have a bad feeling about this."
