My Beloved

"Big brother Yuan, do you think somehow Mary is related to this?" This idea suddenly popped into Han Luo's head.

Before, Alex wasn't desperately attacking them. However, after the accident, Han Luo was in a coma and no one other than her close ones knew about it. Even so, her being the secret model of the ravishing bride was exposed, Han Sheng Ming was attacked several times and after she recovered, Larry sent some men.

However, Han Luo, Han Sheng Ming, Mo Yuan, and Tang Yujin had no personal grudge against Alex or Larry. Only Alex and Han Sheng Ming had a rivalry in the game but it couldn't be the issue for trying to hurt Han Luo or her friends.

That's why Han Luo's thoughts went toward Mary who attempted to kill Rose but ended up harming Han Luo instead.

Long ago, Benjamin introduced Han Luo to Mary. At that time, he told Han Luo, Mary's full name.

Han Luo frowned. 'What was her family name again? I cannot remember it…'

She raised her head to look at Mo Yuan who was quietly playing with her hair. He wrapped her hair around his index finger, trying to make it curl.

She asked, "Big brother Yuan, do you know what happened to Mary after that incident."

Mo Yuan simply answered, "She has disappeared without a trace."

"What does that mean?" Han Luo inquired. "Do you mean she has fled from the country or someone finished her off?"

Realizing there was no way to avoid her answer. He had to tell her the truth. "The latter."

Han Luo lifted her body slightly using her left arm and placed her right hand on his chest. "Big brother Yuan, you didn't make your hand bloody because of me, did you?"

Mo Yuan's hand slid to her waist. "Why can't I do that?" he asked her back looking straight into her eyes.

Han Luo couldn't say anything in return. She just couldn't measure how much this guy in front of her cherished her to dirty his hand with sins.

Who else would do it for her?

'No, I would have done the same to Mary if she hurt big brother Yuan. I would've tortured her to death. I would've made her regret that she was born,' Han Luo pondered.

It was the very reason she couldn't get mad at Mo Yuan. She let out a deep sigh and dropped her head. She snuggled close to his chest and shut her eyes.

Mo Yuan caressed her back and questioned her, "Do you hate me now?" He was nervous while thinking about what her answer would be.

Without replying, Han Luo bit his shoulder. After leaving a blue mark on his shoulder, she grumpily stated, "This is the punishment for asking such a stupid question."

Mo Yuan smiled. He was relieved to hear her answer. He hugged her tightly and buried his head in the crook of her neck.

'Honestly, how could he possibly think I would hate him for that when he did it for me?' Han Luo wondered. 'This blood is on me. I won't let him bear the burden.' She nuzzled her face on his muscled chest.

The next day, Han Luo was sent to her house. She directly went to her room and freshened up.

After that, she opened her new assignment given by Han Changhong. He said that it was important and only she could handle this task.

When she was looking through the project, Zheng Mian barged into her room. She walked straight into the room and hugged Han Luo from behind.

Han Luo was too occupied with her thoughts. Being hugged by someone all of a sudden made her startled. "Mian? What's wrong?"

Zheng Mian spoke in a tired voice, "Luo, tell me. Why is your cousin so pure?"

"What happened? Did big brother Ming do something to you?" Han Luo was surprised. The last time she saw them, they were doing pretty well. Even Tang Yujin mentioned that they had a good relationship.

What could have suddenly happened?

Zheng Mian spoke, "Your cousin doesn't want to have a sexual relationship with me unless we get married."

"Huh?" Han Luo had no idea what was going on anymore. She thought that it was a normal quarrel between Han Sheng Ming and Zheng Mian.

Where did marriage come from?

Zheng Mian explained, "That night in the hotel, we were kissing. It was getting steamy when he stopped and proposed to me."

"What?!" Han Luo could hardly believe her ears.

She turned her chair and grabbed Zheng Mian's hands. She beamed, "Congratulations Mian! My big brother Ming would never propose to you unless he didn't love you. He always turned down girls who proposed to him."

She couldn't believe her innocent cousin was so bold to directly propose to the person he liked. She was so proud of him.

Zheng Mian sighed. "What congratulations? Come on, Luo. You cannot think that I would accept his marriage proposal unless I know his feelings for me. He never told me he liked me."

Han Luo halted. "…Ah… that's true. Big brother Ming is a bit clumsy but his heart is true. However, it's no excuse that he didn't confess his love. When he proposed, it almost sounded like he was legally asking for your body, not your heart."

"That's right!" Zheng Mian firmly agreed.

Han Luo wished she could crack open her big brother Ming's head. She wanted to see what was in there.

How could he propose to a girl without even confessing his feelings first?

Looking at the assignment in her hand, Han Luo felt like she was going to have a headache.

She didn't know where to focus her attention. Assignment or her family.

'No wonder I haven't seen big brother Ming today and had no contact for two days. He must be sad and feeling lost. I have to talk to him.' Han Luo decided.

However, the man in question wasn't ready to talk to his cute little sister.

The reason was…
