Chapter 216 - SOMETHING BROTHERLY
It wasn't the first time Han tempted her big brother Yuan with a spoiled and childish manner. When he pondered deeply, he understood that he became jealous when she argued with Han Sheng Ming about her relationship with Jared yesterday. It made him annoyed.
That's why he got more of a reason to avoid her. He thought, since she had all her big brothers and her boy friend, he didn't need her anymore. She could do whatever she wanted without restraint.
He was sulking for two days and didn't talk to her. He didn't spare a single glance at her. He thought he had to stop seeing her control his overflowing emotions and desire to capture her and imprison her so that others couldn't see his treasure.
He looked down at the precious being that was taking a nap soundly. She had no care about the world. His heart softened and continued to caress her head.
He had already touched the forbidden fruit. Although it would take time to ripe, he didn't dislike the sour, immature taste of hers. He liked everything about her. He whispered, "Ah Luo, hurry up and grow up. I don't think I can hold back any longer."
He stayed with her like that a bit longer. He already locked the door; so no one would be able to disturb them for a while.
The couple was busy dreaming. One was dreaming while sleeping and another one was daydreaming. While they dreamed, someone took some photos of them secretly and left.
After school, Han Sheng Ming ran to the infirmary. When he tried to open it, it seemed locked. He banged the door anxiously.
A nurse opened the door and apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't think I accidentally locked the door." She didn't have a habit of closing the door and locking it. She was busy reading a book. She tried to think of what happened when she came back.
The door was locked and she knocked only to find Mo Yuan was inside. He said that Han Luo was slightly injured and he was accompanying her since the doctor wasn't here. Han Luo was still sleeping. She checked her injuries and said that it would be all right after a few days' rest. Afterward, she was reading a book and vaguely noticed Mo Yuan going out once.
She thought, 'It couldn't be him, right?' Then again, he was such a good kid. She had no reason to doubt him.
Han Sheng Ming replied, "It's fine. Where is my little Luo Luo?"
"She is right there." The nurse pointed at the corner.
He took long steps and opened the curtain. He saw Mo Yuan helping her to wear her socks and shoes. She was about to get out of bed.
Han Sheng Ming moved closer and hugged her. "Little Luo Luo, I was so afraid when I heard that you fell from the stairs. Where did you hurt? Tell him. I'll take you to the hospital and let the best doctor check your wounds."
"I'm fine. It's nothing serious. I was careless and tripped. Thank goodness that big brother Yuan saw me and caught me before I could get hurt," Han Luo didn't mention that she was going after Mo Yuan and had this accident. If she did, her hot-headed cousin would surely blame it on Mo Yuan who did nothing wrong.
However, Mo Yuan felt even guiltier as she tried to cover up that it was partially his fault.
Han Sheng Ming patted his friend's back and commented, "For the first time in your life, you did something brotherly to little Luo Luo. I'm so happy that you accepted her as your sister."
'So this is why he was always hostile to me. He thought I didn't care about Ah Luo like a sibling. He thought since I didn't like girls, I would hate her too.' Mo Yuan's lips twitched. He calmly responded, "That's what I should do."
Tang Yujin came late since he had a council meeting. He was very concerned about her injuries just like his other two friends. They went back home afterward.
Han Sheng Ming and Han Luo entered their house when they met Han Changhong. He was standing in the doorway to welcome them. He smiled kindly toward his son and cute niece and gave them a warm hug. "How are you two doing?"
"We are doing fine. Daddy, when did you come back?" Han Sheng Ming asked.
"Oh, big brother Ming, that's not how you greet uncle." Han Luo chided him and smiled brightly at her uncle. "Uncle, welcome home. Have you been well?"
"See, my son, this is how you should talk to your parents," Han Changhong lectured his son who nodded carelessly. He shook his head and told Han Luo, "I'm fine Luo'er. I just came back from China. From today onward, I'll stay with you. Is that okay?"
Han Luo grabbed his hands and happily exclaimed, "Yes! I'll be so happy if you do that."
A year ago, when his wife and daughters secretly came to London and created a scene, Han Changhong came here despite being busy and apologized to Han Luo countless times. Afterward, he dragged his wife and daughters out of the hotel. He wanted to take them back with him but Du Liu shrieked and caused more problems for him.
In the end, he had to apply for their citizenship and bought them a house that was far away from Bishop's Avenue. Those three lived there alone and sometimes when Han Changhong came to visit them, he would stay here so that his wife and daughters wouldn't nag him to buy her clothes and jewelry. Here, things were more expensive than in China. It wouldn't take much time before he turned into a poor person because of his wife and daughters.
Han Changhong, Han Sheng Ming, and Han Luo sat in the dining room to have dinner. The three of them seem very harmonious.
While eating, Han Changhong raised the topic he wanted to for a long time, "Luo'er, you are growing up and you understand lots of things about our tradition. Don't you know Yujin from the Tang Family? How about you consider him as your future husband?"
