Chapter 369 - MARK WHAT'S HIS
While Mo Yuan was driving, Tang Yujin called him. The moment Mo Yuan answered the call, he said, "Come to my house."
"Okay," Mo Yuan agreed. He turned over the car and drove to Tang Yujin's mansion.
After he arrived, he was welcomed by the Head Butler. He took Mo Yuan to his usual guest room. There, Tang Yujin was already waiting for him. He was sitting on a chair beside the window. He had yet to change his clothes. It seemed like he had nothing to talk about. As usual, he didn't waste any time and directly went to the main conversation.
"So, you recently started dating little Luo." It wasn't a question. It was an affirmation that he wanted from his childhood friend.
"That's right," Mo Yuan confirmed. Since their relationship was exposed, he didn't have to hide it any longer.
Tang Yujin narrowed his eyes. He thought at that time in front of Han Sheng Ming Mo Yuan and Han Luo were lying because others knew that their relationship was more than just normal brother and sister.
He inquired, "What about before? Didn't you two have an intimate relationship?"
He thought his friend would be truthful to him. In his opinion, Han Luo wouldn't be intimate unless they were really going out. Although he never saw them becoming intimate in front of others, he still couldn't forget her conversation with Mo Yuan.
That's when he first heard about them sleeping together and talking like that. If he didn't hear them talking, he would never believe that this could happen to Han Luo who was so pure and innocent.
"…" Mo Yuan didn't answer him. He didn't feel like explaining it to his friend. He moved toward the table and poured a glass of water for himself.
Tang Yujin's expression hardened when he didn't get any answer. He stated, "You know I have the right to know."
After drinking, Mo Yuan put down the glass and looked at his friend. He smirked. "What right? For acting like a big brother all these years or sending the marriage proposal first or not accepting her for who she is?"
Tang Yujin felt humiliated. He remembered that he had a chance to win over her but he missed it because of his attitude. He told Mo Yuan, "You know why."
Mo Yuan looked straight in his eyes and said, "My relationship with her has nothing to do with anyone, Yujin."
"Since you are dating now, I assume that you two were flirting… no, you were taking advantage of little Luo's innocence," Tang Yujin confirmed. Since Mo Yuan wouldn't tell him anything, he assumed from what he evaluated.
"Think whatever you like." Mo Yuan shrugged.
Han Luo was the most mischievous and the sweetest girl he knew. Although he initiated sometimes, other times she would seduce him with her charm to tease him. Both of them were mutually physically attracted to each other. However, he didn't want to tell others. He wanted to keep that sweet, tempting girl hidden from other watchful eyes.
He didn't mind others misunderstanding him for this. As long as she was unharmed, he would get along with anything.
Tang Yujin clenched his fists. Immense anger rose from the deepest part of his heart. He threw a punch at Mo Yuan. After that, he hissed in anger, "You deserve this." Then, he turned around and stormed away.
This time, Mo Yuan's left face was marked. He didn't retort this time either.
'I'll take this in exchange for making Yujin believe that we had done the deed,' he thought.
He knew that if he didn't pretend to act like they went to the last stage and use Han Luo's innocence along with it, he wouldn't be able to get rid of Tang Yujin easily.
Back then in the hospital, he heard Han Luo's conversation with Zheng Mian and Beth. At that time, he found out that Han Luo's first crush was Tang Yujin.
He couldn't blame her for fantasizing about Tang Yujin who was so kind to her and he, on the other hand, was cold toward her. Even so, his heart was suffocated.
He nearly lost all his hope to be with her. He thought that he loved her and so he wanted her to be happy. If she would be happy with Tang Yujin, he would have blessed her and would have never mentioned his feelings. He decided to bury everything deep in his heart.
In spite of acting generous, he lost his sleep when he heard that Elder Tang sent a marriage proposal to Han Luo.
He knew that Tang Yujin truly liked Han Luo. He expected that Tang Yujin would accept her for who she was. Thinking that he eagerly waited for Han Luo's answer.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yujin completely rejected her after finding out her true self. That was truly shocking for him. Only then he decided not to let Tang Yujin have Han Luo. He thought that she deserved a better man.
What surprised him the most was that Han Luo deliberately showed her true self to Tang Yujin because she didn't want to cheat him. She wanted to have a stable relationship with Tang Yujin where there would be no fakeness.
Mo Yuan admired her for that. Not many women would have the courage to show their true selves to their loved ones in case they were being hated.
Mo Yuan kept falling for her deeper and he swore that he wouldn't hurt her as Tang Yujin did. When he heard that Han Luo rejected Tang Yujin's proposal, he seemed to be revived.
He took that opportunity to move Han Luo away from Tang Yujin for a while and then marked her his. When Tang Yujin called him to find out about Han Luo, he didn't want him to have new hope.
And, Mo Yuan didn't regret his decision or action. If he didn't do it back then and made her head and mind occupied, she would have been taken by Tang Yujin and lead an unhappy life.
How could he accept that?
