Chapter 428 - HAPPY NEW YEAR
Tang Yujin claimed, "So, what now? What are you going to do? It won't be easy for you to get a job anywhere other than your company. You will have a hard time surviving too."
"Big brother Yujin thinks too much. There is nothing to worry about. Why don't we watch a movie? We were planning to watch a horror movie today, right?" Han Luo tactfully changed the subject.
"What?" Ling Brown flinched. She couldn't help but protest, "Horror movie? Why a horror movie on new year's eve? Shouldn't we watch something more joyful?"
"That's because we haven't watched a horror movie together last year. We have to make it up to last year and this year. On your birthday, we will watch a 'joyful' movie, okay?" Han Luo appeased her.
She further added, "And, what are you afraid of? If you are scared, just hug your fiancé." She giggled mischievously when Ling Brown turned red.
Tang Yujin cleared his throat loudly. "All right, you don't have to tease her like that."
Zheng Mian whistled which made Ling Brown unable to raise her head.
"Oh, I didn't know big brother Yujin was so overprotective," Han Luo didn't miss the chance to tease him.
Tang Yujin gave her a friendly smile without a word. It made her zip her lips. Although he was the kindest brother she had, she knew meddling him too much would give her trouble.
Since she didn't want to talk about her next move, others didn't pressure her to spill the beans.
Zheng Mian played the movie after Han Sheng Ming turned off the light. Even before the movie started, the soundtrack sent a chill on Ling Brown's spine. She clung to Tang Yujin.
Tang Yujin quietly glanced at her. His soft eyes wavered in the dark. Light from the television reflected on his eyes.
Beth and Zheng Mian were completely fine. Zheng Mian was thrilled when the ghost arrived behind the female lead, waiting to attack her.
"She is going to die…. She is going to die…" Han Luo mumbled. She shifted close to Mo Yuan, almost as if she would enter his body if she could.
Mo Yuan smiled discreetly. His attention was not at all toward the movie. His eyes were at his beloved girl. He played with her hair while kissing her head.
If he knew she was scared of horror movies, he would take her to watch horror movies in the theater. This way, he could have her hugging him all the time.
'I can set a large television in our bedroom. Whenever she stays, we will watch movies in our bedroom at night,' he planned.
Just the moment the female lead turned around, the ghost attacked her.
"Waaah!"
"Ahhh!"
Ling Brown was frightened and thus she screamed her lungs out. Her acting was so abrupt that Han Luo and Beth shouted with all their might.
Their actions made Han Sheng Ming jump out of his seat. He was sweating. "Wh-who sc-screamed?!" he asked. He couldn't conceal the shakiness in his voice. As a result, he exposed that he was trying to hide his fear.
"…" Other boys quietly stared at him. They acted like – Han Sheng Ming was a disgrace to all men.
Realizing that no one would answer him, he quietly sat down without another word and snuggled close to his girlfriend. Even in this cold, he couldn't help sweating.
Zheng Mian smirked at his childish behavior and then looked at the television screen again. She didn't have the time to check her boyfriend.
Mo Yuan hugged Han Luo close and whispered tenderly, "Don't be afraid, Ah Luo. I'm here."
Although she was mad at him for breaking her trust, she didn't act cold toward him today. She stayed close to him and let him become affectionate with her.
This made him realize that he was finally forgiven. He sighed in relief understanding that. He began to act like a good husband.
After the movie ended, some of them were drenched in sweat for one reason, and others were content for different reasons.
"Guys, don't you feel thirsty?" Han Sheng Ming rubbed his chest while asking.
"Should I make you a glass of hot chocolate?" Han Luo inquired.
Han Sheng Ming couldn't smile at her kindness. "Hot drink… isn't needed at this moment…"
"I'll get some ice cream from the freezer. Who wants some?" Zheng Mian questioned.
"I want!"
"I want!"
"I want!"
Han Sheng Ming and Ling Brown replied at the same time. Their throats were dry. There were no cold drinks in the freezer due to the cold weather. That's why they immediately stated their mind.
Han Luo loved eating ice cream in the winter. Thus, she couldn't refuse this offer.
"Don't eat it. You will catch a cold," Mo Yuan told her.
Han Luo looked at him and uttered, "What if I don't catch a cold?"
Mo Yuan mentioned, "But, you are going to do something big. You shouldn't."
"Is this something to do with your job?" Zheng Mian was quick to catch. "Aren't you worried about that woman?"
"I'm worried about that too," Beth mentioned. "Although that woman let you go for ruining her
husband's career, she won't let you off that easily. I hope you have a plan for that."
"Plan, you say," Han Luo grinned. Her eyes shone in mischief. She remarked, "I have a plan."
"What plan?" everyone inquired in unison.

"Happy new year everyone! I hope you all had fun yesterday. This year a new intern will join us in our department. Please welcome, John Lu," the Department Manager of the Business Development Department in the Mo Corporation, Roosevelt announced in the room.
Everyone looked at the fine Chinese young man with an angelic face. They welcomed him warmly, "Welcome to our family, John."
"Thank you, everyone! Please take care of me from now on!" John Lu stated cheerfully. This young intern was Chinese. His pale skin matched his black hair that was cut short. His black eyes were sparkling in excitement.
The women in the room whispered behind his back:
"Ah, a Chinese boy, finally!"
"He is so handsome!"
"Isn't he cute?"
"As usual, Asian men are the best!"
