Chapter 437 - THE TRUTH
Elder Tang wasn't the kindest grandfather in the world. Therefore, Mo Zhen asked Tang Yujin, "But, your grandfather was expecting you. Is that okay to disobey him?"
Tang Yujin let out a gentle smile. "What's the point of obeying him when I couldn't get what I wanted?"
"You mean… Luo'er?" Mo Zhen caught quicker than the younger one expected.
Tang Yujin looked at the champagne glass he was holding. "It seems like uncle is aware." He didn't lie. There was no point in hiding this truth. So what others knew?
Mo Zhen commented truthfully, "She is a charming girl. I believe a man who doesn't like her has bad taste."
Han Luo was a charming, honest girl who's always kind to others. She was hardworking and always full of hope. Who wouldn't love a girl like that?
[A/N: Should have added "she is also seductive in bed" XD ]
Tang Yujin chuckled. "That's right." He couldn't agree more. If he could, he would have added more. His dark eyes were wavering.
Mo Zhen inquired, "But, for such loss, are you going to stick in the past or walk in the present and think about the future? I mean, it is your life. You can do whatever you want."
He wouldn't personally guide anyone unless it's his son and Han Luo. However, Tang Yujin was like his son. He saw him growing up. He knew how remarkable Tang Yujin was. He would be sad if this boy was ruined in front of his eyes.
Tang Yujin twirled the cherry inside the champagne and stated, "Would it be so bad to live in the past? I'm the one who pushed her away. I know that. But, I can't feel but feel greedy."
If he could, he would snatch her away and go to a faraway land where no one would recognize them. However, if he did it, she would be very upset. And, he had no desire to make her unhappy. If he could, he wanted her to smile for the rest of her life. To do that, he must leave her with her beloved man, Mo Yuan.
Mo Zhen mentioned, "Luo'er would be sad if you stay like this forever. She will torment herself if when she will find out that she is the reason for your decision."
Tang Yujin's hand paused. He cursed inwardly. Why didn't he think of it? Since childhood, he was never close with his family. They always wanted him to be the best in everything.
They never tried to think of his position, his desire, his happiness. He wanted to play with toys but ended up reading the encyclopedia till dawn. He woke up early and learned Judo, Karate.
He obediently followed everything his parents and grandfather said. They gave him expensive gifts, clothes, food but they couldn't give him the love he sought. None of his family members were there to save him when he was punished by his grandfather.
However, Mo Yuan, Han Sheng Ming, and of course Han Luo were there to support him. He gave him mental strength and cheered up every time he felt down. Especially Han Luo – she would make him laugh with funny stories and bake him his favorite sweets.
How would she feel when she would find out that he lost his way because he wasn't able to have her? Her smile would vanish from her lips. She would be devastated.
Tang Yujin let out a deep breath. He smiled at Mo Zhen and remarked, "Xiao Yuan and little Luo are very lucky to have you, Uncle Mo."
Mo Zhen smirked. He stepped closer and gave him a piece of advice, "Listen son, if you need any love advice, just ask me. I will help you. That fiancée of yours isn't half bad. She is very considerate. It's not too late to be happy. You deserve it."
Tang Yujin laughed aloud. "I will remember that."
While they were chatting, Han Sheng Ming came to look for them. Tang Yujin wasn't surprised seeing his friend's devastating expression. "When did you arrive?"
"I… I just arrived with Ming," Han Sheng Ming was panting as if he ran a marathon.
"You don't look okay," Mo Zhen mentioned.
Han Sheng Ming shouted, "'Okay'?! How can I be okay? I just saw a beast taking my little red riding hood inside the bedroom!"
Upon hearing their commotion, Beth and Sean got closer. "Why is he speaking so loud?"
"Maybe it's genetic," Sean commented. They recalled how a few moments ago Han Weiwei ruined the party. Her eldest brother also started another drama.
"Little red riding hood? Who is it?" Beth asked Han Sheng Ming in confusion.
"My baby sister!" Han Sheng Ming cried.
Finally, Beth and others understood who he was talking about. His 'baby sister' was indeed carried by a 'savage beast'.
But, was it okay to call a person 'beast' in his house in front of his father?
Everyone's eyes shifted toward Mo Zhen.
Mo Zhen coughed to cover up his laughter. He didn't have any say in this. If Han Luo married, the person who would be more upset than anyone else was Han Sheng Ming. He didn't want to break this poor guy's heart on this joyous occasion.
However, his wish didn't come true as Sean stated, "Ming, don't worry about it. Yuan has the legal right to take her to his bedroom."
Han Sheng Ming looked dumbfounded. His head couldn't process the code 'legal right'. He inquired with a silly expression on his face, "What do you mean?"
"They are engaged," Tang Yujin declared.
"Nani!?!?!?!" Han Sheng Ming's voice echoed in the room.
---------------
Meanwhile, Mo Yuan carried his beloved into their bedroom and kicked the door to lock it automatically.
He placed her on the bed and quickly hovered over her. His lips covered her completely. He couldn't wait to devour her.
But, someone didn't seem to get along with his plan. Han Luo pushed his chest and softly spoke, "Wait, wait, I haven't given you a present. We mustn't do this until I give you the present."
"What present?"
