My Beloved

Chapter 371 - RISE AND SHINE



"If you are talking about your romantic nightmare, yes it ended last night. Have you forgotten already? Or do you even want to forget?" Noah was being sarcastic because he wanted to lift his little punk's mood.

However, 'the little punk' seemed even more upset. "I'm not getting up. I don't want to go to school."

Noah didn't grant her wish though, "That won't do. Your homework is piling up on the table. Have you ever noticed that?"

He clutched the comforter and pulled it away. After that, he grabbed her left leg and pulled her out of the bed just like he used to do when she was a child. Even though she grew up into a young beautiful lady, in his eyes, she was still a six years old child.

Noah scratched his cheek and probed, "Are you sure? I believe that you need to meet someone who wasn't supposed to talk to you today. Or maybe, I'm mistaking something-"

Han Luo's eyes flew open. She jumped out of the bed and hurried over to the bathroom while saying, "Oh no! I have to meet big brother Yuan!"

Noah instructed from behind, "Don't get caught by others. You two promised not to meet."

"That's what big brother Yuan promised, not me," Han Luo replied. After freshening up, she quickly returned to get dressed.

As soon as she was out of her closet, Noah served her some bread and jam with orange juice and asked, "Are you sure you want to eat so little?"

"Yes, I want big brother Ming to know that I'm suffering because of his tantrum." Han Luo sat on her bed cross-legged, before reaching out for a piece of bread. She bit the bread and tore it with her teeth. Then, she began to chew unhurriedly.

"Cheeky plan, even for you," Noah commented. After a pause, he told her, "You can always ignore what he says."

Han Luo shook her head. "No, I cannot. He is an important family member who chose me over his own sisters. I cannot do this to him. I have no right to hurt him. I thought about it and I think his anger is reasonable. He just feels betrayed."

She could never hurt Han Sheng Ming because she knew how much he sacrificed for her sake. She would forever be grateful to Han Sheng Ming for standing up for her and going against his own mother and two sisters. She could never forget what he had done for her. She ruined his happy family. She was indebted for a lifetime to him.

She added, "But I'm more worried about big brother Yuan. He was hurt badly."

She even texted Mo Yuan last night but he didn't reply to her messages. She felt even more restless after that. She decided that she must meet him and plan what they should do next.

Noah assured her saying, "He is a man. Don't worry about him. A light punch won't kill him. By the way, how will you go to school? Shall I drive you there?"

Han Luo finished her breakfast and looked at him. "Will you, Noah? I wish I could contact Beth but it's too late now. I'll tell her today to take me to school from tomorrow."

Noah questioned her in concern, "Are you sure? Can you handle the speed?"

Han Luo was still suffering from two traumatic car accidents. She was very scared of speed. Noah was worried that she would have another trauma after riding a motorcycle.

Han Luo stated, "I have to overcome it sooner or later. Maybe this way I can have the courage to drive a car on my own. I can't depend on others forever."

 "Suit yourself." Noah shrugged.

He always admired her optimism and encouraged her to do what she wanted to do. Noah was a true guardian of Han Luo.

Han Luo went downstairs and accidentally met Han Sheng Ming. She halted on her tracks.

Han Sheng Ming also wasn't expecting to meet her since her class was at noon and it was nine in the morning. He hesitated before starting, "…Err… little Luo-"

However, before he could finish, Han Luo walked past him. She pretended to be angry and avoided him.

The rest of the words were stuck inside Han Sheng Ming's throat. He had already calmed down quite a bit. Seeing the bags under her reddened eyes, his guilty conscience started to poke him again.

"Ah, Miss Han looks so pitiful. She skipped dinner yesterday and didn't have much in the morning either. She will grow weak if this continues," the talkative maid Poppy spoke in a sad tone. "I've never seen her so upset before. Miss Han is so good to others but some people can't tolerate her happiness. So sad…" she lamented.

"I hope everything will be over soon. I want the peace to come back to this house," Eva commented. She sighed and told the fellow maid, "Let's get back to work."

"Okay," Poppy nodded.

From the stairs, Han Sheng Ming heard their conversation and his mood became sour. He climbed the stairs and went into his bedroom. He strode toward his bed and sat down on the edge of the bed. After that, he covered his face and exhaled deeply.

He didn't want her to suffer and cause her any pain. He thought what he had done was for her betterment. He couldn't accept that some man would take advantage of his precious sister, even if it was Mo Yuan, his childhood best friend.

However, seeing Han Luo's pale, tired, sad face, he felt restless.

"Are you regretting what you did yesterday?" a familiar voice asked.

Zheng Mian saw him going to his room with a dark expression and followed after him. When she saw him sighing, she voiced her thoughts.

"I regret nothing," Han Sheng Ming replied. She didn't want to show his miserable expression to his girlfriend. He stood up and sat on the chair.. He opened a book and pretended to study.
