'Was he in love with me after he found out my true self?' The sudden realization hit her hard. Han Luo gasped and gaped at him. She was speechless. Her throat began to hurt.
Mo Yuan seemed surprised as he gazed at her. He wiped her cheeks. "Why are you crying?"
"I…" Only then Han Luo realized that tears were falling from her eyes. "I guess I'm happy." She grinned at him.
Mo Yuan's heart melted seeing her happy face and tears of joy. He cupped her face and kissed her forehead.
"Clap! Clap! Clap!" Beth began to clap first. Soon, others clapped as well. The hall filled with the sound of applause.
Mo Yuan didn't bother to look at the crowd. His eyes were fixed at the beloved woman in his arms. His lips trailed down to her nose and then lips, but Han Luo stopped him before he could touch her lips.
"What are you doing? Mom and dad are here; and others too," she reprimanded him in a soft tone.
Mo Yuan chuckled. His fingers brushed over some of her strands. "Are you worried about that now? Then, let's go somewhere others wouldn't bother us." He swiftly carried her in his arms. As he walked out of the hall, others cheered for the couple.
"Ah, I'm late. Where's everyone?" Han Sheng Ming entered Mo Yuan's house and asked Adam, one of Ma Rui's servants.
"Everyone is at the reception hall, Young Master Han," Adam replied.
Han Sheng Ming stated, "Oh, is that so? We will go there now but give me a glass of water. I'm thirsty."
"Please come with me," Adam escorted them to the dining room
"If it wasn't for my work, you wouldn't be late today," Zheng Mian said.
Han Sheng Ming objected, "What are you talking about? I knew you would be busy tonight and that's why I went to fetch you. Also…" he lowered his head and scratched his head as he continued, "…I wanted to come with you."
Zheng Mian smirked upon hearing his reason. She couldn't miss the chance to tease him, "Honey, are you shy?"
"H-honey!" Han Sheng Ming was completely flustered. His heart skipped a beat when she called him in a lovely and intimate way.
"Aren't you the cutest?" Zheng Mian kissed his cheek. She snickered seeing his face turning into a tomato.
Han Sheng Ming quickly took a glass of water and drank it in one gulp.
Just then, those two saw Mo Yuan carrying Han Luo upstairs. They didn't seem to see the guests. Mo Yuan directly strode to his room without looking anywhere.
"!!!" Han Sheng Ming's jaw dropped on the floor and so did his heart. The empty glass slipped from his hand and fell on the floor. It shattered into pieces.
The couple who caused the commotion already entered the bedroom and didn't hear the loud sound of glass breaking.
"Wh-what is going on?" Han Sheng Ming stuttered. He couldn't come up with any logic why his best friend was carrying his cute little sister in his (Mo Yuan's) bedroom.
The only reason to take one's girlfriend in a bedroom could be – Han Sheng Ming gasped. He quickly ran after them. There was no way he could let them be alone in a bedroom. His brotherhood was boiling to kick some ass.
As he proceeded toward the stairs, someone blocked his way. "Oh my, it's Xiao Ming. Aren't you late?"
Han Sheng Ming looked past her. He wanted to step forward but couldn't because of Ma Rui.
She noticed Zhen Mian and talked to her, "Xiao Mian, you have come with Xiao Ming. How was your day?"
"It was a busy day. Thank you for inviting me," Zheng Mian smiled at her as she answered. She personally liked this carefree, intelligent woman and respected her as an elder.
Ma Rui commented, "What are you talking about? You are a special friend of Luo'er and Xiao Ming's girlfriend. Of course, I would invite you." She didn't stop there. She suggested, "Since you are late, you must be hungry. The dinner is going to serve soon. Why don't you join others? Now, go, go, go…" As she spoke, she pushed Han Sheng Ming and Zheng Mian out of the house, urging them to go to the hall.
Han Sheng Ming wasn't easy to budge. He hesitated, "But little Luo Luo…"
"Ah, don't worry about them. If you disturb the lovebirds, it will be a crime." Ma Rui gave him a wink. After practically kicking them out of the house, she let out a deep breath and promised to herself, 'I must protect their lovely night with my life on the line.'
"Dear, what are you doing here?" Mo Zhen came to find his wife and questioned her.
Ma Rui spoke in a serious tone, "Honey, I cannot leave my post now. I have to command you to entertain our guests."
Mo Zhen raised an eyebrow. "You mean you want me to entertain some kids?" He was the President of the Mo Corporation. Could anyone imagine him entertaining his son's classmates? That's ridiculous no matter how much he thought about it. Even so, he gave in to his wife's order. "Let me see what I can do."
As soon as he was out of his wife's sight, he went to find Tang Yujin. He found his son's friend alone. Mo Zhen approached him and asked, "Why aren't you with your fiancée?"
Tang Yujin wasn't expecting him. He smiled at him and politely replied, "She is having fun with her friends. That's why I'm not bothering her. It has been a while, Uncle Mo. How have you been?"
Mo Zhen took a glass of wine from the waiter and stated, "I'm fine; just busy as usual. It has indeed been a while since I last saw you. I haven't seen you at the party in the new year."
Tang Yujin answered, "I've been with Xiao Yuan and the rest."
"Oh yes, I remember. But, your grandfather was expecting you.. Is that okay to disobey him?" Mo Zhen questioned precisely knowing what kind of person Elder Tang was.
