My Beloved

Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow. "You are the one who is allowed to joke but I'm not?"

"Ah, so you were joking," Han Luo sighed in relief. "Your jokes seemed pretty believable; even I couldn't guess that it was just a joke." 

Mo Yuan placed his hand on her shoulder and asked, "Did you think you are the only one who can act?"

Han Luo truthfully spoke, "I don't think that way. I thought it's you who didn't know how to act, but think that you act so seriously, you can become a professional actor if you want." While she was still talking about what was on her mind, she didn't forget to joke about his personality.

Mo Yuan could understand her after hearing her tone. He pinched her cheek. "Shouldn't I tell you that? You are a child prodigy who can hide your true self since your childhood."

His words were so abrupt and came out of nowhere. 

Han Luo froze on the spot. At first, she didn't know what to say. Some moments later, she forced a smile and pretended that she didn't know what he said, "Big brother Yuan, are do you mean?"

Mo Yuan's eyebrows moved. He asked her back, "What do you think?"

"I don't understand what you mean by me hiding things from you. I don't remember hiding anything. Above all, what is there for me to hide?" The more she talked, the more her palms were sweating. 

"I know," Mo Yuan quietly acknowledged.

"You know?" Han Luo was confused. She couldn't understand what he meant by he knew? What did he know? For some reason, her intelligent brain was unable to come up with a simple answer. It was only because she wasn't expecting it from the start.

Mo Yuan dropped the bomb. "I know you are hiding your true self."

"Big brother Yuan…" Han Luo's eyes grew large. Her black pearl like eyes shook in fear and some unknown reasons. Her face lost color as if her blood was sucked away. She tried to move away from him.

Mo Yuan quickly caught her by her waist and said in a calm and collected voice, "I also want you to know that I don't dislike your true self. That's why you can be your true self when you are around me." His eyes were serious and he wanted her to know what he was saying that was coming from the bottom of his heart. 

Han Luo's heart throbbed madly. She carefully looked at him and asked warily, "I-is that okay?"

It was the first time Mo Yuan heard her stutter. He stroked her head gently to ease her. Afterward, he softened his voice and asked her back, "Did I say that it's not okay?"

Han Luo's heart was beating fast. She was afraid to think about it positively and become disappointed. "B-but-"

"I want to know more about you whether it is good or bad. Ah Luo, no one is perfect in this world. It's all right if you show more of your naughty and delinquent side. Do whatever you want in front of me. I won't mind at all. Moreover, I would be overjoyed if you become freer with me just like you are with Noah," saying that he smiled and pinched her nose. "Naughty one, if I didn't know you had such an interesting side on you, do you think I would want to know you more and more?" 

Han Luo touched her nose that was turned red by him. She was afraid that her nose and cheeks would fall one day because of his pinching. She pouted her lips and gave him an annoyed look. If she knew that he was only close to her because of her 'interesting side', she wouldn't be this close to him at all.

The more she thought about it, the more she got annoyed. Since he already knew about her true self, she didn't want to hide it anymore. She stomped on his leg and glared at him. "Since I only interest you because of my 'interesting side', I better leave. I don't want anyone who is only interested in me because of something like this." She turned around and tried to leave.

Her sudden change of mood scared Mo Yuan. His heart skipped a bit and quickly grabbed her hand. "Don't leave." He wasn't able to hide the fact that he was desperate.

Han Luo struggled. She thought that after being apart from him for so many years, he finally got close to her because he liked her. In the beginning, she thought that he thought of her as his younger sister and so he cared for her. 

But, then he said that wasn't the case. He didn't see her either as a sister or a friend. He said that he would say after four years. She didn't know why he said that when he would disclose this matter to her now. 

However, she patiently kept waiting and got closer to him from the bottom of her heart. If she knew that he was only getting close to her because she was hiding her true self and became interested, she would never get close to him and stay away from him just like before. 

'Did he think I was acting close to him?' That simple thought shook her head. She just hid her true self. She never forced herself to be with them. She willingly got close to them because she thought of them as her own. 

'Will he even believe if I say that I was pretending to be spoiled, cute, familiar? There is no way he would, would he?' She pondered about it and choked. 

She knows that she is naughty however she is a good girl too. She acts cute because she wants to. She only acts spoiled when she is around the people she likes. She only acts familiar with people she was close with. 

Just like she never acts cute and spoiled in front of Noah, she never talks like a delinquent in front of others.
