My Beloved

The next day, Han Luo woke up late. She yawned while rubbing her eyes and stretching her body. As she looked at the clock she realized that it was half past ten. She rubbed her stomach without. After eating so much last night, she didn't feel much hunger right now. 

'At least I don't have a heavy stomach like last night,' she thought. Last night, she couldn't sleep well because of her heavy stomach. She never ate this much before. 'If it wasn't for Jared and big brother Yuan…' she didn't want to think about it anymore. 

She got up from the bed and went to the washroom to freshen up.

After washing up and changing her clothes, she opened her door and went out. She didn't know why it was chillingly cold today. 

Luckily, she wore a jacket and wrapped a muffler around her neck. She also wore a pair of gloves to prevent her fingers from freezing. Otherwise, she didn't know how to face the endless nagging from Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin. 

She walked aimlessly in the corridor as she went near the elevator. However, she paused when she heard some loud voices coming from the corner of the corridor.

'Did I just hear correctly? I think it was big brother Ming's voice. Did he create another trouble now?' she shook her head helplessly and quickly walked towards the corner of the corridor from where the sound was coming. 

When she got closer, she noticed that the sound came from Han Sheng Ming's room. Just as she neared the room and about to push open the door, she stopped in her tracks after hearing Han Sheng Ming's excited voice.

Han Sheng Ming exclaimed with raging anger perceptible in his voice, "What did you say? Six years? You have to stay in Paris for six years without meeting your parents and friends! Not only that you have to study but also you have to work like a dog these six years. That's inhumane! How did you fall for it? Which son of a b*tch made you sign this contract? I'm so going to smash his head!"

"....." Han Luo's heart raced. She didn't mean to eavesdrop but she couldn't help but continue listening to them. 

"Calm down, Xiao Ming," Tang Yujin calmly said. He looked at Mo Yuan who was standing in front of them with a poker face. He asked, "Is there something you are not telling us?"

Mo Yuan finally replied, "I've already told you what you needed to know. There is nothing else."

Tang Yujin pressed, "For whom are you going to work? At least, you have to tell us that much. You know we will worry. Think about little Luo too."

Under their persistent gaze, Mo Yuan calmly revealed, "I'll be working under the Mu Corporation. I'll use a different identity while I'm working." 

He tried to reason with his friend, "I think it will be a good experience for me. Moreover, they said that I can quit any time I want."

"....." Han Luo covered her mouth. It wasn't the first time she heard the name of this company.

Tang Yujin was stunned. He didn't know how his friend ended up owing to the Mu Corporation. "That's a big company. Though they said that, will you be able to quit halfway?"

"Not at all," Mo Yuan answered.

Han Sheng Ming didn't back down. He said, "So what if it is a big company? Child labor is still child labor and it is illegal. I will complain to the police."

"European law is under the Mu Family. What will you do?" Tang Yujin immediately warned him. After staying in Europe, he had been gathering information on the powerful families and business corporations around Europe. 

Tang Yujin knows very well that he will need this sort of information later when he inherits the family business.

Han Sheng Ming's face blanched. "No way, if we let this happen they will ruin Xiao Yuan. What if they never let him go when he wants to?"

Mo Yuan coolly said, "I haven't signed the contract yet. It is most likely that the signing will be before the new year. I've talked to President Mu personally." 

Tang Yujin sighed. "I have to say, President Mu is a cunning businessman. No wonder that he is the top businessman in the world. He took six years of your life just like that. So, what caused this contract?" He probed again. 

Mo Yuan didn't answer him. He only said, "Whatever it is, just don't tell Ah Luo anything. She will be distracted. I don't want to cause trouble for her. More importantly, I can call you guys any time I want. There won't be any problems."

Han Sheng Ming promised, "I will never tell her. She doesn't need to know anything that will distract her. Even if you are not with us, she won't be affected too much. You guys have not been close since the very beginning."

At this point, he was right. He never saw Mo Yuan being so close to Han Luo since they were children. 

However, it changed slightly after she went to London. Not only they became closer, but Mo Yuan also became persistent. He even wanted Han Luo to stay with him in his house. 

It annoyed Han Sheng Ming a lot. However, it seemed that things changed a lot in the past month. When Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin came to Paris, they saw a line between Han Luo and Mo Yuan. Seeing how distant Han Luo was from Mo Yuan, it pleased Han Sheng Ming greatly.

Tang Yujin added, "We will take care of little Luo. You don't have to worry about her." He wondered, 'Are they that close enough for Xiao Yuan to think about little Luo? Was it after they came to Paris? Why didn't little Luo tell me anything over the phone? I must investigate it thoroughly. As for other matters…'

Han Luo didn't hear what else they talked about.. Her ears started buzzing and her head felt dizzy with the newfound information.
