My Beloved

[A/N: Han Luo need to grow up faster for the sake of our indecent hearts. So, help me with all you got! Let's fight together my comrades!!!]

"Luo, are you going out with Yuan?" Jared asked her without a greeting.

Han Luo took a deep breath and answered, "No, why of all people you are asking that? You know there is nothing between us."

Jared helplessly pointed out, "Well, you do visit him frequently and sometimes stay overnight."

"Wow, I didn't know you progressed that far," Beth commented. It was news to her.

Han Luo was speechless for a second before saying, "Look guys, you know how close I am with big brother Yuan's family. Since my childhood, I was used to staying at their house for days. It's nothing special. Also, can you speak in a low tone?"

Jared commented, "Yeah, you are close enough to call Yuan's mother 'mom'."

"She is my mommy's best friend and she practically raised me," Han Luo gave him the reason.

Jared stared at her for a moment before stating, "I know my mom's best friend but I never called her 'mom'."

Han Luo was a bit offended by his comment. Her tone subconsciously turned cold when she said, "That's because you have your mom to call her 'mom'."

Jared realized that he made a mistake. He tried to say, "Luo, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way-"

Han Luo politely interrupted him, "It doesn't matter what you mean. I don't understand why you are all so worked up about my personal issue. Have you ever seen me nosing about your issues? I'm not interested in dealing with this anymore. That's why I asked Beth to write that article. Could you please stop thinking that anything is going on?"

Jared apologized once again, "I'm sorry Luo. I was just worried about you. I didn't understand how you were feeling. I won't talk about it in the future."

"It's fine. Let's just forget it," saying that Han Luo entered her classroom.

Jared silently stared at her back.

He wanted to say that he went to visit her multiple times but most of the time he was blocked by Mo Yuan and Han Sheng Ming. Other times, he saw her spending time with Mo Yuan.

Her time with Mo Yuan was anything but normal. They kept playing with their hands, hair, and talking in a low tone with a smile hanging on their lips.

Which normal people would act like that?

How could Jared not think that there wasn't anything going on?

"That's a good pose! Could you smile a bit for me, Luo'er? …Great! …Look at the camera… Perfect!"

In the studio, Ma Rui took several pictures for Han Luo.

Han Luo was working under the Mo Corporation. The Mo Corporation collaborated with another company. It was another summer project.

Since Han Luo was already popular among the teenage models, they wanted her, the newcomer, to work on this.

Han Luo had completely recovered half a month ago and she didn't mind working.

And, her photographer was Ma Rui as always. She didn't work with people who didn't hire Ma Rui as the photographer.

Therefore, Ma Rui becoming her personal photographer became an unwritten contract.

Han Luo was wearing an orange swimsuit with dark pink flowers printed on it. Her lower body was under the sea. She became a beach model.

After burning under the brightly shining sun for a couple of hours, Han Luo's work was finally done.

Everyone clapped to encourage her. They were pleased with her work.

She took a quick bath in her hotel room and changed her clothes. She went to meet Ma Rui.

Ma Rui was talking with two company employees. They were the ones who offered this project to the Mo Corporation.

They praised Han Luo non-stop because they were satisfied with her performance.

One of them was a female. Her name was Jacqueline. She said, "We would like to work with you and Luo again in the future."

"Likewise," Ma Rui shook hands with them.

Han Luo wasn't able to get closer to them. Before that, someone barged into the lobby. She looked like an employee of that company.

She said, "Jacqueline, this is bad. The model for the Ravishing Bride said that she wouldn't be able to make it today."

"What? Why? Did you ask her why?" Jacqueline's face paled.

The girl seemed so nervous that her legs were shaking. "I-I did. She said that she forgot that she had another shooting. So…"

Jacqueline frowned. "She did it on purpose. I'm sure this is because of the Jones Corporation."

Ma Rui's ears perked up upon hearing the name 'Jones Corporation'.

She politely asked, "I'm sorry if I'm intruding but did something happen between your company and Jones Corporation?"

Jacqueline explained, "When they heard that we are going to use the Mo Corporation's model for the Beach Teen project, they offered us another model for it. We didn't agree because we already had Luo in our minds. That's why they poach the model we hired for Ravishing Bride."

Ma Rui frowned. "That's terrible. I knew they weren't in good terms with the Mo Corporation but to think they would sabotage a company like yours, it's really bad. Their management is very poor and cheap."

"Jones, that name sounds familiar," Han Luo commented. She stepped forward and asked Ma Rui, "Mom, isn't that boy Alex is the heir of the Jones Corporation?"

"Yes, that's his father's company," Ma Rui answered. She didn't like that family.

Han Luo declared, "Then we should help Jacqueline and show the Jones Corporation that they are too immature to run a company."

Han Luo didn't like Alex who was always after Han Sheng Ming, Mo Yuan, and Tang Yujin. He even deliberately tried to provoke her by trying to assault her.

If possible, she would try to help this company and show the Jones Corporation that the Mo Corporation was far better than the Jones Corporation. 

Zheng Mian was at home. It was Saturday and she was doing nothing today. She could ask her to come here and to be their model.

However, she didn't expect that Jacqueline would suddenly grab her hands and ask, "Why don't you become our model?"
