My Beloved

Tang Yujin entered into a quiet, elegant pub. He looked around and found Han Sheng Ming sitting in the corner. He helplessly shrugged. He strode to Han Sheng Ming's direction and sat beside him.

He ordered a beer for himself. "So, what's up with you?" he asked his friend.

Han Sheng Ming sighed deeply. "I was rejected."

"The most popular guy in the school was rejected. Should I congratulate you or comfort you?"

"I didn't call you to make fun of me."

"All right. No more jokes. Was it Zheng Mian?"

Upon hearing her name, Han Sheng Ming let out a deep sigh.

Tang Yujin already got his answer. "Okay, if she turns you down, then there is something you must have done. Tell me where you screwed up."

Han Sheng Ming shook his head vigorously. He looked like a child who was sulking after being falsely blamed. "It wasn't me who screwed up, okay! …I thought it would be better to get married first before having a romantic physical relationship."

"Get married!" Tang Yujin gave him an astonishing look. "Don't you think it's too early to get married?"

Han Sheng Ming pouted. "Saying someone who is already engaged. I would rather hear it from Xiao Yuan."

"Are you sure about that?" Tang Yujin let out a laugh.

Mo Yuan was more experienced than any of them ever imagined that he would be. If it wasn't for the phone call, Tang Yujin would never believe if someone said that Mo Yuan was experienced in that field.

"Yes! I'm sure!" Han Sheng Ming slapped the bar counter.

"You are drunk. Lower your voice," Tang Yujin warned him in a low tone.

"I'm no…..t drunk! Why didn't Mian accept my proposal?" Han Sheng Ming's red eyes well up with tears.

Tang Yujin sighed. "Maybe because you didn't propose to her correctly. Did you take a ring with flowers or chocolates to propose to her?"

Han Sheng Ming looked puzzled. "How can those simple objects show my love for her?"

Tang Yujin began to have a headache. His friend was truly a clueless person. "Well, women these days like this. If you really cherish a girl, can't you do something she likes? What kind of guy are you?" 

Suddenly something popped in his head. "…Wait, did you propose to her without a ring?"

"Yeah, so?" Han Sheng Ming shrugged.

Tang Yujin bluntly and yet clearly announced, "You acted insincerely."

Han Sheng Ming hit his own chest and justified for himself, "My heart is true."

Tang Yujin asked him, "Will she fry your heart and eat it? Without affection, what is love anyway?"

"I care about her," Han Sheng Ming proudly declared. His ears turned red in embarrassment.

Tang Yujin sipped on his beer and questioned his drunkard friend, "And, how did you show her that you care for her? How many times did you praise her? How many times did you let her understand that she is special in your eyes? All I saw you two fighting all the time."

"This…." Han Sheng Ming choked.

"What do you exactly like about her?" Tang Yujin inquired.

Han Sheng Ming smiled purely when he thought about her. "I like how smart she is. She is strong too. She can kick off anyone who messes up with her. She doesn't rely on anyone. She is independent. She doesn't go after men like those girls in our school. After little Luo Luo, she is the best."

Tang Yujin rubbed his forehead. He couldn't help but smile after hearing his friend's honest confession. "What about her face?"

"She is pretty… very pretty…" Han Sheng Ming's whole face turned crimson while answering this question. He tried to recall just how many times he had seen her naked.

When he thought about how he felt when her soft, luscious body rubbed against him, his face was hot. He shook his head to forget about it.

Tang Yujin patted his friend's back and advised him, "Just the way you said it to me, you have to appreciate the girl you like in front of her or else, she wouldn't understand that you like her. She cannot read your mind you know."

Han Sheng Ming fidgeted. He lowered his head and shared his feelings. "But, it's not easy to tell her the way I told you. You are a guy and my friend. It's easy to share man to man."

Tang Yujin put down the empty glass. "Then you can stay single for the rest of your life."

Han Sheng Ming looked at his friend in horror. "What?!"

"You don't mean that she will come and confess her love to you." Tang Yujin's eyes looked scheming. "I think she will hate you if you keep dragging it."

"Oh no! Why are women so complicated?!" Han Sheng Ming bawled.

"There, there…" Tang Yujin stroke his friend's head, who was acting like a heartbroken boyfriend.

Han Luo's cell phone rang and she checked who it was. Seeing Mo Yuan's number on the mobile screen, she answered the call. "Hello, big brother Yuan."

"Ah Luo, were you busy?" Mo Yuan's tone was a bit serious.

Han Luo closed the file she was reading and replied cheerfully, "Not at all. Is there something you want to talk about?"

Mo Yuan answered solemnly, "Yes, it's about your former dancing instructor. I've investigated her background after you shared your suspicion."

"What did you find out?" Han Luo didn't notice that she was holding her breath.

Mo Yuan described shortly, "Her name is Mary Jones. She is Alex's father Lawrence Jones' youngest niece. Lawrence Jones had an elder brother who was a divorcee. After he died leaving two daughters alone, Lawrence Jones was taking care of his elder brother's family."

Han Luo was shocked. "Oh my! After Mary was killed, would President Jones find out who could have killed his niece?"

Mo Yuan's eyebrows creased. "He knew. In fact, after we finished her off, he began to look for her. He sent a search party everywhere. From a private source, he found out what she did to you. He came to our house and requested my dad to give her back."

Han Luo asked, "What did you do then?"
