My Beloved

"Mr. Han, I want to talk to you about something urgent. It's regarding Luo'er. Do you have some time?" Ma Rui politely stated.

"About Luo'er… did something happen? Is she in the hospital?" Han Changhong panicked.

Ma Rui quickly replied, "Oh, no, no – it's not about her health. I just met your wife. She came to take back Luo'er even though she's ill!"

"My wife did that?!" Han Changhong exclaimed. He gritted his teeth in anger. 'It looks like my wife won't let me live in peace,' he thought.

Ma Rui retorted, "Yes, but I didn't let her take Luo'er away. I know you might be upset because of that, but I can't let your wife and daughters harm Luo'er any longer. Since you don't know much about your own family matters, the butler I hired for Luo'er reported to me that whenever Luo'er was alone, your daughters kept bothering her and said hurtful things."

Han Changhong was taken aback. "I never heard…"

"I know, and that's why I want to keep Luo'er with me," Ma Rui firmly declared. She had already decided what she was going to do here on, and no one could change it.

Han Changhong wanted to protest. "But that's-"

"I know it's upsetting, and you will feel down, but please think about her situation too," Ma Rui interrupted. "She is just a small child who can't protect herself against three others. Your house isn't safe for her. How long do you think your son can protect her when he himself is a kid?"

Han Changhong was speechless. He thought he was giving Han Luo enough, but this showed that he was wrong. Without even knowing, he threw Han Luo to the abyss of hell and gave a blind eye to her sufferings. He sighed and replied, "…Let's do so then. However, if Luo'er complains, I'll have to bring her back to me. I am still her legal guardian, after all."

Ma Rui found him reasonable. "All right then, I'll send the documents to your office. If you'd like to, sign the papers."

"…I understand," Han Changhong said, with a hint of worry in his voice. "Is there anything else, Mrs. Mo?"

Ma Rui answered, "Yes, it's about your son. Sheng Ming..."

The next day, Butler Noah opened the curtains and let the morning light enter the bedroom. "Rise and shine, you little punk. I know you have already recovered. Did you think by using ginger and garlic, you can fool everyone? Get up before I throw cold water all over you."

"…"

Seeing no movement coming under the blanket, Butler Noah pulled the blanket and a small body came into the sunlight.

Han Luo frowned as the bright rays hit her closed eyes. "Nn… Noah, you jerk! Give me back my blanket. I want to sleep more."

"Oh, and you kiss everyone with that sh*tty mouth. If they were to find out your true self…" Butler Noah grabbed her left ankle and pulled her.

Han Luo whined, "Don't! I want to sleep more!" She hugged her pillow tightly.

"It's already ten in the morning. You already missed breakfast. You have to fill your stomach with fruits." He didn't stop pulling her.

"…Give me your fruit custard…" Han Luo liked his homemade fruit custard.

Butler Noah was assigned by Ma Rui to take care of her. He was one of the top trained butlers in the International Butler Academy, USA. He was a Hispanic American.

"Sure, thing but get up or I'll throw you into a bathtub filled with cold water." Butler Noah smacked her butt.

Han Luo's body jerked, and she sat up. She glared at him and exclaimed, "You cruel jerk! How can you do that to a cute girl like me? Don't you know I was bullied and is always bullied?"

Butler Noah retorted, "But you could've taken them all down. Did I secretly train you martial arts for nothing? You failed me!"

"I wanted to take them down but if I did, they wouldn't be suspended. I have my big brothers around me, after all." Han Luo smirked.

"All right smarty pants, go brush your teeth." Butler Noah grabbed her by the collar, threw her to the washroom, and closed the door.

"I'll remember this, Noah!" Han Luo screamed behind the closed door of the washroom.

"Honestly, this kid is becoming more mischievous every day." Butler Noah sighed. When he first met her, she was a cute little girl who laughed all the time and was very friendly with everyone. He also thought that she was stupid for falling into Han Luilui and Han Wanwan's traps all the time. But then one day, he saw her smirking when Han Luilui was scolded by Han Sheng Ming.

He couldn't believe it at first. From then on, he carefully observed her and found out that whenever her cousins tried to bully her, she made sure Han Sheng Ming was around them. She would even cry pitifully to attract Han Sheng Ming. Han Sheng Ming was a naïve child who would always support Han Luo.

At first, Butler Noah thought that Han Luo was a great pretender and an actress. But it took him a while to understand that this wasn't actually the case. Han Luo smiled whenever she was alone and wasn't faking anything. She was genuinely happy, no matter how small or cheap a gift was. She acted spoiled because she wanted people to love her. She didn't have her parents to love her. And so, she wanted other's affection. She didn't show her mischievous side to anyone, thinking that it might make people hate her. The young girl didn't want to lose more people she cared about. She was scared that they would leave her after they find out that she was a naughty kid behind her innocent exterior. Han Luo pleased everyone with her cute charms.

That's when Butler Noah decided to give her a comfort zone, where she could show her true self without any misunderstandings. When he first told her that he would give his support, Han Luo was only five. She cried her heart out, and Butler Noah knew that she was holding back a lot. Since then, Han Luo always showed her naughty side to him without any limits.

And now, he had a headache because of it.
