Volume 1 Chapter 27 Han Luo Needs A Dancing Teacher (1/2)
Ma Rui took Han Luo to her bedroom and gently laid her down on the bed. Her maid then handed her the handset. From the other side, a man answered, ”Hello, Acting President Han Changhong speaking.”
”Mr. Han, I'm Mrs. Mo Rui, Xiao Yuan's mother. How have you been?”
Han Changhong instantly realized who this was. ”Mrs. Mo?! What a pleasant surprise! I'm doing well. How do you do?” He was surprised and couldn't find any reason why the Madam of the prestigious Mo Family would call him.
Ma Rui replied, ”I'm doing great. I hope I'm not disturbing you.”
Han Changhong denied quickly, ”Not at all. Is this about Sheng Ming? Did he do something?” He knew that his son was a troublemaker. He wished Han Sheng Ming didn't do anything to the Mo Family, just like his daughters did in the Tang Mansion.
Ma Rui frowned in confusion. ”Do you not know?”
”Did something happen?” Han Changhong's chest clenched out of anxiety. He could no longer bear any unexpected news.
Ma Rui continued, ”No, it's just that Xiao Sheng Ming went to his grandfather's house for a few days, so he let Xiao Luo stay with us.”
”Luo'er is in your house?!” Han Changhong was astonished.
”I'm surprised that you didn't know! She's been with us for the past three days.” Ma Rui didn't think that Han Changhong was a careless man and felt a bit dissatisfied with his attitude towards his niece. She believed that he should've taken good care of little Luo, especially since she lost her parents.
Han Changhong clenched his fists out of frustration. ”For that long! I'm in Shanghai for business, so I have no idea about what is going on in my house. I apologize. Really, I do. I hope Sheng Ming and Luo'er didn't cause trouble for you.” He couldn't believe that his wife didn't tell him about anything. Even though he refused to talk to Du Liu, he forced himself to call her for the sake of his children. They just talked two hours ago and when he asked about Han Luo, she said that she was doing fine.
'So, he called her Luo'er such an intimate nickname. Maybe if I call her Luo'er, we will be closer than before,' Ma Rui thought. She then responded, ”Not at all. It's quite the opposite actually. She is an adorable girl! I love her company and we are having lots of fun together. Above all, she is my best friend's daughter. I would love to have her around in the future as well.” Her joyous voice had a hint of sentiment, giving the impression that she wanted to take Han Luo away and become her guardian.
Han Changhong didn't know how to answer back. He didn't want to let go of Han Luo. She was someone very precious to him. He hesitantly replied, ”I'm glad to hear that. Thank you very much for letting me know.”
”It's nothing. I actually called to ask for your permission, since you are currently her legal guardian. Xiao Luo likes to dance, so I'm thinking of introducing her to a dance teacher.” Ma Rui would admit Han Luo to dance school even if her uncle didn't agree. Once she had something planned, she had to do it.
Han Changhong retorted, ”Is that so but she is still so young. Does she need to take even more pressure?” He had already hired Miss Mei for Han Luo and didn't want to put more weight on the little girl's shoulders.
