Volume 1 Chapter 56 Han Luos Selfishness (2/2)

”Luo'er!” Ma Rui called out to her, but then sighed. ”It would be better to leave her alone for now.” When she applied for the four of them, for some reason, Han Luo's application wasn't approved. Ma Rui didn't know what was wrong. She even used her wealth and connections, thinking that the four kids would all be guaranteed to go to the UK. However, the higher-ups didn't grant Han Luo permission to go to London. Ma Rui's frustration ate at her, yet she didn't want Han Luo to feel even more frustrated. That's when she decided to keep Han Luo to herself. She didn't want her to live with those three mobsters in the Han Mansion.

And now after talking to Han Luo, she noticed how small the little girl's world was. She was only close to her three brothers. Although she had classmates who took care of her, they weren't her friends. Ma Rui could guess it was Han Luo's three big brothers' fault, as they didn't let others get close to her. The mother thought that it would be a good time for Han Luo to have more friends.

Tang Yujin and Mo Yuan already agreed to study in London, but Han Sheng Ming didn't agree. He said he wouldn't leave his cute little Luo Luo alone. Ma Rui needed Han Luo to make him decide to study abroad. But seeing Han Luo's crying face made her heart ache. Her eyebrows furrowed in disappointment.

”There you are. I've looked everywhere for you. Why did you run off without having breakfast?” Butler Noah came to the rose garden and found Han Luo sitting alone with her head buried in between her legs. Two white rabbits were around her eating grass. Her sadness smothered her. She had no light in her heart to play with the rabbits. Or anyone.

Butler Noah sat beside her and showed her the bowl of fruit custard. ”I've made it exactly the way you like it. Do you want to taste it?” Han Luo finally looked up, her flushed face and puffy eyes clearly visible to him. He asked, ”What's wrong? Why are you crying?”

”Noah my big brothers are leaving. I can't play with them anymore,” she whimpered while weeping. ”I don't want them to leave me. Why does everybody I love leave me like mommy and daddy? Am I being punished because I'm a naughty girl?”

Butler Noah's expression dropped. ”Where are they going? Do you know?”

Han Luo looked down. ”They are going far away”

”Why don't you go with them?”

”C-can I go?” Han Luo's eyes filled with hope.

”Of course, you can. Maybe you have to wait a little longer, but one day you'll grow up and then you can go wherever they are. You shouldn't stop them from leaving just because you'll miss them. That's called selfishness; selfishness is a bad thing.”
