Volume 1 Chapter 205 Reluctant To Leave Her Side (2/2)
'Why is she tired in the morning?' Han Sheng Ming's heart dropped on the floor. Something unimaginable came to his mind.
He refused to trust his own friend, ”I don't believe you! What did you do to her to make her unable to go to school?” His tone was full of unspoken accusations.
Mo Yuan didn't reply to his answer. He wished to do many things to her but he couldn't.
That heartless little girl is making him wait all this while without any care about the world. He has to slowly nurture her feelings toward him and completely make her his.
Tang Yujin observed Mo Yuan's reaction and changed the subject saying, ”I heard that little Luo stayed at your place. Xiao Ming is upset.”
Han Sheng Ming rebuked in an aggrieved tone, ”I'm not upset. I'm so mad! Xiao Yuan, why do you always steal my cute little Luo Luo. She is too innocent. Don't drag her down with you.” He was clearly warning Mo Yuan and his eyes were filled with unconcealed menace. It was as though he was blaming every single trouble he could think of on Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan casually said, ”Ah Luo wished to spend her time with me. How can I refuse?”
”You!” Han Sheng Ming was speechless by his friend's shamelessness. He was bursting with fury and roared, ”How can you take a maiden to your home for yourself and say indecent stuff like that?!”
Tang Yujin collectively said, ”All right, calm down Xiao Ming. It's always like this, isn't it? As long as little Luo wants something, we have no other choice but to let her do whatever she wants. It's not Xiao Yuan's fault, is it?” His lips were holding a smile.
”Hmph!” Han Sheng Ming harrumphed coldly at the two teenagers and looked another way. He couldn't bother himself to argue with them anymore.
After what seemed like forever, Mo Yuan finally opened his mouth and narrated yesterday's incident in his deep and calm voice, ”I took her for a walk and she ended up witnessing a murder. She was so scared that she didn't even want to leave my side for a second. That's why I took her home with me.”
The reason why he had decided to share this incident was clear. He didn't want Han Luo to be cornered. He didn't wish her to think that she only had her big brother Yuan by her side.
She didn't need to shoulder all her troubles on her own. He would like her to depend on all three of them.
He knew how much Tang Yujin and Han Sheng Ming cared for her. It would be regrettable if she left out her other two big brothers. They could be of greater help if things went downhill.
Han Sheng Ming was utterly shocked. He exclaimed loudly, ”What?! Murder!”
Tang Yujin was astonished as well but he was much calmer than his friend. He softly inquired, ”Where were you when she was facing such a dangerous situation?” Although his tone was low, it was full of finding fault on the person at the receiving end. It was evident that he was angry about his friend's carelessness.
Mo Yuan lowered his eyes and confessed, ”It's my fault. I let her wait in front of a shop and went inside to buy something. It didn't take more than three minutes. The murder happened in a dark alley beside that shop and she saw it out of pure coincidence. That's why I told her not to go out for a while. It will help her to clear her mind.”
Han Sheng Ming was worried. ”I have to visit her after school. I'll buy something spicy before meeting her. It will make her happy.”
Tang Yujin nodded in agreement. ”I think so too. I will visit her as well. If she wants to go to her home or mine, we can take her by car. No outsider will be able to find out. The only thing that's worrying me is whether those murderers were able to see her face or not. It would be very dangerous and troublesome if they did.”
Mo Yuan slowly shook his head. ”I don't think so because when I looked into the alley, I saw no one. I also made sure no one followed us.”
”Then I don't think we have anything to worry about,” Han Sheng Ming relaxed.
Mo Yuan narrowed his eyes. 'Maybe or maybe not. It won't kill us if we are a bit careful.'
