[A/N: 3 chapters from today! I will try my best! So, help me with all you got! Let's fight together!!!]
Han Luo was happy to be able to talk to Ma Rui face to face. She smiled brightly and cheerfully sang, ”You are worrying too much, mom. Look, I'm all better. Even the scars are fading away. I can be released from the hospital anytime I want.”
”That's good to hear,” Mo Zhen spoke. He got back from Australia and hurried here.
He sat beside Ma Rui and placed a hand on Han Luo's head. ”I should have hired some bodyguards to keep you safe. It was my negligence.”
Han Luo denied quickly, ”No, no, dad. You must not do that. I'm fine, aren't I?”
Mo Zhen stated, ”You almost got killed. I heard that you helped the police to get that thug but he was working under an order from someone. It means someone else is after you. You are in danger, Luo'er.”
Han Luo tilted her head. ”Why do you think that?”
Mo Zhen explained, ”One day you mentioned something about the stalker. We tried to track him down but only got his corpse. It turned out that he was killed by those gangsters the other night.”
”Does that mean I witnessed his death that night?” Han Luo's eyes rounded in surprise.
Mo Zhen affirmed with a gloomy face. ”I think so too. I reprimanded Xiao Yuan for keeping such a thing from us. We could have helped you. Luo'er, don't hide things from us. It's for your own good.”
Han Luo played with her fingers before answering, ”I will try not to but I'm worried. What if something happens to you to protect me? I don't want you to get hurt.”
”My baby Luo'er is so cute!” Ma Rui hugged the girl.
Mo Zhen smiled. He thought that he was blessed to have a girl under his care.
He cleared his throat and mentioned, ”By the way, I heard that Elder Tang asked for your hand in marriage. Did you think of answering him?”
”Huh? What are you talking about?” Ma Rui blinked. She had no clue about this marriage proposal.
Apparently, knowing that she would go nuts about it, both her husband and son kept quiet about it and didn't let her know.
When Mo Zhen narrated the whole situation, Ma Rui looked at Han Luo with wide eyes.
She abruptly held Han Luo's hands and asked, ”Luo'er, my sweet child, you are not going to agree to this, are you?”
”I haven't decided on it yet,” Han Luo became nervous by Ma Rui's sudden change of behavior.
”What are you going to decide?” Ma Rui asked. She couldn't believe that someone was trying to take her treasure right under her nose.
Mo Zhen pulled back his wife and said, ”Luo'er, Yujin is a good boy. We don't mind if you choose him. Just make sure that you will be happy with him.”
Ma Rui snapped. ”She is only fourteen. This isn't a Disney movie or fairy tale. What does she understand about happily ever after?”
”Mom, I will take care of it,” Han Luo assured her.
Nonetheless, Ma Rui wasn't happy about Elder Tang trying to snatch away her precious.
