Chapter 372 - SUDDEN ATTACK (1/2)

Zheng Mian heard his answer and sighed. 'This guy is a stubborn fool,' she thought.

She sat on the bed and lamented, ”Luo is such a pitiful girl. She lost her parents when she was only two and her uncle's family abused her. Although she got herself three knights, they left her too. She grew up while suffering. After she came here, Yuan supported her and encouraged her in many ways.

”Due to his kindness and support she fell in love with him. Finally, she was able to obtain happiness. She could have someone for herself but sadly her so-called precious cousin wouldn't let her be happy because he was jealous. She is all alone and pitiful.”

Han Sheng Ming frowned. He abruptly stood up and asked, ”What are you talking about? Who is jealous? And why will she be alone and pitiful? I'm with her. Noah is here and also you. We are all taking care of her.”

Zheng Mian took a deep breath. She didn't know why her boyfriend was such a dupe. She calmly explained, ”How long will you take care of her? Forever? What about your own family? Won't you get married and have children?

”How do you think she will feel when she will see her cousin living happily ever after with his family but didn't let her do the same? If it was me, I would have hated that cousin no matter how much I loved him.”

She tried to bring out sympathy in her tone while speaking. Her voice sounded brokenhearted.

Upon hearing her words, Han Sheng Ming's face turned pale. ”…H-hate…”

The last thing he wanted was Han Luo to hate him. Yesterday, he was so mad that he didn't have the time to think about it. Now, he was having goosebumps.

Zheng Mian added further, ”Moreover, Luo barely shares her thoughts with anyone. She doesn't even tell me everything. She needs someone who will be there for her forever, take care of her, and listen to all her worries. We have our own lives and, in the future, we will get married and get busy with our families. Who will take care of her then?”

Han Sheng Ming seemed dumbfounded. ”…I didn't think about it…”

Zheng Mian sighed. ”Of course you didn't. You hardly have a plan for the future. How can you think deeply about someone else's life before you act? If you did it intentionally, I would think of you as a heartless man and hate you.”

”Mian…” Han Sheng Ming was completely defeated. Right now, he began to think that he did something terrible. 'What will I do if my little Luo Luo and Mian hate me now?' he wondered.

Zheng Mian shook her index finger and stated, ”Calling my name won't get you anywhere. You should decide what you want to do. Deep down I know you don't want to lose your friend and sister. They are precious to you.”

She continued, ”You became jealous because your pretty cousin was with another man and she was taking his side. You can fool anyone with that look but not me.”

”…Umm…” Han Sheng Ming's face flushed. He felt humiliated after being exposed by his girlfriend.

Zheng Mian moved closer and hugged him. ”No 'umm' will do. You need to settle your emotions and do what you must do. If Luo continues eating less, she will end up in the hospital again. You don't want that, do you?”

Han Sheng Ming vigorously shook his head. ”N-never!”

”Good.” Zheng Mian smiled.

”Luo, are you sure you don't want to go to the library?” Beth asked.

They were in school. Their second class ended and Beth was heading toward the library since they had a break. However, Han Luo didn't want to go there.

Han Luo shook her head. ”No, I just want to take some rest. I don't feel like studying at the moment. You go ahead.”

”Are you okay? Did something happen? You don't look well.” Beth was concerned.

Han Luo was a diligent student. Since she didn't want to go to the library, Beth doubted that something might have happened.

Han Luo forced a smile. ”Nothing happened. I didn't sleep well because of a headache. I'm feeling tired now.”

Beth thought that her friend was lying but she didn't push it anymore since Han Luo didn't want to talk about it. She said, ”I see. Why don't I take you to the infirmary?”

Han Luo shook her head. ”No, Beth. I want to go to the garden.”
