Chapter 375 - WANT TO BE ALONE (1/2)
Han Luo saw the couple sets on display first. Spotting her great interest in those clothes, Mo Yuan instructed the Manager, ”Give us those clothes.”
”Boss, these are couple clothes. You have to buy a pair. There are plenty of couple clothes in our store. I will show you all. Please wait a moment,” the Manager said that and told the saleswomen to bring those clothes.
Han Luo saw the saleswomen bring those clothes and she looked at Mo Yuan in amazement. ”Are you really going to try them out?”
Mo Yuan shrugged. ”Why not? You like them, right? Don't you want us to wear similar clothes?” He didn't say that he also wanted to see them in a couple of clothes.
”Of course, I want it.” Han Luo beamed. She hugged his arm and told him, ”You are the best. Thank you!”
”Just 'thank you' isn't enough,” Mo Yuan spoke in a deep tone.
”So greedy,” Han Luo commented and pecked on his cheek before going to the cloth changing room.
When Han Luo took the clothes to the trial room, Mo Yuan commanded the Manager, ”If anyone comes here or calls to ask about my girlfriend's whereabouts, tell them that she was alone. Tell the employees to do the same. If they say something out of the line, they will lose their jobs. The same goes for you.”
The Manager gulped. ”As you wish, Boss. We will do that.” He hurriedly went over and told all the employees what Mo Yuan just said.
The employees began to whisper, ”Do you think they are secret lovers?”
”So, it seems.”
”Who is this girl?”
”I think I saw her before… she was in a magazine… Now I remember, she is the teen model who was popular three years ago but had an accident and stopped being a model.”
”I think you are right. Now that you mentioned it, I remember her now. Hey, isn't she the adopted daughter of the President of the Mo Corporation? That means she and Boss are siblings. Are they really dating? No wonder they are trying to hide it.”
”But they aren't real siblings. She is adopted. Since they are not blood related, there wouldn't be a problem if they get married or anything.”
”They look good together, don't they?”
”They do.”
Han Luo changed clothes and came out. Mo Yuan had already changed his shirt. Han Luo was wearing a white casual dress with red lace. She wore matching white sneakers with red stripes. Mo Yuan wore a white shirt with a red stripe on the half-sleeves and blue jeans.
Han Luo twirled in front of the mirror and then looked at Mo Yuan through the window who was behind her. She asked, ”How do I look?”
Mo Yuan smiled and told her, ”Pretty.”
”Just pretty?” Han Luo pursed her lips. She wasn't satisfied with his short praise.
Mo Yuan chuckled and pinched her nose. ”Very very pretty. Happy?”
”Yep!” she nodded.
The saleswomen who were standing in the corner were like, 'Kyaa! They are so cute! How can such a cute couple exist?!' However, they screamed inwardly and didn't let others know what they were thinking.
”Oh, right.” Han Luo asked the Manager, ”May I borrow your phone? I need to call someone.”
The Manager replied excitedly, ”Sure, Mam, talk as long you like.” He pointed toward the telephone on the counter.
Han Luo called Beth who immediately answered the call. She had her phone with her all the time because she was trying to call her friend but the call was going through and she was very tense. She tapped to answer the call without even looking at the number. ”Hello?”
Han Luo softly spoke, ”Beth, I'm Luo.”
”Luo! Oh my God! Where the hell are you? I've been calling you for fifteen minutes already. Do you know how scared I was? I told you to be extra careful. You are always in danger. I thought something might have happened to you.” Beth's tension was justified. Even they were traumatized seeing Han Luo in the hospital bed all the time.
Han Luo told her the lie she had prepared, ”Ah, I'm sorry. My cell phone has no charge. I just noticed it now. I'm in a clothing store. I borrowed the telephone and called you.”
Beth was surprised by the answer. She inquired, ”You are in the clothing store! Why? Do you lack clothes?”
Han Luo answered, ”No, I don't feel like studying today. So, I can do some shopping. I feel better when I do some shopping.”
”Do you want me to accompany you?” Beth asked.
