Chapter 426 - THE FLOWER BLOOMED (1/2)

Han Sheng Ming hugged her for a good while and then looked at her up and down before commenting, ”Ah Luo, tell you big brother the truth. Did Xiao Yuan starve you to death? Why do you look so skinny?”

Han Luo grinned at his complaint. ”I'm always skinny and you know that. How are you doing?”

Han Sheng Ming complained, ”How do you think I was? I missed you on Christmas Eve!”

Han Luo smiled broadly at him. ”You had to spend some time with your family, hadn't you? How are they doing?”

”Only you think of them when they don't,” he mumbled in annoyance.

Han Luo burst into laughter. If only her aunt heard her beloved son say this – she would've died in heartache.

”Xiao Ming, how long will you keep her standing in the cold? Let her in,” Tang Yujin spoke from inside the house.

”Yes, yes, little Luo Luo, come inside.” Han Sheng Ming literally dragged her inside.

”You have gotten quite beautiful, little Luo,” Tang Yujin complimented her. His eyes were looking for something that had changed within her but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

”Aren't I always beautiful?” Han Luo asked smugly.

Both Han Sheng Ming and Tang Yujin tactfully avoided talking to Mo Yuan. Mo Yuan could guess beforehand. He knew they would be upset. That's why he wasn't worried. He had finally plucked the flower that bloomed. He was content.

”Welcome home, Miss Han,” Butler Noah politely greeted her while bowing. ”Good to have you home.”

Han Luo beamed after seeing him. ”Thank you, Noah. How have you been?”

Noah answered, ”I'm doing just fine. I hope you have been well. I've prepared a warm bath for you.”

”Ah, this is what I need. Thank you so much, Noah. And, please prepare hot chocolate for me,” Han Luo instructed him like a true mistress.

”As you wish,” Noah replied.

After bathing and distributing gifts to everyone, they began talking about the real issue.

Han Luo shared her opinion, ”Since both of them were attacked almost at the same time, I think their target is me. Mian and Beth are my friends. If someone has grudge against me, they will try to harm them. Now the question is – who is the culprit?”

Tang Yujin added, ”I also thought the same thing. I mean, it was so obvious that they were targeting you. As soon as Sean contacted me, I investigated this issue.”
