My Beloved-Chapter 447 - SISTER COMPLEX

"…pack your bags and leave this place. I don't need someone who will keep threatening my children's life." Those were Ma Rui's parting words to Martha. Before leaving the room she instructed her son, "Settle Martha's final payment and bonus."

"I will," Mo Yuan agreed readily.

"Ma-madam!" Martha called out in horror. Never in her dreams did she think that a day like this would come. She had been tirelessly working here while enduring seeing Han Luo every day, only to get her niece a chance to become the daughter-in-law of this 'rich' household.

How could she stand this defeat now?

Ma Rui strode toward the stairs. She didn't want to hear any more pleas from Martha. Just thinking about Han Luo getting hurt because of Rachel made her shiver. If something were to happen to her child, she could never forgive herself.

She knew Martha didn't like her but turned a blind eye toward this matter, thinking Martha would come to like her one day. Never in a million years did she think that Martha would even use her own niece to harm Han Luo.

"Madam, please listen to me!" Martha tried to follow Ma Rui but her course of trajectory was blocked by Mo Yuan's assistant. She desperately cried out, "Madam, this will never happen again. I will work diligently without fail."

However, Ma Rui didn't bother to listen anymore. When her employer was completely out of her sight, Martha immediately collapsed. She was on the verge of breaking down.

Rachel trembled as she stood not too far from her aunt. She never saw her aunt acting like this. The situation had turned utterly grave in a matter of just a few minutes. So, she decided not to say anything.

When Han Luo woke up once again, Martha and Rachel were already sent out of the house. She was surprised to hear what they had done. "I never thought Martha was plotting something like this," she commented. She was a bit shocked.

Zheng Mian remarked, "Oh please, you had no idea how delusional her niece was."

"She was wearing more expensive pajamas than I ever wore." Beth was amused by this fact. She couldn't get that girl's silly antiques out of her head.

"Why didn't you tell me? I would have chewed them before throwing them on the street!" Han Sheng Ming was fuming mad.

"You wouldn't wake up even if the world was going to be destroyed," Tang Yujin stated.

They were sitting on the couch and having some evening snacks. It was Saturday, so everyone was relaxing on the weekend. Not to mention they were super tired from last night's party. It had been a while since they all gathered in one place.

It was snowing outside. They wore warm clothes. The heater made them feel comfortable. When the foods were served, their attention went to the snacks.

Han Sheng Ming cleared his throat and said, "Anyway, I don't agree to give my little Luo Luo to Xiao Yuan. I absolutely forbid it."

"…" Zheng Mian and Beth exchanged glances. They knew something like this was going to happen.

"Who asked for your permission?" Mo Yuan asked him. He didn't seem to be bothered by his childhood friend's comment.

"You!" Han Sheng Ming stood up. Ready to fight. "How dare you say that?"

Mo Yuan casually said, "My parents had already asked for your father's permission. And, he agreed."

That meant, whether Han Sheng Ming or any of their relatives were against this marriage, it had nothing to do with Mo Yuan and Han Luo. They loved each other and they would proceed with the wedding whether others wanted to attend or not.

"Y-you! I will do everything in my power not to let my little sister get married to you!" Han Sheng Ming declared.

Mo Yuan ignored him. He already got his wife. He didn't need to argue with a 'child' who was suffering from a sister complex over it.

Zheng Mian was going to say something but paused when she heard a soft voice saying, "When did I say I would marry big brother Yuan?"

Everyone turned to Han Luo in astonishment. Mo Yuan's expression suddenly turned cold whereas Han Sheng Ming's eyes were filled with hope.

He sat down beside Han Luo and asked repeatedly, "You won't marry him, right? Right?"

Han Luo put a piece of watermelon in her mouth and chewed it thoroughly. Then she gulped and said, "I was nervous and didn't know what to say when big brother Yuan proposed to me. They all care for me a lot. How could I make him lose face in front of so many people? That's why I said 'yes'. I didn't actually agree to marry him."

Han Sheng Ming clasped her hands. His eyes were sparkling. "That's right, you didn't agree to marry him. Haha! What was I even mad for? I know my cute little Luo Luo is intelligent and would always make wise decisions. Haha!" He couldn't help but cackle loudly. He couldn't stop laughing.

Beth, Zheng Mian, Sean, and Tang Yujin gave a sympathetic look to Mo Yuan who was growling. They pitied him because Han Luo chose her cousin's happiness over his.

Mo Yuan put down the glass and slowly spoke, "Ah Luo, let's talk."

Han Luo's mouth was dry. She lightly answered, "…Sure."

"Not here. Let's talk in private," Mo Yuan suggested. His eyes flickered as he gazed at her deeply.

Han Luo felt threatened. At that time, she didn't feel like being alone with him.

As if Lord Buddha's grace was smiling upon her, Han Sheng Ming hugged his cousin and said, "If you have something to say, say it in front of me. I won't let her be alone with the likes of you."

"Right," Han Luo hurriedly nodded.

Mo Yuan's expression wasn't good. Not when his wifey was hugged by another man right in front of him. He looked like he was going to eat Han Sheng Ming's sinful hands.

Seeing the black clouds forming around him, Han Luo stood up. "Ah! I forgot that I had an assignment. I need to go home and finish it."

"I will go with you." Han Sheng Ming stood up as well.

"No, no, you guys have fun." Clever Han Luo quickly slipped out, leaving them in the living room.

Mo Yuan dangerously narrowed his eyes. 'You want to run away after eating my tofu? Dream on!'
