My Beloved

Chapter 237 - HE DEFENDED HER



[A/N: Han Luo has a chance to grow up in October if you guys give all your votes to her. She needs to be fed to grow up ^_^]

"So, you plotted everything?!"

Han Luo and Mo Yuan turned around and saw Tang Yujin was on the stretcher bed.

Since his room was in a mess, he was being taken to another VIP room. 

That\'s when he heard their conversations and he was shocked to know that the docile girl he knew wasn\'t a mild tempered, soft-spoken girl.

He witnessed her fighting against a fearsome man with a brave heart.

He had a hard time believing what he had seen.

The Han Luo he knew didn\'t know how to fight. She was a soft temperamental girl. She was childish, a sweet and warm-hearted girl. She always depended on others. She could never hurt someone. She could never plot against someone. 

Tang Yujin hoped it might be a dream and nothing more. His little Luo couldn\'t be a scheming person.

And, now that he heard their conversations, the misconception he had about Han Luo cleared.

Whatever he saw and heard wasn\'t a dream. It was the truth.

He couldn\'t trust his own ears. Disbelief was written all over his expression.

Han Luo halted before stepping forward, "Big brother Yujin…"

Tang Yujin interrupted her and said, "I asked you a question. Did you plot everything?" The calmer he was, the scarier he looked.

Han Luo was intimidated by his question. She replied in a soft tone, "…Yes, I did it to save us both. I did it to avenge you."

Tang Yujin blankly stared at the girl. He interrogated her, "…Who are you?"

Han Luo saw his expression and for some unknown reason, her heart ached. She lowered her head and stated, "Big brother Yujin, I\'m sorry I had hidden this side of me but it doesn\'t mean that my other side of me is false."

Mo Yuan held her right shoulder from behind and said, "Enough, Ah Luo, you have nothing to apologize. You did everything to protect yourself. You are tired. You need to rest now. Talk to Xiao Yujin tomorrow."

Tang Yujin gazed at his childhood friend and asked his disbelief, "You knew?"

"I knew for a long time," Mo Yuan confessed.

Tang Yujin unknowingly clenched his fists and asked, "Why didn\'t you tell us then?"

Mo Yuan shrugged and answered casually as though he was stating the fact, "Isn\'t it obvious? I decided to keep it a secret for her sake."

"We must proceed," the nurse reminded the patient.

Tang Yujin quiet down and let the nurses take him away.

Han Luo looked at the direction where Tang Yujin went and then held Mo Yuan\'s hand that was on her shoulder. She asked him, "Big brother Yuan, do you think big brother Yujin will hate me now?"

Mo Yuan pulled her closer and assured her, "No, he won\'t. You saved him. Why would he hate you? You are still the Ah Luo I know."

Seeing that his assurance didn\'t work, he changed the subject, "Why don\'t you go to bed now?"

"…Okay," Han Luo agreed without a fuss and went to her bed.

Mo Yuan tugged her under the comforter and stroked her head. "Try to sleep."

Han Luo held his arm and inquired, "You won\'t leave me, will you big brother Yuan?"

Her eyes looked like she was pleading. She feared that everyone would leave her alone.

Mo Yuan took her left hand and brushed his lips over her finger while asking, "No, I won\'t leave you alone. I\'ll stay by your side tonight."

"The visitors are not allowed in the middle of the night," Han Luo reminded him.

"They have to make an exception for you," Mo Yuan leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Sleep, I\'m here to protect you."

Han Luo was finally assured and she closed her eyes. After she fell asleep, Han Sheng Ming brought some juices with him.

Seeing that his little hero had fallen asleep, he soundlessly passed the soda bottles to Mo Yuan.

They drank quietly. After Mo Yuan finished one bottle, he whispered, "I\'m going to meet Xiao Yujin. You stay here."

Han Sheng Ming nodded in agreement. Tonight, he didn\'t want to leave his cute little Wonder Woman alone.

Only he knew how terrified he was when he heard that Han Luo was attacked in the hospital.

Mo Yuan went to Tang Yujin\'s room.

Tang Yujin was wide awake. He wasn\'t able to fall asleep.

Seeing Mo Yuan entering his room, he smirked. "You guys really fooled me for too long."

Mo Yuan sat on the chair and replied, "I didn\'t want to share it with others because I wanted her to reveal herself on her own."

"What if she didn\'t do it?" Tang Yujin questioned him.

Mo Yuan answered in a carefree manner, "I would have kept it a secret for the rest of my life."

Tang Yujin chuckled. "Would you let her deceive everyone?"

Mo Yuan defended Han Luo, "Everyone has the right to hide their true self from others. She did it because she was afraid that we would hate her. I wanted her to be comfortable around me. I wished to give her a home where she could relax. Why wouldn\'t I keep it a secret if she didn\'t want to share it with others? I wouldn\'t mind having a secret between the two of us."

Tang Yujin collectively stared at his friend and asked, "Didn\'t you care at first when you noticed that a sweet child suddenly turned into like this?"

Mo Yuan described, "Truthfully, I was amazed and I found her very interesting; but, I don\'t mind what she does. I\'ll accept everything about her. Even Xiao Ming doesn\'t care about it. Why are you acting like we have all deceived you? It\'s clearly you who cannot accept her for who she is."

Afterward, both of them became silent. In the soundless room, only faint breathing could be heard.

What could they speak? There was nothing to talk about.

The next day, Ma Rui flew to London and the first thing she did was visiting Han Luo.

The moment she saw that Han Luo was all better, she slumped on the couch and began to speak, "Luo\'er, thank goodness you are safe. When I couldn\'t get a plane ticket, I thought that I was going to walk home.. I was so scared and worried sick.
