Mo Yuan asked in a gentle, deep voice, "Did you have trouble on the way here?"
Han Luo shook her head. "No, not at all."
Mo Yuan replied, "Good. Co inside." He then glanced at Assistant Tong's driver and gave him a polite nod. The driver waved goodbye to the kids as he took his leave.
In the living room, an elegant and refined lady was sitting on a single couch beside a large window. She was in the middle of sewing a handkerchief. At that mont, her son entered the room, and behind him was a little girl. Her son called out, "Mom."
The woman in the off-white maxi dress looked up and was stunned. She gazed at the three years old girl for a while before briskly jumping to her feet. The woman put down her needlework and strode towards the two children. She bead excitedly, "Oh my! Xiao Yuan, who is this girl? I never knew that you had such a cute girlfriend."
Mo Yuan's face flushed for a mont before he composed himself. He frowned and retorted, "It's not what you think it is. She is Sheng Ming's cousin. He wants her to stay here for a couple of days."
Mo Yuan's mother, Ma Rui was a twenty-seven years old woman. "And you want to believe that? Son, I'm your mother – I know what you like and dislike. This is the first ti you ever let a child enter our house other than your two friends. And this ti, it's a girl. I thought you didn't like girls!" She teased her unruffled son. She hardly got the chance to tease him in the past and now that she found his weakness, she didn't want to let this chance slip by.
Mo Yuan sighed. He didn't know why his mother always acted so childishly. "I guess I'll let you misunderstand."
"Hohoho, my child, you can fool others, but you cannot fool ." Ma Rui wouldn't let it go. She bent forward and inspected the timid Han Luo. She spoke with a soothing friendliness, "Hello, little cutie pie, I'm Xiao Yuan's mother. Nice to et you."
'Big brother's mother?!' Han Luo's body stiffened in nervousness as she instinctively bowed. "My na is Han Luo. Nice to et you."
Ma Rui's eyes lit up with sparkles. "Oh my! So, you are Han Luo! You have no idea how many tis I wanted to et you. You can talk like an adult. I'm impressed." She rubbed her head affectionately.
Han Luo didn't know how to reply to that remark. Ever since Miss i had beco her teacher, she learned a lot from her. Miss i might look friendly but when she starts teaching sothing, she would beco a demoness. She wouldn't stop teaching until her students learned it perfectly. She would also make her students practice repeatedly until they perfect her teaching's subconsciously. Because of the austere teacher's pressure and Han Luo's hard work, her attitude and speaking manner are easily comparable to that of a six years old child. Still, she lacks in so areas since she is only three years old.
Mo Yuan suddenly asked, "Why did you want to et her?"
"Why would I not? She is Qin Zheng's daughter. Qin Zheng was my high school friend. Alas, I couldn't attend her funeral... I was in Singapore for treatnt. Later, I wanted to et Han Luo but that Du Liu woman said that she wasn't ho. I knew that she didn't want to et her. That woman is a devil!" Ma Rui huffed.
"Do you know my mommy?" Han Luo blinked and looked at Ma Rui with her clear, black pearl-like eyes. Her eyes twinkled with curiosity.
Ma Rui hugged her small body and carried her in her arms. She chuckled. "Of course, we were friends. I'm sorry I wasn't able to et you before. Let show you your mother's picture." She carried Han Luo to the second floor.
Mo Yuan was left standing alone. He didn't think that his mother would snatch little Luo away right in front of his face. He had thought that he finally got the chance to know Han Luo better. For the first ti, he realized that his mother was pretty scary.
anwhile, the ladies were sitting on a luxurious sofa, where Ma Rui was showing Han Luo pictures of herself and Qin Zheng during their school days. As she did, she kept rambling, "Look, your mother was such a tomboy… did you see that? She got a gold dal in karate… she used to eat like a man… this is her birthday party… oh, I rember this day! She visited at my house for the first ti… this is another friend, Xiao Xin… Xiao Luo, look at your mother. She beca a police officer that day and the three of us went to have a party to celebrate… that's my wedding day and Xiao Zheng and Xiao Xin ca together to congratulate … your mother had a promotion and she took us to a hotpot restaurant… that's when my son was born. Xiao Zheng told that he would beco a little demon. Oh man, was she right? She was always good at judging people's characters…"
Mo Yuan's ears twitched. He couldn't believe that his mother was bad-mouthing her son, not only in front of him but also in front of Han Luo. Han Luo was already afraid of him. If she heard from his mother that he is a demon, wouldn't she be more scared of him in the future?
He complained, "Mom, you're talking too much."
Ma Rui hugged Han Luo from behind and pulled her on her lap. She vigilantly looked at her son. "Isn't this your fault? You are not cute, and you don't smile. You don't speak cutely. And most of all, you are a boy. I always wanted a cute girl like Xiao Luo who would wear cute dresses and smile lovingly. Xiao Yuan, I'm warning you – you can't take her away from !"
Mo Yuan was speechless. Was it his fault that he was a boy? And it was definitely his mother who took Han Luo away from him; not Han Luo from her.. So, was she warning him? But he was innocent.
