My Beloved

[A/N: Time is running out. 3 days left. If you want 10 chapters on the next week and forward Han Luo's age, vote 9000 by 18 October!!!]

Han Luo stepped forward and said, "He was right here. Look, the soil is wet." She pointed right beside where she was standing.

 Mo Yuan crouched down and touched the ground. It was indeed wet.

"But, where is he?" Han Luo carefully observed the surrounding area.

"I don't see any signs of someone being dragged away. He could have left on his own," Mo Yuan answered her question. "Since he doesn't want your help no need to force him. Maybe, he had his own reasons."

"But, he was injured. How far could he go anyway? Yet we can't see him." Han Luo looked confused.

"Maybe you saved a ghost," Mo Yuan joked. He tried to distract her. "It might come to visit you at night when you fall asleep."

"Ahh! Big brother Yuan, don't say that!" Han Luo looked around and checked her surroundings once again with fearful eyes.

Chills ran down Han Luo's spine. She began to think, 'Was it really a ghost? If not, how could he disappear without leaving a single trace? It wasn't even a few minutes since I was gone… Wait, wasn't he able to breathe when his nose was under that cold water? It has to be a ghost. No normal human can do that when they are unconscious. And, his gaze was very scary too.'

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the said person was a ghost. Her face gradually lost all its color and she looked petrified.

Noticing her pale face, Mo Yuan chuckled. He stroked her head and stated, "I was just joking. You don't have to take it seriously."

"But what if he really is a ghost?" she gazed at him anxiously.

Mo Yuan responded to her with a smirk and said in a deep voice, "Then you can only sleep with me. That way he wouldn't dare to come near you."

"You are only after my body, aren't you? I should have known better. Hmph!" Han Luo got mad at him. She strode away from him.

He quickly caught up to and followed her behind. Amusement flickered in his eyes as he stated, "I'm indeed after your body."

He paused for a moment and intensely stared at her petite back. "But I'm also after your heart and soul. I won't stop until I have you all for myself," Mo Yuan declared truthfully. He was having fun without a doubt.

Han Luo nearly interrogated him, "And what will happen after you get everything? All boys throw away their old robots and look for new ones."

"But they also keep their first robot close to their hearts. No matter how many robots they have, the first robot is always their favorite. I'm not greedy. I only need one and I'm quite satisfied with it," Mo Yuan caught her wrist and drew her body closer. When her back touched his firm chest, he placed his chin on her left shoulder and squeezed her tightly in his arms.

Han Luo felt happy when he spoke that way. However, she didn't show her happiness. She only commented with a pouty face, "Glib tongue."

Flashback ends –

-------------------

Han Luo went to a French restaurant and met Joseph from the Sales Department of MB Commercials. He was one of those very few people who knew about the true identity of the model who worked as the Ravishing Bride.

"Because of you, the commercial hit the highest rank. We wanted to award you publicly but we couldn't because you refused," Joseph told her.

Han Luo ordered her lunch and announced, "I'm not planning to continue as a professional model. If I had that goal, I would have accepted your offer."

"We are going to miss a good model and actress just like that," Joseph lamented.

"You didn't come here just to praise my skills, did you?" Han Luo directly went to the business.

Joseph was pleased with her professionalism. Although she was still a teenager, he respected her like any other experienced model. "No, I came here to offer you another project. It's a commercial as well."

"I have already told you that I don't want to do commercials anymore," Han Luo looked straight at him and rejected his offer straightforwardly.

Joseph skillfully avoided her polite objection and explained, "I know you said that but this can be only done by you. The planner Lisa from the production team came up with this idea because she was reminded of you. The name of the project is Young Love. It's about the new series of footwear from a popular brand."

Han Luo sipped on her glass of water and interjected, "With all due respect, I'm a little bothered. I thought that the responsibility of hiring models was of a job for the Production Department and not for the Sales Department. Shouldn't it be Lisa who was supposed to discuss these details since she was the planner?"

Joseph smiled and narrated, "You are absolutely right about that. Since you are our savior, I'll be honest with you. I had to come to you because we asked the President of the Mo Corporation to let you take the project. But he rejected it saying that you didn't want to do commercials and he would never force you. He asked me to take any other model from their agency but not you."

Mo Zhen and Ma Rui were supervising Han Luo's works for her. If the offers directly went to the Mo Corporation, Mo Zhen would handle them and if the offers came to Ma Rui, she would take care of them.

Most of the time, Mo Zhen also had to check her dancing projects whereas Ma Rui took care of her modeling.

A few days ago, Joseph went to the Mo Corporation to talk about the new contract and ended up talking about the project when Mo Zhen heard it and declined.

Upon hearing his explanation, Han Luo slowly asked him, "Is this the only reason you are treating me to this lunch?"
