My Beloved

He would also make rules like – can't get physical before marriage; no touching, no kissing; no hanging out at night blah blah blah…

Even so, he wouldn't stop his sister from doing whatever she wanted if she was an adult.

Han Sheng Ming really crossed his line by trying to prevent Han Luo from doing whatever she wanted.

"He is right, big brother Ming. If what we did was wrong, are you saying that you never even kissed or touched Zheng Mian?" Han Luo added, asking him without filtering her words.

She found Mo Yuan's words logical and reasonable. If Han Sheng Ming could be affectionate with Zheng Mian, why couldn't she do it with her boyfriend?

Han Sheng Ming realized that Han Luo knew more about his relationship than he actually thought.

Zheng Mian was Han Luo's best friend and they were living under the same roof. It was impossible not to share everything when they were together almost all the time.

Han Luo had a very clear idea about Han Sheng Ming's proposal to Zheng Mian because they not only kissed but also did more than caressing and groping. He wanted to legally possess his girlfriend so that they could do whatever adults were allowed.

Han Luo wasn't dumb. She wouldn't let her cousin have all the fun while she was told to rot away in her room.

Han Sheng Ming paused after hearing Han Luo's question. His mind automatically went to the time they kissed and did more than touching and hugging. Even last night they were being quite chummy in bed. Since Han Luo wasn't home and Noah never disturbed Han Sheng Ming or Zheng Mian, they spent their time to the fullest.

His face grew hot. Others could see his pale face turning red in embarrassment.

There was no room for argument – everyone could tell that.

Zheng Mian rubbed her temples. She was a bit embarrassed by the fact that everyone was going to imagine what they were doing behind the closed door.

"…" Han Luo was speechless when she saw her cousin dumbly standing there in a daze.

'He must be thinking about his sweet times with Mian,' she thought. Even she could tell what was going on in his mind. He was just like an open book.

"What? Cat got your tongue now?" Tang Yujin spoke from behind. He wasn't being sarcastic. He just wanted to end this argument as soon as possible.

Upon hearing his question, Han Sheng Ming came back to his senses. He couldn't believe that he was thinking of something inappropriate in front of his little sister. He prayed in his mind, 'Lord Buddha, please forgive this lustful sinner for once.'

After that, he coughed and cleared his throat before saying, "Little Luo Luo, don't get swayed by his words." He pointed at Mo Yuan. "He is tricking you." He slandered his friend.

Han Luo clearly said, "He might be tricking me but why are you avoiding answering my question? Answer my question first." She felt that she was losing her patience.

Han Sheng Ming crossed his arms. He stubbornly said, "There is nothing to answer. The main point is you have to leave him." Afterward, he looked away.

Han Luo's eyebrows twitched. Her patience was running low and she could sense that. Things were going on and on in a circle.

And, her tone would naturally turn cold whenever she got mad. That was what happened right now too. "I want to know why I have to leave big brother Yuan? Are you telling me that you have the right to date but I don't?" She wanted to know what exactly Han Sheng Ming was thinking.

Han Sheng Ming dismissed her accusation. "I didn't say that. I'm telling you to choose between me or him."

Han Luo's eyebrows slightly creased. "All I want to know is why I have to choose between the two of you. Why are you opposing me dating big brother Yuan?"

"He betrayed me!" Han Sheng Ming loudly declared.

She inquired, "How so?"

Han Sheng Ming glared at Mo Yuan and replied, "He is dating you."

Han Luo asked him again, "Then are you telling me that Mian betrayed me too after she became your girlfriend?"

"What?" Han Sheng Ming blinked. He couldn't understand why the sword point was now being aimed at his relationship with Zheng Mian.

Han Luo questioned him once again, "Are you saying that I should also tell her to choose between me and you? Do you want me to become that narrow minded and stoop to this low?"

Han Sheng Ming pointed at himself. He seemed hurt. "Are you saying that your big brother is narrow minded? I'm just concerned for you!"

Just like Han Sheng Ming couldn't stand her being in pain, Han Luo couldn't see him getting hurt either. She realized from his tone that he was hurt. 'What am I doing? If we get angry and keep arguing, we will hurt each other. I don't want that,' she told herself.

She took a deep breath and stated, "Well, now I'm concerned for my friend who is dating you."

Mo Yuan also didn't like the way it was going. He pulled her arm and whispered softly, "Ah Luo, let it go-"

Han Luo shook her head and firmly said, "No, I won't. I want to end this problem here and now." She looked at her cousin and said, "Big brother Ming, since you interfered in my personal life, I must do the same because we are both concerned for our loved ones."

Han Sheng Ming started, "I'm the one who will question-"

Han Luo cut in, "Big brother Ming, I think you are mistaking something. You are indeed my elder brother but my guardians are uncle, mom, and dad. As long as they approve of us, we don't have to bother about others." Her tone was soft but her words were sharp.

Han Sheng Ming's lips trembled. "Am I… am I bothering you…"
