My Beloved-Chapter 454 - HAN LUO'S WORRY
Mo Yuan couldn't stand the silence. Deep down, he feared that she really wouldn't marry him. "Ah Luo, are you still cold? Should I make you a cup of hot chocolate?"
"I want to go back. I have to finish my work."
"How can that be? Aren't you tired? You can take some rest first. You have finished all your work before coming here, right?"
"Because of a certain someone, I have tons of work to do." Han Luo glared at him with her big eyes. "You gave me this huge project because you were upset, right? That's why you decided to punish me."
She hit the head of the nail directly. Most certainly he was upset and jealous at the same time and that's how he came up with this plan. There was another reason behind this but he didn't let others know about his hidden intentions.
"No, you are wrong," Mo Yuan lied without batting an eye. "I just wanted others to know you are capable than most of the employees here. And, isn't this a good opportunity for you? You can take a bigger risk and get some valuable experience from it."
"Is that all?" Han Luo was still suspicious. How could she believe this devil so easily?
"Of course, it is. I can't possibly torture my Ah Luo." He pecked on her eyes, trying to coax her in every way possible. "And, I'm not leaving you to do all this on your own. I'm going to help you. If you need guidelines or assistance, I will be there for you."
"Will you?" Han Luo was a bit surprised. She didn't expect him to offer such help.
Mo Yuan answered, "Yes, it's a huge project. I wanted to take it for myself but I couldn't because of certain rules. That's why I let the intern take over the project. This way, I can properly monitor it."
Han Luo looked at him and stated, "This isn't your first time taking a project proposal. You have worked on plenty of big projects before. Then why are you so interested in it?"
"…That's because this is an international project. Since I wanted you to have it, I thought it wouldn't be bad if we did it together." Mo Yuan prayed so that she wouldn't ask him any more questions. She was terrifyingly intelligent and her eyes missed nothing. She was pointing at the plot holes.
Han Luo still thought that there was something wrong with this conjecture. She said, "But if you, the experienced Managing Director, help me, they will think you have done everything yourself and backed me up without holding back. Won't this make them criticize both of our actions?"
Mo Yuan replied, "It's not that I will help you in front of everyone. If you need any help, I will help you indirectly, behind closed doors. This way, no one will find out."
Han Luo bit her thumb and shared her opinion, "Even so, it's not a job for one person. We need a group for that. A planner, an interior designer, an accountant – you can't just add everyone's responsibility to mine."
As usual, Han Luo had a point. Nonetheless, Mo Yuan's idea was to teach her a lesson. But, since his plan backfired and he made her mad, he now had to take responsibility for his actions.
He assured her by saying, "You don't have anything to worry about. I will fill up the holes you make."
"I really really hate you right now," Han Luo declared. Her anger kept rising just thinking about how much work pressure she would have to endure later on.
"Everything will be fine. I promise you," Mo Yuan swore and instantly shot himself in the foot.

"A little bird told me that Xiao Yuan is torturing his new intern," Tang Yujin disclosed the news to his friends.
They were enjoying themselves in the amusement park. Other than Tang Yujin and Ling Brown, Han Sheng Ming, Zheng Mian, Beth, and Sean were also present.
"Xiao Yuan is always a demon in human clothes. But to think he would give an intern such a huge load of work like that, he is too much. I'm sure the intern will run away from the company in a week," Han Sheng Ming complained, seemingly displeased with his best friend's attitude.
Zheng Mian remarked, "I'm sure he is working hard too. This is the first time he had ever missed going out with us."
"Luo isn't here either. I'm missing her already." Beth let out a sigh.
Zheng Mian told her, "Although I live under the same roof as her, it's hard to see her nowadays. She leaves home before I wake up and she comes back home after I go to sleep. Sometimes, she doesn't come at all. I don't know what's keeping her busy, but it's hard to get a hold of her."
Sean was surprised. "Wow! What is she doing all day and night?"
"Little Luo Luo started ballet and is also working on something else. I wish she could spend some time with me. I'm so lonely." Han Shen Ming was depressed.
"It's been a week since her routine changed. I'm not sure how long she will keep this up. As long as she is headstrong about something, no one can stop her." Zheng Mian was a bit worried about her.
She had seen her working her butt off when she was a model under the Mu Corporation. Both of them worked together, but to keep up with the school results and tightly scheduled work pace, Han Luo had always overexerted herself.
Beth mentioned, "Maybe she kept herself busy because of Yuan. It's hard to tear them apart."
"That will never happen as long as I'm alive!" Han Sheng Ming declared.
'Why does no one think that those two could be together?' Tang Yujin asked himself. He analyzed it inwardly, 'It could be because they couldn't think of Xiao Yuan making little Luo overwork. I don't know about others but Xiao Ming and Mrs. Mo will be furious if they find out. Well, they will find out eventually. I can't wait to see what will be their reaction then.' He smiled mischievously while thinking that.

Meanwhile, Ma Rui got an email and checked it. There was an attachment with the email. She saw it and was a bit confused. Not long after that, her expression changed and her face turned red in anger.
"Xiao Yuan, come to my study immediately!"
Her voice echoed in the study room.
