My Beloved

"Cough," someone quietly coughed outside their cabin.

Han Luo, who was busy with Mo Yuan, was startled and looked at the person. Mo Yuan did the same. They saw an elegant girl. Her blonde hair shone in the light and her dark eyes were slightly hesitant before calming down.

"Nana… Shimizu!" Han Luo was surprised to see her.

Nana Shimizu gave her a light smile. "Luo Han, Yuan Mo, it\'s been a while. Did I interrupt you two?"

"Ah…" Han Luo didn\'t know what to say. Nana Shimizu saw them kissing and yet she came in between them. Now, she asked if she did interrupt them.

Thinking about her intimate position she decided to move away from Mo Yuan\'s lap. Just as she tried to get up, she was pulled back by him. He had no intention of letting her go even if someone came to bother them.

Han Luo fidgeted on his lap and gave Nana Shimizu an uncomfortable smile. She wished Nana Shimizu would leave seeing them like that.

However, Nana Shimizu didn\'t move an inch. She acted as if she didn\'t notice Mo Yuan\'s possessiveness.

Since she didn\'t leave, Han Luo spoke, "Indeed, it has been a while. I haven\'t seen you during the graduation party since I was in the hospital. How have you been?"

Nan Shimizu gazed at Mo Yuan\'s hand that was hugging Han Luo\'s waist before replying calmly, "I\'m good. What about you? Did you visit Japan because of work?"

"No, we came here for vacation." Han Luo gasped as though she remembered something, "Ah, I forgot it\'s your motherland. Have you been here for some time?"

Nana Shimizu answered, "Yes, I was here for work. I\'m helping my maternal grandfather with his company. I hope you had a great time here."

Han Luo responded with a smile, "We had. We had so much fun. We are thinking of coming here again. So, what kind of business does your maternal grandfather have?"

Nana Shimizu answered, "We have an airplane company. This airplane belongs to him. I\'ve been checking with the passengers when I saw you. Are you enjoying it? Are you feeling comfortable?"

"This is amazing. We are comfortable. Thank you for your concern," Han Luo voiced her opinion.

"That\'s good to hear. Please visit my maternal house when you come here again," Nana Shimizu invited them.

Han Luo accepted the invitation. "Sure, we will do that. Thank you for your invitation." Nana Shimizu was from a powerful family. If they ever expand their business in Japan, they might need Nana Shimizu\'s help. It was better to be on her good side.

Nana Shimizu gave her a thoughtful look before commenting, "You look rather happy than I imagined. I thought you would be upset and tensed."

Han Luo gazed at her with confusion. "What do you mean by that?"

It was time for Nana Shimizu to be puzzled. "Did you not know?" she asked. And then, she stole a glance at Mo Yuan. "Did you two have no idea?"

"No, we don\'t. What are you talking about?" Han Luo\'s heartbeat increased. She felt as if something bad had happened.

Mo Yuan who was playing with Han Luo\'s hair without paying attention to the uninvited guest finally stopped playing and looked at Nan Shimizu. He didn\'t need to mention that he was annoyed. His eyes were saying that openly.

Nana Shimizu didn\'t notice the annoyance in his eyes. Her heart fluttered when she felt his gaze on her. She mentioned, "Your best friend, Beth, her company isn\'t doing well. Also, your other friend who lives with you, her jobs are all canceled. They are having a hard time."

"What did you say?" Han Luo felt that her ears were buzzing. She thought everything she heard was an imagination. Or, it could be that she didn\'t hear right.

"It looks like you really didn\'t know," Nana Shimizu remarked. She quickly apologized, "I\'m sorry. I didn\'t mean to ruin your vacation. I thought you knew. I mean, how could you not know. I heard about it a week ago. Your friends would have contacted you, wouldn\'t they?"

Han Luo took a while to digest the news and glanced at Mo Yuan to confirm if it\'s true or false. Seeing his nonchalant, expressionless face, her heart thumped. "Did… you know…?"

Mo Yuan gave her a quiet look. Han Luo felt as if her head was spinning. She gave Nana Shimizu a blank look and told her, "Can you please give us some moment? We need to talk."

Nana Shimizu noticed her pale face. A joyous expression from a moment ago was completely gone. She calmly nodded and said, "Sure, please take your time."

After that, she turned around and left them. Thinking of Han Luo\'s expression, satisfaction spread in her heart. She didn\'t know it on her face but her shoulders were relaxed. She glanced at her right palm. Her nails dug her palm enough to leave a faint cut. It happened when she saw Mo Yuan hugging Han Luo\'s waist.

Nana Shimizu stopped on her track and took a deep breath. Slowly, her heart calmed down. She lightly patted her chest and then resumed walking.

Han Luo listened to her footsteps going further away. After it was completely gone, she gazed at Mo Yuan. "You knew! Why didn\'t you tell me? How come no one contacted me?! No wonder I couldn\'t contact Beth. So it was like this. What\'s their situation now?"

"I didn\'t tell you because I was worried you would forget about the trip and go back to London. I brought you here so that you can relax and think about nothing else. You needed that." Mo Yuan didn\'t want to cause any misunderstanding. He wouldn\'t want that to happen. That\'s why he told her why he hid about her friends.

"What…" Han Luo couldn\'t blame him nor could she show her frustration.. She let out a deep sigh. She punched his chest with her fists and asked him, "Since you know Beth and Mian\'s situation, did you investigate how things turned out this way?"
