15 HAN SHENG MING IS WORRIED

Tang Yujin sometimes watched detective cartoons and movies. He learned that culprits who had a bad relationship with people would act friendly whenever they had some kind of agenda. He didn't know for certain why Han Sheng Ming's mother was acting so friendly. It could be that she wanted to be kind to Han Luo for good, it could be that she was planning something bad. But since Du Liu was Han Luo's legal guardian, they would've been unarmed in a battle against her.

"I don't want anything to happen to my little Luo Luo! I'll call my daddy." Han Sheng Ming adamantly grabbed the handset from the butler and dialed his father's number.

At the Han Corporation, Han Changhong just finished another board meeting. It had been decided that he would be the Acting President and that Assistant Tong would be the Acting Vice President. He sighed in relief. The very thought of it was a huge burden on him, and he was so troubled that he couldn't even sleep or eat for the past few days.

Han Changhong went to his office, with Assistant Tong obediently following after him. He sat down on his chair and asked, "Are you going to move to my office? If so then I'll move to Xiao Wei's office."

Assistant Tong firmly replied, "I'll work at my office. I don't want to change room for a temporary position."

"Sounds good. I'll do the same." Han Changhong nodded in compliance. He was about to say something, but the ring of his cell phone halted him. He promptly picked up his phone. "Hello?"

"Daddy, it's me," Han Sheng Ming declared.

"Sheng Ming!" Han Changhong was surprised to get a call from his son. He would usually talk to Han Sheng Ming every night after going home – it was unusual for his son to call during this time of day. "How are you doing?"

Han Sheng Ming retorted, "I'm not good at all. Mommy and the sisters took little Luo Luo without telling me. She said she would take her to see uncle and auntie."

Han Changhong relaxed his stiff body. "I see, so that's what you are worried about. It's all right. Your mother told me that she wanted to take the girls out. Luo'er was with you boys for so many days. She must be bored, and your sisters want to play with her too. You should let the girls play together sometimes. It's not good if you keep her to yourself all the time. She needs friends as much as she needs family."

"But Luilui isn't nice to little Luo Luo!" Han Sheng Ming didn't like the idea of his cute little sister – Han Luo – playing with an ugly girl – Han Luilui.

Han Changhong patiently explained, "Luilui is still a child. She can make mistakes. When she grows up, she will realize her mistakes and will try to make up for it. We need to give her time to grow up. We are all her family."

Han Sheng Ming still didn't agree with what his father was saying but decided to listen to him. "I get it. But if she hurts little Luo Luo, I won't go easy on her."

Han Changhong chided, "Sheng Ming, you are a boy – don't fight girls! If anyone younger than you makes a mistake, just calmly try to make them understand that they made a mistake. Don't hit them."

"…Okay…" Han Sheng Ming reluctantly agreed. 'I will try not to hit anybody as long as they don't lay a finger on little Luo Luo.'

After hanging up the call, Han Changhong shook his head helplessly. "My son's sister complex is getting stronger. I didn't think he had such strong feelings for Luo'er."

Assistant Tong smiled. "Isn't that good? At least there is someone by her side to protect her when you can't, Vice President… I mean Acting President." He hastily corrected himself.

"You are right. She needs someone to protect her. She is only two years old, after all." Han Changhong nodded.

Assistant Tong added, "But Young Master Han will be going to kindergarten soon. He won't get the chance to be with Luo'er all the time in the future."

Han Changhong frowned. "Yes, that's true. But I can't make him wait a year or two for that. He has to catch up to his friends."

Assistant Tong suggested, "Maybe we can let Luo'er be admitted into school a year earlier. That way, she will be able to stay with Young Master Han longer. They are both heirs to the Han Corporation and, you see, I can teach them together if they are at a similar level."

"You can do that, but it might be hard on Luo'er." Han Changhong's heart always drowned into distress when thinking about Han Luo's situation. The last thing he wanted to do is to pressure her.

Assistant Tong proclaimed, "She is the daughter of President Han and Detective Qing Zheng. Please have more faith in her."

"Yes, I should." Han Changhong clenched his fists so tightly that they trembled. He concurred with Assistant Tong rather quickly, and swiftly contacted his assistant. He ordered him, "Contact Sheng Ming's kindergarten."

In the meantime, Han Sheng Ming didn't want to continue practicing karate. He felt discouraged, as though a hollow ball enshadowed his blazing heart. The young boy dragged his feet to the basketball field and played with a ball all day. But time was rambling.

Mo Yuan couldn't keep his mouth shut anymore. He remarked to Tang Yujin, "Isn't he being overdramatic? If he always acts like this, that girl will have a hard time making friends. She can't stay with us all the time."

Tang Yujin shrugged. "I know. It must be nice having an adorable sister. I wish I was him..."

Mo Yuan's countenance had a slight grimace. "Kids are troublesome."

Tang Yujin chuckled. "Little Luo is anything but troublesome. She is cute and sensible. She doesn't disturb us when we are doing something. I guess not all kids are the same – don't you think?"

Mo Yuan mumbled, "Let's see." He also wants to see what type of personality Han Luo has.
