My Beloved

"She is just an eighteen years old girl. Why are you giving her so much pressure?" Han Changhong complained. "And she didn't accept you as her family just because you didn't contact her for sixteen years. Do you think she will call him 'grandfather'?"

"From what I observed, she doesn't care about the people who don't care for her. If our father cared about his granddaughter, why didn't he contact her sooner? And, the same goes for you," he blamed his youngest brother. 

"I have no idea what is your motive behind your sudden visit but must tell you one thing; don't mess with her," he warned Han Cheng. 

He added, "She is a hardworking smart girl who came all this way without letting us do anything for her. She doesn't have anyone to share her thoughts, pains and sufferings. She won't let us worry about her. She keeps everything to herself. If you still love and respect your second brother, try to care for her."

"I will, elder brother," Han Cheng promised.

"Ah, it feels so good to stay in the pool water," Han Sheng Ming commented with a satisfied sigh. 

Tang Yujin organized the pool party for Han Lou. As per her request, he invited Han Sheng Ming, Mo Yuan, Beth and her boyfriend Sean. The boys were wearing swimming trunks.

Han Sheng Ming already went to the pool and cooled his warm body. Others were still standing beside the pool and chatting.

"Little Luo wanted to hold the party but I told her that I would arrange everything," Tang Yujin offered a glass of green coconut juice to Han Sheng Ming.

"You did the right thing," Han Sheng Ming agreed while taking the glass from his friend.

"Where are the girls?" Sean asked. "Beth said that she would only change her clothes."

"Is this the first time you guys are on a date?" Han Sheng Ming asked.

Sean nodded and replied, "That's right. We live in two different countries. It's hard to meet each other. Even if we do meet, we spend most of the time talking about the business."

"It must be tough," Tang Yujin stated.

"It's not that bad. I'm fine as long as we are together. At least we can see each other every week. For now it's fine."

"'For now', you say," Mo Yuan mumbled. He wasn't interested in talking to Sean. He was sitting on a chair with a plate of snacks in his hand. 

"Did you say something?" Han Sheng Ming asked Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan silently shook his head. 

"Sorry for being late, boys," someone announced.

The boys turned to see the four girls. After seeing the girls, they got peculiar expressions on their faces. 

Sean was startled but then he looked uncomfortable. His cheeks were turning slightly red. Tang Yujin was silent. Han Sheng Ming's jaw dropped and Mo Yun stared without blinking.

Ling brown was wearing a one-piece sky blue colored swimsuit. Though it was conservative, she was feeling uneasy. She was a bit embarrassed because the boys were looking in their direction. Her hair was braided.

"You look beautiful, Ling," Tang Yujn gave her a kind smile as usual.

"Th-thank you," Ling Brown seemed relieved. 

Beth was wearing an orange two-piece swimsuit. Her bottom piece was designed as a skirt. Her hair was tied in a bun on the top of her head. She was wearing her glasses. She walked toward Sean and asked him shyly, "How do I look?"

Sean gazed at her quietly before saying, "You look so pretty that I want to hide you from others."

Beth giggled and then told him, "Don't worry, other boys are too busy to look at me right now."

Just as she said, Han Sheng Ming was dumbfoundedly looking at Zheng Mian. She was wearing a two-piece bikini. Her hair was hanging on her left shoulder. 

She smirked seeing Han Sheng Ming gazing at her in a stupefied way. She sat on the floor close to him and dipped her legs in the water. 

"Like what you see?" she playfully asked him.

"Wha…!" Han Sheng Ming shouted while moving and water splashed around them. His face was beet red. 

Unknown to him, his nose was bleeding. His bleeding started when Zheng Mian sat down close to him.

Zheng Mian shook her head and dived into the water. She swam forward and their distance shortened.

She put her arms around him before he could move away and her chest rubbed against his.

"What do you think you are doing?!" Han Sheng Ming attempted to move away.

Zheng Mian urgently said, "Don't move. Your nose is bleeding. If your beloved sister sees you like this, I'm pretty sure she will think of you as a pervert."

"Wait… huh?" Han Sheng Ming's mind was where their bodies were touching. Her soft breasts were caressing his toned chest, making his body temperature rise.

"Just hold me. I'll cover you," she whispered in his ear.

Han Sheng Ming sensed his body growing numb. He stuttered, "H-how should I hold you?"

"Just hug my waist. I'll be close to you," her eyes were glittering in amusement as she spoke.

Han Sheng Ming's fingers were shaking when he reached out. The moment his slender fingers touched her smooth waist, he felt electrifying sensations all over his body. 

He grabbed her waist with both hands and pulled her closer. "Wipe my blood," he requested in a quiet voice.

A sweet smile spread all over Zheng Mian's face. "Sure," she replied. She gently used her hand to wipe his blood.

At that moment, Mo Yuan was gazing at Han Luo intently.

She was wearing a hot pink color two-piece bikini. Her swimsuit was only covering her private areas which were only ever revealed to Mo Yuan. 

Her short straight hair was almost touching her shoulders. The front part was covering her forehead.

Han Luo snickered seeing Zheng Mian going toward dumbfounded Han Sheng Ming. Afterward, she turned to see others. 

Seeing Mo Yuan, her eyes halted and their eyes locked.

"Come here," Mo Yuan spoke in a deep voice.
