My Beloved

Mo Zhen asked his wife, "Why did you decide to ask her to be your model all of a sudden? What were you thinking?"

Upon hearing his question, Ma Rui smiled. She explained her reasons, "The entertainment industry is dark. Although Luo\'er was under the protection of the Mu Corporation, she could still sense the underlying complications involved. That\'s why despite her willingness to work as a model she hesitated. After all, there is hardly any company like the Mu Corporation."

She added, "And, That was the very reason for this spontaneous decision of mine; to offer her an opportunity to be my exclusive model. I also want to take beautiful pictures of my cute little girl personally. I enjoy it dearly. It would be like killing two birds with one stone."

Saying this she beamed at him happily. "Moreover, She can work under me as much as she wants with added benefits. If she was working in other agencies, she had to leave fifty percent of her income to the agency itself. However, that won\'t be the case when it comes to us and she can have full payment for herself. Furthermore, she is doing it to pay her uncle back. In this way, she would be able to gather the amount in a much shorter time frame. How can I not help her?"

She sighed deeply and continued, "My only regret is this little girl grew up too fast. Sometimes, I feel that I\'m subpar when it comes to taking good care of her. Maybe I couldn\'t give her proper love and affection. Xiao Zheng is watching from heaven. I think she will blame me for making her daughter work so hard."

Mo Zhen didn\'t agree with her. "I don\'t think so. Your friend was a wise person. I think she would be happy to see that you raised her daughter as a responsible, honest person. Any parent would wish for such a holistic growing environment for their child. We also want our Yuan to be responsible for Luo\'er, don\'t we?"

"That\'s true," Ma Rui admitted. She changed the subject and asked, "By the way, do you think that President Han has any chance of waking up? It hurts seeing Luo\'er going to the hospital every Saturday and Sunday morning. She has been waiting for her father for so long. If he doesn\'t wake up, it\'ll be a huge blow to her."

"I know but it\'s out of our hand. All we can do is now to pray for her." Mo Zhen embraced his wife. He worriedly shared a piece of news, "I was looking for the trace of the stalker. I almost found him. Guess what happened. He was found dead last night. He was murdered. Some people ganged up and butchered him mercilessly."

"Oh my!" Ma Rui gasped. Her heart dropped in fear. She asked him curiously, "How did that happen?"

Mo Zhen slowly shook his head and answered, "I have no clue. The police are working on it. They still haven\'t found the person\'s identity. We offered them a helping hand thinking the investigation would be faster this way. It would be a difficult task to find out who killed him with the limited resources we have. It would be better if the killers were normal gangsters. However, if they are not, I\'m afraid Luo\'er will be in big trouble."

Ma Rui held his arm and suggested, "Baby, do you think we should hire some bodyguards for her?"

Mo Zhen also thought about it at first but he wasn\'t sure anymore. He told her about the worst possible scenario that may arise, "What if there is a mole within them. We don\'t even know what we are dealing with. I wish there was a clue."

He didn\'t want to create any opportunities for the unknown enemy. A moment of carelessness on their part could result in unfortunate losses. It won\'t kill them to be on guard when dealing with such situations.

He added in a solemn voice, "Honey, I really don\'t want to mix you and our Yuan in this danger. I want you guys to stay safe and live happily, far from these sort of life-threatening circumstances."

Saying this he tightened his arms around Ma Rui and pulled her close in his embrace. He took some deep breaths to calm down his unsettled heart. Ma Rui let him hug her without interrupting his line of thought.

After a moment, He continued with uncertainty evident in his tone, "I don\'t know what your best friend was dealing with before her death but it put her whole family in danger. They somehow found out that Luo\'er is still alive. That\'s why they could be after her. I wish I could hide Luo\'er from this dangerous world."

Hearing this made Ma Rui think about something that she wasn\'t able to come to terms with for a long time. She faced him and shared her thoughts, "Do you think that\'s why I had a hard time getting the visa for Luo\'er?" It might be possible that the mysterious force that stopped her from achieving her attempt could be their current opponent.

Mo Zhen shrugged. "It could be the reason. Some people don\'t want her to reach a higher and better position than her previous self. It will be even harder than this in the future. As long as she is under our wings, she won\'t be facing any problems; but I\'m worried about you and our Yuan\'s safety. We are in the light but the enemy was lurking freely in the shadows."

Ma Rui hugged her husband and assured him, "We will be fine. We will be okay. Don\'t worry about it. Let\'s focus on the present. You can prepare a contract for her and help her to understand it."

She added, "Also after this work is done, we should tell her about this incident. We cannot keep it from her forever. Since she has to know it sooner or later, we need to tell her whenever something like this happened. However, if she stays clueless, she won\'t know about the danger that is approaching her. It would be better if she could prepare herself beforehand, for any unprecedented dangers."

Mo Zhen was comforted by his wife and agreed. "I think so too. I will make it short and won\'t give her the details for now. I don\'t think she can handle it at such a young age. As long as she gets the warning, she will understand. She is a smart girl. She won\'t do anything reckless. Where is she now?"

"She went to meet a ballet dancer. She kept saying that it was once in a lifetime opportunity, so I let her go with her dancing partner. I swear, if that boy dares to steal my Luo\'er, I\'ll slaughter him." Ma Rui fumed in anger.

Mo Zhen chuckled. "You can do whatever you wish. I\'ll ask my assistant to prepare the contract. You can give him some ideas."

"All right, thank you, my baby. You are the best." Ma Rui kissed her husband.

Han Luo and Jared came out of the hotel room after meeting Silvia. They were on their way to the parking lot. Jared\'s face was full of smiles while Luo was walking ahead with a bounce in every step. She seemed very energetic as if she had achieved something remarkable.

She chirped excitedly, "I never thought she would be so friendly. I love her so much."

"She is a good person. I\'m glad that we had the chance to dance with her. Let\'s do our best," Jared was excited too. He felt energetic after meeting the dancer.

"Yeah, let\'s do it," Han Luo nodded in agreement.

When they reached the exit door leading to the parking lot, Han Luo realized that the surrounding area was eerily silent. She lifted her head and scanned the area but couldn\'t find anything unusual. She didn\'t think much of it and pushed that thought to the back of her mind.

However, just as they turned at a corner and came nearer to Mrs. Moore\'s car, she sensed someone staring at her. When she turned around, she saw several men standing beside a car.

They were staring at her intently. Even after being discovered by her, they didn\'t bother to hide the laid out fact that they were waiting there for her.. They stared at her intensely.
