Another day had come. Mr. Hui was outside the mansion, showing Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, and Mo Yuan a few karate moves. They had the option of protecting themselves under the shadows of the big trees, but the austere instructor wanted to test the trio's abilities – he wanted to see if they could withstand this unbearable heat. This day's weather was harsher than yesterday's. It was humid. Everyone was drenched in sweat and felt uncomfortable.

Han Luo wore a half-sleeved white dress with pink polka dots, and also wore a pair of pink shoes decorated with white lace. Her hair was tied up into two buns with white silk lace, matching her shoes. Tang Yujin's maid dressed her up with great care.

It was the fifth day since Han Sheng Ming and Han Luo had arrived at the Tang Mansion; five simple days of peace and fun.

While Han Luo's cousin was practicing martial arts, she was rashly running under the sun's blooming brilliance. One of the butlers had given her a ball, and little Luo was cheerfully kicking it. Her face and body flushed in the heat, but she didn't care – it was the most fun she's had in awhile. But soon, her energy had drained out. Han Luo decided to sit under the tree, where she started to feel drowsy.

At that moment, the butler came with a handset. He stroked her small head while giving her the handset. "Little lady, it's a call from your home."

"Home?" Han Luo tilted her head. She didn't know who would call her. No one would be at home. Everyone already left her. Little Luo gazed at the handset before clumsily placing it on her ear. "Hello?"

"Xiao Luo, what are you doing?" A coaxing sound came from the other side.

"W-who?" Han Luo couldn't recognize the voice of this person.

"Xiao Luo, can't you recognize me? I see, this is the first time I'm talking to you through a phone. I'm your auntie! Xiao Luo, have you been well?" Du Liu spoke with concern.

"Uh-huh…" Han Luo answered softly.

"It's so hot today so don't play outside too much. Drink more water. Stay inside, all right?" Du Liu sounded so motherly. Her caring words would melt someone's heart.

"Okay…" Han Luo mumbled.

"What is Sheng Ming doing?"

"…Fighting…" Han Luo didn't know that karate was a martial art. She noticed Han Sheng Ming trying to punch and kick Tang Yujin, so she thought that her big brother Ming was fighting.

Du Liu knew her son's schedule, so she understood what her niece meant. She replied in an endearing tone, "Xiao Luo, it has been four days. Don't you miss your auntie and cousins?"

"Unn…" Han Luo could only force a response. She wasn't sure whether to say 'yes' or 'no'.

Du Liu continued sweetly, "I was thinking of going to visit your mommy and daddy. Do you want to come?"

Han Luo blinked. "Mommy? Daddy?"

Du Liu kindly said, "Yes, I will take you to visit them. Don't you want to see your mommy and daddy? You miss them, don't you?"

Han Luo had a sudden outburst of excitement. "I want mommy! I want daddy!" She longed to see her parents.

Du Liu smiled. "All right, I'll be waiting for you in front of the gate. Come quickly. Give the phone to the person next to you."

Han Luo handed the handset to the Head Butler. He said politely to Du Liu, "Ma'am, is there something else?"

Du Liu answered, "I want to take my niece to the hospital and the graveyard. She misses her parents very much. Please let her stay in front of the gate. I'm on my way and will be there in five minutes."

The butler hesitated before saying, "I need Young Master Tang's permission and –"

"But they are busy, and I don't want them to be disturbed. I'm almost close to the Tang Household. Do you want me, the Madam of the Han Family, to be delayed and wait for her niece?" Du Liu's voice strained at the end.

Han Luo is the Young Lady of the Han Family, and her present guardian wants to take her somewhere. As a servant of another family, the butler had no right to say anything.

He knew that there were hardly any people in the Han Family who cared for this orphan, but he was powerless against the Madam of the Han Family. He dubiously agreed, "I shall send the Young Lady to the gate."

"Good." Du Liu hung up.

The butler helplessly took Han Luo's hand and asked her, "Do you still want to go?"

Han Luo nodded in answer.

Yet he felt his chest twist at the thought of sending her to Du Liu. "…But your auntie doesn't like you…" Four days ago, when he took the handset to Han Sheng Ming, he heard the conversation between the mother and son. The conversation alone was enough to prove that Madam Han didn't like Miss Han.

Han Luo exclaimed, "Mommy! Daddy! I want to see mommy! Daddy!" Her eyes were glittering like the sparks of the sun.

"I see. I shall send you there then." The butler had no option but to take Han Luo to the gate. In no time, the Han Family's black Mercedes stopped right in front of the gate and the chauffeur exited the car. He bowed to Han Luo and thanked the butler of the Tang Family politely. Then he escorted Han Luo to the passenger seat. The butler saw a glimpse of Du Liu and her two daughters – they didn't seem very happy to see the adorable Han Luo. The car drove off as the butler continued looking at the car. He kept looking till the car faded into the mirage. Yet the thought of it still ate at him; he had a bad feeling about this.

The butler turned around and walked briskly. He strode to where the three boys were practicing martial arts and bowed respectfully. "Young Master Han, Madam Han and the Young Ladies of the Han Family came and took Young Miss Han Luo away. Madam Han said that she wanted to take Young Miss Han Luo to see her parents, and the Young Miss seemed very excited."

"What did you say?" Han Sheng Ming was stunned. "My mommy took little Luo Luo to visit uncle and auntie?!" He couldn't believe his ears. He refused to believe his ears. He swiftly glanced at Tang Yujin. "Nothing will happen, right? Right?"

Tang Yujin shrugged. "You're asking the wrong person."

Mr. Hui declared, "I don't think she would dare to do anything bad. If something happens to Luo, your mother will be the number one suspect. It's clear that her relationship with Luo is bad, after all."

Tang Yujin retorted, "But it's still uncertain."
