My Beloved

"She is suffering from fever because of the pain," Jared said slowly, which caused slight panic in little Luo's heart. "She doesn't want to see anyone. The medical team said that she would be better in two to three days." Jared explained to clear her concerns as such. 

Han Luo lamented, "Ah, I wish I could be by her side to look after her." She really wanted to help her friend in need who played a crucial role in her surprise return to the stage. 

"She is two years older than you. If you can stay by yourself, she can too. You don't have to worry about her," Mo Yuan can understand her line of thought. He continued to coax her gently, "You can always meet her after she gets well. Just focus on the semi final for now. It's more important."

Han Luo protested stubbornly, "How can a competition be more important than friendship?"

Mo Yuan tried to reason with her, "She endured the bullying and took this risk because she wanted you to return and achieve your dream. Don't let her pain go in vain." He was worried that she would be affected by Zenna. Since Han Luo easily suffered from a cold, everyone around her was careful.

Han Luo could only pout. She knew very well how overprotective Mo Yuan could be.

Later, Han Luo went to the hotel with Noah and Ma Rui to re-pack her luggage. She didn't touch her costume bag much after coming, so she didn't take much time to settle everything she needs to pack. Ma Rui drove her to the hotel that was arranged for the participants.

While driving, Ma Rui thought of the subsequent events that resulted due to the inconvenience caused during the competition, "I've heard that the director of the competition was fired because of the incident. Serves him right! Who told his daughter to go after my precious Luo'er?" She grunted. 

She wished she could make that man and her daughter disappear from the earth. 

As long as she is alive, she won't allow anyone to harm her cute little Luo'er. Her protective 'mother hen' nature is acting up again. 

Han Luo tried to console her, "Mom, don't say that. Just think what those girls might go through because of their exposed despicable nature and lack of pure luck." 

She continued, "Right now the whole world knows what they had done and these girls lost their credibility as such." She didn't feel pity for those girls but thinking that they would have a hard time facing the cruelty of the harsh world, she felt a little bad for them.

"Bullies will be bullied. There is no better punishment than this," Noah interjected. "They need to get the taste of their own medicine."

"You are right about that." Han Luo contemplated a bit and felt that she couldn't agree more. She gave him a thumb's up and thought, 'Every action will have a reaction. So, one should be responsible and be ready for the consequences of their deeds.'

After reaching the hotel, Han Luo left her luggage in the hotel room that was reserved for her and went downstairs to meet Mo Yuan and the others.

"We should celebrate for Luo'er. She is back on the competition thanks to her friends." Ma Rui announced gleefully. Though she didn't like other boys except for her own son to get closer to Han Luo, she still appreciated Jared's help.

Upon hearing this Han Luo was overjoyed. She wasn't expecting a celebration in the middle of the competition. She was gleefully grinning. 

Mo Yuan looked at Han Luo's excited expression with a pampering gesture and suggested, "We can go to the Eiffel Tower. There is a famous restaurant."

"That's a good idea." Ma Rui was so proud of her son who chose a good place to celebrate. She wished she could send only her son with Han Luo for a romantic candlelight dinner. However, since it was a celebration, she told Jared, "Jared, you are a good friend of Luo'er. You must have dinner with us."

"Mrs. Mo, that's not necessary," Jared tried to reject politely.

"This is for Luo'er. As her friend, you shouldn't reject it." Ma Rui wouldn't take 'no' for an answer.

Jared gave a quick glance at Han Luo who was looking at him with a face full of expectations. He sighed and finally agreed, "All right then. Thank you for the invitation, Mrs. Mo."

"Yay! I'm going to the Eiffel Tower tonight!" Han Luo clapped. She was overjoyed. She wished Zenna was here as well. 

Ma Rui led the small bustling troop to her car. While Ma Rui drove, Noah sat on the passenger seat beside her. Han Luo, Mo Yuan, and Jared sat on the back passenger seats. Obviously, Mo Yuan sat between them. He had no interest in letting Jared sit beside Han Luo or any other boy for the concerned matter.

She is his Ah Luo. He will never allow another man, sitting beside her and taking advantage of her. Her everything belongs to him alone.

It was already the month of December and the City of Light was getting colder. Mo Yuan wrapped the woolen muffler around Han Luo's neck carefully. He gently reprimanded her, "You cannot go out without a muffler."

Han Luo pursed her lips. "Big brother Yuan, you worry too much." Sometimes, she can't understand his overprotective tendencies. 

Mo Yuan looked at her pouty lips and averted his gaze. He helplessly shook his head. "It's you who would catch a cold very easily, not me. Tell me, How can I not worry when you are so sensitive to cold winds?"
