My Beloved

Meanwhile, Ma Rui had woken up from her deep slumber. Her eyes fluttered open and saw a toned body next to her. Recalling the blissful night, she smiled in satisfaction and hugged the warm body. Mo Zhen rubbed her head tenderly and whispered, "Good morning, my darling."

"Good morning... what time is it?" Ma Rui asked sleepily.

"It's already noon. Is your body okay?" Mo Zhen pulled her closer and planted a kiss on her head.

"Hmm… I'm fine… wait – it's noon?!" Ma Rui sat up in a flash, startling her husband. Mo Zhen also sat up and asked, "What's wrong? Did you forget something?"

Ma Rui asked in a panic, "What about Luo'er and Xiao Yuan? Are they still sleeping? What about Sheng Ming and Xiao Yujin? Are they with Luo'er?"

Mo Zhen replied, "It's okay, it's okay – they'll be fine." He didn't understand why his wife was acting like this.

Feelings of fear enshadowed Ma Rui's heart. "Oh no! What's going to happen now?"

Mo Zhen grabbed his wife's arm and forced her to look at him. His expression turned serious, "Tell me, what are you afraid of?"

Ma Rui gazed at him and answered, "My plan is going to be ruined by those two brats!"

Mo Zhen asked, "What plan?"

"My plan to make Luo'er Xiao Yuan's bride!" Ma Rui spoke as if it were obvious.

Mo Zhen's face dropped as he had a sudden realization. Seeing his wife's concerned countenance over such a trivial matter made him burst into laughter. "Pfft! Ahahaha… What was that? My darling, aren't you being too hasty? They are not even ten! What do they understand about love? And more importantly, love isn't something to be forced. Our son already hates girls. If you force him to be with that little girl, your plan might be backfired, and he will end up single for the rest of his life."

Ma Rui shook her head. She retorted in a serious manner, "I think that they do understand love, actually. Sheng Ming and Xiao Yujin are way too scheming. They even came to find us just because I took Luo'er with me!"

"I can't believe such amusing ideas come from your head." Mo Zhen laughed until tears formed in his eyes. His stomach was also hurting.

"I should get up now. I can't let those two brats take Luo'er away from Xiao Yuan." As she said, Ma Rui tried to get up, but she was pulled into Mo Zhen's arms. He cooed calmly, "Relax, they woke up early and Xiao Yuan's friends weren't awake then. I let my assistant take them to a nearby festival."

"So, they are not with them. Thank goodness." Ma Rui finally relaxed her body.

"I guess your eight year old rivals aren't a threat right now! Honestly, I thought you were busy with your photography. If I knew you had time for our son's matchmaking, then I would have taken you with me." Mo Zhen suddenly suggested, "Why don't you open your studio around the company, and then we can stay here together?"

"Ah! Why didn't you say that sooner? I've already made a plan and I'm working on it now…" Ma Rui told him everything in detail.

At that time, Han Luo and Mo Yuan flew to Melbourne, by helicopter, to the Moomba Festival. The Moomba Festival showcased vibrant parades, colorful floats, fun-filled carnivals, exciting water activities, flashy display of fireworks, and – of course – great food and fantabulous music to feed one's soul.

Mo Zhen's assistant, Miss Jennifer, bought ice cream for the kids. After finishing her ice cream, Han Luo tugged her hand and sung, "Auntie, auntie, can I wear those festival dresses as well? They're so colorful and beautiful! I want a dress like that."

Miss Jennifer was fond of the young girl the moment she first saw her. When she noticed that Han Luo was trying her best to speak in English, she complimented the little girl in her mind and replied, "We can buy it. Come with me." She took Han Luo and Mo Yuan's hands and went with them to a store.

Thirty minutes later, Han Luo came out of the store wearing a bright red crop top, which only covered her chest area, and a flashy red skirt. The clothes were decorated with golden glitters. She wore a red flower hat on her head which was bigger than her small, chubby face. She also wore glittered bracelets and a choker. The saleswoman happily decorated her face around the eyes and forehead with color. Han Luo looked exactly like the girls from the parade.

Assistant Jennifer was pleased with the artwork and declared, "Let me take a photo." Saying that she took some photos of Han Luo and Mo Yuan.

Han Luo was jumping and dancing like a butterfly. She was so happy to have a dress like those girls in the parade. She smiled brightly and asked Mo Yuan, "Big brother Yuan, how do I look?"

Mo Yuan's face held a small smile as he answered, "You look like a red fairy from a fairy tale." He was right about that; they saw fairies in picture books and animated movies. Han Luo was small, pretty, and looked stunning in her vivid dress.

"Thank you, big brother Yuan!" Han Luo laughed.

As they walked around, many spectators looked at her and took pictures with her. The foreign girl looked so pretty; it was natural that they'd praise her. Han Luo was nervous at first but soon easily got along with the people. After lunch, they went to the National Gallery of Victoria – the oldest public art gallery in Australia. The National Gallery of Victoria holds more than 70,000 works of art in two city locations. After that, they went to the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Assistant Jennifer decided to take a brief rest while Mo Yuan and Han Luo looked around some trees. But the girl was captivated by the colorful butterflies, which danced around the flowers. Han Luo had given into her admiration and excitedly chased after them.

"Hey, don't run so fast!" Mo Yuan hastily followed after her.. Before he could open his mouth to call for her again, Han Luo collided with someone and fell to the ground.
