My Beloved

Mu Lan finished her speech, she asked the staff to give everyone special gifts she brought for everyone. The participants came line by line and took the gifts from Mu Lan. They thanked her for being so generous.

When it was Han Luo\'s turn, she came quietly and Mu Lan recognized her instantly. "Oh my! Aren\'t you the girl from the Louvre Museum?"

"Yes, I\'m the sinner." Han Luo still looked pale. At first, she wanted to decline but then thought it wouldn\'t be good if she lied. If she stood honestly and bravely, elders would praise her.

Mu Lan burst into laughter. "Ahahaha! You are such a funny girl! What are you being afraid of? No one is going to kill you."

Han Luo\'s eyes glanced at the doorway for a second. "Um… your husband didn\'t come…"

"Oh, you are worried about him! You don\'t have to worry about him. He won\'t come inside so he won\'t see you." Mu Lan giggled. "And, about that day, it wasn\'t\' your fault. I was always carefree and was too excited to notice you." She lowered her voice and asked, "So, where is your knight in shining armor?"

Han Luo blushed at her tease. She quietly pointed at Mo Yuan and Mu Lan waved at him. "Hi there handsome, how are you doing?"

Mo Yuan scowled at Mu Lan. He didn\'t like it when another woman called him handsome and in front of Han Luo at that.

Mu Lan said, "I didn\'t think you two would be here. Then I should give you a couple sets."

Han Luo was flustered. "Huh? But big brother Yuan and I-"

Mu Lan interrupted her, "All right, all right, I know. You don\'t have to say anything else." She took two red boxes and handed one to Han Luo and another one to Mo Yuan. "This is a special couple set. I know you are working hard. I wish you all the best!"

"Thank you very much!" Han Luo beamed.

"Thank you." Mo Yuan coldly said.

Han Luo softly elbowed him to watch his manners. Her position in the competition was at stake. Mo Yuan glanced at her for a moment and told Mu Lan, "I hope your husband won\'t trouble Ah Luo."

"He won\'t. He won\'t do such a childish thing." Mu Lan said with a bright smile. "How protective! Just like my husband!"

Han Luo wanted to smack her face. She grabbed his arm and quickly told Mu Lan, "I\'m very sorry about my big brother\'s behavior. I hope you give birth to healthy twins. I will pray for your happiness. Please excuse us." 

Then she dragged Mo Yuan out of that room. They went to a quiet spot and finally, Han Luo let go of him. She turned around and faced him. The words \'dissatisfaction\' was written all over her face.

She scolded Mo Yuan, "How can you talk to her like that? She is the sponsor and she is pregnant! If anything happens to her, we will both be kicked out before we could unleash our talents!"

Mo Yuan saw her anger. After she stopped talking, he calmly came closer and cupped her face. "As long as I\'m alive, I won\'t let anything harm you. I promise."

He spoke so gently and his eyes were gazing at her so tenderly and lovingly that Han Luo\'s heart softened. She forgot about her anger and hugged him. She put her arms around his slender waist and mumbled, "Big brother Yuan, you are too good to me. I\'m not used to it."

Mo Yuan didn\'t let go of this opportunity to hug her close to him. He put his chin on her head and smiled. "In this life, I will only be good to you and no one else."

She asked, "Do you promise?" She felt warm inside her heart.

"I promise." He didn\'t forget to plant a soft kiss on her forehead.

Han Luo gasped. She quickly let him go. She touched her forehead where he kissed and said, "Big brother Yuan, you are not allowed to kiss me from now on."

Mo Yuan paused. "Why is that?"

Han Luo innocently said, "Only my man can kiss me affectionately, not my big brother."

"…" Mo Yuan\'s expression slightly changed but he controlled himself quickly. 

He wanted to say that he would become her boyfriend but the time hadn\'t come yet. If he did it now, he was sure that her focus would move from dancing to their relationship. It might ruin her future. 

He finally said, "All right, big brother won\'t kiss you until you say so."

Han Luo was relieved but also slightly disappointed. She didn\'t hate being kissed by him. He always kissed her so lovingly, she could never hate it. If anything, she was getting addicted to his kisses.

On the day of the third competition, Han Luo was preparing in her room. Today is a solo performance. 

She wouldn\'t disagree that she wasn\'t nervous. After getting dressed by herself, she waited in the waiting room. Soon after, her name was called. She took a deep breath and walked to the direction of the stage. Before she entered, she saw a split side of those four girls. They were mockingly smiling at her. 

Han Luo didn\'t have the chance to think about what they were up to be. However, she had a bad feeling about this.

The stage was dark. She walked there and showed her back to the stage. The music started and the lights all focused on her. 

Everyone screamed at her dress-up and the music. She was wearing a crop navy blue top with golden embroidery. Her upper part of the navy blue skirt had the same golden embroidery. A side of her skit was divided, showing her beautifully shaped left leg. Her slender waist was naked and on her navel, a small golden accessory was glittering. Her long, shiny black hair was curled. She wore smokey eye shadows that made her look mature and wore golden high heels.

With the rhyme, she was shaking her whole body including her belly.

She was performing belly dance.
