My Beloved

No matter how reserved Mo Yuan was, he was completely helpless against Han Luo's cuteness. He was under her spell. 

He will indulge her no matter what she does or for whatever she wants from him. It's the same as this in the past and will continue in the future.

As she didn't want to let him go, he could only hold her close to his heart and let her hug him to her heart's content. He asked while playing with her soft curls, "Doesn't the cold wind bother you?"

Han Luo shook her head and smiled cutely. "No, big brother Yuan is warm enough to protect me from the cold wind," She remarked as a matter of fact, pulling his heartstrings ever so cutely like a cute little rabbit. 

Upon hearing such a sweet answer with her melodious voice, Mo Yuan could only indulge her more. He embraced her with his left hand and pinched her cheek with his right hand. He looked at her deeply and asked, "Are you happy?"

"Yes, I'm very, very happy and it's all thanks to you," Han Luo replied earnestly while grinning ear to ear.

"Since I did this for you, why don't you give me a reward?" Mo Yuan tried to trick the cute little rabbit. 

"What do you want?" She asked him warily. She must be vigilant towards him, as she had already learned her lesson. She will never promise him blindly without knowing what he wants.

"Here," he pointed at his right cheek and said, "give me a kiss." Mo Yuan laid a trap for the cute Luo while making it feel as innocent as he spouted the so-called reward with a mischievous glint in his black orbs. 

Han Luo's face flushed pale red as she observed him. She hesitantly asked him, "Big brother Yuan, did you actually help me for this kissing reward or for my actual sake?"

Mo Yuan discreetly smiled. "What do you think?" 

Han Luo hummed and tiptoed to kiss him. Since Mo Yuan was leaning toward her, she didn't have a hard time getting close to his face. However, just as her lips were about to touch his lips, he moved away from her, not letting her kiss. 

Han Luo was surprised at first and looked at him with confusion and amazement written all over her cute face. After seeing his mischief look, she pouted. Since he was challenging her she would gladly accept his challenge

All of a sudden she grabbed his violet tie and pulled him toward her. As his face came near hers, she quickly kissed his cheek and clicked her tongue at him playfully. Her triumph look said, 'Did you think you can win against me? Dream on!'

Mo Yuan chuckled in a deep voice watching her antics. "Fine, you win." He leisurely draped his overcoat over Han Luo's shoulders and helped her to wear it while saying, "Don't wear such revealing clothes in front of people next time."

Han Luo obediently let him help her wear the overcoat. "But, big brother Yuan, this is a costume for my dance performance and a costume should be according to the dancing style, don't you agree with me?" She defended herself innocently. 

"I know that it is a costume and of course the purpose it serves. However, you should still wear something less revealing." Mo Yuan suggested, "Why don't you ask Noah to help you choose a costume for you next time?" He knew very well that Noah would never let her wear something so revealing.

"…If he was a professional dancer, I would have asked his opinion," Han Luo replied nonchalantly. She couldn't find the logic to ask Noah's help with things he wasn't good at.

"Who chose this costume for you?" Mo Yuan pried. His expression was dark but Han Luo didn't have the time to notice it.

Without thinking much, she replied, "Who else could it be? It's Mary, of course!"

Mary was the famous dancer who was guiding Han Luo along with Benjamin.

"…I see. Ah Luo, let's go back inside. We need to pack your luggage and bring it to your hotel room," Mo Yuan steered the conversation effortlessly and said. "I happen to know that all the participants would move to another hotel and we will be able to stay in the same hotel."

Han Luo exclaimed in happiness and excitement, "Wow! That will be great! We have to let mom and Noah know."

"Hmm, let's go." Mo Yuan hugged her shoulder and took her inside the hall. 

Those who have seen her started to welcome her back while congratulating her because of her unexpected glorious return. 

Mo Yuan led her to the changing room. After changing into her casual clothes, she came out and found that Mo Yuan and Jared were waiting for her while talking to each other in hushed tones. Seeing Han Luo coming out, they sealed their lips. Mo Yuan and Jared have already changed back to their casual clothes. 

Han Luo was thinking about what will be her next step in the competition. As such, she didn't pay much attention to their behavior. She walked toward them with a small smile hanging on her lips and tugged Mo Yuan's long sleeve. "Big brother Yuan, I want to meet Zenna."

After hearing Han Luo's words, Jared replied, "The staff packed her bag and took her to another hotel. Since she passed this round, we will meet her after we move to that hotel too."action

"She passed! I knew it. The judges and the audiences aren't blind. They saw her potential and let her stay." She exclaimed with happiness. Then her face was marred with concern as she asked them "However, can she dance? How's she feeling now?"
