My Beloved

"Yes, I'm fine." Han Luo's eyes landed on her stomach. Seeing a bulge she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, you are pregnant!

"I'm fine!" The woman smiled in a friendly manner. "Kid, are you lost?"

"No, I'm with my guardian." Han Luo pointed out Noah.

Before the woman could say something, a person called out to her.

"Lan!" A man ran toward them. He was a handsome man with dark brown hair and ocean blue eyes. He looked worried. He told the woman named Lan, "Why do you always wander by yourself? Don't forget that you are pregnant with twins!"

"Liang, you worry too much." Mu Lan giggled playfully.

"Don't worry me too much." Mu Liang said. He hugged her shoulder with one hand and checked her thoroughly if she was hurt anywhere. After he was done he looked at the teenage girl. He glared at Han Luo and asked, "Are you the one who bumped into her?"

Han Luo stepped back out of nervousness and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…"

Mu Lan chided her husband. "Liang, you are scaring her. Both of us have eyes but we both didn't see each other."

"It's because you are pregnant. It's okay for you to make a mistake." Mu Liang tenderly spoke to his wife and coldly glared at Han Luo making the poor girl flinch.

"Just because your wife is pregnant, it doesn't give you the right to threaten others." Mo Yuan walked closer and protectively hugged Han Luo's shoulder the exact way Mu Liang was hugging his wife. His eyes were as cold as Mu Liang's.

"Oh my, a knight in shining armor!" Mu Lan was clearly enjoying this.

Han Luo blushed at her comment. She was nervous that Mo Yuan would do something to this scary looking handsome guy.

"What did you say?" Mu Liang's eyes landed on the teenage boy.

"Did I say anything wrong?" Mo Yuan gritted his teeth and defended Han Luo. Both of them sent sparks with their eyes.

Mu Lan finally tugged her husband's hand. "All right, enough of your childishness. It's not her fault in the first place. If you must blame someone, then you have to blame us both." She spoke sweetly yet firmly.

There is no way Mu Liang will blame his wife. Even if it is her fault, he won't blame her. He shamelessly admits that he is biased.

He grudgingly looked at Mo Yuan and Han Luo and then told his wife, "Don't wander around on your own."

"Yes, yes, I don't want you to kill anyone because of my silly mistakes. Let's go." Mu Lan pulled his hand and turned around to leave. She didn't forget to wave at Han Luo. "Be careful when you walk!"

"I will. You have to take care of yourself too. Take care!" Han Luo waved back. She only talked to her for a while and she already liked that pregnant lady.

Mu Lan smiled brightly and looked at Mu Liang. "Hey, don't you think that girl is very cute. Do you think our daughters will look like her when they grow up?"

Mu Liang said, "How can that be? She has nothing to do with us. You are the prettiest woman in the world. How can our precious daughters look an ugly and dumb girl like her?"

"Uff, you!" Mu Lan pushed his shoulder slightly.

Mu Liang coaxed her, "Our daughters will look like you. They will be as beautiful as angels."

The husband and wife flirted with each other and Han Luo looked at them in a daze.

"What are you looking at?" Mo Yuan asked. He was no longer angry and looked at Han Luo worriedly. "Are you hurt? Did that monster do something to you?"

Han Luo came back to senses and replied, "Ah, no, I'm all right. I was thinking that they were very affectionate. I wish in the future, I will have someone who will cherish me as well."

Mo Yuan tussled her hair and said, "You will have someone who will cherish you day and night."

"I hope so." Han Luo grinned and grabbed his hand. "Big brother Yuan, I want to eat ice cream."

Mo Yuan frowned. "It's getting colder. Why do you want to eat ice cream?"

"It's cold and that's why we should eat ice cream. Ice cream won't melt easily in the cold and we can eat slowly while walking."

Mo Yuan firmly rejected, "You get sick so easily. I won't let you eat ice cream."

"No, big brother Yuan, I want some! Pretty please!" Han Luo whined.

Mo Yuan shook his head helplessly and said, "After the competition ends, I will buy you ice cream as much as you want, okay?"

"Do you promise?" Han Luo asked.

"Yes, I promise. But, if you get sick, it won't be my fault." Mo Yuan warned her.

"Okay!" Han Luo agreed happily.

------

Two days later, the competition started. Han Luo became nervous when she saw talented dancers come across the globe and participated in the competition.

Both Han Luo and Mo Yuan's competition were on the same day, same time. So, she couldn't watch his performance. She only saw in the notice board that Mo Yuan passed the first two rounds.

"If big brother Yuan can do that, I can do this too." Han Luo told herself and walked to the stage. 

Her first performance was Ballet dance in Mendelssohn Symphony No.4 in A Major op. "Italian". Her moves were lively and energetic. She made all the judges impressed by her first move. They watched her dancing until the end.

One of the judges asked her, "How long have you been dancing?"

Han Luo answered, "I have been dancing for nine years and I've been learning Ballet for eight years."

The judge said, "You are twelve. That means you started learning Ballet when you were four."

Han Luo nodded. "Yes."

"That's an impressive dedication.." The judge looked curious. "Did you ever think of quitting when you couldn't do certain moves?"
