My Beloved

"I think I'm in love with Paris." Han Luo looked at the breathless sight of the City of Light.

Noah casually said, "It is the most romantic city in the world. If you don't fall in love with this city, which city will you fall in love with?" He sighed and added, "It's pretty boring if someone visits this city without a lover though. Wherever I look, an extreme truth reminds me that I'm single."

Han Luo looked around and saw couples everywhere and they were kissing and hugging without caring about the people around them. Her innocent face flushed. She whispered in a soft voice, "It looks like live porn!"

Noah gave her an amazed look. "You think this is porn?!" After asking, he gently rubbed her head and thought, 'She is just an angel from heaven. Just another two years and then she will sign her name with the devil. I can't imagine how corrupted she will become!' He shed tears silently.

Han Luo didn't know what he was thinking. She asked, "This is not porn? Then what is?"

Noah answered, "It is something that requires an adult age to know. It is not something you should know. Don't grow up. Stay like this."

Han Luo protested, "No! I want to grow up as soon as possible. I want to do what adults do."

"Being an adult is no fun!" Noah said. "Let's eat something. I'm starving."

Han Luo agreed. "Yeah, let's go. I'm hungry too."

"You should have told me sooner." Noah felt bad for not thinking about her health. She needs to eat healthy for the competition.

"I don't feel like going back to the hotel. I want to stay here more."

"Let's go." Noah dragged her with him.

In the evening, when Han Luo and Noah went back to the hotel, they met Mo Yuan's ugly expression. Han Luo said, "Oh my, look at the time. No wonder I feel so tired. I'll go to my room first. I need to sleep," saying that she quickly sneaked away.

After she left, Mo Yuan looked at Noah and asked, "Do you have a minute?" He wanted to talk to Noah alone.

"Sure," Noah agreed. He was thinking of talking to him as well.

They went to Noah's room and Noah made coffee for both of them. They went to the balcony. There were two chairs and a round table. From the balcony, they could see Eiffel Tower standing proudly and majestically in the night.

Noah sipped on his coffee and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Mo Yuan asked straightforwardly, "Did you tell Ah Luo to avoid me?"

Noah answered truthfully, "I did not. It's her life; she can decide what to do. I'm not her father who will nag her."

Mo Yuan frowned. "But you must have said something."

"I did, indeed." Noah calmly answered.

Mo Yuan asked him, "What did you tell her?"

Noah casually answered, "I only told her that having skin-ship with a boy who isn't her boyfriend is bad."

Mo Yuan's expression darkened. "Why did you tell her that? She is only like this when she is with me."

Noah put down his mug and said, "But having a suspicious skin-ship with her big brother will ruin her reputation."

"We will become more than a brother and sister."

Noah looked at Mo Yuan directly to his eyes and asked, "How do you know that? She indeed likes you but did she ever romantically look at you? Moreover, what makes you think that she will agree to be your girlfriend?"

"She will, I know it."

Noah chuckled and said nothing. It made Mo Yuan mad. He asked, "Do you think you can stop us? She is not yours and you have no right to control her."

"I know she is not my daughter and I have no control over her. If you love her and she marries you, I will be very happy for the two of you. However, I won't allow anyone to get physical with her when they don't even ask her to be his girlfriend. If you love her romantically, tell her that and listen to her opinion. Then, you two can do whatever you want. As long as I'm alive, you cannot take advantage of her innocence." Noah's eyes became sharper.

He added, "You two are still young and you need to enjoy your life now. You can have romance once you graduate. You have so much time together. What's your hurry? Moreover, you can't even express your feelings to her. How can you kiss her with those feelings? Once she finds out that you are this kind of person, do you think she will still call you big brother?"

Mo Yuan became silent. Since he was little, he was perfect in everything and no one was able to find a flaw in him. As the days passed, people stopped looking for his mistakes and thought whatever he did was okay. No one told him what he did was right or wrong.

Now that Noah pointed it out, he realized that he was being inconsiderate to Han Luo's feelings. He looked down and clenched his fists. He knew that Noah was right. However, Mo Yuan's feelings were true to Han Luo. He never thought of deceiving her or taking advantage of her. He knew it was inappropriate so he never kissed her lips. He only kissed her cheeks, forehead, temple, and head. He was pretty decent.

He decided not to do it. If Han Luo avoided him for acting like this, he would rather not do it. He planned to confess his feelings to her first and then ask her to be his girlfriend. And then he will make the next move.

However, upon hearing Noah's words making him doubt. 'Will it work? What if she doesn't see me more than her big brother? I have to come up with a plan.'

Noah looked at him suspiciously. 'What's he planning now?'
