Chapter 135 - CELEBRATION
"…" Jared saw how protective Mo Yuan was towards Han Luo and how he would pamper her without any restraint. He couldn't help but wonder, 'I've never seen Yujin or Ming pampering Luo to this extent. Is their relationship normal?'
Soon, they reached the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.
The moment the sky darkened, the city glowed with thousands of lights. In the middle of it, the Eiffel Tower was standing gloriously, illuminating colorful lights.
"It's so pretty!" Han Luo exclaimed dazedly. Even though she came here with Noah before the competition started, she couldn't get enough of the stunning beauty of the proud Eiffel Tower.
"Look, it's time for the Eiffel Tower's illuminations!" Jared pointed to the tower excitedly.
Every evening, the Eiffel Tower adorned with golden covering and sparkles is illuminated for five minutes at an hourly interval, while its beacon shines over Paris.
Just as he said, the beams of light, directed from the bottom towards the top, illuminated the Eiffel Tower from the inside of its structure, creating a picturesque scenery in contrast with the dark and starry background.
"It's magnificent!" Han Luo held her breath.
The majestic tower stood glittering with colorful lights which caused the viewers' eyes to lit up as they were fed with a scrumptious visual feast.
Han Luo couldn't take her eyes off the beauty presented in front of her.
Ma Rui suddenly recalled something and waved the phone in her hands while saying, "Let's take some photos before the lights are turned off."
She mischievously thought to herself 'I can capture some more beautiful moments of her son and Han Luo together for her collection.' She smiled and gave herself a mental pat on her shoulder for not forgetting an important matter.
"All right!" Han Luo agreed happily.
First, they took a group photo, and then they took some individual photos. Later, Noah took a photo of Ma Rui, Han Luo, Mo Yuan together, and then Ma Rui took Han Luo and Mo Yuan's couple photos. She made them pose to her heart's content until she is satisfied with the results. While doing so, she recalled how she cosplayed them when they were little.
Seeing Ma Rui taking photos of Mo Yuan and Han Luo, Jared stepped forward and gave his cell phone to Ma Rui. He asked politely, "Mrs. Mo, can you take a photo of me and Luo?"
Witnessing the hopeful eyes in front of her, Ma Rui froze for a moment before forcing a smile. "Sure, I can." She agreed reluctantly.
"Thank you, Mrs. Mo." Jared thanked her earnestly and stood beside Han Luo.
While taking photos for Jared and Han Luo, Ma Rui was having a mental breakdown, whether she should take a blurred photo or a good one. In the end, she settled to be magnanimous and took a few good pictures. However, her heart was sour.
After the photoshoots, the small group of people went inside the Eiffel Tower. Perched 125 meters above the ground, the one-MICHELIN-starred restaurant Le Jules Verne opens into three successive rooms offering a breathtaking view over the Champ-de-Mars, Quai Branly and Trocadéro. Located on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower, Le Jules Verne enjoys a mythical setting, an invitation for discovery and traveling.
They chose a table near the window, From where they could enjoy the breathtaking view of romantic Paris glittering in the night with the bustling people roaming around the beautiful city.
Han Luo didn't sit immediately, but stood by the window and looked at the City of Light from above as her eyes sparkled in wonder. The view was so surreal that she stared at it dazedly while reminiscing the beauty of it.
Mo Yuan noticed her daydreaming while staring at the City of Light with bright eyes. He walked towards her and gently nudged her, "Do you like this place?"
Han Luo cheerily replied, "I love this place. I wish I could stay here for the rest of my life." She was so happy and excited that her eyes were glistening like stars.
Watching her enthusiastic self, Mo Yuan's heart softened and he stroked her head. "Is that so?" If it wasn't a national property, he would have bought this place for Han Luo and make it their home.
However, on second thought he realized that if it wasn't a national property, his father, Mo Zhen, would beat him to it and buy the whole tower for his beloved wife.
While they were watching the spectacular view of the wonderful city, others had already ordered the signature dishes. As the waiter came and served the food, Han Luo and Mo Yuan joined others at the table.
They couldn't get over the French cuisine. If their stomach weren't filled so much to the point of gagging, they would have eaten more.
After they finished eating their dinner, Ma Rui took them to Macaroon Bar. From chocolate, coffee, lemon to strawberry; macaroons of every flavor to suit all tastes, not to mention the Eiffel Tower Special was right in front of them.
Ma Rui ordered macaroons of different flavors for the children. Han Luo gobbled up three colorful macaroons. "It's so tasty!" She exclaimed. She took one chocolate macaroon and put it in front of Mo Yuan's mouth, wanting to feed him. "Big brother Yuan, have a bite."
Though Mo Yuan wasn't in the mood of eating macaroons, he still opened his mouth and took the whole macaroon into his mouth in one swoop. She wanted to feed him, how could he miss the chance?
Before they left the venue, Noah pulled Han Luo away from the mother-son pair. "When did you become a friend of Jared? Isn't he a racist?" Noah inquired.

Han Luo wants to say something:
Han Luo: I'm very grateful to all my beautiful sisters and handsome brothers for their generous votes, gifts, encouraging comments and reviews. I want to love you all but big brother Yuan will be unhappy. What should I do?
She looked troubled as she tried to find a solution.
