Chapter 178 - HAN LUO WISHED TO TALK TO MA RUI AND MO ZHEN
Ma Rui and Mo Zhen sat on the couch and were watching the girls and the boys joking around. Ma Rui suddenly came up with an idea. She suggested, "Xiao Yuan, Luo'er, why don't you play music and dance for us? It's been so long since I last saw the two of you perform together."
"It's a good idea. I've never seen you two perform together. I want to enjoy your duet performance," Mo Zhen agreed. He was in a good mood. After getting to know Han Luo, it was the first time he had ever celebrated his son's birthday in a warm environment.
Han Luo proposed, "I've learned how to sing. Why don't I sing for you? Big brother Yuan can play the piano."
"That's a good idea too. I'm happy as long as my Luo'er does something for me," Ma Rui agreed. Her plan was to make her son and Han Luo do something together to make them feel close to each other. As long as her master plan worked, she was content.
Mo Yuan and Han Luo decided what to play. Afterward, Mo Yuan sat on the stool in front of the black piano and his fingers touched the white keys. Soon beautiful melodies filled the room.
Han Luo who was standing beside him started to sing with her soft, waterfall-like voice, "Wise men say, only fools rush in…but I can't help falling in love with you…"
Her soothing voice was refreshing to hear. They felt like cool water splashed on their bodies. She sang in slow motion, pouring her emotions in each and every word. The song was coming from the deep of her soul.
It wasn't that she was in love with anyone and it wasn't that Mo Yuan tried to reach her with his music. However, there was something in her voice and something in his music that blended together and created a harmonious and romantic atmosphere making people think something deep was going on.
Zheng Mian was listening to the song and blinked several times. She asked herself in her mind, 'Why does it feel like they are making love right in front of me? I must be watching too many dirty videos to think something like that. It's just my imagination I guess.'
Han Sheng Ming thought, 'Why does little Luo Luo look like she is confessing her love? It might just be my imagination but is there someone in her heart? I want to know.'
Tang Yujin carefully listened to the song. No one knew what he was thinking.
The song was so romantic that Mo Zhen couldn't help but offer his hand to his significant other. Ma Rui was overwhelmed. She took his hand and then went to the center of the room. They held each other in their arms and began dancing.
Zheng Mian saw them dancing and felt like she needed to dance too. She asked Tang Yujin and polite Tang Yujin couldn't refuse the lady's offer. Two couples danced and another couple sang a song and played music.
Han Sheng Ming felt left out. 'I need a girlfriend…' while thinking his eyes went toward Zheng Mian and Tang Yujin. 'No, no, what am I thinking? There is no way I would like this girl.'
After Han Luo ended the last note, Ma Rui hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you so much dear for coming to our lives. Really, I appreciate it so much."
Han Luo was embarrassed and protested softly, "Mom, shouldn't you say that to big brother Yuan today? It's his birthday."
Ma Rui said in return, "He should be glad that someone like you came to his world."
"Oh, mom," Han Luo was helpless in front of Ma Rui's blind love and affection for her. She kissed Ma Rui's cheek and said, "I'm also grateful to have you all by my side."
"Oh my baby has grown so much!" Ma Rui became emotional and hugged Han Luo tightly.
Mo Zhen came closer and coughed. He spoke in a serious voice, "Luo'er, where is my kiss?"
Han Luo giggled seeing his childishness and gave him a big hug. She tried to reach his face but he was too tall. She complained. "Dad, you are too tall for me to kiss your cheek."
Mo Zhen happily leaned forward and Han Luo planted a small kiss on his cheek. He was delighted. He thought, 'Having a daughter isn't bad. I think a daughter is better than a grumpy son.' While thinking that, he looked at his son who was looking at their direction with a dark expression. Mo Zhen spoke in his mind, 'I knew he would be jealous.'
Mo Yuan wasn't just jealous. He was extremely jealous. Han Luo kissed his parents right in front of everyone but she wouldn't agree to kiss him in front of others. When he asked for a reason, she couldn't give him any. She stuck to her stubbornness and didn't kiss him on the cheek in public.
After dinner, Han Luo found Ma Rui and Mo Zhen together outside the house. She walked closer. She hesitated before calling them out, "Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you."
Ma Rui said, "We can talk but let's go inside. It's too cold for you to be outside."
They went inside and Han Luo said, "Last night, I got a call from President Mu Liang's assistant. He said something weird."
--------------
Yesterday, Han Luo couldn't answer Assistant Ju Long's call. When she saw his number on the mobile notification, she called him back. As he answered, she said, "Assistant Ling, I didn't think you would call. Sorry, I was busy with my family members."
Assistant Ju Long replied, "It's completely understandable. I'm glad that you reached safely. I've something to tell you that is very important. As per President Mu's order, I assigned two bodyguards for you. They had been secretly protecting you for two years. They have reported to me that you have a stalker. When they tried to look for that stalker, they slipped away. We think they are professionals. After you left, that person also went to London. I want you to stay safe and inform your guardians about it. Maybe they hired something to keep an eye on you secretly. I've already called them but they didn't answer, I'll call them again tomorrow."
"I understand. Thank you, Assistant Long. I will tell them. You don't have to worry about it anymore." Han Luo was grateful that he shared something so important to her first.
---------------
When Han Luo explained, Ma Rui and Mo Zhen became quiet. After a long while, Ma Rui said, "Luo'er, as per the contract we couldn't keep anyone beside you. However, it couldn't make us assured. That's why President Mu Liang personally visited me with his assistant and promised me that he wouldn't let anyone harm you and he would assign bodyguards for you. He even let a girl stay with you so that she could help you in need. That's why I was assured and signed the contract for you. We have never sent any bodyguards."
Han Luo paused before saying, "What about big brother Yuan? Could he-"
Mo Zhen answered, "We keep an eye on our son, Luo'er. Moreover, Xiao Yuan always contacts us before doing something important.. I don't think it was him either."
