Volume 1 Chapter 119 The Third Round (1/2)
Mu Lan finished her speech, she asked the staff to give everyone special gifts she brought for everyone. The participants came line by line and took the gifts from Mu Lan. They thanked her for being so generous.
When it was Han Luo's turn, she came quietly and Mu Lan recognized her instantly. ”Oh my! Aren't you the girl from the Louvre Museum?”
”Yes, I'm the sinner.” Han Luo still looked pale. At first, she wanted to decline but then thought it wouldn't be good if she lied. If she stood honestly and bravely, elders would praise her.
Mu Lan burst into laughter. ”Ahahaha! You are such a funny girl! What are you being afraid of? No one is going to kill you.”
Han Luo's eyes glanced at the doorway for a second. ”Um your husband didn't come”
”Oh, you are worried about him! You don't have to worry about him. He won't come inside so he won't see you.” Mu Lan giggled. ”And, about that day, it wasn't' your fault. I was always carefree and was too excited to notice you.” She lowered her voice and asked, ”So, where is your knight in shining armor?”
Han Luo blushed at her tease. She quietly pointed at Mo Yuan and Mu Lan waved at him. ”Hi there handsome, how are you doing?”
Mo Yuan scowled at Mu Lan. He didn't like it when another woman called him handsome and in front of Han Luo at that.
Mu Lan said, ”I didn't think you two would be here. Then I should give you a couple sets.”
Han Luo was fl.u.s.tered. ”Huh? But big brother Yuan and I-”
Mu Lan interrupted her, ”All right, all right, I know. You don't have to say anything else.” She took two red boxes and handed one to Han Luo and another one to Mo Yuan. ”This is a special couple set. I know you are working hard. I wish you all the best!”
”Thank you very much!” Han Luo beamed.
”Thank you.” Mo Yuan coldly said.
Han Luo softly elbowed him to watch his manners. Her position in the competition was at stake. Mo Yuan glanced at her for a moment and told Mu Lan, ”I hope your husband won't trouble Ah Luo.”
”He won't. He won't do such a childish thing.” Mu Lan said with a bright smile. ”How protective! Just like my husband!”
Han Luo wanted to smack her face. She grabbed his arm and quickly told Mu Lan, ”I'm very sorry about my big brother's behavior. I hope you give birth to healthy twins. I will pray for your happiness. Please excuse us.”
Then she dragged Mo Yuan out of that room. They went to a quiet spot and finally, Han Luo let go of him. She turned around and faced him. The words 'dissatisfaction' was written all over her face.
She scolded Mo Yuan, ”How can you talk to her like that? She is the sponsor and she is pregnant! If anything happens to her, we will both be kicked out before we could unleash our talents!”
Mo Yuan saw her anger. After she stopped talking, he calmly came closer and cupped her face. ”As long as I'm alive, I won't let anything harm you. I promise.”
