Chapter 159 - HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Han Luo was feeling tired. She had been having fun with everyone the whole night. Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, Noah, and Ma Rui prepared a new year party and they enjoyed the whole night eating, singing, dancing, watching fireworks, and watching a movie.
The whole city was awake. It was colorful, exciting, and full of life. People were on the road, celebrating the new year.
"I'm beat," she mumbled and yawned. She looked around. Everyone fell asleep. Ma Rui and Mo Zhen went to their room. Only Han Sheng Ming, Tang Yujin, and Noah were here, sleeping soundly.
'Where is big brother Yuan?' She walked out and went to his room. However, after a few knocks, she realized that he wasn't inside. 'Could it be, he is on the rooftop?' thinking that, she hurriedly went to the elevator and it took her to the highest floor.
She turned the doorknob and opened the door. Just as she thought, he was sitting on the rooftop alone.
Everyone was sleeping after the party; that's why the city of light was sleeping. It was quiet. It wasn't snowing for three days and so, the rooftop was cleaned up before the new year.
Han Luo hesitantly walked closer and said, "Big brother Yuan, I was looking everywhere for you." He didn't talk to her properly after coming back from the Mu Mansion. She was afraid to get too close to him.
Mo Yuan turned around and saw her. He gently called her. "Ah Luo, come here."
She finally got the courage to stand beside him. He took her arm and let her sit on his lap. After that, he circled his arms around her and she comfortably leaned on his chest.
They silently looked at the eastern sky. The dark sky had been finally dyed in a pink, purple hue. Slowly but surely, the sun lazily rose in the sky with its yellow light. The yellow sun greeted the city of light. The sunlight fell upon Paris and blessed her with peace and everlasting joy.
"It's beautiful," Han Luo said softly. She didn't want to speak aloud thinking it might ruin the beautiful serene atmosphere.
"It is," Mo Yuan's eyes were on her as he mumbled. The sunlight fell on her small, white face. Her face glowed.
She was happy that she could see the sunrise with her big brother Yuan. She held his arms which were around her and looked at the sun.
Han Luo turned her head and looked at him. His hair was disheveled. She reached out and moved his hair from his face. She suddenly called him, "Big brother Yuan."
Mo Yuan hummed, "Mmm."
"Happy new year," she stared at him in the eyes and smiled sweetly.
Mo Yuan's heart shook thinking he wouldn't be able to see her smile from this close for two years. He forced a smile and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Happy new year, Ah Luo." He leaned forward and kissed her forehead. His cold lips touched her cold forehead. However, they still felt each other's skin.
Both of them subconsciously wished they could spend time with each other like this in every new year.

"Luo, hurry up or you will miss the plane!" A girl screamed as she ran with her luggage.
"I'm coming!" Han Luo screamed as well. She pulled her luggage.
At the airport, their youthful voice echoed. After getting the boarding pass, they finally went inside the plane. They found their seats and sat down and then deeply exhaled.
The girl beside Han Luo said, "I thought that we are going to miss today's flight."
Han Luo blamed it all on her. "It was your fault. Who told you to join others at the party? Even if you did, you should have come back early."
The girl flipped her hands. "How can I refuse them? It's our farewell party. You should have gone there with me."
"Then we would definitely miss this flight. I want to go back to everyone as soon as possible," Han Luo looked outside the window. The plane soon took off and they buckled their seat belts.
"Aren't you too eager to see them?" the girl beside her frowned.
"It has been two years since I last saw them face to face. I miss them," Han Luo quietly said. Her eyes were on the white clouds.
For two years, she stayed in Paris. She studied in a well-known private school as well as worked under the Mu Corporation. Though the contract said that she had to do everything on her own, she wasn't alone.
She lived in an apartment with a girl named Zheng Mian. Zheng Mian is Zheng Yan Su's paternal cousin. She was two years older than Han Luo and she guided her young roommate.
Zheng Mian is the youngest daughter of her businessman father. Although she is rich, she has a down to earth personality and she is knowledgeable. Han Luo learned how to cook, sew, and manage time and money from her.
Zheng Mian once proudly told her, "My father is a businessman. He values time and money the most. When I was young she taught me how to manage time and money."
Han Luo was happy that she met a girl like her. However, she couldn't help but slightly envy Zheng Mian who had a family to teach her and educate her. Other than that, she thought of her as a good friend.
Unknown to her, Mu Liang personally chose Zheng Mian and Mu Lan personally instructed her to take care of Han Luo. Despite acting cold, Mu Liang wasn't ruthless to a harmless child.
He even let Assistant Ju Long take care of her admission. Assistant Ju Long also introduced her to the company.
The Mu Corporation entered the entertainment industry a while ago. Han Luo has become an international dancer and she has worked with many dancers for many shows. Not only that, in her free time she also became a model.. Though it wasn't part of the contract, since she wanted to become a model and earn some extra money, President Mu Liang didn't object to it.
