Chapter 39 - VISITING FAMILY FARM


Han Luo felt guilt smother her chest. "Sorry… big brother… Yuan… I always… rely on others… I didn't… mean to… disturb you…"
"You shouldn't say that. We are children and we have to rely on our elders to survive." Mo Yuan tried to comfort her. "I'm older than you, so you can rely on me too." Saying that he averted his gaze. After a moment, when he looked at her, he saw her silently gazing at him. He controlled his expression and asked, "Why are you still looking at me? Close your eyes." He covered her eyes with his hand. Three minutes later, he took his hand off and saw her soundly asleep.

After her facial treatment, Ma Rui spoke to her husband and went out for shopping. That's when she came across news of a storm rampaging in the neighboring city. Upon hearing the city's name, she hurriedly drove back. The merciless rain was still impaling the ground. Ma Rui's heart almost dropped when thinking about the children she left at the house. 'Oh God, please keep them safe.'
She reached her house soon and hastily unlocked the door. Without hesitating, the mother dropped all her things at the entrance and searched for the two kids. "Xiao Yuan! Luo'er! Where are you?" Her voice shook as she climbed upstairs. Ma Rui went to Mo Yuan's room first but saw no one. Her heartbeat had begun to syncopate. After that, she opened the door of her room and paused. She was stunned to see them together in her room.
A sudden wave of relief made her legs lose strength. She sat down on the floor thanking the Almighty, glad that these two were all right. She went closer and saw a white, wet cloth on Han Luo's forehead. 'Does she have a fever? How come?' Ma Rui touched her little hand and noticed that her temperature was a bit high. 'Did she play in the storm? It could be because of staying in the sun too long yesterday. I shouldn't have let her do that.'
While pondering, her eyes landed on her son who dozed off while sitting on the chair. She smiled and affectionately rubbed his head. 'You did a good job taking care of her. I'm so proud of you.'
However, something sparked in her mind and she covered her mouth. 'Oh my God! My son took care of Luo'er. They are in the same bedroom – my son is so manly taking her to the bedroom. I wish I could capture that moment… oh, wait! I have to take some photos.' She dashed downstairs, grabbed her cell phone, and dashed back upstairs to capture some photos of them. 'My son, you are still immature. You should've taken this chance and slept on the bed with her!' She then questioned, 'Should I carry him to the bed and take some photos? That wouldn't be a bad idea…'
While thinking that, she tried to carry her son, but at that time, Mo Yuan opened his eyes. He looked at his mother sleepily and called out, "Mom?" He thought that he was dreaming.
Ma Rui sighed. 'Why did he have to wake up now?' She just missed a good opportunity. She asked, "Are you okay? I'm sorry that I'm late."
Mo Yuan finally woke up properly and replied, "Mom, Han Luo… she caught a fever."
"I know, I checked just now."
Mo Yuan looked down dejectedly. "Sorry, mom, I couldn't protect her-"
"What are you talking about? You took care of her even though you are a child. I didn't know you had that side of you, Xiao Yuan. You are very manly!" Ma Rui smirked goofily. She didn't miss the chance to tease her son.
Mo Yuan blushed and frowned. He quickly got off his mother's embrace and mumbled, "I'm tired. I'm going to my room."
Ma Rui spoke from behind, "Why? You are welcome to sleep here!"
'Mom, you are an idiot!' Mo Yuan thought.
Han Luo's fever didn't last long. Her temperature went down by the evening and she was feeling better. Ma Rui still took her to the hospital and the doctor gave her a vaccine.
The next day, Ma Rui took them to enjoy autumn festivals. She first took them to Sydney. Sydney Royal Easter Show is the cream of the crop in Australia's agricultural industry. They experienced the Animal Walk, and also visited the District Exhibits and the Food Farm; they didn't forget to join the Cooking with Kids activities. They spent the whole day there.
When they went to the parking lot, Mo Yuan realized that a man was standing beside their car. The man was handsome with a gorgeous face and an attractive body. 'Who…' Mo Yuan was too far to see who it was, so he strode closer, troubled by who would stand so close to the car; he gave into his natural protective instincts. Some girl walked past the man and checked him out, yet he didn't seem to care about them. All of a sudden, the man rushed towards the three of them.
"My darling! I missed you so much." The man buried his face on the crook of Ma Rui's neck while hugging her.
It was Mo Yuan's father – Mo Zhen – founder of the Mo Corporation. He was the CEO and the Chairman of his company.
"My baby, I missed you too." Ma Rui hugged him back emotionally. He did ask her about her schedule yesterday like he always did, but she didn't expect him to actually be here – he was always too busy with work.
Mo Zhen looked at his beautiful wife's face and smirked. "I missed your pretty face too. Let me taste you." Saying that he kissed her lips in the broad daylight, in front of everyone, in the presence of their son.
The moment the lips were about to lock, Mo Yuan covered Han Luo's eyes from behind and he also looked elsewhere. He heard his mother moaning softly. He closed his eyes while frowning and his face turned bright red.. The young boy was used to his parents' public display of affection, but he still had a hard time digesting it.
