“When did you learn to speak Cantonese? You do have a gift for languages! Here are some wet wipes. Go to the washroom and wipe it off.” Long Xi teased him with a smile.

Lord Mo Kun went to the washroom. When he looked into the mirror and saw Long Xi's work, he couldn't help laughing.

As long as it made her laugh, it was okay.

It was around six o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Paris.

They left the airport by taxi. Lord Mo Kun told the driver their destination in fluent French. The taxi travelled in the night and arrived at the Charolando Hotel. They had made their reservation in advance online.

In the dim light, the hotel building was shrouded in an orange light, which made them feel warm in this strange foreign city.

The hotel wasn't large. It was a cozy, quiet, unique place with high-quality service and fine food at cheaper prices, unlike the five-star business hotels in downtown Paris.

There were only about twenty rooms, each with its unique style.

They had already booked a Chinese style double-bed room.

Long Xi was pleased. There was a bed with flower patterns carved on it that imitated the Qing dynasty and a mural of Chinese ladies in ancient times. “What a beautiful room! It would be a waste if we didn't make full use of it?” Long Xi joked.

“What do you mean by saying 'make full use of it'?” Mo Kun asked her intentionally. “You know, I have no sleeping problems. I can have a good sleep anywhere, anytime. However, you didn't sleep at all on the plane. I'm afraid you are too tired for any extra fun…”

Long Xi flushed and said, “I was joking.” Like most lovey-dovey lovers, she found Mo Kun as alluring as the forbidden fruit ever since she had tasted him.

That was it, Lord Mo Kun and Long Xi were going to sleep.

Although Long Xi had a hot bath and went to bed, she kept tossing and turning.

She couldn't sleep because of jet lag. Besides, she was still thinking about having some “extra fun” with Lord Mo Kun.

Unfortunately, Lord Mo Kun had already fallen asleep beside her.

She got up and went to the balcony to enjoy the night view of Paris in a rocking chair.

She found some wine in the refrigerator and drank some before she pa.s.sed off.

The next day, she slept well until she woke up naturally to discover that Lord Mo Kun had ordered French breakfast for the two of them.

Then, they went to the Louvre and saw world-famous works of art.

Afterward, they went to a Michelin one-star restaurant to have a French meal.

In front of the restaurant was a row of flouris.h.i.+ng sunflowers. Two fish ponds were embedded in the two walls. The colorful tropical fish were not afraid of people. They remained cool, even when Long Xi put her hand against the tank's wall.

Lord Mo Kun let Long Xi order the dishes and she accepted the offer delightedly.

She ordered baked snails, French fig foie gras, fried scallops with foie gras sauce, roasted lamb steak with black pepper sauce, medium-cooked eye steak with garlic, southern French-style apple pie, French seafood cream soup with puff pastries, French onion soup, cheese-flavored macarons…

“What about the steak? I don't think it is well-cooked,” said Mo Kun.

No one knew more about food than Long Xi. “Medium-cooked naked eye steak tastes the best! The surface of the meat has been fried evenly. When you cut it with the knife, you will find that 50% of the meat is pink. It tastes juicy when seasoning permeates it. Naked eye steak contains a small amount of fat, which provides wonderful beef juice. The longer you fry it, the harder the meat becomes and it does not taste good anymore.”

Ten minutes later, the waiter served the steak. It was beautifully cooked. The steak and the cabbage were well-cut, neither too thick nor too thin.

The shredded cabbage on the steak looked like a meadow on a hillside.

Several tomatoes had been cut and placed like two little “bunnies” standing on the shredded cabbage.

This way, it looked like two little “bunnies” were playing on the meadow.

The chef had also placed a peony flower made of turnip beside the steak. This added a bit of the features of country Z to the dish, making it look good.

Long Xi cut the beef steak, drizzled it with garlic sauce and shared it with Lord Mo Kun.

Mo Kun couldn't stop after one bite. They ate the whole plate of steak.

“Let's try some other local delicacies,” Mo Kun said while expecting the next dish.

The next dish was French baked snails, cooked by a Michelin one-star chef. It was a very attractive dish.

Long Xi had also ordered French foie gras.

She explained to Mo Kun, “Authentic French foie gras is one of the top three delicacies in the world. In French, it's 'foie gras saute'. Foie gras is best served in a sauce cooked with liqueur or with dried figs. I ordered foie gras with dried figs. The foie gras flavor goes well with the figs' flavor, which gives it a unique taste.”

When the foie gras was served, Long Xi cut off a small piece and fed it to Mo Kun.

Mo Kun felt the foie gras melt in his mouth like cheese, as if it was spreading from his tongue to his whole body. The experience felt like taking a comfortable bubble bath in a warm tub.

In the afternoon, they took a walk on Champs Elysees and then headed to the Lido Evening Show in the evening.

The Lido Show, which was one of the top three shows in Paris, was equal to the Moulin Rouge Show.

However, the Moulin Rouge was more popular among people from Z Country, because of Nicole Kidman's famous movie.

People in France said, “Without Lido, there is no nightlife in Paris.”

Thanks to its unique visual impact, luxurious dance effects and s.e.xy dancing girls, the Lido Show attracted 450,000 people every year, including superstars like Elton John and Arnold Schwarzenegger, as well as Princess Diana, Mrs. Thatcher and other famous people.

After 100 years of development, the Lido Show had formed its own style.

The performers had to be in good shape. The actresses were over 1.78 meters tall. Visually, they were over 2 meters tall, as they were wearing 10-centimeter heels and a 20-centimeter headdress that weighed 10 kilos. The actors were no less than 1.83 meters tall.

In addition to their height, they had to be professional dancers.

The Lido was famous for its luxury. Most of the guests came in formal wear.

“Are we dressed too casually?” Lord Mo Kun asked Long Xi.

“It's okay, just suit yourself,” she answered.

The night show started.

The two watched the wonderful show while drinking colorful c.o.c.ktails.

During the magic show, a magician dressed as a clown played poker. He wanted to invite two people from the audience for an interactive act. Many people were eager to try and raised their hands.

Mo Kun and Long Xi were lucky enough to be chosen. They walked to the stage hand in hand.

“Are you two a couple?” the magician asked as he looked at them.

The two of them looked at each other. Long Xi shook her head, while Mo Kun nodded.

Then, they pretended to be a little surprised at each other's reaction.

The magician smiled and asked again, “Yes or no?”

This time, Long Xi nodded, while Mo Kun shook his head.

Their awkwardness made the crowd laugh out loud.

Two kitty girls pushed out a stainless steel shelf that was about one meter high. There was a large brown heart-shaped box on it. The box, which was made of wood, was about one meter tall. The two girls opened the box. Inside, it was empty and painted white.

The magician asked Mo Kun and Long Xi to enter the box. Long Xi smiled and told Mo Kun, “After you.”

“Ladies first,” Mo Kun replied.

He helped Long Xi climb into the box by using a ladder. Then, he went in himself. The two squatted face to face.

The magician suggested that they hug each other.

The audience laughed again.

They followed the instruction and hugged each other.

The two kitty girls put on the lid and tied a bow on the box with red ribbon.

The magician seized one end of the box and pushed it hard. The box span in circles quickly. The connection between the box and the stainless steel bracket was a custom design. The box span twice and then slowly stopped.

The two girls untied the ribbon and opened the box. Long Xi stood up and waved at the audience, but Mo Kun had disappeared.

Where was Mo Kun? The magician put on a puzzled expression. Long Xi shrugged, showing the audience that she didn't know. Then, she pretended to cry. The audience laughed.

“Let's find this lovely girl her boyfriend. Is he hidden among you?” the magician asked the audience.

Just as the audience started searching around, the magician suddenly pointed at the door, which opened. Mo Kun ran in with a bouquet of champagne roses. The audience gave its warmest applause.

Mo Kun walked on the stage, knelt down on one knee, and gave her the roses. Long Xi smiled and accepted the flowers.

They thanked the audience and then left.

They also received two small gifts from Lido for their cooperation.
