CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

376 Who Will Mo Roulan Go With?

The next morning, Mo Roulan was surprised when she didn't receive a single text from Shen Youlin. It has been one whole night since she had talked to Shen Youlin but she felt as if a long time had passed. Mo Roulan smiled. Shen Youlin had made her so habitua of herself that now she couldn't even imagine her life without that girl.

Even her room had that girl's traces. Mo Roulan smiled as she noticed her study table filled with Shen Youlin's books. Since Shen Youlin left in a hurry last night, she didn't take her bag with her. Only Mo Roulan thought so but Shen Youlin did it intentionally. She did it because she wanted to have some reasonable reason to come to Mo Family's apartment and then pick Mo Roulan. Mo Roulan sighed as she put the important books in Shen Youlin's bag. At the same time, her phone beeped and she smiled again when she looked at the screen. It was Shen Youlin. The girl finally texted her. 'Roulannnn, Good morning. I will come to pick you and then drop you at He Corporation. Don't go with anyone else.'

The text said. Mo Roulan shook her head as she put down the phone on the bed again. A small frown marred her forehead as she took her clothes to have a bath. She actually didn't wish to go with Shen Youlin or with He Jian. She would feel more comfortable if she went by bus but how could she make Shen Youlin understand this. Mo Roulan sighed for the third time as she imagined Shen Youlin's pout and sad expression as she told her her wish to go by the bus instead. When Mo Roulan stepped out of her room after getting ready, she was not surprised to hear Shen Youlin's voice from the dining room. When Mo Roulan stepped inside the dining room, she froze seeing He Jian sitting inside. Though Mo Roulan knew that whatever she did was right yesterday, though she knew that she didn't do anything wrong by leaving the office before He Jian, she didn't know why she would always feel guilty whenever she would see after last evening. Just like right now. Composing the expression on her face, Mo Roulan decided to maintain her calm and act as if that thing never happened. She could feel He Jian's gaze following her as she stepped forward but she never looked towards him and behaved as if he never existed. Mo Roulan felt that it was easier to live in He Jian's presence by doing this. How could He Jian not see what she was trying to do!

His lips had a small smile but his blue eyes didn't have any amusement. Instead, there was a little coldness in them. Inside her heart, he couldn't help but find Mo Rouan a little merciless at this moment. Last night, he went against his own friend and threatened him for her and here she was ignoring his mere existence in this room.

How could he let this happen!

If Mo Roualan was thinking that he will let it happen, then she was very very wrong. He was in the process of stealing her heart and forcefully invading it without her being known to it and for that, He Jian knew that he needed to make her aware of his presence. Every moment, he was there, beside her.

"Lanlan"

He called out so gently that Mo Roulan's hand holding the fork with which she was about to put the food inside her mouth, trembled terribly. She swallowed when she raised her head and saw the smile on He Jian's lips. There was nothing wrong with that smile. Mo Rouan tried to comfort herself but she still couldn't help but feel that there was something strange about that smile. A kind of smile that was to lure a prey in a trap…

Mo Roulan shook her head vigorously to put a full stop on her thoughts as soon as she thought this.

Even Lin Qianru could sense that there was something wrong but she also knew that her daughter 15:52

would not tell her anything if she asked her. What the hell she was thinking!

Who was prey…what kind of trap!

Mo Roulan felt grateful that He Jian spoke again and it kind of diverted her attention from her thoughts. However, when she registered his question, she couldn't help but freeze again. "Who are you going with to He Corporation today?"

Mo Roulan's hand that was placed in her lap clenched tightly because of the nervousness. But a moment later, she suddenly wondered why she was feeling so scared.

She was not supposed to feel so. So straightening her spine, she answered with the confidence she had gathered with so much difficulty. "I will be going by the bus."

He Jian raised his eyebrows in surprise and nodded his head silently. The smile was no longer on his lips as he lowered his head and said "Alright!"

Then he continued to have his lunch. On the other hand, Shen Youlin who was seated beside Mo Roulan turned to look at her with confusion filled eyes. "Roulan…"

She had just spoken this word when she suddenly felt Mo Roulan holding her hand under the table. Mo Roulan pleaded to Shen Youlin silently and Shen Youlin could only nod her head after seeing her expression. However, her face didn't look that good. The breakfast also ended in a kind of awkward silence. Even Lin Qianru could sense that there was something wrong but she also knew that her daughter would not tell her anything if she asked her. So she thought it was better if she would ask He Jian about this matter later on. A few moments later, when Mo Roulan stood up from her seat after finishing her breakfast with Shen Youlin, Lin Qianru reminded her.

"Roulan, will you be coming late today?"

Mo Roulan frowned in confusion. "Why, Mom?"

Lin Qianru looked at her daughter and she only thought that her daughter had forgotten but she didn't even know that Mo Roulan never knew about this arrangement. "Are you not going to He Mansion today for dinner?"

Mo Roulan's eyes immediately went wide and she said quite loudly.

"What?"

And the dining room of Mo family's apartment went deathly silent.
