CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chu Feng raised his head to look at his boss for the umpteenth time and lowered it again after a few moments when he found him standing in his previous position in front of the large glass window.

He sighed as he glanced at his watch to check the time.

It has been an hour since his boss has got the news of Miss Mo being arrested by the police. However, except asking him threateningly whether she is fine or not, his boss had not moved away from his place.

This time, his boss' behavior made Chu Feng worry more about him.

What if Miss Mo never called? Would his boss never go to the police station or send any help? wondered Chu Feng inside his heart.

Chu Feng remembered the beautiful and young girl full of self-respect standing in front of his boss as she had told him to not interfere in her matters. He had also heard from Fang Zhihan how she had called his boss' help a charity and directly warned him to stay out of her problem unless he wants her to move away from City H. 

As Chu Feng thought about all this, he couldn't help but believe more firmly that the call they no…his boss was waiting for might really never come. 

He still had not told his boss how the young boy from Cheng family was pulling all his strings in order to free Miss Mo.

Although he had done his work …what if that Cheng boy got successful and if the call really didn't come…

He wondered what would happen if it really didn't come.

Chu Feng didn't know that at this moment, his boss', that is, He Jian's thoughts were no different than him.

The man who had always got what he had wanted with the flick of his fingers had never waited for someone so patiently in his whole life.

However, as time passed by, He Jian suddenly started to regret his actions.

He couldn't help but imagine Mo Roulan being locked inside a dark cell again and again.

She was just a young girl. Although he had never seen her afraid, he couldn't help but worry that she would get afraid of the darkness of the prison cell.

That girl…she was very stubborn.

What if in trying to ease her stubbornness he destroyed her preciousness?

His fingers around the phone in his hand clenched and unclenched again and again as the wheels of his mind and heart turned faster and faster.

He says that he wants to protect her but instead of doing that he was just using her problem as an opportunity for himself…just because he wants her to accept that she wants him to protect her.

He Jian suddenly felt like a worthless bastard.

He turned around abruptly and walked towards the door of the meeting room in long strides.

Startled by his actions, Chu Feng called out as he followed him

"Boss"

However, He Jian didn't answer him.

Because when he was about to step out of the meeting room, he felt the phone in his hand vibrating.

A trace of expectation and hope flashed in He Jian's blue eyes and he swallowed in anticipation before he looked down at his phone.

It was an unknown number.

He never picks unknown numbers but at this moment, He Jian didn't hesitate to do so.

"Hello"

Chu Feng who was about to say something shut his mouth when he heard his boss' voice.

'Was it excitement that he heard in his boss's voice?' thought Chu Feng as he looked at his boss with shocked eyes?

"Hello"

He Jian breathed sharply as soon as the voice from the other side fell in his ears.

There was silence from both sides for a few moments. He Jian licked his lips contemplating whether he should say something or he should wait for the other person to speak.

In the end, he finally heard the voice he had wanted to hear from so long again. 

"Mr. He, I am Mo Roulan." 

On the other side of the phone, Mo Roulan stared at the wall as she introduced herself to the man who she had never wanted to see in her present life again.

But life had always shown her unexpected surprises.

That day, in the hospital, she had decided that she would never blame He Jian for whatever happened with her in her past life because she held herself solely responsible for all of her stupid decisions.

However, having He Jian's back in her life like this was never a part of her decision but today she was doing this also. 

"Hmm"

She heard a hum from another side.

Hearing the short and uninterested answer, Mo Roulan thought that He Jian must be working on something important or he must be attending some meeting so she should also hurry in order to not waste the precious time of Young Master He.

"Mr. He, I…I.."

However, when she opened her mouth, she just couldn't let her words out.

It was so easy.

I am at the police station. They have arrested me after seeing some false evidence. Please come and help me.

Short, direct and precise.

However, she just couldn't say anything except a single 'I'.

Mo Roulan closed her mouth and breathed deeply to try again. However even before she opened her mouth again, she heard the deep and familiar voice from the other side of the phone.

"You need me."

The words formed more like a statement than a question.

Her fingers holding the phone trembled for a moment because of the deepness of the voice. The words seemed to have implied something very different but Mo Roulan dismissed it.

She even dismissed the slight trembling of her body by comforting herself with the fact that it was just the wind from the window for the prison cell that made her shiver.

To divert her mind, she just said whatever came out of her mouth.

"Yes"

Her voice was unconsciously breathless as if she seemed to have given up on something.

"I need you."

Mo Roulan knew the meaning her words held.

In her past life, she had given the power of controlling her whole life to He Jian when she had said these words to him.

Somehow the remembrance of her past life made her feel somewhat emotional and she wished to end this talk as soon as possible.

"Mr. He, please send someone to my house. The police…they have sent a few policemen to check my house. Please stop them. I will be very grateful to you if you can help me hide all this from my family."

"Sure"

Just one word was heard from the other side but Mo Roulan didn't mind. Even this single word was enough to confirm that what she wanted would be done without any difficulty.

This much trust she had in He Jian.

So she hung up the phone without saying anything else.

Setting down the phone on the table, Mo Roulan leaned against the chair she was sitting on as if she had just lost all of her strength.

"Miss Mo surely knows how to hide but what is the need to hide from me. I already knew that Miss Mo knows Young Master He…just that I was unknown that Miss Mo knows Young Master He so well that she even remembers his personal number."

Mo Roulan sighed with her eyes closed as she pressed down her temples.

She didn't say anything in response to Inspector Meng's words.

She had actually used her own phone if only the battery of her phone had not died. Inspector Meng gave her the phone and even told her He Jian's assistant number.

However, Mo Roulan didn't have enough time to call He Jian's assistant first and then wait for He Jian to answer her call. So she called on his personal number directly.

She remembered it from her previous life but she can't tell this Inspector Meng. 

Mo Roulan opened her eyes slowly. From the small window, the half-moon glittering in the sky fell in her sight.

She pondered whether the decision she had taken just now was right or wrong but the next moment she thought that she was just thinking about nothing now.

Everything has been done already.

She can only wait at the same place …wait for the help to arrive for her…wait for more familiar and unfamiliar changes in her life.

Because nothing would remain the same after today.

She knew it.

On the other hand, Chu Feng faced his boss who suddenly seemed to be very gentle…at least this was gentleness for him.

"You go and stop them from entering Lanlan house."

"Yes, Boss."

He Jian nodded his head in satisfaction and said again.

"You will get a bonus in your next month's salary."

"Thank you boss."

He Jian just grunted in acknowledgment as he stepped out of the elevator as soon as the doors opened.

Then without wasting a second, he ran towards the black car outside which the driver was already waiting for him.

As soon as he was seated inside, the driver shut the door of the car and hurriedly sat on the driver seat.

Soon the car drove away from the He Corporation.
