CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

"Hello, dear. Your name is Mo Roulan, right?"

Xun Weilan asked Mo Roulan in a gentle voice.

The frown still lingered on Mo Roulan's forehead but she nodded her head reluctantly when she saw the gentle smile on the woman's lips.

She somehow didn't like it.

Her Aunt, Su Mian also used to have such a gentle smile on her lips. Since she was a widow with one child, her mother always tried to help her when she was alive even though both of them were in the same kind of situation.

Mo Roulan also didn't have a father.

However, after her mother's death when her last belonging …that diamond necklace was snatched by her aunt Wen Zuyan then she had gone and begged in front of Su Mian to help her …only to find out that Su Mian also had her share from the money Wen Zuyan got by selling that necklace.

And then Su Mian was also the person who suggested everyone else in Mo Family to send her and Mo Chen to the orphanage …the orphanage they were currently living in where they have to fight for food, clothes, and everything else that was necessary to live with other children. 

So she just disliked the woman wearing the gentle smile on her lips. Also, the woman had come to snatch her brother from her, so her dislike towards the woman was very natural.

Mo Roulan remained cold and indifferent despite the gentleness of the woman. Many children start to get tamed by a gentle woman …at least the sensible ones so perhaps Wen Zuyan was surprised when she saw that Mo Roulan still looked so cold and indifferent.

However, that surprise only remained for a moment. The next moment, she again maintained the gentle smile on her lips and sat on the chair placed beside Mo Roulan.

"You love your brother very much, right?"

She asked Mo Roulan gently and Mo Roulan immediately nodded her head vigorously.

Xun Weilan laughed gently and whispered

"I also like very much. He is so cute."

A smile unconsciously emerged on Mo Roulan's lips.

Her brother was cute, sensible and very lovely. After her mother's death, he was the only person who was the reason behind her will to continue living this life.

"But…"

Xun Weilan sighed sadly as she continued attracting Mo Roulan's attention completely with her actions.

"I am very sad that he had to live here … a place where he doesn't even get enough to eat, doesn't get good clothes to wear, doesn't get to study in a good school. He also told me that he likes to read books with images. You also must be sad seeing that your brother can't get all these things, right?"

Mo Roulan's lips were pressed in a thin line and her eyes unconsciously got teary. She remembered how last night the food she and Mo Chen were given was snatched by other children.

She had fought back …a lot and had successfully snatched the bread from those children. Although she got a few scratched here and there, she got some food for her brother and that was worth it. 

However, that bread was not enough for a seven-year-old boy who had not eaten for a whole day.   

However, that seven-year-old boy was so persistent in not showing his hunger that whenever Mo Roulan would ask him if he was hungry …he would innocently shake his head and say that he was not hungry. The last food that he perhaps doesn't even remember when he had eaten filled his stomach so much that he didn't feel hungry at all even now. 

Mo Roulan could live without food for a whole day, two days, or even three days without any complaints but seeing Mo Chen going through the same thing would fill her heart with so much pain and helplessness that many times she thought that death would be better than this kind of life.

However, what would happen to her brother if she died?

She was not brave enough to kill him with herself. She had promised her mother at the time of her death that she would take care of Mo Chen. 

So she had no way except continue living.

A tear slid out of her eyes as Mo Roulan remembered all this.

She didn't want to cry. She didn't want to show her weakness in front of her but Xun Weilan really caught her raw nerve.

Her Mo Chen…she didn't want him to starve like this.

Mo Roulan cried silently as she covered her face to hide her tears.

Xun Weilan didn't say anything. She just looked at the girl with a soft smile on her lips. Five minutes later, when Mo Roulan still didn't stop, she sighed and said

"You know …me and my husband, we are not that rich but we still live a very good life. Good enough to provide your brother three times of meal, good clothes, and pay for his studies in whichever school he will wish to study."

After a pause, Xun Weilan continued

"We have even done some tests on Mo Chen to stay rest assured that he is healthy. My husband has started a new company and if it went well and reached new heights then I assure you that it will be your brother who will get all that because My family doesn't have any child."

Mo Roulan had stopped crying by now and she was silent hearing Xun Weilan's words.

"Mo Chen will live very well with us. I will love him like a mother and my husband will be his father. We will take care of him as if we had birthed him."

Xun Weilan suddenly stood up from the chair and patted Mo Roulan's head.

"Think about it, Mo Roulan. Since you are the only relative of Mo Chen here, we need your permission to bring him with us. Think what is best for your brother and then take a decision."       

Saying these words, Xun Weilan left a dazed and teary-eyed Mo Roulan alone inside the room.
