CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Mo Roulan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

'It will be alright. You can do it.'

She said to herself inside her heart.

If she tried to put aside everything from her past life then she would be able to pass this night quite easily.

But it was easier sad that done.

Standing outside the closed door of Mr. and Mrs. Zhu's house, Mo Roulan suddenly wished to not have the memories of her past life.

It was very rare for her to wish for such a thing because Mo Roulan cherished her coming back to life again with her memories many times. After all, it saved her from taking many wrong decisions.

But sometimes the pain from the past life starts to seem heavier than anything else.

At that moment, she would wish to forget everything.

Mo Roulan glanced down at her brother who was standing beside her.   

She was holding his hand firmly and tightly as if she was afraid that someone would steal him away from her.

The fourteen years old girl inside her was still alive who didn't want to send her brother away but didn't have any other way. 

The door opened suddenly making Mo Roulan put a full stop to her thoughts

"Miss Lin, welcome to our house. I and My husband have been waiting for you for very long."

Mo Roulan saw Xun Weilan standing at the door in front of her mother with quite a bright and welcoming smile on her face.

She looked no different from the woman who had easily manipulated her inside that orphanage room into letting her and her husband adopt Mo Chen.

Mo Roulan's hold on Mo Chen's hand became firmer to the point that the young Mo Chen could not help but glance at his sister in confusion.

He could feel the sweat on his sister's palms.

"Jiejie ..."

He whispered softly making Mo Roulan look at him again.

"Are you feeling nervous?"

Mo Roulan looked confused but nonetheless nodded her head.

"I am also."

Little Mo Chen pouted as he looked at his sister. Mo Roulan heart almost leaped out from her chest for a moment. She suddenly felt as if Mo Chen was feeling nervous because of the same reasons as her.

However when Mo Chen continued she got to know that it was only her illusion. 

"After all, it is our first time to go to someone's house for a meal."

The childish words make Mo Roulan chuckle a little and she felt her uneasiness vanishing away.

As Xun Weilan invited her mother inside the house, she followed her mother while holding Mo Chen's hand.

"Why are you nervous because of this?"

She asked Mo Chen softly curious to know his reasons.

Mo Chen pouted and was silent for a moment before he said

"What if they didn't like us, Jiejie? These city people don't like us, countryside people."

The words made Mo Roulan halt amidst her steps for a moment and her face had a serious expression. She soon composed herself and started to walk again but her eyes were still on Mo Chen as she asked gently trying not to show her disturbing emotions.       

"Why does Mo Chen think that?"

Little Mo Chen looked at his sister and sighed lightly.

He was again silent for a few moments as they walked inside the living room of the apartment that looked no different than theirs.

Just when Mo Roulan had thought that he would not say anything, he spoke

"My Classmates also used to be like this."

This was something Mo Roulan never knew before. As she saw her mother and Xun Weilan lost in their own talks, she kneeled down on the ground in front of Mo Chen and pretended to fix his clothes.

"Why didn't you tell Jiejie anything about it?"

Mo Roulan's face didn't have any emotions making Mo Chen suddenly realize that his sister was getting angry at him. He hurriedly held her hand and tried to assure her like an adult.

"Jiejie …you worry too much. I said 'used to'. Now they are not like that. I soon showed everyone with my intelligence that I am no less than them." 

Seeing her brother's cute face as he tried to assure her gently, Mo Roulan found it a little funny.

She patted Mo Chen's head lightly and stood up from the ground.

She decided to talk to Mo Chen about this matter later. She doesn't want Mo Chen to hide things like this from her in the future.

It could be seen that although Mo Chen had managed this matter well in his class, it still had affected him and that's why he is scared of being ostracized by others just because they have come to the city from a small town.

The dinner started.

Throughout the whole dinner, Lin Qianru and Xun Weilan chatted while Mo Roulan remained silent. She only spoke a few sentences in between when her mother tried to bring the conversation on her.

She smiled tightly when Xun Weilan and her husband praised her for studying in such a good college and getting first place in the college entrance examination.

Mo Roulan was now starting to think that everything would pass easily like this. However, she was soon proved very wrong.

She was not eating much and her whole attention was on the conversation between Xun Weilan and her mother. 

It was then she heard the sound of footsteps and raised her head to look towards the door of the dining room.

A young boy around the same age as Mo Chen stepped inside the room.

He looked as if he has just woken up from his sleep.

Mo Roulan was confused when she saw the boy walking to Xun Weilan and hugging her from behind.

Xun Weilan smiled gently and rubbed the boy's head and said to her mother.

"Miss Lin…here meet my son. Ruru greet Miss Lin."

The boy looked at her mother and greeted her mother politely.

After that, Xun Weilan asked him to greet other people inside the room.

The boy's innocent eyes looked at Mo Roulan.

"Greeting Elder Sister." 

He said politely in his cute voice.

However, Mo Roulan's face was very pale as she looked at the boy as if she was looking at a ghost.

"Y…You"

She whispered lightly.

How could Xun Weilan and her husband have a son?
