CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Shen Youlin had been very curious to know why Shen Zhilan had called her to Shen Mansion. The curiousness only increased when she got to know that when she was in the rehab center, Shen Weisheng had been invited before too and it was just to ask him where she was as Shen Zhilan and Shen Yiling didn't know this.

Now sitting at the dining table, Shen Youlin finally knew what they actually wanted from her. 

"Call your friend, Mo Roulan to Shen Mansion for the dinner."

Shen Youlin stared at her so-called Mother blankly after hearing her order. A moment later, she lowered her head and picked her knife to slice the beef placed on her plate. Using the fork, she put it inside her mouth and ate it with relish.

Regardless of how the people of Shen family were, Shen Youlin would never disagree with anyone if they said that they had one of the best cooks in City H.

Shen Zhilan frowned… feeling very humiliated seeing how Shen Youlin ignored her words just now. Shen Yiling smirked.

Did Shen Youlin even know that she was just lowering her value more down by her actions?

However, what she didn't know was that Shen Youlin didn't care any longer. 

"Youlin"

Shen Yiling called out in a gentle voice that was fake like always.

Shen Youlin frowned because of being interrupted when she was savoring the food. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at Shen Yiling with raised eyebrows.

Shen Yiling felt that Shen Youlin was doing it intentionally. It was impossible that she didn't hear what their mother said. 

Thinking this, she also didn't want to say anything now but since she had called Shen Youlin, she had to say something now so she opened her mouth to say something.

"Mom just…"

However, before she could even complete her words, Shen Yilinng interrupted and looked at Shen Zhilan with a look of realization as she said

"Oh…did you just say something?"

Shen Zhilan lips were pressed in a thin line. It was obvious that she was not liking at all how Shen Youlin was behaving.

"Actually, the food is too tasty. Sorry, Mom. I forgot what you said just now."

Shen Youlin said with a smile on her lips.

"Indeed, the food is delicious."

Shen Weisheng supported his sister as he picked another slice with the fork and put it inside his mouth. Shen Zhilan looked at the duo silently. She was very tempted to scold Shen Youlin.

Shen Weisheng had never behaved like this with him. It was obvious that he was doing all this under her effect. 

But her eyes caught her father's eyes that were filled with warning. Shen Zhilan knew that her father didn't want her to say anything that could anger Shen Weisheng and she didn't understand why he was behaving like that. 

However, she suppressed her anger and still repeated her words.

"Call that Mo Roulan to Shen Mansion for the dinner."

"Why?"

Shen Youlin asked almost immediately. Her voice was a little colder and sharper.

Shen Weisheng glanced sideways to look at his sister. She was so caring and defensive whenever the matter was related to Mo Roulan. 

He had actually noticed very long ago. However, now he could feel that it was more than something he had noticed before.   

He remembered the truth about Shen Youlin's sexuality and suddenly doubted something.

Could it be that Shen Youlin …

The question made Shen Weisheng's whole body stiff?

If it was true then He Jian…Shen Weisheng didn't know what he should feel.

He put aside this matter and put a full stop to his thoughts forcefully.

He, instead, focused on the present events.

"I want to apologize to her for what I did by mistake."

Shen Zhilan said with a blank face. This was what she had to choose as an excuse. Her elder daughter had told her that Shen Youlin might not agree to bring Mo Roulan to Shen Mansion until they won't give some valid excuse and seeing Shen Youlin's behavior she couldn't agree more.

On the other hand, Shen Youlin thought that she would have perhaps spurted out the food inside her mouth if she had not swallowed it down already.

A scoff still escaped her mouth and then loud laughter that she was trying to muffle.

"Haha…"

Her melodious laughter ran throughout the huge dining room. However, no one in the dining room seemed to like it…especially Shen Zhilan who was staring at Shen Youlin coldly.

Shen Weisheng though smiled but put his hand around Shen Youlin's shoulder and said gently.

"You will fall down if you continued like this."

Shen Youlin covered her mouth and nodded her head while she still continued to laugh. She would indeed fall down from the chair if she continued to laugh like this.

She had to breathe deeply quite a few times to stop herself to burst out in the fit of laughter again. A moment later, she finally looked at Shen Zhilan and everyone else as she said

"Sorry…I just remembered a joke."

It was an excuse …a very poor excuse and everyone on the dining table could see that Shen Youlin was lying.     

Shen Zhilan was very furious and this time she couldn't really control her anger and said sharply.

"Behave yourself. I am yet to punish you for your actions that could have lowered down our reputation in the whole City H."

The smile from Shen Youlin's lips vanished and her eyes looked very calm but indifferent.

Was that how a mother was supposed to behave when her daughter had just returned from a place she didn't even know about?

Since the moment, she had entered Shen Mansion, Shen Zhilan didn't even ask her once how she had been living until now. 

Not a single word that could express her motherly love for her was spoken from her side.

"What kind of punishment do you want to give me, Mom?"

Shen Youlin asked her mother calmly and Shen Zhilan spoke almost immediately.

"The shares of Shen Enterprises that you have on your name …give it to Yiling."

"This is your punishment."
