CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

382 Will Mo Roulan Go With He Jian?

After Mo Roulan came back from He Jian's office, she could hardly concentrate on anything. Whenever she would try, her eyes would go to the yellow roses placed in that vase and she would start to wonder who exactly gave He Jian those flowers. Could it be Shen Yiling? She would wonder but then would smile bitterly as she would think that if it was really Shen Youlin then He Jian would not have thrown away these flowers like this. Amidst her thoughts, Mo Roulan suddenly realized that she should not be thinking about all this. In fact, she should not be so curious to know the answer to the question that who gave these flowers to He Jian in the first place.

Angry at herself, she picked those files that she had already read twice and started to read them again. But again it proved to be very difficult to concentrate on anything. The rest of the time until the office hours ended passed just like this. However by the ending hour, Mo Roulan had finally found something that could help her in keeping her mind busy. She started to research the fashion designing companies and she didn't even get to know when the people who were sitting in the same room started to leave. Now Mo Roulan was sitting inside her room alone but she was so lost in reading whatever her laptop screen was showing her that she never noticed this fact. Her eyes were filled with brightness as she read about those famous fashion designers. She also wished to be there one day...amongst one of them. "Sit a little far away."

Mo Roulan flinched when she heard the cold voice in the silent room suddenly. She hurriedly shut down the laptop as if she was watching or reading something that someone else should not know about and then she swiftly turned around to look at the owner of that cold voice. "What are..."

Mo Roulan immediately nodded her head. Everything about yesterday's scolding and afternoon's flowers seemed to be forgotten by her as at this moment, she was busier trying to hide what exactly she was reading on the laptop during office hours instead of working. Fortunately, He Jian didn't ask anything else and said in his usual emotionless voice that was a little gentle because of Mo Roulan. "Let's go. We need to leave for He Mansion."

The sheepish smile from Mo Roulan's lips was immediately wiped away. She remembered that tonight she was supposed to go to He Mansion for dinner with He family but she didn't want to go. And even if she needed to go, she wouldn't go by He Jian's car. Mo Roulan's clenched her fists as she gathered her courage and looked at He Jian's cold face before saying "Mr. He, I won't trouble you. I will go by bus."

Mo Roulan's throat went dry when she saw He Jian's blue eyes getting cold and then suddenly a smile on his lips. Though he was smiling, she could see that he didn't look amused at all. She swallowed. It was easy yesterday because she had left the He Corporation silently. She didn't have to say anything to He Jian face to face. At the dining table also, there was Shen Youlin with her who managed everything well ...at least now that was what she thought. However now she had to say it directly to He Jian and she could feel her courage diminishing facing his cold blue eyes. Was it fear? Mo Roulan wondered as she tried to avoid looking into those blue eyes. She didn't know or perhaps a part of her heart actually knew but she refused to recognize it. She still felt very weak in front of him. Those blue eyes were still able to control her very nicely. That beautiful face ...especially those beautiful lips ...if he said anything to her then she would feel forced to do so. It had become a habit of hers, something she no longer wished to have. Mo Roulan came out of her trance when she heard He Jian asking her. "And how will you go there even if you wish to go by bus? Do you know where it is?"

He Jian asked Mo Roulan with an amusement filled smile playing on his lips and Mo Roulan's mind went blank for a moment.
