CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Three hours had passed already. The car moved on the road passing the other cars very carefully. Inside the car, nothing could be heard except silence.

Mo Roulan didn't say anything after that. She just wanted to ignore the fact that a man whom she wanted to ignore for the rest of her life was sitting by her side currently.

She was sitting inside his car at this moment; she wanted to forget this.

She really wanted to get out of the car but after He Jian said that he was passing by Wenhua town; she could not find any way out.

Wouldn't she appear a fool if she still tried to get out of his car when he was telling her that he would drop her there?

Or perhaps, because she had felt something like a threat in He Jian's words that he would tell her mother whatever she had hidden. So she could only obediently continue to sit inside his car and look out of the window with a sulking face.

The man was just as dangerous as she had predicted.

Being a neighbor now, he knew everything about her and could threaten her easily with that.

She had always been right to stay away from him.

However, somewhere in the corner of her heart, there was this pinching feeling always questioning her.

Couldn't she notice the change in He Jian or she was deliberately trying to ignore it?

But Mo Roulan would press down those questions mercilessly because she was scared. She was scared that if she indulged her feelings, many more things that she still wasn't ready for would raise their heads in her life.

Mo Roulan thought that nothing would happen as long as she could stop it; however, fate always had a different plan from her expectation.

The silence inside the car was finally broken by a phone call.

He Jian picked his phone.

Mo Roulan didn't know what the other side said but He Jian's face became cold and indifferent to the one she was used to seeing in her past life.

"Being my assistant, If you can't even manage small things like this you are very welcome to leave your job. I don't have any problem in finding another assistant."

He spat out these words and then hung up the call without caring what the other side wanted to say.

While Chu Feng, inside the meeting room, looked at the fair and foreign faces staring at his own face.

The room was full of people ready for the meeting but his boss suddenly does not want to attend the meeting.

What was he supposed to do?

He can't offend his boss. He can't offend these people else the company would lose a big deal.

"Assistant Chu, When will Mr. He come? It's already time to start the meeting."

Under the eyes of everyone, Chu Feng opened his mouth and told everyone whatever came to his mind.

----------

Mo Roulan eyes were back to the window looking outside at the passing trees but her mind was somewhere else.

Being with He Jian, she really can't take off her mind from her past, Mo Roulan thought.

Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice He Jian also looking outside the window. His eyes flickered with something and then he glanced at his driver with a meaningful gaze.

A few moments later, the car stopped suddenly.

Mo Roulan came out of her thoughts.

"Boss, I'll go and take a look."

The driver said and got out of the car.

A while later, someone knocked the car window by He Jian's side. He lowered it and Mo Roulan saw that the driver was standing outside.

"Boss, the tire needs to be changed. It will take some time."

"Change it."

The driver was silent for a few moments and then said

"Boss, the car is in the middle of the road. I need to park it on the side. Only then the tire can be changed."

He Jian nodded his head and then turned to look at Mo Roulan.

"Miss Mo, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. We will have to step out of the car for a while."

Mo Roulan didn't have any problem and just stepped out of the car mumbling a small 'no problem.'

Behind her, He Jian looked back at the driver.

"Don't come until I ask you."

"Yes, Boss."

Getting out of the car, He Jian saw the dumb look on Mo Roulan's face as she looked around and his eyes were filled with smiles.

He walked towards her and said

"Has Miss Mo come here before?"

Mo Roulan was startled by his presence. Hearing his question only sped up her heartbeat and she answered a little too quickly.

"No."

There was a flash of confusion in He Jian's eyes as he noticed her nervousness.

He turned to stand beside her and stared at the vast mountains in front of himself.

Five years ago, he was abducted and brought here. 

In the past five years, how many times he had come to this place without telling his father. Just to keep her memories from that night.

He didn't want to forget that young girl who didn't think of anything to save his life.

He didn't want to forget her expressive eyes so he learned painting and painted her according to his memories.

For He Jian, this was his favorite place because here, he met Mo Roulan.

There was always an emptiness inside his heart after she suddenly disappeared.

He just wanted to find her. He wanted to assure his heart that she was doing well.

But when he found her he didn't feel satisfied.

What more did he want? He Jian asked himself.

Maybe he wants her to recognize him.

He wants to find out whether she remembered him as he remembered her.

He glanced at her and found her still staring at the mountain.

"I have come here, many times."

He said slowly.

"I know everything about here."

He said still looking at her.

"On the top of the hill, there is a shabby house."

Mo Roulan heard him silently.

"Miss Mo"

She turned her head to look at him.

"Your town, Wenhua is near this mountain."

She of course knew this. He Jian continued.

"There is a large ditch on the left side of the mountain and…."

Mo Roulan frowned at his words and said without thinking.

"No, the ditch is on the right side."

He Jian seemed to be thinking for a moment and then said

"Oh, I remembered just now what Miss Mo said is true. However,…"

He turned his face to look at her.

"…how does Miss Mo know this?"

He Jian raised his eyebrows and his lips held a smile as he stared at Mo Roulan.

His question made Mo Roulan's eyes wide.  Only then, she realized that she was so relaxed that she didn't even think before correcting him.
