CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

"Boss, I finally found something."

Sitting inside the car, He Jian's assistant held the phone as the man on the other side spoke. His excitement was clear from his voice. The phone was put on the speaker. He Jian could hear him but he didn't say anything.

No answer came from the other side but the man was already used to this. He didn't feel discouraged and continued.

"The girl you are looking for, she used to live in the town called Wenhua. However, she left the town a week ago."

Chu Feng glanced at his boss' expression. Finding no change, he felt confused. His boss had been searching for this girl for so many years. Although he didn't know what was the relationship between the girl and his boss; seeing how much importance his boss put in this matter, he knew that the girl was someone important to his boss. But now when there was some news and his boss was still calm, he felt that he was just overthinking.

"Boss, I will soon find out where is she now?"

However, his excitement cooled down on hearing the cold words from the other side.

"In how many years?"

The man felt embarrassed to speak anything but Boss He didn't wait for him to say anything else.

"Pay him his salary and hire another one."

Chu Feng immediately replied to his boss.

"Yes Sir."

The man on the other side wanted to defend himself but Chu Feng cut the call and blacklisted his number so that he would not call again. Looked outside, He Jian glanced at passing City through the mirror. Those eyes filled with smile flashed in front of him. He didn't even notice that there was a small smile on his own face remembering them.

Shen Youlin stepped inside the huge villa. Her hair covered her red and swollen cheek. She took a few steps forward without making any noise and then suddenly looked around the empty villa.

A flicker of disappointment and despair flashed through her eyes. But she let out a humorless laugh to cover it.

Who was she trying to hide from?

To distract herself she took out her phone and then looking at the number of certain someone, she smiled brightly.

Humming by herself, she put her hair behind her ears that previously covered her cheek, and then she walked to her room.

Mo Roulan entered the house. Lin Qianru who was waiting for her daughter anxiously held her and asked her many questions.

"How was your day?"

"Did anyone bully you?"

"Did you make friends?"

Mo Roulan patiently answered her mother's questions. She even told her about Shen Youlin omitting the 'alley's incident' part. Lin Qianru felt very happy hearing that she made friends on her first day. She even asked Mo Roulan to invite her to have dinner in their house.

Currently, Mo Roulan was sitting in front of her laptop. Lin Qianru bought her a laptop the next day they shifted here saying that someone told her that she will need it for her graduation studies. Currently, she was looking for a part-time job. Although her mother said that they still had some savings and she will handle it by herself, Mo Roulan still wanted to have a job. They had to manage Mo Chen's school fee and she didn't know how much money they are left with. Her mother didn't tell her.

Finally, something caught her eye. Someone needs a tutor to teach a child. She looked for her phone to save the given number so that she can call them tomorrow but she remembered her phone was still in her bag.

She took out her phone from her bag and was shocked to see so many messages from Shen Youlin.

"Are you home?"

"Hello, are you there?"

"Are you ignoring me?"

"You said that we are friends now so you can't ignore me."

"Are you really going to do this? "

"Okay, I will never message you again."

All the messages had a two-three minute of time difference. Mo Roulan could already imagine Shen Youlin pouting while she was typing on her phone.

She chuckled. Although Shen Youlin said that she would not message her again, she still sent her another message.

"Have you slept already?"

Pressing her lips together, she first texted her and then saved the number she wanted to save. Switching off the lights, she covered herself with a quilt and soon drifted to sleep.

On the other hand, Shen Youlin was currently pacing restlessly in her room. She was craving for it. Anxiously, she rummaged through her wardrobe. All she found were empty bottles. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She tried to suppress her craving.

She didn't take it that many times to get addicted but she was craving for that feeling. Leaning on the door of the wardrobe, she breathed heavily.

Her phone beeped. Desperately she picked it. On the screen was Mo Roulan message.

"My phone was on silent mode so I didn't see your messages. I am going to bed now. Good night."

The words didn't have any special meaning but they still brought a smile to her lips. She felt a strange peace and comfort in her heart.

Her phone beeped again. This time the message was from someone else she was desperately waiting for.

"Come to the same place with money. Don't be afraid. This time I will come by myself to give you things."

If it was a few minutes ago, Shen Youlin would have immediately replied in 'Yes'.

But now suddenly she didn't want to go there. So she typed

"No, I don't want it now."

and then pressed the send.

Yes, she doesn't want it. She doesn't want to need it. She had promised Mo Roulan that she will never go back there again.

She laid on the bed staring at Mo Roulan message again and closed her eyes with a smile on her face.
