CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

"Lanlan"

"Huh?"

Mo Roulan came out of her trance and but still whispered confusedly when she heard someone calling her name.

Still in confusion, she slowly turned her eyes to look at the person who was holding her shoulders.

"Lanlan, are you alright?"

The blue eyes filled with concern fell in her sight.

"He Jian…"

Mo Roulan whispered softly unable to comprehend anything. She couldn't even hear He Jian's question as she stepped forward and hugged He Jian suddenly.

On the other hand, the cold and indifferent man was completely frozen.

This was the first time Mo Roulan had called him by his name and he seemed to like it more than that 'Brother Jian'.

He Jian gulped visibly as his adam apple wobbled with his every gulp.

It was only when he felt the wetness on his shirt he came out of his trance.

"Lanlan"

He Jian called out Mo Roulan in a voice that was laced with concern.

His hands tried to make Mo Roulan push away a little so that he can have a look on her face.   

Was she really crying?

Mo Roulan let him do whatever he wanted because she was still lost in the memory of her past where she had to take the most painful decision of her life.

"Lanlan, why are you crying? What happened?"

"Did someone say something to you?"

He Jian asked with an emotionless face and cold eyes while Mo Roulan again looked confused at his question.

She wiped her cheek with her fingers and felt the wetness on them

She was crying? She didn't even realize when she started crying.

"I…I … just …"

Mo Roulan looked at the loss of words and He Jian looked concerned for the young girl in front of her. He held Mo Roulan's shoulders and walked towards his apartment.

The door opened as soon as he filled in the password and He Jian entered with Mo Roulan who followed him silently while breathing deeply to calm down her emotions.

"Here…have it."

He Jian forwarded the glass of water mixed with honey to Mo Roulan as he sat beside her.

Mo Roulan smiled nervously as she took the glass from his hands and took a sip.

The continuous stare only made her more nervous.

A few moments ago, she was too emotional and couldn't think clearly. She couldn't control her emotions. But now when she was calm when she knew that she would not let Mo Chen go away from herself in this life…when she could think clearly how should she answer He Jian's question as to why she was crying earlier.

"Speak"

The cold voice said directly not leaving any doors of 'Yes' or 'no'.

Mo Roulan swallowed as she felt the sweat forming on her palms.

"Actually I …I …"

She licked her lips as she tried to find some excuse.

"It's nothing."

In the end, she could just say this. The next moment she got up from the sofa they were sitting on and said

"I am getting late for college. I should leave now."   

Mo Roulan smiled nervously as she said this and turned around to leave. However, her wrist was grabbed instantly from behind and the same cold voice came again.

"Sit here and tell me why you were crying. You are not allowed to leave until you tell me everything."

Mo Roulan sighed and regretted inside her heart for being so emotionally weak a few moments ago.

But now it was too late to regret. 

The man effortlessly dragged her to sit beside him on the sofa again.

"Now speak."

He Jian said as he looked at the girl with a frown on his forehead.

He could still see the traces of the tears on Mo Roulan's face and he didn't like it even a bit. So he took out his handkerchief and started to wipe them with still a frown on his forehead.

Mo Roulan who was twisting her fingers silently thinking of what she should say was startled by the sudden touch.

"Don't move."

She heard the deep voice from so close as the scent of manly cologne invaded her nostrils.

The soft cloth touched her cheek and she continued to look at the man with a frown on his face that completely showed his displeasure.

Mo Roulan didn't know from when she started to feel so emotional but she felt her eyes going teary again and soon new tears slid out from them.

He Jian eyes flashed with helplessness and concern when he saw the new tears forming in those black-brown eyes and he couldn't stop himself from cursing out loud. 

"Damn…just tell me who is the reason behind them. I will make sure that you won't see that person's face again."

Mo Roulan was baffled when she heard He Jian.

She looked at He Jian with surprise-filled eyes. In her past life, she had never seen him behaving like that.

He Jian, on the other hand, sighed in relief when he saw that Mo Roulan was not crying anymore. He gently wiped Mo Roulan's cheek and then said again

"Now, tell me. What is the matter?"

This time Mo Roulan smiled lightly. She couldn't stop this smile after she had heard He Jian's words.

Feeling so cared by someone and this feeling of security that He Jian gave her made her feel that she would be able to manage everything.

"Nothing …I just…I was missing Shen Youlin."

She said as she licked her lips nervously.

It was also true in some way. She was missing Shen Youlin very much yesterday. Even when she woke up in the morning, a sadness had occupied her heart when she realized that she would not be able to see Shen Youlin in the college.   

"Just this?"

He Jian asked with narrowed and doubtful eyes.

Mo Roulan immediately nodded her head signing that it was true.

He Jian was speechless for a moment.

A moment later, Mo Roulan suddenly let out a loud yelp.

"Ouch"

  She said as she held her forehead with one of her hands and rubbed the red spot.

  "Did you just flick me?"

She asked He Jian with gritted teeth.

He Jian, on the other hand, looked amused seeing those black-brown eyes filled with anger.

"Let's go. You will get late for college."

He said as he stood up from the sofa while Mo Roulan looked at his back with a pout on her lips as she rubbed her red forehead.
