CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Cheng Yang and Mo Roulan looked at each other with a surprising smile when they saw that they were about to collide with each other.

Both of them take a step back and said

"You go first"

"You go first."

They said at the same time as they looked at the door with the dish in their hands.

Surprised, they again looked at each other and it was Mo Roulan who first laughed and Cheng Yang just smiled deeply hearing her melodious laughter.

At this moment they were standing inside the kitchen bringing the dishes to the dining table where Mrs. Cheng and the old butler were waiting for them.

Today they decided to let the old butler rest and do this work.

In the end, it was Mo Roulan who went out first followed by Cheng Yang.

The dining table was filled with dishes and the sweet aroma filled the whole dining room. When all the dishes were set on the table, Mo Roulan walked around the dining table to Mrs. Cheng who was signing her to come and sit beside her.

Cheng Yang sighed seeing this and his lips were pressed in a thin line as if he had lost something big.

Mrs. Cheng who noticed her son's reaction smiled secretly.

She shook her head and called him a coward seeing that he silently walked to sit beside the old butler.

The dining table was large and he could clearly walk around and sit on the other side of Mo Roulan, however, he didn't do so. 

At this moment, Mrs. Cheng suddenly remembered her husband who had put aside all the shame while courting her.

She wondered why Cheng Yang didn't get his father's shamelessness.

If he went ahead like this, then perhaps he will never get the girl because she didn't seem to have any inkling of his feelings. 

Mrs. Cheng then looked at Mo Roulan and felt satisfied.

She was a very good girl for Cheng Yang. Her son looked happy with her and hence she was more satisfied with Mo Roulan.

The more she looked at her the more Mrs. Cheng found Mo Roulan a good sight to her eyes.

Her constant stare had now started to make Mo Roulan feel awkward as she wondered whether she had something on her face that made Cheng Yang's mother gaze at her like this.

Cheng Yang also noticed Mo Roulan's discomfort and called out his mother in confusion.

Mrs. Cheng came out of her trance and realized the awkwardness on the table. She cleared her throat and tried to remove this awkwardness with her sincere words

"Miss Mo, you might not know Professor Huo had suggested you as Cheng Yang's tutor, I didn't have that much confidence in you."

"Mom…"

Cheng Yang didn't understand where his mother was trying to go with these words. He remembered that whatever the old butler had told him so he thought that his mother really didn't like Mo Roulan.

He wanted to talk to his mother about this later…at least when Mo Roulan was not around.

However, Mrs. Cheng turned to look at her son with narrowed eyes and said coldly.

"You shut up and eat silently."

Cheng Yang was baffled after being scolded. However, his mother didn't pay any more attention to him and looked back at Mo Roulan as she continued

"Cheng Yang was like that at that time…so distant and silent. I have left every hope of getting the happiness we have today in my family after losing my husband."

Mrs. Cheng had a smile on her lips but the tears in her eyes made that smile look very sad. Cheng Yang felt sad seeing his mother like this and got up from the chair to walk to his mother. Standing behind Mrs. Cheng, he held her shoulders silently comforting her.

Mrs. Cheng smiled looking back at her son and held his hand trying to assure him that she was alright.

Then she looked at Mo Roulan and said gratefully.

"All thanks to Miss Mo that we are having this joyous event in our house today."

Mo Roulan was also left speechless after hearing whatever Mrs. Cheng said.

It was only the first day when Mrs. Cheng had talked to her nicely. After that when she had suggested that Mrs. Cheng should take Cheng Yang to a psychiatrist, Mrs. Cheng had started to behave very coldly with her. It was after so many days she had seen her talking to her again so nicely.

She shook her head lightly seeing that Mrs. Cheng really looked grateful and said

"I did nothing, Mrs. Cheng. It is Cheng Yang's own willpower to come out of the darkness."

For helping Cheng Yang, Mo Roulan had actually two reasons.

First was that she wanted this job because it paid very well.

Perhaps Cheng Yang's matter was special in Mrs. Cheng's eyes and she could not find any teacher for him so she raised the tutoring fees very high. Hence in these few months, she had already gathered one-third of the amount she needed to get her mother's necklace back.   

However, Cheng Yang was too silent and didn't look like he wanted to study. Mo Roulan could accept money happily but only the amount she deserved. If Cheng Yang didn't want to study then she would have to leave the job so she did everything to make him feel interested in his studies. 

The second was that she found him the same as hers from the past life.

She had helped Shen Youlin for the same reason. The three of them blamed themselves for everything that happened in their lives and they couldn't bear the consequences of their actions.

This self-hatred could easily bring destruction to a person's life just like it destructed hers.

By helping Shen Youlin and Cheng Yang, her heart felt a strange satisfaction as if she had saved herself from doing all those mistakes in her past life.

Hence, she was not a saint.

She had her own selfish reasons for helping Cheng Yang and Shen Youlin. 

But both the reasons… she couldn't tell Mrs.. Cheng about them and could only try to act modest and divert her attention from this matter.
