384 Lanlan Is Angry At CEO He!
"You are not allowed to run away once you know the answer. Tell me do you still want to know the answer?" Mo Roulan gulped as the words repeated inside her mind again and again. He Jian's blue eyes in her sight was so gentle and seducing that she could find no words to say. She instead felt an urge to run away at the same time she wished to stay there and look into his beautiful eyes. How long has it been since she saw them so closely last!
"Lanlan…"
When he whispered her name in that gentle and deep husky voice…Mo Roulan shivered slightly. The last time he had called her like this was perhaps on that night in her past life. In that hotel room when he had made love to her. Though that night had passed so fast and in a frenzy, Blur memories were still very fresh inside her mind. The remembrance of that night unconsciously made her throat dry as well as scared.
So when He Jian asked her again,
"Tell me do you want to know?"
Mo Roulan whispered "No…"
She didn't wish to know. At that moment, she didn't even know what she was refusing. But she just wanted to say 'no'. No…that was what she should have said that night. Then perhaps she would never have suffered from the pain of losing her precious child. He Jian frowned as he seemed to sense the change in Mo Roulan. Her face was a little pale and when he finally saw a little focus in her eyes, she left the door handle and pushed his chest a little firmly with both of her hands.
"Step away."
Mo Roulan whispered breathlessly and He Jian immediately stepped away. Worry and concern flashed across his eyes. Did he scare her? He Jian cursed inside his mind when he thought of this. For now, he decided not to say anything. When he looked back at Mo Roulan's blank face, his heart was filled with regret. Suppressing the urge to hug her in his arms and comfort her, he instead held her hand and started to move towards the elevator. Mo Roulan didn't struggle this time. Her head was lowered as she let herself be pulled by He Jian inside the elevator. There was a thick silence inside the elevator…the silence He Jian couldn't endure.
For the first time, the silence was bothering him. He looked at the silent young girl standing by his side and cleared his throat before asking "How was your day at the office today?"
The question made Mo Roulan come out of her trance. Her face was still a little pale but when she registered what He Jian just asked her, the memory of those yellow flowers flashed in her mind and her voice came out a little cold as she answered
"It was very good."
Her hands however were clenched tightly forming two small fists as she stared ahead without saying anything else. He Jian, obviously sensed the coldness in her voice and his heart sank. "Lanlan…are you angry at me?'
He asked helplessly. Mo Roulan eyes narrowed. Angry…the hell she was. Why would she be angry!
She was very happy. The girls were giving him flowers and he was going to marry Shen Yiling very soon…so she was happy!
It is just that her way of showing her happiness was a little different. Thought Mo Roulan inside her heart as she stepped out of the elevator pulling her hand out of He Jian's hold as soon as the elevator doors opened. On the other hand, He Jian looked at her back with a confused face. Why was she saying otherwise when she clearly looked so angry!
With the same expression on his face, he stepped out of the elevator to follow Mo Roulan. His pace quickened when he saw that instead of going towards the car where Chu Feng was waiting for them, Mo Roulan was walking in some other direction and where she was going, she won't even be able to exit from there. Thye had come from the back gate of the company that opened in the garage and Mo Roulan had never stepped out from there. So it was obvious that she couldn't find her way out of the huge garage. He Jian walked fast and immediately held Mo Roulan's arm who also slowed down as she seemed to realize that she was going the wrong way after seeing the wall in front of her a few steps away. "Lanlan, where are you going? The car is there."
He Jian said gently as he held her hand and started to pull her gently towards the car. However, Mo Roulan frowned again when she remembered those yellow flowers. The fact that some girl had given those flowers to him bothered her a lot. "I will go by bus."
She said sullenly as she tried to pull her hand out of his hold again. He Jian frowned deeply. This time when he turned around to look at Mo Roulan, he had a serious expression on his face. Mo Roulan also sensed this and swallowed a little. How could she forget that the one whom she was trying to deny was He Jian!
Once he would have this strictness in his eyes…like the one with which a parent would look at her child who was pulling up some nonsense acts, she would always find herself unable to refuse him. Sure enough, he said something the same that she had heard from him in her past life too. When was it!
Mo Roulan tried to remember! Perhaps it was when she had found out about his and Shen Yiling's engagement. That night also, she had refused to go back to the He Mansion with him for the first time. However, unaware of her feelings, he had strictly told her this. And suppressing her anger, she had silently sat inside the car like a good girl. But her anger had not lasted for a long time because she had soon come to know that He Jian was going to step back from this engagement that was decided by his family.
"Lanlan, don't behave like a child. No matter how much you wish, I won't let you travel in those buses …especially at this time."
Why should she travel on the bus when they had a car!
He Jian had wanted to say ignoring the advantages that public transport brings to a Country or the world. He had clearly read on the internet about them while reading the disadvantages and dangerous risks he read but he very smartly put them aside for now because the former things seemed to agree with his wish of having Mo Roulan with him in his car. Because CEO He would always stay CEO He!
In the end, Mo Roulan sat inside He Jian's car. Sitting on the back seat, she looked out of the car's window with a small pout on her lips. All the while during the silent ride, she never looked at He Jian who was looking at her every few seconds. Exactly five minutes after the car started, He Jian could no longer endure the silence. Mo Roulan was not even looking at him and it made him feel very frustrated. "Lanlan…"
He called out with a deep frown on his forehead which went deeper when he saw that she still didn't turn to look at him. "Lanlan…"
He called out again. When Mo Roulan still didn't turn her head to look at him, He Jian moved his sharp and cold eyes to look at the rearview mirror. Chu Feng who was admiring Mo Roulan for her courage immediately lowered his head and pressed the button and a partition immediately appeared between the front and back seat of the car. After that, He Jian finally turned to look at Mo Roulan again. He rested his head on the window seat and silently looked at Mo Roulan. His eyes stayed more on the pout on Mo Roulan's pink and soft lips. An amused smile graced his lips when he saw the frown on her forehead. She could feel his gaze on herself. Sure enough, after a whole two minutes later, Mo Roulan finally turned to look at He Jian and said sullenly "Stop doing this."
He Jian raised his eyebrows and said innocently. "But what did I do?"
Mo Roulan narrowed her eyes as she looked at He Jian and said "You were staring at me. Stop doing that."
Mo Roulan was not able to understand what was wrong with He Jian today. Even in the office…that close, they had never been that close to each other except those few times when she had been crying and he had comforted her. And even now he was openly staring at her. She couldn't understand at all what was going on!
However, He Jian just smiled innocently at her question…the smile that again made Mo Roulan's heart skip a beat. "Was I?"
She looked away from his face when he asked her this question. She couldn't really argue when he was not ready to accept.
With a confused mind, she turned to look out of the window again. And again she could feel He Jian's intense gaze. In the span of a few moments, Mo Roulan started to have chaotic thoughts inside her heart. The consciousness that she used to feel in her past life returned with a great force.
