CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

"Answer me, Lanlan. Did you really want to go with her?"

Mo Roulan opened her mouth to say something but she suddenly felt as if she could see a big dog in He Jian. His eyes were no longer cold but they had something else.

As if he was waiting for her answer eagerly and her single 'yes' would disappoint him very much.

She didn't want to disappoint him so she answered unconsciously 

"I …I never said that."

  He Jian smiled lightly after he heard Mo Roulan's answer. He left Mo Roulan's chin and sat comfortably on his seat.

"Good girl."

Mo Roulan who was still blinking her eyes repeatedly felt him patting her head lightly as he said

"Good girl."

After that, he rested his head on the headrest and closed his eyes comfortably as if nothing happened.

Mo Roulan also sat straight. She didn't dare to look at He Jian for the next few moments. She could feel her heart beating so fast inside her chest. She was afraid that even He Jian could hear it.

It was at that moment, she finally looked in He Jian's direction.

Her fast heartbeat suddenly calmed down seeing He Jian's calm face.

A bitter smile graced her lips seeing him so calm and indifferent. Why did she even think anything else…even after such a bitter past?

Why did she still feel so hurt?

Had not he always been like this? He would make her heart go up and down with his actions but he would look so calm and indifferently as if he never did anything …as if nothing mattered to him at all.

Even after experiencing all this already, why did she still expect more?

Mo Roulan asked herself all these questions again. She looked out of the window again.

Moments like these would show Mo Roulan the mirror of reality.

She would come to know that those feelings she thinks she had suppressed in a corner of her heart were still there.

Sometimes she would wonder if there would be any time in the future, she would be able to free her heart from those feelings.

Because it was still painful for her.

The past was still painful and it would always be.   

The whole ride, Mo Roulan didn't look at He Jian again.

The car stopped fifteen minutes later and He Jian opened his eyes. He first looked at Mo Roulan but found her looking outside in a daze.

He Jian's body tensed suddenly when he noticed that Mo Roulan's seemed to be in some kind of daze and her face also didn't look much well.

Did he perhaps scare her?

"Lanlan"

He Jian called out gently.

Mo Roulan came out of her trance and turned to look at He Jian in confusion.

"We have reached."

He Jian said gently seeing that Mo Roulan still looked confused.

"Oh…"

Mo Roulan whispered and raised her hand to open the door of the car. He Jian frowned as he hurriedly got out of the car.   

He was now regretting what he did just a few seconds ago. It must be all-new for Mo Roulan. He should wait a little more before showing his feelings to her.

He Jian thought as he walked to the other side of the car and opened the door for Mo Roulan.

Mo Roulan was still sitting inside the car. Her eyes were blank as she looked at the car's door and then at He Jian.

He Jian was now getting more and more worried seeing Mo Roulan's behavior. He tried to act calmly and forwarded his hand as he said gently.

"Lanlan, come out."

Mo Roulan looked at the hand.

She stared at it for a long time before she placed her hand in He Jian's hand and came out of the car as He Jian protected her head with his other hand.

He Jian had wanted to ask Mo Roulan if she was alright. However, no word came out of his mouth when he felt Mo Roulan freeing her hand from his hold. 

Mo Roulan didn't look at He Jian again. She knew that her action might have felt a little out of place and to cover it up, she bent down to pick her purse from the car.

He Jian's eyes however followed Mo Roulan's every action.

When Mo Roulan raised her head and straightened her body, she still tried to avoid He Jian very nicely. He Jian sighed as he also decided to give her some space.

But he also knew very well that the 'giving so-called space would not work for too long.

Mo Roulan now looked at the front.

She frowned in confusion seeing the huge building in front of her eyes. It felt familiar and she soon started to recognize where she was.

Mo Roulan's face went paler than before as she read the capital letters that were engraved on the nameplate that hung near the entrance gates.

'He Corporation'

She was at He Corporation. The huge company that belonged to He family.

The place from where she had been thrown out once after being humiliated so much in her past life. She was now standing at the same place.

But why?

"Why are we here?"

She asked He Jian almost in a whisper as she tried hard not to stutter because of the terrible feelings inside her heart. 

He Jian was also looking at the huge building in front of his eyes at this moment. His eyes were however were filled with smiles as he thought that his Lanlan was now going to work at the same place he was working.

She would be going to be near him almost the whole day.

The fact made him very happy.

If only he had turned his head to look at Mo Roulan's face, He Jian would have known how his next few words made Mo Roulan almost collapse down on the floor.

"Because it is the He Corporation where you are going to start your internship today."
