CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

398  Lin Qianru Is Guilty

The sky at night was filled with beautiful stars. The balcony outside Mo Roulan's room was lit with moonlight. Under this dim light, a figure suddenly jumped inside the small balcony. He Jian sighed lightly as he patted his clothes. At this moment, he has changed the business suit that everyone was used to seeing him in usually. He was wearing a T-shirt and trousers, the usual clothes he wore before he went to sleep every day. However, sleep was far away from He Jian's eyes tonight…actually it had always been away from him because he had insomnia. However, tonight, he couldn't even concentrate on his office work.

Every moment, Mo Roulan's tear-filled eyes were flashing in front of his eyes. So in the end, with a helpless heart and mind, he decided to see her once. Now, at night when it was already one o'clock, he couldn't really go and knock on Mo Family's apartment's doors.   So he could only choose this way. 'Just once I will see if she is fine or not then I will leave.'

He said to himself when he found himself hesitating to step inside Mo Roulan's room. The hesitation had been there since the moment his father had told him that Mo Roulan would never like it if she would come to know how he was invading her privacy constantly but what other method could he choose if she was avoiding him like this. She was not responding to his calls and messages. All this made him worried …worried to the point that he ignored everything and decided to jump onto the balcony of a girl so late at night. A bitter smile formed on his lips. In his life, when had He Jian thought that he would do such a thing. Never!

With a helpless and bitter smile, He Jian finally raised his foot and stretched out his hand to slide the door open. However, disappointment started to fill his heart when he thought that the door might not be open but then the next moment, a deep frown marred his forehead when he noticed that the door was really open.

How could she be so careless!

Tonight it was he so there was no need to worry but it could be someone else also! The thought made He Jian very uncomfortable and worried for Mo Roulan's safety. He decided to have a talk with Mo Roulan about this later. Sliding the door open, He Jian stepped inside the room. His blue eyes roamed around the familiar room and a smile formed on his lips when he inhaled the familiar sweet scent. It belonged to Mo Roulan. The room smelled just like her. It calmed down his restless heart. His blue eyes stopped on the bed where the girl who was the reason behind his restlessness was sleeping peacefully. With narrowed eyes, he slowly and carefully stepped towards the bed. He stretched out his finger as if to touch her face but then stopped just a little far away from her face. His finger from that distance only caressed each and every detail of her beautiful face in the air. A completely different kind of emotion was there in his blue eyes at this moment. Love, possessiveness, joy, and every emotion that He Jian had never felt in his life before …Mo Roulan made him feel all those emotions. He suddenly kneeled down by the bedside and looked at the beautiful face that was etched inside his heart and mind. "I am sorry, Lanlan."

He whispered in almost no voice.

"I will never do this again."

After that, he looked at Mo Roulan's face for a few more minutes and then left the room silently without making any noise.     On the other hand, Mo Roulan who was deeply asleep on the bed suddenly whispered softly "Jian…"

A frown marred her forehead as she clutched the bedsheet with her hands tightly and then suddenly loosened it. A tear slid out of her eyes and she suddenly went silent. The frown also disappeared from her forehead as if it was never there. .

The morning came sooner than Mo Roulan had expected. After whatever last evening, she had not expected that she would sleep so deeply that she would not even wake up by the alarm clock and it would be her mother who would wake up. "Roulan…" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mo Roulan felt someone shaking her shoulders hard and came out of the deep slumber. "Roulan, are you alright?'

Lin Qianru's eyes were filled with worry and concern as she noticed the dazed look in her daughter's eyes. She put the back of her hand on her daughter's forehead to check her temperature and the frown on her forehead vanished slowly.

She was relieved that Mo Roulan didn't have a fever. But why did she not wake up on her own today? Lin Qianru was about to ask Mo Roulan the same question when she suddenly noticed her daughter's red and swollen eyes. Before Mo Roulan was sleeping and her eyelashes were covering her eyes so Lin Qianru could not see it but now that her eyes were opened she could clearly see how red and swollen her daughter's eyes were. As if she had cried very hard last night. Guilt crawled to her heart and Lin Qianru's eyes started to fill up with tears suddenly. "Roulan, I am sorry."

She whispered as she bit her trembling lips. On the other hand, Mo Roulan who was still a little confused froze upon hearing her mother's choking voice. She raised her head to look at her mother and was about to ask why she was crying when suddenly everything from last night came rushing to her mind slowly and slowly. Grandfather He's words, He Jian's swift no…and then that kiss…

Cold sweat covered Mo Roulan's forehead and she suddenly got down from the bed and ran towards the bathroom. "Roulan"

While Lin Qianru shouted her name from behind. However, as she heard the sound of the bathroom door being locked, she could only sigh helplessly and wipe her eyes. She should give some time to Mo Roulan. Thinking this, Lin Qianru left her daughter's room.
