Chapter 66 - Another Coincidence
Mo Roulan eyes didn't move away from He Jian as he walked towards her.
Xie Deming was looking at He Jian with a frown as he interrupted his confession.
With a smile on his lips, He Jian stepped closer to Mo Roulan making Xie Deming take a step back.
The man's aura was very authoritative, Xie Deming thought inside his heart.
Even his gaze when he just looked at him now seemed to be a bit threatening.
"What is Miss Mo doing here?"
He Jian asked Mo Roulan blocking her from the other people's sight at the same time intentionally.
For a moment, even Mo Roulan noticed this but she just shrugged her thoughts away thinking that she might be just overthinking.
Before Mo Roulan could answer, He Jian opened his mouth again and said
"I can drop Miss Mo in my car."
As soon as he finished his sentence, a black car stopped in front of Mo Roulan and her eyes widened.
"Should we leave, Miss Mo?"
Mo Roulan looked at the ice-blue eyes in confusion.
'Have I already said 'yes'?'
She then frowned.
'No, I didn't.'
Just as she was about to open her mouth to refuse He Jian, Xie Deming spoke before her.
"Excuse me, Mister. She has not even answered you yet. You are literally forcing her."
Xie Deming said to He Jian. He was not liking how he was standing so close to Mo Roulan at this moment.
The driver who had stepped outside to open the door of the car for Mo Roulan glanced at the young boy.
Inside his heart, he felt sympathy for the boy.
With a not so smile playing on his lips, He Jian for the first time seriously looked at Xie Deming and asked
"Who are you?"
Xie Deming suddenly felt the hair on the back of his neck standing. However, he tried to compose his expression and answered firmly.
"Xie Deming."
"Oh, so you are the young boy of the Xie family."
He Jian nodded his head and then said
"So young Master Xie thinks that I am forcing Miss Mo?"
Xie Deming thought that he had intimidated the man with his family name and said without any hesitation.
"Yes."
He Jian raised his eyebrow and then turned his head to look at Mo Roulan.
"Does Miss Mo also think so?"
The playful smile on his lips as he stared at her with his icy-blue eyes made Mo Roulan dazed for a moment.
"Huh?"
She asked dumbly not getting his question.
"Miss Mo doesn't think so."
He Jian told Xie Deming who was looking at He Jian with wide eyes.
"But she hadn't even answer yet."
Xie Deming looked at Mo Roulan anxiously but saw her staring at He Jian.
"Classmate Roulan"
Mo Roulan's trance was broken when Xie Deming called her.
"Will you like me to drop you at the college?"
He Jian's smile disappeared as he glanced at the young boy. His cold eyes stared at him as he thought something.
But the brightness in those blue eyes was back when he saw the reluctance in Mo Roulan's eyes.
"Miss Mo, please."
He signed her to enter the car where the driver was holding the door open.
Mo Roulan looked at Xie Deming and then at He Jian.
She knew that Xie Deming had feelings for her. But she didn't have any intention to be with him.
So in this situation, she felt that it was right to go with He Jian.
"Classmate Deming, I have to go somewhere else. You must be getting late for college. I will not trouble you anymore."
After that, she sat inside the car.
He Jian closed the door himself and glanced at Xie Deming for the last time.
Then he went towards the other side and opened the door of the car to sit inside.
The driver drove away the car leaving Xie Deming alone as he stared at the leaving car with sad eyes.
While inside the car, Mo Roulan felt annoyed when she saw the bus stopping at the bus stop just when the car started moving.
If the bus had come a little bit early then she wouldn't have to sit inside He Jian's car.
Turning back she looked at the man by her side. He was working on his laptop.
"Please stop at the University C entrance."
She told the driver. However, the driver just glanced at his boss from the rearview mirror.
The typing sound of keys suddenly stopped and He Jian stared at Mo Roulan for a few seconds.
Under his continuous gaze, Mo Roulan felt a little intimidating. Just as she wanted to ask him to move his eyes away, he asked her
"Didn't Miss Mo just say that she is not going to the college?"
Mo Roulan almost cursed out loud.
She had planned to go back to the bus stop after getting out of He Jian's car. But he already knew that she was not going to college.
"Mr. He said right. I need to go somewhere else. You can drop me here. I'll go by myself. Sorry to trouble Mr. He."
She saw him smiling politely as he said
"We are neighbors; Miss Mo so there is no need for all these formalities. You can tell me where you want to go, I'll drop you there."
Mo Roulan smiled sarcastically.
"I am going to my hometown, Wenhua. Does Mr. He have so much free time to drop me there?"
She had expected this would make the man shut his mouth and the next moment he will ask his driver to stop the car. And then she will be out of this car.
However, when had things gone according to her expectation in He Jian's case.
He Jian chuckled lowly and answered with unusual happiness in his voice.
"What a coincidence, Miss Mo. I also have to pass from there. I can drop you there on the way."
Mo Roulan clenched her purse with her hands.
Why? Just why there are so many coincidences in her life, that too, with him.
