CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Lin Qianru hurriedly hid herself behind the wall when she saw Mo Roulan turning to look in her direction.

A relived sigh escaped from her lips when she saw that Mo Roulan could not see her.

With curious and worry filled eyes, she looked at the car out of which she had seen Mo Roulan stepping out of. Her eyes went wide when she saw a man stepping out of the same car.

A man who seemed to be older than Mo Roulan.

Countless imaginations filled her mind.

Although she trusted her daughter very much, she was still worried about her. In the end, she was just a young girl who could be misled by some clever guy.

However, the next moment Lin Qianru's eyes widened when she saw the man's face.

It was the young man she had invited at dinner to her apartment…He Jian.

"Does it hurt now?"

"Huh?"

Mo Roulan raised her head. Her eyes showed the confusion she felt by the question.

It was only when she saw He Jian's eyes on her wrists she realized what he was talking about.

"No…"

She whispered softly as she glanced at her bandaged wrists now. The bandage was tied on her redden and peeled areas. Anyone with one glance at it could tell that the person who did it was very unskilled at it.

Irony filled her heart as she remembered how He Jian had asked the driver to stop the car at the medical shop. He applied the cream on her wounds himself.     

"I am sorry."

She was startled again when she heard these words from He Jian. Raising her head, she found him looking at herself with his intense blue eyes.

"For what?"

She asked him again in confusion.       

"I should have come early."

For a moment, Mo Roulan thought that she saw anger flashing in He Jian's eyes. Towards whom? She didn't know so she dismissed her thought. 

"It's alright."

She mumbled in a very low voice suddenly feeling a little low.

However, He Jian didn't agree with her. Seeing the redden and peeled skin on Mo Roulan's wrists, he blamed himself for his stupidity…no actually Fang Zhihan's stupidity.

He should have known that Fang Zhihan's stupid schemes will always remain stupid and because of them he had already harmed the girl he had wanted to protect from everything.

"You don't need to worry about anything. I will handle everything from here now. They will not be allowed to disturb you. My lawyer and…"

He Jian stopped amidst his words when a soft sniffle fell in his ears.

His hands inside his pockets froze suddenly and he looked at Mo Roulan's lowered head with panic.

"Lanlan"

Even his voice was laced with concern and panic as he took out his hands and held Mo Roulan's shoulders feeling more worried when he felt them shaking lightly under his hands.

"I am alright."

Mo Roulan whispered in a small voice as she tried to free her shoulders from He Jian's grip but the man held her in a firm hold.

"Stay still."

A firm voice came from above her head and her chin was suddenly held in a tight but gentle grip. She was made to raise her head and look at the man in front of her.

More tears streamed down from her eyes when she looked into those pair of eyes.

The usual cold blue eyes were filled with concern making her heart uneasy and warm at the same time.

She tried hard to control her emotions but she just couldn't do so. 

She had been doing it since the moment Inspector Meng had told her that He Jian had called him before to made Su Mian and Wen Zuyan suffer more in the prison.

Only she knew how it felt to hear that both the women, who had been responsible for half of her miseries in her past life, were now struggling for even a single bite of food.

She was not a saint.

She had gone through so much in her past life. She had fought for one time meal in the orphanage for her younger brother.     

She also had to send Mo Chen away from herself to give him a better life but after that what she had went through…only she knew.

She had never eaten enough in that orphanage. She didn't get any toys to play, or any books to study. She had spent years wearing the same dresses and getting beaten by the children who used to live with her.

None of that would not have happened if her aunts had not sent her and Mo Chen away.

Mo Roulan's heart was filled with hatred for both of her aunts.

For everyone who had been responsible for her miserable past. 

Even knowing the fact that Wen Zuyan and Su Mian were suffering more than anyone in the prison…It gave her heart a strange satisfaction. 

He Jian did something she had always wanted to do but she didn't have any power to do that.

This time she was really thankful to him for what he did.

She came out of her trance when she felt something touching her cold cheek.

"Lanlan, what happened?"

Mo Roulan's heart shook for a moment when she heard the deep voice. Cold fingers wiped the tears rolling down her cheeks gently.

She didn't know just how she should answer the question so she said

"I feel bad for bothering you."

This was also true.

Getting the help from a man to whom she had asked to not interfere in her matters just a few days ago…it was also very uncomfortable especially when that man was He Jian.

It made her feel helpless…as if she can't avoid He Jian's presence in her life no matter how much she would try hard.

"Rubbish"

She was startled when she heard the harsh voice and raised her head only to see a frown on He Jian's forehead.

The pair of blue eyes firmly locked with hers and her heart was again filed with warmness when she heard He Jian's next words.

"Lanlan…you are never a bother.. Always remember this."
