CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

0Mo Roulan's back was stiff as she slowly turned around to look at He Jian who was standing beside her mother.      3

His blue eyes stared at her fixedly but there was a gentle smile on his lips.      

"It's alright. You must be feeling tired. Go and get ready now. I will wait here."     

Shen Youlin frowned and Lin Qinru wore a confused expression on her face.      

Lin Qianru asked He Jian.      

"Jian, what are you talking about? Why should Mo Roulan get ready?"     

He Jian turned to look at Lin Qianru when he heard her question. Looking back at Mo Roulan once, he said innocently.     

"Auntie, Lanlan didn't tell you? I am going to take Lanlan to a business party."     

"Oh…"     

A smile immediately graced Lin Qinaru's lips and she looked at Mo Roulan. With a cautious tone, she said      

"Roulan, then you should hurriedly get ready unless you will get late and because of you, Jian will get late."     

In fact, Lin Qianru really wanted Mo Roulan to attend this dinner. She was aware that Mo Roulan wanted to open her own fashion designing company.      

It would be good if she started to connect with those people in this field already. With He Jian's help, it was possible.      

Mo Roulan wanted to refuse.      

However, before she could open her mouth, He Jian glanced at the clock hung in the living room and said      

"Lanlan, go and get ready. We don't have much time."     

And with that, Lin Qianru stepped forward and took her away from there to get ready.      

Mo Roulan didn't even get the chance to refuse as her mother rummaged through her almirah and took out a dress for her.      

It was the same dress she had worn for Shen Youlin's birthday party.      

Lin Qianru looked a little embarrassed as she gave the dress to her daughter but said assuredly      

"Roulan, Mom will buy some new dresses for you for this kind of occasion. Wear this one for this once."     

Saying this, she stretched out her hand that had the dress in front of Mo Roulan as if indicating her to take it and then get ready.      

However, Mo Roulan didn't take the dress from her mother's hands.      

Looking back at Lin Qianru, she said coldly.     

"You don't need to buy anything for me. I am not going anywhere."     

The smile on Lin Qianru's lips vanished slowly and she suddenly bit her lips.      

After the silence of a few moments, she said slowly      

"Roulan, I know that you are angry at me but don't vent your anger by losing this good opportunity."     

In response, Mo Roulan only turned her head away coldly.      

Her mother's words did nothing to soothe the pain she had been feeling since last night. When Grandfather He had said that her mother agreed to let him adopt her, Mo Roulan had wondered where exactly she had disappointed Lin Qianru that made her take such a decision.      

How could a mother let someone else adopt her children!     

Now she suddenly wondered whether her mother had wanted them from the beginning or not. In her last life also, she didn't try to get treated even though she had a necklace that could borrow her some money and left her and Mo Chen alone.      

And now in this life this!     

"Roulan, don't cry please."     

Lin Qianru sat on the bed by Mo Roulan's side and tried to hug her.      

However, Mo Roulan avoided her arms indecisively. Lin Qianru felt very hurt by these actions but she suppressed it knowing very well that she had hurt Mo Roukan more than this.      

Seeing Mo Roulan's tears, Lin Qianru felt very conflicted.      

Lin Qianru could count on her fingers the time Mo Roulan had cried since the day she had her surgery.      

Mo Roulan didn't cry very easily. If she cried, then there was something very deeply bothering her, or she was very hurt so she felt very worried.      

Now she didn't know whether she did the right thing or not.      

Biting her quivering lips, she had to put a large effort into not crying.      

She, as a mother, should not cry when her daughter was crying. But Lin Qianru had always been this sensitive.      

In fact, in the beginning, when her husband suddenly left her, she used to think that he left her only because of this. And hence since that day, she had tried her best to control her emotions, however, she had soon realized that it was out of her control.      

"Roulan, Mom is very sorry. Mom did wrong."     

Lin Qianru forcefully brought Mo Roulan in her arms. This time, she didn't leave Mo Roulan even when she struggled and Mo Roulan didn't dare to put much force while struggling because she was afraid to hurt her mother.      

She cried silently when she heard her mother's next words.      

"I can't give you everything, Roulan. Mom knows ….it very well. So I thought that if you can get all those things from He family then it would not be bad to let He Jian's grandfather adopt you."     

Lin Qianru's tears slid down when she finished and Mo Roulan silently hugged her mother in response.      

She was actually feeling very helpless.      

She didn't know what she should say because she knew that no matter how much she would say her mother wouldn't understand.      

She would not understand that she didn't need to give them everything.      

That her being here with them was enough.      

Mo Roulan could only hug her mother tightly and whisper softly between tears.      

"Mom, I really don't …need all those things that you think I need. I don't kn..ow why you think that I want them. I just want you and Mo Chen and nothing else."     

That was the only thing she had wanted in this life.      

Lin Qianru nodded her head hearing these words as if she was saying that she understood. She even said      

"Mom understands. Mom will never do it again, Roulan. Stop crying now, alright?"     

Mo Roulan tried to stop her tears but she couldn't.      

She continued to hug her mother and shed tears.      

She was afraid of what was about to come.      

She wished that world would stop here and she could stay like this by her mother's side.
