"Lanlan Cares For Shen Youlin Too Much"
"Lanlan Cares For Shen Youlin Too Much"
She intentionally tried not to think anything about whatever happened on the last day. After an hour, when she was ready, she stepped out of her room and walked toward the dining room.
Her body still froze a little when she saw He Jian sitting inside the dining room. As if he sensed her presence, he turned around to look at her and smiled gently.
"Good morning, Lanlan."
Mo Roulan didn't know but she felt herself relaxing under that smile and gentle gaze. As if yesterday had been just her dream and everything was like the day before yesterday.
"Good morning, Mr. He."
She whispered softly and then stepped inside the dining room.
"Your face looks better than yesterday."
Lin Qianru said as soon as she saw her daughter sitting beside her son. Mo Roulan smiled lightly. However, confusion flashed through her eyes when she didn't find Shen Youlin anywhere.
"Where is Youlin?"
Lin Qianru also frowned as she said
"I was also waiting for that girl but she didn't come until now."
The response made Mo Roulan frown and she unconsciously searched her phone inside her purse to check on Shen Youlin.
During this, she didn't notice how He Jian's gaze followed her each and every action. His eyes were dim as he saw the concern in her eyes. Though he didn't want to, he still couldn't stop himself from saying
"Lanlan, you should have breakfast first."
He Jian said it gently but Mo Roulan couldn't help but turn her head to look at him. She saw him putting the bowl of vegetable soup in front of her.
She wanted to ask Shen Youlin first if she was fine. However, even Lin Qianru insisted that she should have her breakfast first.
Lin Qianru thought that Mo Roulan was trying to avoid drinking the soup. She had never liked the vegetable soup but she had made it, especially for her daughter because she was looking too pale yesterday and she knew very well that Mo Roulan didn't have a proper meal yesterday.
So under her mother's eyes, Mo Roulan first had to finish her breakfast.
"How was the party last night?"
Mo Roulan stiffened immediately when she heard her mother's question.
How should she answer this question!
What business party…there was no party last night. Instead, it was a da…Mo Roulan couldn't help but feel her heartbeat quickening inside her chest when she thought it.
She immediately lowered her head when she saw He Jian blinking his eyes in assurance at her. Soon, she heard him answering her mother
"It was good, Auntie. We left early as Lanlan looked very tired."
"Ohh"
Lin Qianru nodded her head. She didn't say that Mo Roulan was out for five hours because she thought that the restraint might be far away.
"Thanks, Jian. As long as you are with her, I feel assured."
Lin Qianru couldn't help but say this to He Jian sincerely. In response, He Jian shook his head seriously and said
"This is something that I am supposed to do."
Mo Roulan silently listened to the two people who were talking about her. She didn't know what she should say so she silently finished her breakfast.
After He Jian finished his breakfast, he got up from the chair he had been sitting on. His blue eyes went to Mo Roulan and his lips were pressed in a thin line when he saw that she had already finished her breakfast and was now typing something on her phone. He already knew what it was.
She must be texting Shen Youlin.
She cared too much for that girl!
He couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed at this thought.
Suppressing the irritation inside his chest, he said calmly
"Come, Lanlan. We need to leave for the office."
Lin Qianru also frowned when she saw Mo Roulan busy on the phone.
"Roulan, you can't get Jian late because of you."
"Yes, Mom."
Mo Roulan immediately locked her phone and then stood up to leave with He Jian.
A few minutes later, He Jian was frowning deeply inside the elevator. He didn't know if he should feel happy that Mo Roulan didn't look too guarded like yesterday or he should be annoyed that she was still looking at her phone.
He wished to snatch the phone from her hands and ask her to talk to him.
In the last half an hour, she had not talked to him except by saying 'Good morning Mr. He' and he so wanted to hear her voice.
But for that girl, she had all the time and talks.
He thought as he saw her typing vigorously on the phone.
With the same frown on his forehead, He Jian stepped out of the elevator with Mo Roulan following him absentmindedly.
He stopped walking suddenly and waited for Mo Roulan to come by his side. However, he couldn't help but look at her back with cold eyes when she walked past by him and continued to walk ahead all this while looking at the screen of her phone.
She didn't even seem to notice that he had stopped walking.
Chu Feng who was standing outside the car waiting for his boss saw this scene and couldn't help but feel a little funny.
However, when he saw his boss' cold and sharp eyes on him, a shiver went down his spine and he immediately looked away.
Inside his heart, Chu Feng promised himself that he must put his whole attention to work today and please his boss so that he would forget this small thing.
However, it was too late now.
Mo Roulan sat inside the car and Chu Feng opened the door for his boss. It was at that time, that he heard his boss saying coldly
"You are working overtime for the next two weeks."
Chu Feng froze. He couldn't even close the door after hearing those cruel words, however, He Jian was very generous and didn't scold him for this.
The 'generous' boss closed the door himself.
Chu Feng wanted to cry but he didn't have any tears to shed.
His girlfriend was already on the verge of breaking up with him because of him not giving her any time. Chu Feng wanted to tell his boss but then he thought that he should not.
Who knows if his boss would only increase punishment on hearing this!
Since his own love story was not going well, he wouldn't let others have one.
Chu Feng sighed heavily as he walked towards the front seat to sit beside the driver.

'I woke up late today so I couldn't come.'
The words appeared on the phone's screen and Shen Youlin pressed send.
The reply came swiftly.
'Why did you wake up late? Are you alright?
Shen Youlin smiled sadly. She was very touched by Mo Roulan's care. At the same time, she didn't want her to worry for her.
She also was feeling as if something was missing in her morning because she didn't see Mo Roulan today. However, she just couldn't gather the courage to see Mo Roulan.
No matter how much she tried to make herself understand that she was doing nothing wrong, she still couldn't help but feel guilty.
Shen Yiling wanted He Jian. She didn't want to harm Mo Roulan and if she stayed with Shen Yiling, she would be able to protect Mo Roulan more.
Shen Youlin assured herself with these words again and again.
She came out of her trance when she heard Shen Weisheng's surprise-filled voice.
"Good morning."
"Good Morning."
Shen Youlin said absentmindedly as she dug the fork into the dish on her plate.
Shen Weisheng raised her eyebrows as he noticed her fierceness. It seemed that she was not in a good mood.
As he sat down on his usual seat, he couldn't but ask
"You didn't go to Mo Roulan's home today?"
However, Shen Youlin just hummed in a low voice.
Shen Weisheng looked confused but then decided to leave it as Shen Youlin looked too uninterested in continuing this conversation.
He smiled as he ate the dish from the fork and said afterward.
"But it's good that you are here. Sometimes you should also have at least one-time meal with your elder brother."
The words made Shen Youlin raise her head and look at Shen Weisheng.
If it had been four months ago, she would have just rolled her eyes and said something sarcastically. However, today even she wished she couldn't say anything in sarcasm.
In fact, she felt a little guilty on hearing Shen Weisheng's words. Was he also not alone inside this huge mansion just like how she used to live alone inside her own huge mansion?
He also must be seeking some company in his alone time.
"I am sorry."
She couldn't help but say with a guilt-filled heart. Shen Weisheng was surprised again perhaps never expected for her to apologize so abruptly.
He chuckled when he saw Shen Youlin's lowered head like a guilty bunny. A moment later, he raised his other hand and patted her head gently
"Brother has still not done enough to become your priority."
And Shen Weisheng said this honestly.
He knew very well that whatever he was doing now was nothing in front of what he had done before to push Shen Youlin away.
So he was just getting what he deserved.
Shen Youlin just glanced at him once and then lowered her head to eat silently. She didn't know what she should say.
Should she say that she was also afraid of losing him?
Or should she ask him whether he will continue to pamper her so much if he came to know that she was different from other girls?
