The Kiss?!
The Kiss?!
"Qianru…"
He patted her cheek lightly not realizing that he didn't call her 'Miss Lin' like he was supposed to do. His eyes were filled with panic and anxiousness and the next moment, he without any hesitation turned around the car to go to the hospital.

Mo Roulan stepped inside the huge Mansion with Cheng Yang. Throughout the whole time, her heart never stopped beating so quickly. It took her a great effort not to run away at the entrance itself.
"Good that we came together."
Mo Roulan came out of her trance and looked at Cheng Yang with confusion-filled eyes. In response, Cheng Yang pointed at the people who were looking in their direction with narrowed eyes and said
"See, how all of them are looking at you from up to bottom!"
Mo Roulan looked at the people who were indeed looking in their direction and specifically at her. However, her thoughts were different from Cheng Yang.
"They are not looking at me but you."
She said meaningfully.
"Yeah, it is me who is looking so beautiful in a white gown."
Cheng Yang said with a sweet smile on his lips sarcastically.
Mo Roulan smiled as she shook her head at his words. She understood what Cheng Yang meant to say but according to her, they were looking at her because they were curious why she came with him. He didn't know perhaps but Cheng's company's slow and steady process was enough to attract their attention towards him and hence towards her.
Still, she couldn't help but say
"But I am sure that you will look beautiful in a white gown. Do you want to try it out?"
She asked him as she looked at him with her eyebrows raised in a questioning manner. However, Cheng Yang didn't seem to mind her words and nodded his head thoughtfully and then he smiled suddenly and meaningfully as he said
"Well…if there is some great reward in return then I can try it out just for your sake."
Mo Roulan just smiled and didn't say anything. She had never thought that Cheng Yang could also flirt with her to this extent but in the past few days, she had come to know of many new things about him.
At the same time, she found how she had seemed to forget all her restlessness and the strange fear she had been feeling just because of this small talk with him.
Her hand around his arm couldn't help but tighten as if she was trying to gain some confidence as both of them stepped inside the engagement hall.
There were many people at the party. A few tried to talk to Cheng Yang but he didn't talk too enthusiastically with anyone.
'None of them was there when my mother needed help.'
He had told her and she understood the reason behind his indifferent behavior. She just supported him silently and talked the same way to the women or girls who came with those businessmen.
Everything was going just alright until she saw Shen Yiling walking inside the engagement hall with her family in a black colored gown.
In no less than a moment, Shen Yiling was the sole focus of everyone in the engagement hall.
She looked very beautiful. Mo Roulan had to accept that.
She looked away from Shen Yiling as she didn't want to pay much attention. She just wanted to sustain throughout the whole engagement and leave peacefully after it will end.
She noticed Shen Yiling looking at her as if the latter was searching for her only. However, Mo Roulan sighed in relief when she saw many girls surrounding Shen Yiling.
She tried to search for Shen Youlin amongst Shen family members but she didn't see her anywhere.
Disappointed, Mo Roulan moved to some other place with Cheng Yang.
However, she had taken just one step when the engagement hall was again in a great chaos.
Mo Roulan looked towards the entrance and her heart stopped beating for a moment when she saw He Jian standing at the entrance of the hall.
He Jian usually wore black business suits but today he was wearing blue colored tuxedo and he looked very handsome.
Mo Roulan couldn't move her eyes away from him for a moment but she knew that she had to.
As she tried to calm down her quick heartbeat, she heard Cheng Yang saying
"Should we go and have something, Roulan?"
Mo Roulan nodded her head and she quickly moved to some other place with Cheng Yang.
"I will go and use the restroom."
Almost half an hour later, Mo Roulan said to Cheng Yang.
"Ohh"
Cheng Yang whispered and put the glass in his hand down and said
"Let's go."
Mo Roulan looked at him in confusion and said
"Where are you going?"
"With you."
Cheng Yang said as if this was the weirdest question he has answered ever.
When he saw the confusion on Mo Roulan's face, he elaborated
"I can't really let you go alone. Do you even see how these people are looking at you? They would not leave the chance to surround you once I will leave you alone."
Cheng Yang sighed as he whispered in a somewhat helpless tone.
"Well, it is the suffering of having a beautiful girlfriend."
Mo Roulan shook her head feeling funny at his dramatic expressions and silently started to move ahead to find the washroom.
Cheng Yang immediately followed her.
Almost five minutes later, they found the washroom, and Mo Roulan went inside.
A few minutes later when she exited, she said to Cheng Yang
"Let's go."
However, Cheng Yang held her hand and said
"Your lipstick has spread a little."
Mo Roulan immediately took out her handkerchief and tried to wipe the spread lipstick. She didn't even look in the mirror while coming out in a hurry as Cheng Yang was waiting for her. She thought of going inside once and setting it right.
However before she could do so, Cheng Yang took the handkerchief from her hands and said
"Let me do it."
Mo Roulan stilled as Cheng Yang neared her and wiped the lipstick from the corner of her lips.
It took her a great effort not to step back but within a few seconds, she relaxed as Cheng Yang looked very focused on what he was doing.
However, a moment later, when he took the handkerchief in his other hand and then caressed the same spot with his fingers, her body went tight again.
She looked into his eyes slowly to find them focused on her own lips and he was slowly leaning down.
And she went completely rigid.
