He Jian Is At Mo Family Apartment Again
He Jian Is At Mo Family Apartment Again
There had not been much conversation between them after Cheng Yang had suddenly come up with the question regarding 'what will happen after break up?'
She felt guilty seeing how dim his eyes were but at the same time, she felt a little thankful that he was at least preparing himself for this.
They said bye with a forced smile on their lips and Mo Roulan left from there.
A few moments later, when Mo Roulan stepped inside her apartment, she was surprised to hear her mother's cheerful voice. Her mother had been looking a little listless since yesterday but now she sounded fine.
Mo Roulan smiled but the smile didn't stay for long because she soon heard her mother's words.
"Since Jian had come to have dinner after so many days, today I will prepare a big feast."
Mo Roulan halted amidst her steps completely. However, she was already inside the living room. Her eyes went to the single-seater couch placed in the living room and immediately met with a pair of blue eyes.
Her breath hitched.
She only came out of her trance when she heard her mother's voice.
"Roulan, you are here."
Lin Qianru stood up and walked to her daughter.
"Why are you coming so late these days?"
Lin Qianru looked at He Jian after completing her question and asked him
"Is that work more these days, Jian?"
Mo Roulan looked away from He Jian and lowered her head. Her eyes were filled with nervousness. What if He Jian told her mother that she was never in the office more than the office hours which was five in the evening.
"No, Auntie."
Mo Roulan exhaled sharply and closed her eyes preparing herself to face her mother's questions when she heard He Jian continuing
"But Lanlan wants to learn more so she stays for one extra hour and tries to understand new things."
Lin Qianru was very happy when she heard this.
She patted her daughter's cheek joyously and said
"Go and get fresh. You must be hungry. I will prepare the dinner soon."
Mo Roulan smiled but it didn't reach her eyes. She felt guilty for hiding the truth from her mother.
However, at this moment, she could do nothing except walk to her room to avoid the pair of eyes that she could feel on herself continuously.
Inside her room, Mo Roulan found Shen Youlin studying quietly.
She didn't dare to disturb Shen Youlin but at the same time, she felt a little surprised and disappointing on seeing how Shen Youlin only glanced at her once and then moved her eyes away.
It troubled her a lot but then she thought that Shen Youlin could be serious about the exams this time around and that's why she was behaving like this.
After she got fresh, Mo Roulan heard her mother calling her for the dinner.
Mo Roulan asked Shen Youlin to come along with her and both of them went after Shen Yulin closed the book.
Mo Roulan was nervous but she maintained a calm expression on her face as she stepped inside the dining room.
She never looked towards the chair He Jian was sitting on and silently sat on her own chair.
On the other hand, Shen Youlin was frowning deeply from the moment, she noticed He Jian inside the dining room. She even forgot her guilt for a moment and whispered in Mo Roulan's ears.
"This cold ice slab…Had he not stopped coming? What is he doing here today?"
"I don't know."
Mo Roulan answered nervously but she was relieved a little when she saw that Shen Youlin was still able to express her dislike for He Jian freely.
Everything must be normal then, she thought inside her heart.
Mo Chen was very happy when he saw He Jian. So happy that he sat beside He Jian.
"Hello, Brother Jian."
He greeted him with his back straight and very politely.
Lin Qianru and Mo Rulan found it somewhat strange while He Jian looked at him once deeply and then nodded his head.
"Hello, Mo Chen."
Mo Chen was very happy after seeing that he replied back.
The dinner passed peacefully to Mo Roulan's relief. After finishing, she intentionally left the dining room with her mother to wash the dishes in the kitchen.
However, when she stepped out of the kitchen and went to the living room with her mother, she sighed deeply on seeing that He Jian was still there.
He was sitting with Mo Chen.
Mo Roulan frowned as she looked at her brother. Other days he would not get out of his room unless she or her mother will ask him to and today …he was not going back to his room.
What kind of sudden attachment he got with He Jian suddenly!
Lin Qianru and she walked to the sofa where He Jian and Mo Chen were sitting and Mo Roulan saw that He Jian was explaining something to her brother.
Standing behind them, Lin Qianru shook her head and reprimanded her son.
"Chenchen, if you are not getting anything then you can ask your sister to explain it to you. Why are you disturbing Jian? He must be tired after doing so much work in the office."
"It's alright, Auntie."
He Jian said politely and his eyes then went to Mo Roulan who was standing beside her mother and was trying her best to avoid meeting his eyes.
He Jian's eyes narrowed but he looked away very soon.
On the other hand, Lin Qianru was still frowning deeply while looking at her son who lowered his head silently. Mo Roulan suddenly felt her mother holding her hand and pushing her towards the sofa.
"Roulan you go and explain whatever he wants to understand."
Mo Roulan could only sigh and sit on the sofa beside Mo Chen.
Mo Chen was seated between him and He Jian.
Mo Roulan took the book from Mo Chen's hands. However, a few moments passed as she continued to look at the book, but she never opened her mouth to say anything.
Lin Qianru frowned looking at this scene and asked her daughter.
"Roulan, what's wrong? Explain it to Chenchen."
However, Mo Roulan raised her head. Her cheeks were red because of the embarrassment as she shook her head and said
"Mom, I am not understanding anything."
