The Seventh Day
The Seventh Day
Fortunately for her, he never tried to talk to her and she never would do the same. Sometimes, she would intentionally have dinner alone, early or sometimes late. However, breakfast she would still have to have with everyone else.
She was still dropped and picked up from the office by Cheng Yang and most of the time she would face He Jian while stepping inside Cheng Yang's car or getting out of the car at the building.
Mo Roulan would feel guilty though she didn't want to.
The only thing she learned during this week was that she was not ready for the relationship…at least not yet.
She was still controlled by He Jian for a large part indirectly. She should have first focused on making herself learn that she was now independent.
Soon, it was the seventh day and Sunday. The last day of the time Cheng Yang had requested for this relationship.
When Cheng Yang texted her to ask if they could go for a movie, Mo Roulan didn't refuse. In the evening, she even put a great effort into getting ready.
"Where are you going, Roulan?"
Mo Roulan halted amidst her steps when she heard her mother's voice from behind. She had been feeling fortunate that Shen Youlin was not here today. She got a call from her brother who asked her to stay at his mansion for at least the weekend.
However, she forgot her Mother in all this.
Mo Roulan bit her lips before she turned around. She smiled at her mother lightly.
"Mom, actually we have a small get-together. I am going to attend it."
Lin Qianru was immediately happy when she heard it.
"Ohh…why did you not tell me before? I would have bought you something."
"No need, Mom. I already have dresses."
Mo Roulan said immediately and Lin Qianru couldn't help but shake her head. Other girls say that they don't have enough clothes regardless of how much they have and her daughter …she seemed to be somewhat different.
However, she also knew that it was just because her daughter thought of collecting more money that would help them in the future instead of buying beautiful dresses for every other occasion.
Lin Qianru shook her head as she waved her hand to send Mo Roulan away.
"Go now. Don't say if you got late."
Mo Roulan smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.
She didn't feel good because she was lying. She turned around and left the apartment after making sure that the door was closed properly.
When she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Cheng Yang already waiting for her.
He smiled when he saw her. Mo Roulan could feel him checking her out silently and she did the same. He was a handsome boy and in a few years, she has no doubt that he will have a line of girls behind him which was already true for now as his company was seeing growth at a very fast rate.
So why could her heart not move at all by his sincere efforts!
Sometimes, she couldn't help but fear if she will spend this life of hers as well trying to move on from her one-sided love.
"You are looking beautiful."
Mo Roulan heard Cheng Yang saying when she approached him.
She smiled and responded playfully.
"You are also not looking bad."
Cheng Yang chuckled at the comment and said
"Fortunately."
After that, he opened the door of the car for her, and Mo Roulan sat inside the car.
He walked to another side after closing the door and soon the car left the building behind.
However, no one out of the two noticed how a big black car had been standing some distance away from Cheng Yang's car.
Just after Cheng Yang's car left, the black car also left the building premises …following the car in the front closely but carefully.

It was almost two hours later when Cheng Yang and Mo Roulan stepped out of the theatre.
They were holding hands as they talked about the movie that had just finished watching.
"Are you sure that they are going to break up today?"
Inside the car that was parked in front of the theatre, it was Liu Ji Fan who asked this question Fang Zhihan who glared at him and said
"I had clearly heard them talking about this."
Liu Ji Fan shook his head as he said
"Then have your ears checked. Do you even know how many hopes you have increased inside Old He's heart?"
Fang Zhihan stiffened. He remembered Chu Feng calling him to ask what exactly he told his boss that he was suddenly a little less cold than before.
He was afraid that he messed up.
Liu Ji Fan shook his head at Fang Zhihan's silence.
However, both of them frowned when they saw Mo Roulan and Cheng Yang walking past Cheng Yang's car in the opposite direction.
"Ha…they are going to break up."
Fang Zhihan spoke suddenly and confidently.
"Let me call Old He. He should not miss even a single second after this great opportunity."
Fang Zhihan took his phone out in excitement while Liu Ji Fan still looked suspicious.
He ignored Fang Zhihan and stepped out of the car to follow Cheng Yang and Mo Roulan. When Fang Zhihan noticed this, he also came out.
The phone was still on his ear.
The call connected and He Jian's cold voice came from the other side.
"Zhihan"
"Jian, come to the address I am sending you. You should be here to comfort Mo Roulan after she breaks up with Cheng Yang. You don't know but that will be the best time to win her heart."
Liu Ji Fan who heard Fang Zhihan's words shook his head while He Jian's cold voice came from the other side again.
"Zhihan, where are you?"
The question demanded an answer and Fang Zhihan answered casually.
"We are following your girl and her boyfriend. Now come here."
"Zhihan…"
He Jian's voice was filled with anger but Fang Zhihan didn't let him complete his words.
"Jian, you can show me your cold eyes later. Now come here."
After that, he cut the call and followed Mo Roulan and Cheng Yang with Liu Ji Fan.
