CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

He Jian was very excited.

So excited that he didn't even notice Mo Roulan's strange behavior. He didn't notice her silence and her pale face. Excited like a child, he suddenly held Mo Roulan's wrist and started to walk towards the entrance of the building slowly.

The security guard who was guarding the entrance was the same. 

Mo Roulan recognized him at one glance. She noticed how he looked at He Jian and her with shock-filled eyes. His eyes stayed on her longer and Mo Roulan didn't know why she suddenly expected him to say that he had seen her before too.

It took a long moment to register that she was in her present now. That phase of her life had passed and it was remembered by her only, not anyone else.

"Young Master He"

The security guard saluted He Jian.

He was left baffled again when He Jian actually looked towards him and nodded his head in acknowledgment. Though his face was still indifferent, the security guard was still shocked. This had never happened before. He used to greet He Jian before too. However, every time, He Jian would pass by with a cold and indifferent face. 

He watched Mo Roulan carefully once more and noted inside his mind carefully. He could feel that he was going to see this girl more in the future and he didn't want to offend her seeing how his boss was personally taking her inside the He Corporation.

With blank eyes, Mo Roulan looked at the front as they stepped inside the building.

Her eyes stared at the employees who were passing by her.

They too stared at her.

But why?

It was Mo Roulan first who moved her eyes away. She looked at He Jian. Her eyes then went down to her hand that was held by He Jian's.

Her hand instantly went colder than before and she understood. 

Mo Roulan unconsciously tried to feel her hand. However, He Jian looked towards her when he felt her movement.

The excitement from his eyes vanished as he held Mo Roulan's hand more firmly but felt how cold they were.

He stared at Mo Roulan for a few seconds as he stopped walking. When he saw her looking in the front, he suddenly understood something. 

He stepped closer to Mo Roulan without even noticing how this action of his attracted more curious gazes.

Mo Roulan felt his closeness and looked at him with a startled expression on her face. She had wanted to step back but He Jian was holding her hand firmly.

"Lanlan, don't be nervous. I am always here for you. No one will dare to bully you here."

One of his hands even went to pat Mo Roulan's head gently and Mo Roulan lowered her head silently.

She knew what He Jian was talking about, He was thinking that she was nervous regarding her internship in He Corporation.

However, her fear was completely for something else.

As they moved forward still hand in hand, Mo Roulan suddenly wondered what he was thinking exactly.

Clearing her throat, Mo Roulan said to He Jian in a low voice.

"Mr. He, we should not go inside like this."

He Jian turned to look at her with a frown on his forehead again and asked

"Why?" 

Mo Roulan's despair vanished suddenly seeing the genuine confusion on He Jian's face. She was speechless.

Could he not feel their curious gazes?

"They will think something wrong."

She signed He Jian to look at the front as she said this.

He Jian also look at the front and his eyes went cold when he saw people looking at them curiously. On the other hand, all those people immediately averted their gazes when they saw He Jian looking in their direction.

In no less than a minute, the large hall just after the entrance gates got empty as everyone started to leave under He Jian's cold and indifferent gaze.

He Jian looked back at Mo Roulan again who was watching all this speechlessly.

"Is it alright now?"

He asked Mo Roulan who looked at him with a parted mouth.

What was alright?

She thought as they started to walk forward again…hand in hand. They stepped inside the elevator while Mo Roulan thought that she chose the wrong words.

The problem was not what people will think.

The problem was that they should not be walking like this in the first place…like how lovers walked beside each other holding each other hands.

After all, they were not one.   

"Mr. He…"

Mo Roulan had wanted to say something but at this moment, He Jian's phone started ringing and she swallowed whatever she was going to say.

The touch on her hand felt suddenly more prominent thing she could feel at this moment.

She saw how he took out his phone from the pocket of his pants but never left her hand. He didn't even answer the call and let the phone ring for the next few moments.

Until the elevator stopped moving and the door opened.

Mo Roulan looked at the front.

At this moment, she finally let out the question that was occupying a big part of her mind.

"I…I am really going to intern in He Corporation …but why?"

He Jian who was staring at the screen of his phone froze suddenly. He raised his head slowly and looked at Mo Roulan.

She was already staring at him in confusion.

The clean black eyes filled with confusion made him look away from her as he remembered why he had asked Chu Feng to talk about this matter with Principal Lin.

He didn't want Mo Roulan to go to Cheng Mansion every day and hence he did so. And she really left her tutoring job. 

But Mo Roulan didn't know this. 

He Jian cleared his throat before he said without looking into Mo Roulan's eyes.

"Principal Lin talked to me about this. He wanted the students to have some experience through an internship so I offered him this."

"Oh…."

Mo Roulan lips formed an 'o' as both of them stepped out of the elevator while He Jian smiled seeing her face.

She looked silly but cute as her ponytail swayed here and there and her lips formed that shape.

He couldn't wait to show her his office…the place he worked from. 

And just like that, the guilt of lying to Mo Roulan vanished from He Jian's heart and he was again very excited to show Mo Roulan his office.
