Chapter 173 - Lin Qianru Doubts CEO He's Intentions

It was after a very long time, Mo Roulan and Mo Chen stopped laughing.

The brother and sister panted as they sat on the floor.

Mo Roulan glanced at her mother and saw her face. She smiled lightly and said

"Everything is alright, mom."

Lin Qianru still looked too shocked with everything she saw. However, she nodded her head at her daughter's words as she looked at her children with worried eyes.

A few moments later, as she saw Mo Roulan rubbing Mo Chen's face with her hands, she smiled softly and her heart felt at peace.

It would be a good thing if she can see them like this again in the future, right?

She had never seen them behave like this.

In fact, she had never seen her children fighting with each other or laughing out loud like this so this incident was very new for her.

Perhaps they knew that their life was different from other normal children and that they didn't have a complete family where they could act spoiled and hence they behaved like this.

And perhaps they didn't want her to worry about them so both of them had been very sensible since their childhood.   

Mo Chen had always been very obedient and never tried to disobey her and Mo Roulan. And her daughter she had …supported even her, a grown-up woman.

To Lin Qianru marrying her husband didn't leave any regret inside her heart ... it was only because of her two sensible children.

Both of them were pieces of her heart. They made her strong and forget the suffering she had gone through while raising them as a single mother.

"No…hahaha…not…again…pl..ease haha … Jiejie"

She came out of her trance when she heard Mo Chen's laughter again.

There she saw her son struggling to get out of her daughter's hold again as she tickled him making him laugh out loud.

Seeing how Mo Roulan's eyes were filled with mischief, Lin Qianru suddenly felt a little emotional.

She didn't stop her daughter when her son pleaded to her in between his laughter.

Let her enjoy. It was very rare for Mo Roulan to act like this.

A very soft smile could be seen on Lin Qianru's lips but only until her eyes fell on the figure standing in front of the elevator.

The smile left her lips when she recognized the man standing there.

He was looking at her daughter.

Seeing the gentles and adoration in those blue eyes as they looked at her daughter, Lin Qianru suddenly had a very bad premonition inside her heart.

He Jian… the man helped her daughter last time but she doesn't know why did he do this?

Who helps anyone without any reason in these days? thought Lin Qianru.

But what kind of reasons He Jian has for helping her daughter…she never even tried to find out.

The man probably felt her silent staring as he soon moved his eyes to look at her.

Surprise flashed in He Jian's eyes as he saw Lin Qianru looking at himself. He composed himself very soon and nodded his head in greeting.

Lin Qianru smiled tightly in response to his greeting.

She saw how he walked forward and then stopped by her daughter's side.

Looking at the laughing duo, He Jian's lips were pressed in a thin line. He effortlessly pulled Mo Chen out of Mo Roulan's hold who was startled by the change of events and looked at him with shocked eyes. 

He Jian frowned when he saw that she was still not getting up and said in his deep voice.

"Don't sit on the cold floor. You will get ill."

"Oh…" whispered Mo Roulan in a daze, however, still didn't get up from the floor.

It was only the next moment, she registered what He Jian said.

"Oh"

She said quite loudly and got up from the floor.

Then in the next moment, Mo Roulan felt very embarrassed about her actions. She didn't even meet He Jian's eyes who was continuously looking at her.

Behind Mo Roulan, Lin Qianru also frowned seeing this and called out to her daughter.

"Where did you go Roulan?"

Mo Roulan immediately turned around to look at her mother and said

"That mother…Mo Chen had a stomachache this morning so I took him to the hospital."

"Did he?"

Lin Qianru was immediately worried about her son and looked at him who was currently talking to He Jian happily.

"Hello, Big Brother Jian." 

Mo Chen called out in his cute voice.

However, the thing that was to be seen by anyone was He Jian's reaction to this greeting.

The man looked at Mo Chen for a few seconds and then awkwardly nodded his head. Perhaps he felt that he looked too awkward in front of the child so he generously took out his hand and ruffled Mo Chen's hair stiffly.

Mo Roulan almost laughed out loud when she saw his actions. Fortunately, at the last moment, she turned around again and covered her lips to muffle her laughter.

Even Lin Qianru had her lips pressed together as she saw this distraction.   

"Now he is fine mother. The doctor gave him the medicine."

Mo Roulan answered her mother after she was finally successful in stopping herself from laughing. 

Lin Qianru nodded her head softly and heard her daughter asking her

"Mother, you came early today."

"Yes, the restaurant will be closed for the next few days. I just returned and saw the empty apartment. I was worried and was about to call you. But I don't know what is wrong with my phone today so I had thought of going out and looking for you in the neighborhood. I was about to leave and then thought of putting a note for you to call me as soon as you come…and then I came out and saw you talking about calling the police."   

Lin Qinaru told her daughter in detail and Mo Roulan nodded her head.

Actually today Chi Rong left City H after having breakfast so Lin Qinaru also left Chi Mansion. The housekeeper told her that he will be back for the next few days and she will call her as soon as he comes back. 

"You should go and have something. I saw the left breakfast on the table. I think both of you didn't have anything since morning."

Lin QInaru told her daughter and Mo Roulan and Mo Chen immediately went inside as they were really feeling very hungry.

He Jian looked at the girl's back who didn't even look at him before leaving quietly.

The next moment, his sight was blocked by a figure.

"Mr.. He, I want to have some chat with you."
