Chapter 222 - Cheng Yang Was Not Ready To Let Go Just Like That

That night, Cheng Yang could not tell Mo Roulan what he wanted to tell her.

Standing inside the garden alone, Cheng Yang opened the small box in his hands. Inside it lay a beautiful ring that had a small diamond on it.

That ring …he had bought it for Mo Roulan.

Today he had wanted to propose her and ask her if she wanted to be his girlfriend.

'Will she really never come back?'

Cheng Yang could not help but wonder inside his heart. With blank eyes, he looked at the exit of the garden.

During these past few months, Mo Roulan has become a constant part of his life. Such a special part that even though now he had already covered all the syllabus of his high school and was even ready to give college entrance exam in the next few days, he still wanted Mo Roulan to come to Cheng Mansion to tutor him every day.

After all, only by that, he would be able to see her every day.

Other than that, what other excuse he had!

He remembered how he had been restless when Mo Roulan could not come to Cheng Mansion for a few days in this month.

He almost went to her apartment to see her but at the end moment, the little bit of rationality left inside him stopped him from doing that.

It was only yesterday when Mo Roulan told him that she was leaving the tutoring job, did he come to understand that he no longer can't do without Mo Roulan. 

And that's why he decided to confess his feelings to her.

Cheng Yang was even ready to wait and pursue Mo Roulan if she had refused him. He had made all the arrangements.

However, he had never thought that a phone at the last moment, a phone call will make all of his arrangements waste.   

With cold eyes and lips pressed in a thin line, he closed the box in his hands.

'He Jian…it was him who made Mo Roulan leave like that.'

A fire with some pain seemed to be there inside his heart.

It must be because Mo Roulan feel indebted to him as he helped her that day when she was in prison, so she couldn't refuse him.

He could understand her.

However, he was now more determined to become more powerful than He Jian…so powerful that he can repay everything that He Jian had given to her so that she will not feel indebted to him anymore.

And then he will tell her about his feelings.

Cheng Yang had liked only one girl in his whole life and he would not just let her go like this.

On the other hand, He Jian 's car finally reached the building.

He and Mo Roulan stepped out of the car when the car stopped in front of the building followed by Chu Feng who told his boss that he needs to buy a few medicines Fang Zhihan had told him and hence will come back in a few minutes.

He Jian let Chu Feng go while he and Mo Roulan walked towards the elevator.

The driver drove away the car to park in the parking.

The building was unusually silent and the silence only increased inside the elevator. Mo Roulan looked at He Jian standing beside her and didn't understand why he was standing so close to her when there was so much space inside the elevator.

She could even smell the manly cologne from his body.

Didn't he dislike other people invading his personal space?

She glanced at He Jian again and then silently took a step sideways. A sigh full of relief escaped her lips when she saw that her actions had gone completely unnoticed from He Jian's eyes.

However, she never noticed how He Jian's blue eyes flickered when she stepped away from him. Annoyance flashed through the blue eyes but he didn't say anything and continued to stand at the same spot. 

Fortunately, the elevator soon reached the floor they needed to go to so Mo Roulan didn't feel that awkward.

As soon as the door opened Mo Roulan stepped out of the elevator making He Jian look at her with raised eyebrows.

Was he some sort of plague for her to act like this?

Mo Roulan smiled awkwardly when she turned around and saw his expression.

"I …I need to use the restroom."

She mumbled an excuse and immediately ran to the door of her apartment without hearing if He Jian had something to say in response.

He Jian chuckled in a deep voice when he looked at her disappearing back.

She didn't look any different from the running kitten.

Thinking this, he stepped out of the elevator and walked towards his own apartment.

"From your face, it seems like you have managed the matter."

The softness in He Jian's eyes vanished immediately when he heard the familiar voice as soon as she stepped inside his apartment.

There sat Fang Zhihan on the dining table that was placed just in front of the kitchen munching on an apple.

He took a big bite from the apple before he said

"Jian…I wonder how you are living in this small apartment living your so huge mansion?"

He Jian didn't even glance in his direction as he walked forward and removed his coat. Throwing it on a single couch, he sat on the other and leaned against the headrest with his eyes closed.

Exhaustion could be seen very clearly on his face.

He wanted to rest.

However, how could he do so in Fang Zhihan's presence? 

The next moment, Fang Zhihan was by his side and said

"Do you want to have some?"

Without opening his eyes, He Jian knew that he must be forwarding his half-eaten apple to him even after knowing very well that he doesn't like to eat anyone's leftover.

"Take it away from me if you don't want to be thrown out."

Fang Zhihan tsked as he took away the apple and took another bite.

No matter sick or healthy, this man stays cold and indifferent every day of every year.

"I suddenly miss Ji Fan."

He whispered to himself and then swiftly turned his head around to look at He Jian.

"Hey…did that really happen?"

He Jian opened his eyes and his blue eyes were now colder and sharper than before. Fang Zhihan got his answer.

"Ha…"

He laughed loudly and slapped his thigh as he said

"Haven't I told you?"

Fang Zhihan smirked as he leaned against the couch's headrest comfortably while munching on the apple and remembering the scene from an hour ago.
