Chapter 226 - Do You Hate Me?

Mo Roulan was not surprised that much when she saw He Jian's car parked outside the building. But she was relieved to see He Jian sitting inside the car and he looked much better than yesterday. 

Fortunately, the people in the building also didn't talk much about her going to college in He Jian's car now.

The people in the city were perhaps like this only …busy in their own life.

She remembered the first day when she had got inside He Jian's car from the building, she had been worried that people in the building will talk and then her mother will come to know that she was going to the college in a stranger's car.

That was why she had asked He Jian to wait for her only inside his car from the first day. If they even came down together then the building people will be more suspicious.

However, now that her mother already knew that she was going to the college in He Jian's car, she didn't feel that she was doing anything wrong. With a free heart, Mo Roulan walked towards the car and opened the door of the back seat under the envious gaze of the girls who were standing just a few steps away.

Mo Roulan was too naïve to think that just because it was the city, no one will really put his nose in others' matters.

Regardless of if it was a town or a city, there always are present some people in our lives or around us who just like to poke their nose in our matters. 

"I suddenly wish that I was studying in the same college then I would also have been able to go there in his car. He is so handsome…damn. "

One of the girls said to the other.

The other hit her arm lightly and chuckled.

"For that, you either need to be as intelligent as her, or you should have the money to pay to study in such a big college."

The first girl knew that the other was saying right so she could only express her dissatisfaction with a pout as her parents didn't have that much money. However, another girl who was standing with them had her eyes bright after hearing the first girl's words.

"Yu Liling, what are you thinking?"

A girl shook her shoulder slightly when she saw her lost.

Yu Liling came out of her trance and shook her head with a light smile. No one could guess the thoughts inside her mind.

On the other hand, Mo Roulan sat inside the car and said happily

"Good Morning."

Chu Feng in the front seat smiled politely and wished her back. Even the driver who was sitting in the front enthusiastically turned to look at Mo Roulan and wished her the same.

For the driver who faced his cold boss during these long drives of dropping his boss to the office and then bringing him back, Mo Roulan was a big relief.

Because He Jian rarely got angry in presence of Mo Roulan.

Receiving the response of the two people in the front, Mo Roulan smiled brightly and then turned to look at the silent man beside herself only to find him looking at herself in a daze.

She raised her eyebrows and turned to look into the rearview mirror. There was nothing on her face to make him stare at her like that.

Before Mo Roulan could turn around to look at He Jian again, she was baffled to hear his words

"Do you hate me?"

Completely surprised Mo Roulan turned to look at He Jian wondering if he was really talking to her. However, when she saw that he was looking at her only as if waiting for her answer, she didn't know what to say.

Even Chu Feng and the driver who heard their boss' question didn't understand why their boss asked such a question suddenly. However, they pretended very well that they didn't hear anything and maintained a straight face.

The middle-aged driver even pressed the button in front of him and soon a partition separated the front seat from the back seat.

Now they could hear nothing from the back seat of the car.

Looking at his watch tied on the wrist, the driver started the car fearing that Mo Roulan will get late for college and his boss then will get angry at him. 

In the back seat, He Jian was still staring at Mo Roulan waiting for her to answer his question.

His blue eyes looked into her black-brown eyes. The same pair of eyes from his last night's dream flashed in his mind.       

Only now did He Jian understand why he had found that pair of eyes so familiar.

But was the girl in his dream really Lanlan?

He had actually wondered this when Mo Roulan had stepped inside the car and cheerfully greeted everyone a 'good morning'.

The same voice had told him in his dream.

'I hate you.'

And that's why he had blurted out this question without thinking. The dream had not left his mind since then and after seeing Mo Roulan's eyes and hearing her voice, He Jian was again feeling stuffy inside his chest. 

"Mr. He, what are you saying?"

Mo Roulan asked with a strange smile on her face.

Did she hate He Jian?

She did perhaps when she was reborn but not now.

"Just answer me."

He Jian said firmly.

Mo Roulan sighed lightly finding his behavior a little strange but nonetheless answered him.

"Of Course, I don't. Mr. He has helped me so much. Why would I hate you?" 

However, He Jian didn't feel any nice after hearing these words. That voice was not leaving his mind for even a moment. It was filled with so much pain that he could feel that pain piercing his chest.

Why did he have such a dream? He Jian wondered.

Was it any indication of his coming time?

But why would Lanlan hate him?

Was it because that he lied to her about not knowing her to bring in the prison only coming to her rescue when she called him? Or was it because he told her mother everything she was hiding from her?

He Jian's adam apple wobbled slightly when he thought so and he looked at Mo Roulan with a sudden realization as well as panic.

Then it would be better to tell her now and explain his reasons. He didn't like the feeling he had at that moment at all. 

"Lanlan…I wanted to tell you something. Actually I…"
