He Jian's face was emotionless as he stared at Mo Roulan. His cold blue eyes stared at her face without blinking.
Mo Roulan couldn't even move her away from him as he suddenly sat down on the edge of the bed and said to her strictly.
"You can't do any such thing again, Lanlan. Promise me."
The cold man even stretched out his hand like a young child demanding a promise from Mo Roulan who found it a little strange.
He Jian really didn't seem to like that Mo Roulan didn't promise him immediately.
His cold blue eyes stared at Mo Roulan sharply as he said
"If you will not promise me then I will put four bodyguards around you who will follow you everywhere. They will monitor and will also stop you from doing any such thing again."
Mo Roulan's eyes went wide in disbelief. She suddenly imagined herself being accompanied by those four masculine guards as she walked around the college.
How embarrassing that would be.
A moment later, she asked He Jian with narrowed eyes.
"You will not do any such thing."
He Jian raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Roulan who was behaving childishly without saying anything.
"He will."
Mo Roulan was surprised when she suddenly heard a familiar voice supporting He Jian. The surprising thing was that this voice belonged to none other than her mother.
"Mom…"
However, Lin Qianru raised her hand to stop Mo Roulan from saying anything.
Her eyes were sharp but they were also filled with tears. Mo Roulan could even see the redness and swell around them and she understood that her mother must be crying when she went to take her clothes from the balcony.
Mo Roulan felt guilty seeing her mother like this.
"Roulan"
Lin Qianru spoke suddenly.
"I am not saying that helping others is bad but risking your life in that process is also not good."
Lin Qianru finished her words and suddenly felt that there might be something wrong with them. From the corner of her eyes, she glanced at He Jian to see if he minded her words.
After all, Mo Roulan had also saved him by putting her life in danger.
However, He Jian seemed to understand Lin Qianru's thoughts and he even said politely.
"I agree with Auntie. I appreciate that Lanlan saved me five years ago, however, I will never want to put her life in danger even if it is to save me again."
Lin Qianru's eyes brightened hearing these words and she couldn't help but look at He Jian softly. On the other hand, Mo Roulan was now looking at He Jian with wide eyes.
'What did he just say?'
'Saved me five years ago?'
Mo Roulan quickly moved her eyes to her mother and saw that she doesn't look confused at all.
Her back suddenly went cold.
Lin Qianru glanced at Mo Roulan and when she saw her expression, she laughed humorlessly and said
"What? Do you think that if you will not tell me anything then I will not get to know? Always remember that I am your mother."
Lin Qianru said as she put her hand on her waist and looked at her daughter with narrowed eyes.
Mo Roulan swiftly turned her head to look at He Jian and asked in disbelief.
"It is you who told my mother, right?"
He Jian didn't look afraid at all as he nodded his head expressionlessly.
Mo Roulan was angrier seeing this and she couldn't stop herself from shouting.
"How can you …ah…"
Mo Roulan wanted to raise her hand and point her finger at He Jian's face. However, in this process, she forgot that she was heavily injured and she cried out when she felt pain in her elbow from where it was scratched.
"Ah…Mom…"
At this moment, Lin Qianru suddenly forgot that she was angry with her daughter. Hearing her cry in pain, she immediately stepped forward while He Jian who also was about to go to Mo Roulan had to take a step back seeing this.
He could only stand there with clenched fists as he saw Lin Qianru blowing some air on Mo Roulan's wound and reprimanding her at the same time.
However, he was relieved to see that Mo Roulan was not crying any longer.
The doorbell of the apartment rang again at this moment. Lin Qianru knew that she had to go out to open the door again. As she stood up from the bed she patted her forehead and looked at He Jian apologetically.
"Jian, I was so worried for Roulan that I forgot that your grandfather was still sitting in the living room. What must he be thinking?"
However, He Jian shook his head and said politely
"Aunt doesn't need to worry about this. He doesn't get angry easily and he will also understand Auntie's problem."
Standing at the door of Mo Roulan's room, Grandfather He looked happy when he heard his grandson's words. It was only Butler Zhang who was standing behind his master almost rolled his eyes at his Young Master's lies.
'If the old man doesn't have temper then there don't exist sane people in this world anymore.'
However, He Jian was not finished yet and with his next words, he soon made Grandfather He's proud face fall.
"My Grandfather is a free person and doesn't have anything to do. I don't believe that he will not come here again after knowing that I just live in the next apartment. He can come here anytime he wishes. At this moment, Mo Roulan is more important."
Grandfather He glanced at his butler who was snickering under his palm and was immediately furious.
He immediately went inside the room without even knocking on the door and said
"Stinky boy, who said that I have nothing to do? How dare you talk about your grandfather like that?"
Lin Qianru and Mo Roulan were completely left startled by this grand entry of Grandfather He.
The old man's face was so red because of anger that both of them thought that he could even squeeze out blood from it.
Who said that he doesn't get angry so easily?
He Jian, on the other hand, was looking at his Grandfather indifferently and asked
"So what do you do the whole day?"
And there goes Grandfather He's anger down as he tried to think of some work he did the whole day except eating, sleeping, shouting, and ordering his butler around.
