403 "I Won't Let You Avoid Me"
The door of the office opened and Chu Feng peeked inside his office. Everyone inside the office raised their heads to look at him except Mo Roulan who seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. Though her eyes stayed on the documents in her hand, her mind was somewhere else. It was only when Chu Feng called out her name.
"Miss Mo"
She came out of her trance. Mo Roulan flinched lightly before raising her head to look at Chu Feng. "Boss is calling you inside the office."
Hearing these words, everyone else concentrated on their own works while Mo Roulan had blank eyes. Looking at the file placed in front of her, she suddenly picked it up and gave it to Chu Feng. "Assistant Chu, Mr. He must be asking for this file. Please give it to him."
It was not the first time Chu Feng has come to look for Mo Roulan today. He had come before too but every time, Mo Roulan would give him some files and made him return to He Jian's office. However, this time Chu Feng looked a little awkward as he told Mo Roulan. "Miss Mo, Boss is asking you to come to his office right now."
Mo Roulan's hands clenched around the file she was holding. In his office...she needed to go there. She swallowed audibly before she slowly started to get up from her chair. She didn't really want to go to He Jian's office. She still needed time to clear her mind. She still needed to digest that whatever she heard in the morning was really right.
In the morning, Mo Roulan had literally pushed away He Jian after hearing those words. Clutching the left side of her chest with her hand, she had somehow controlled her fast-beating heart inside the elevator that took her to the floor where her office was. Now she had to face him again.
With a helpless heart and mind, she could only step forward and step inside the office. .

He Jian immediately raised his head when he heard the sound of the door being opened. He saw that the door was slightly opened but no one stepped inside. A frown marred his forehead when he didn't see anyone for the next few moments. He thought that this time also, Mo Roulan had given some file to Chu Feng in order to avoid him. The next moment, he stood up from the chair and started to walk towards the slightly opened door. He would go to her table if she would not come here. He was just near the door when a figure stepped inside the office and bumped against his chest. "Omph..."
He Jian heard a groan and then a sweet scent filled his nostrils. A smile suddenly spread on his lips as he knew who it was. With one hand, he closed the door. When Mo Roulan didn't raise her head, he got worried and asked with distress in his voice.
"Lanlan, are you alright?"
Mo Rooulan finally raised her head and He Jian felt his breath stopping when he saw her slightly most eyes. Perhaps she bumped her nose against his chest as it looked a little red. Even her hand was on it and her eyes were slightly teary. She looked like a cute little bunny. He Jian was surprised at his own thought and wondered just when did he start to think that the bunnies were cute. Perhaps it was when he realized his feelings for Mo Roulan. He smiled lightly as he stepped closer to Mo Roulan if it was possible. With one of his hand, he removed her hand from her nose and tried to rub it for her. However, his fingers had just touched her, when Mo Roulan flinched and stepped away from him as if she got scalded. He Jian's eyes went blank. The office was filled with an awkward silence and Mo Roulan immediately felt the surrounding temperature dropping. Her heart was beating very fast inside her chest and she didn't know what she should say or do. What was expected from her after today's morning? But she didn't even want to talk about that? It was after a few moments, she heard He Jian's voice which was very different from how gentle it was before. "Lanlan, this morning..."
Mo Roulan's heart sank and she interrupted He Jian before he could complete his words. "Mr. He, what did you call me here for? Is it to discuss some new project? I forgot to bring my notebook and pen. Please give me a minute. I will go back and bring it. " Mo Roulan said and turned to leave the office in hurry. However, behind her, He Jian frowned deeply. When he saw Mo Roulan leaving again just like she had left in the morning, his frown went deeper and he swiftly held her wrist. He forcefully made her turn around. Looking into her shocked eyes, he said strictly. "You are not going anywhere now! I am not going to let you avoid me."
