Chapter 404 "Why Can't I Love You"

404 "Why Can't I Love You"

Mo Roulan was completely startled by He Jian's actions. She felt He Jian's firm grip on her hand and then the determination in his voice. A heavy sigh escaped her lips as she knew that there was really no escape now. She raised her blank eyes to look at him and asked in confusion.

"What do you want to talk about?"

On the other hand, He Jian was equally startled and confused by Mo Roulan's question. Could she not know what he wanted to talk about after this morning?

However, he didn't even know that Mo Roulan never believed his words. Those three words that she heard under the falling cherry blossoms ...were still an illusion for her. Because He Jian saying these words to her could never be a reality. That was what Mo Roulan thought. He Jian sighed patiently. He was trying to understand Mo Roulan. She was very young and all this must be very new to her. But it was new for him as well. He was scared as well. Since that night when Shen Weisheng had told him that it could also be possible that Mo Roulan might not even accept her feelings, He Jian had been scared since then. He took a deep breath suppressing his fears. "Lanlan..."

There was a different kind of nervousness in the voice of always cold and indifferent man but Mo Roulan who was lost in her own thought could never hear it. She only looked at He Jian blankly as she felt his grip on her arms getting tighter. And then she heard those words that still made her heart race. "Lanlan, I love you."

He Jian looked at Mo Roulan with expectant eyes when he finished. But his eyes dimmed when Mo Roulan stepped away from him the next moment and suddenly covered her ears. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

He froze completely. It took him a moment to step forward and hold Mo Roulan.

"Lanlan...I know that it is too sudden..."

He Jian's could feel the sweetness of the said words inside his chest. He felt as if he would never get tired of saying this. Mo Roulan could feel a part of her heart slowly cowering inside her chest when she heard those words. "How...why?"

The words unconsciously escaped her lips as her eyes started to fill with new and fresh tears. He Jian smiled a little when he heard the question. His eyes were closed as he indulge himself in the sweet scent of the girl he loved. "That...I also wish to know. I also wish to know how you made me like this." So that I can do the same to you...so that I can make you love me the same way I love you

The words only stayed inside his heart because he stiffened when he suddenly felt something wet dropping on the back of his hand.

He opened his eyes abruptly. "Lanlan..."

He Jian's eyes were filled with distress when he saw that Mo Roulan's face was full of tears. "Why are you crying? Did I..."

Did he say something wrong?

However, Mo Roulan's next words didn't let him finish his words. "You can't love me."

He Jian's face went cold and he asked coldly.

"Why can't I?"

In response, however, Mo Roulan only shook her head lightly as more tears spilled out from her eyes and whispered softly. "You just can't."
