"Let's go."
The hand slided on her waist and Mo Roulan's whole body went stiff. He Jian who felt this looked at her with a gentle smile.
"Are you uncomfortable?"
Mo Roulan immediately nodded her head. What was wrong if she was feeling uncomfortable? She was a girl and she would not allow anyone to touch herself so casually.
Just as she was expecting him to remove his hand from her waist, the man spat out one word in her ear.
"Good"
'This dog man'
When she glared at him, he seemed amused.
He really wants to see all the thousand expressions she'll make.
Why is she so cute yet at the same time so cold?
How merciless she was to leave five years ago without even telling him.
He also felt very uncomfortable all these years thinking whether she was living well or not. He would wonder what she might be doing, whether she remembered him or not.
Let her also feel uncomfortable for a few moments. There was no harm.
After all, his heart was clear and pure. (Really!)
Then he turned around with Mo Roulan.
"Young Master He, I apologize for what your partner had to hear but please don't leave like this."
Mr. Song said but He Jian ignored him and walked out of there.
Shen Yiling almost ran forward to separate the two of them but Wang Zhilan held her at the right moment.
"Yiling, control your emotions. This banquet is very important for Shen family business. Youxin had already made it a mess. I don't want you to do any stupidity."
Wang Zhilan whispered in her ear.
Shen Yiling looked at her mother with red eyes.
"Mom, I have loved him for so many years. Can you even imagine how I am feeling right now? That girl is pricking my eyes like thorns."
Wang Zhilan patted her daughter's hand.
"Believe me, Mother can understand what you are feeling. But this is not the right time. What you were going to do will only send He Jian far away from you."
The words brought some sense in Shen Yiling's mind and she composed herself.
Her mother was right. Which man liked a clingy woman?
She nodded her head indicating to her mother that she was fine now and Wang Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Mo Roulan stepped out of the banquet hall, she stepped away from He Jian.
"Thanks to Mr. He for helping me but you needn't step in. I could have helped myself."
He Jian raised his eyebrows and said
"Oh…How if I may know, Miss Mo?"
Mo Roulan opened and closed her mouth but could find an answer to his question. After a few moments, she exclaimed
"My friend! I entered the mansion because of my friend. I would have found her."
When He Jian looked at her silently, she understood that her answer was not a perfect one.
Shen Youlin didn't arrive there even after so much time had passed. She didn't have any invitation card and You Youxin seemed to be determined to humiliate her.
So He Jian really helped her.
She sighed and accepted reluctantly.
"Thanks for the help."
As much as she wants to stay away from him, something would always happen that would involve both of them.
"I wonder how would Miss Mo repay me for all the help?"
'Who asked you to help in the first place?'
She wanted to say but what came out of her mouth was a very polite
"How would Mr. He like me to repay?"
A very fake smile lingered on her soft pink lips.
He Jian pretended to think and then said
"How about…."
Mo Roulan waited and the result was
"I tell Miss Mo some other time?"
Her lips twitched but she nodded her head politely.
"Sure."
Then she raised her foot to walk out of the mansion but He Jian stopped her again.
"Miss Mo can go with me. After all, our destination is the same."
The words seemed a little peculiar but Mo Roulan couldn't find out what was peculiar about them.
"No, thanks but I will not trouble Mr. He else you will add it also in your helping quota and then will demand me to repay you. I am just a poor college student, can't bear so the burden of your beneficiations."
He Jian chuckled at her words and whispered
"The kitten has sharp claws with a sharp mouth."
"Huh?"
Mo Roulan looked at him in confusion.
"Miss Mo doesn't need to worry. I will not count it as a favor."
Saying this, he walked towards the entrance. Just outside, a black colored car was parked with a driver standing outside waiting for his master.
Mo Roulan curled her lips in dissatisfaction. She followed him but after stepping outside the mansion's gates, she turned sideways instead of going straight towards the car.
She had taken just one step when
"Does Miss Mo know that we should try to use fewer transports to reduce the pollution?"
Mo Roulan turned to look at the man in confusion who was already looking at her with a very serious expression.
'Where did this come from suddenly?'
"The increasing pollution is the source of the increasing diseases. So many people are dying every day because of this. And Miss Mo is only contributing to it in her childishness. This is really disappointing."
Mo Roulan mouth parted to say something but the track of conversation didn't let her form any words.
'This…why does it suddenly feel that by not going with him, she was destroying the world because of her immaturity?"
She again looked at him and he was still looking at her with that same face.
"Miss Mo, please."
He opened the door of the back seat of the car and signed her to get inside. The blue eyes stared into her black ones.
In a daze, Mo Roulan nodded her head and sat inside the car.
It was only after the doors closed and the car started, Mo Roulan realized that the dog man had just fooled her.
