Chapter 69 - Stay Away From Me

Mo Roulan sat inside the car only to see the blue eyes fixed on her face as soon as she raised her head. She raised her eyebrow when she saw the 'Tell me everything' look on the man's face.

Then she ignored He Jian who was looking at her hands with a frown.

'Did she go to buy anything and couldn't buy because of the high price?'

He took out a black card from his pocket and forwarded it in front of her.

"You can go and buy anything you want."

Mo Roulan looked at the black card presented in front of her. Her eyes flickered with coldness and she said to him.

"Mr. He should know that you're nothing to me so I can't accept such a thing from you"

He Jian's gaze became very cold. 

'You are nothing to me.'

He took a deep breath and said to her gently.

"Roulan, don't be stubborn, okay? I want to take care of you since you saved me five years ago. Take this card and buy whatever you want."

Mo Roulan looked at the man coldly and said with a mocking smile on her lips.

"So that later you can accuse me of being a gold digger?"

He Jian was startled at her words and then came the confusion.

'Why would he do that?'

"Roulan, Did I do something wrong?"

He really can't remember if he has wronged her in any way not on the night of that five years ago and not after meeting her again.

However, she always seemed to be a little cold towards him.

The reason? He doesn't know.

This time it was Mo Roulan's turn to startle. She opened and closed her mouth to answer his question but nothing came out.

What could she say?

After all, he doesn't know what she knows.

She could only remain silent and turn her head to look out of the window.

The driver started the car when He Jian saw that Mo Roulan doesn't want to go back to the jewelry shop.

The car was filled with silence again.

Mo Roulan was again lost in her own thoughts and He Jian's phone continued to vibrate again and again.

One hour later, Mo Roulan noticed that the car was going back the way they had come.

She frowned and then looked at the man beside him.

"Mr. He, didn't you say that you need to go somewhere?"

He Jian's finger sliding the screen of phone paused and without glancing at Mo Roulan, he answered nonchalantly.

"Postponed."

Mo Roulan couldn't digest his answer. She stared at him for a few moments and then sighed in defeat.

"For how long do you know me?"

He Jian raised his head when he heard her and saw her looking out of the window. He couldn't see her expression.

"From the banquet at Shen."

He answered and Mo Roulan wondered just how he knew her at that time. That was their first meeting face to face.

"How?"

She mumbled and He Jian knitted his brows in confusion as he tried to answer her question.

"I don't know. I just knew that it was you when I saw you at that time."

His answer shook her heart somewhere. 

'I just knew it was you.'

She shook her head to push those weird thoughts out of her mind and turned to look at him.

"You don't need to feel that you need to pay me back just because I saved you. Wouldn't you have also saved me if you were in my place?"

Mo Roulan's eyes were very calm. She wanted to make He Jian understand patiently that he didn't need to pay back to her for anything.

After all, it was because of her they abducted him five years ago. So if she saved him, she just made the things right she had done wrong.

In her last life, she had not understood this thing.

That's why, when he sent his man to the orphanage to take her to the City S, she went there happily. They told her that the boy she saved five years ago was the Young Master of He family and from now on she would be under his care.

The excitement to meet the boy she had liked for five years made her forget she was responsible for the same kidnapping; he thinks she saved him from.

After that what started was a dream that she had never dared to dream.

And when the truth came out, the dream ended and a nightmare started.

She doesn't think that it was only He Jian who was to be blamed. It was her also who was responsible for her miserable life in the past.

She should not have accepted everything carelessly he gave to her. If she hadn't then she would not have become so dependent on him.

So dependent that when he abandoned her, she thought of killing herself.

How pathetic the love had made her!

Mo Roulan sighed deeply to calm her emotions down and then spoke.

"You would have done the same thing if you were in my place so you don't need to do all this."

"No"

He Jian refused indecisively.

He wouldn't have done the same thing. He Jian knew himself. His heart was cold and indifferent towards others. As long as they were not close to him, he didn't care about anyone.

That's why he was surprised when he had seen a girl who was younger than him saving him without even caring for her life.

Her single action had warmed his heart so much that he wanted to protect the girl for his whole life.

Mo Roulan could almost read his thoughts by his direct answer.

She rolled her eyes at the cold and indifferent man and said

"Then just assume that I am too soft-hearted. However, I will not accept any kind of help from you."

Saying this, she turned to look out of the window again but soon turned to look at him again with narrowed eyes.

"In fact, stay away from as much as possible. It would be a great help."

If he had done that then she would not have lost her job.
