During the whole ride on the bus, Mo Roulan was lost in her own thoughts.
Although she had expected that there was something more behind Cheng Yang's aloofness she had never expected something like this.
His blank eyes and his trembling voice when he was telling her the story kept revolving in her mind.
After Cheng Yang finished, she really didn't have anything to say to him.
What could she say?
It wasn't your fault.
Would Cheng Yang believe her words?
No. Because in his eyes, he will always remain responsible for his father's death.
Only now, Mo Roulan understood why she felt the sudden attachment with Cheng Yang when she had seen him for the first time.
Cheng Yang gave her the same feeling she had felt when she had come to know that she had lost Mo Chen in her past life.
Somewhere she felt that if she had not abandoned Mo Chen in her last life then she would have been able to save him even if it would have cost her own life.
It was her fault because Mo Chen was her responsibility.
Till today, Mo Roulan couldn't forgive herself for that.
She had got a new chance to make up for the mistakes she had done in her past life but Cheng Yang didn't get any chance.
No wonder he couldn't talk to his mother because he found himself responsible for snatching her husband from her who loved her so much.
When she reached the apartment, Mo Roulan took a deep breath before opening the door. She put on a fake smile on her lips as she stepped inside.
Her mother was in the living room looking at something in her hand.
"Mom"
She called out when she felt that her mother had not noticed her presence.
"Huh?"
Lin Qianru was startled and raised her head abruptly. Seeing Mo Roulan, she put down the card under the pillow.
"Roulan, when did you come?"
"Just now, where were you lost?"
"Nowhere"
Lin Qianru smiled nervously. Fortunately, Mo Roulan didn't notice her mother's nervousness because she was looking around the living room.
"Where is Youlin? Is she in the room?"
She asked her mother when she couldn't see Shen Youlin anywhere.
Lin Qinaru knitted her brows for a moment and then said
"Youlin….Ah…she had told me that she was going out when I was cooking in the kitchen."
Mo Roulan who was about to sit down on the couch immediately stood up straight.
"Going out? Where?"
Lin Qianru was a bit surprised after seeing her daughter's reaction but answered
"I don't know about that. She didn't tell me."
After all, she was not Shen Youlin's mother and she doesn't have any right to invade her privacy so how could she ask Shen Youlin that where she was going out.
"How long has it been since she had left?"
"One hour…I think."
Mo Roulan heart was filled with worry. She immediately picked her bag and said to her mother while going out.
"I'll be back in sometime."
And after that, she left the apartment leaving Lin Qianru confused and shouting for her daughter.
--------------
Mo Roulan entered the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor. She was really exhausted after a long day and really wanted to rest for some time but the worry for Shen Youlin made her forget her exhaustion.
She got out of the elevator but when she was about to step out of the building she saw a familiar car stopping in front of the building.
It was Shen Youlin's car.
Sure enough, the door opened and Shen Youlin got out.
Mo Roulan stood still as she saw Shen Youlin coming out and asking the driver to reach the building with the car the next morning.
She saw a black purse in Shen Youlin's hand. Her eyes didn't move away from that purse until Shen Youlin turned around and called her in surprise.
"Roulan.."
Mo Roulan raised her head to look at Shen Youlin as she walked towards her.
"What are you doing here?"
Mo Roulan smiled tightly and said
"I was going to look for you. Mo didn't even know where you went, perhaps you didn't tell her so I was worried."
Shen Youlin felt so happy after hearing Mo Roulan's words that she hugged her tightly in her arms.
"You care so much for me. Thank you."
Since Mo Roulan was feeling a little panicked and emotional, she couldn't stop her arms from hugging Shen Youlin back.
"Where did you go?"
Shen Youlin was silent for a moment and then she said
"I went to buy something important."
And Mo Roulan eyes dimmed after hearing her answer. She left her and stepped back. Turning around, she walked towards the elevator and said
"Let's go now."
However, she didn't notice Shen Youlin looking at her back with knitted brows.
-----------------
The car stopped and the driver came out. He opened the door of the back seat and Li Ji Fan stepped out from the car.
Smoothening the nonexistent creases on his suit, he walked towards the entrance of the large restaurant.
The security guard saluted him as he entered inside.
Following him was his secretary, Ni Xuan who told him.
"Boss, second floor, Room No. 2"
Li Ji Fan coldly grunted in acknowledgment and was about to walk towards the stairs when his eyes suddenly caught a familiar figure in the crowd of sitting people.
His eyes narrowed and he frowned coldly.
'What was this little b**t**d doing here? Didn't he go home straight from the office?'
But the next moment his eyes fell on the girl who was sitting in front of him. The girl was smiling brightly and Tian Yuan was reciprocating her smile with a small one.
The coldness in his eyes suddenly seemed to have increased.
Ni Xuan felt the sudden change and was confused. He looked around the large hall but didn't find anything strange.
He coughed hesitatingly and whispered
"Boss, we're getting…."
But he couldn't complete his sentence when those cold eyes fell on him.
Liu JI Fan raised his eyebrows questioningly who vigorously shook his head as if saying 'I am dumb. I didn't say anything.'
With displeasure written all over his face, Liu Ji Fan turned his head back to where he was looking.
His eyes became sharp and his fist clenched when he saw the girl holding Tian Yuan's hand.
If it was possible he wished to stab her hand right at that moment.
His Tian Yuan, who dares to touch him except him?
No longer being able to see such an eye-stabbing scene, he took out his phone and dialed the number that was saved under the name of 'Baby Yuan'.
A few seconds later, he saw Tian Yuan taking his phone out of his pocket and then putting it back as if nothing happened. After that, he continued to chat with the girl as if nothing happened.
Seeing all this, Liu Ji Fan tsked and smiled coldly.
"Yuan baby seems to have become very bold."
Ni Xuan was startled when he saw his boss turning in the wrong direction and walking inside the large hall.
"Boss"
He called out but Liu Ji Fan continued walking.
Liu Ji Fan walked elegantly in long strides. The people who were sitting in the dining room couldn't help but raise their heads and look at him once or twice but his eyes didn't move away from Tian Yuan.
There was always a smile present on his lips.
When he reached near the chair, Tian Yuan was sitting on, he stopped.
The girl who was talking to him raised her head to look at him in confusion but Tian Yuan was still looking at her with a small smile.
Seeing his actions, Liu Ji Fan felt more furious.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed Tian Yuan's head from his back to make him look at his face.
With wide eyes full of shock, Tian Yuan looked at him.
"What…"
However, just as he opened his mouth to ask him what he was doing, Liu Ji Fan covered his mouth…with his lips.
Various gasps were heard in the huge hall. The girl who was sitting in front of Tian Yuan stood up from her chair in shock.
The young secretary, Ni Xuan, almost stumbled and fell down on the ground as he saw boss kissing a young man fervently.
But Liu Ji Fan didn't care.
He kissed Tian Yuan as if he was kissing him for one last time. He sucked, bit, and did everything he ever wanted to do with those soft pink and full lips.
He could Tian Yuan pushing him away with his hands but he held him tightly.
Until he felt that it was difficult for Tian Yuan to breathe, he didn't leave him.
Tian Yuan was panting heavily. His whole face was flushed red and his legs didn't have any strength to stand so Liu Ji Fan very generously let him lean in his arms.
Looking at the shocked girl with red eyes, he felt very satisfied.
He held Tian Yuan's waist possessively and said sensually
"Baby, are you cheating me behind my back?"
