CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 185 - CEO He Demands Something Unexpected

"Lanlan, come inside the car."

A deep voice said but no response came except for the sound of footsteps echoing through the deserted roads.

"Lanlan, are you still angry?"

No response came again.

"Lanlan…"

The sound of the footsteps echoing through the empty roads finally stopped. The black car athat was driving at a slow speed also stopped instantly. 

Mo Roulan sighed and turned to look at the car walking by her side.

The evening breeze flowed silently making her hair blow lightly with the flowing breeze.

"Mr. He"

Mo Roulan said as she looked at the man through the car window sitting inside the car.

"Whatever I said to Grandf…"

After seeing the old man's cold behavior for herself, Mo Roulan didn't want to call him Grandfather at all.

Which Elder behaved like this?

Mo Roulan still remembers how the old man was glaring at her when she exited the room. So she corrected her words.

"Whatever I said to Old Master He was indeed true and whatever I had told you in front of the Cheng Mansion was also true."

Inside the car, He Jian blue eyes narrowed for an infinitesimal second but he soon composed himself. With a small and innocent smile on his lips, the CEO He shamelessly pretended to be dumb and asked

"What are you talking about, Lanlan? What did you tell me in front of the Cheng Mansion?"

Perhaps He Jian had expected Mo Roulan  to change her words the second time just like she did in front of Cheng Mansion but what he didn't know was that the situation now was very different from before.

Now Mo Roulan actually experienced something that she had done in her past life also and that triggered her to break every relation with He Jian again.

'That kind of girls' might really exist…Mo Roulan didn't know at all.

But she was not one of them. She just wanted to live a peaceful life with her family.

"I don't want anything from you."

Mo Roulan whispered breathlessly.

The ignorance in He Jian's eyes immediately went away. A small frown marred his forehead as his blue eyes flashed with concern. He opened the door of the car and stepped out.

"Lanlan…"

He Jian whispered as he tried to step towards Mo Roulan but Mo Roulan instantly backed away. The frown on He Jian's forehead deepened.     

"Mr. He, let's part ways from here. I helped you and you also helped me…we are on equal terms now. Let not interfere in each other life again."

He Jian's face instantly went hard.

"We shall not do any such thing." He said coldly and now Mo Roulan was looking at him with a frown.

"I can understand if you are angry. Whatever my grandfather did was very wrong and I assure you that he will never dare to do any such thing again. But you can't go back on your own words. Didn't you say that now you will accept my care? I just… "

Mo Roulan suddenly pressed her temple and interrupted He Jian amidst her words.

"What care?"

Looking into He Jian's cold blue eyes fearlessly, she whispered.

"What kind of care you are talking about? Because from what I can see is you just want to control my life…"

Mo Roulan was also left startled by the words she said. So as soon as she completed her words, she suddenly went silent. 

She stepped back as she panted while He Jian looked at the loss of what to say suddenly. 

"When did I try to control you?"

He Jian asked

Mo Roulan really wished to stay silent and didn't want to elongate this matter anymore. However, her heart was filled with so much fury that she couldn't find anyone else except He Jian to vent.

"Yesterday, when Shen Weisheng was allowing me to call him brother …then why did you stop me from doing that? I can understand that he is your friend but still if he is giving me permission to do that then you don't have any right to stop me from doing that. And….and I really disliked the way you dragged me away inside the car."

Mo Roulan finished looking into He Jian's eyes as she panted continuously. However, the question that came from the other side made her wear an incredulous expression on her face.

"You want to call Shen Weisheng 'Brother'."   

The cold man asked coldly as Mo Roulan suddenly doubted the three-point of view of the world.

From which point of view she said that she wanted to call Shen Weisheng 'Brother' …and she said so much but did he pick only those words from all that?

She ….didn't know what she should say.

Actually, she knew that it was not He Jian's fault. It was her fault that she let him control herself yesterday. She should have questioned him at that moment when he had tried to stop her from doing anything. However, she couldn't do that because …she was still weak in front of He Jian.

However, today when Grandfather He suddenly asked her to get out of He Jian's life saying that she was affecting his life in a very bad way, Mo Roulan suddenly wondered exactly whose life was getting affected with their involvement.

He Jian was powerful …he could manage everything. He could even manage her life just like he did in her past life.

She lived completely in his control in her past life. From what she will wear to from what she will read …everything was in his control. But at that time, she used to like that.

It used to make her feel special because she didn't have anyone to care for her like that after her mother.

It used to feel nice to have someone to care about her so much.

However, now it didn't feel like that. Perhaps it was because she had become habitual of independence but the presence of He Jian still intimidated her. It made her feel that she would have to obey whatever he would say …and this was not right at all.

Mo Roulan came out of her trance when she heard the cold man saying something after a very long time. 

"You can call him 'Brother' if you want."

Surprise flashed through Mo Roulan's eyes. She had not expected him to back down so easily. But then she had never defied him before.

A very strange kind of satisfaction spread inside her heart and Mo Roulan lowered her head in confusion trying to comprehend the reason behind this satisfaction but she could never do so.

Because He Jian was not finished yet. 

"But you will have to call me the same."

It took Mo Roulan a moment to register what He Jian said but when she did she swiftly raised her head.

With her wide black-brown eyes, Mo Roulan looked at the man in front of her who was trying to avoid her eyes.

She could clearly see the awkwardness on his face.

"What?"

Mo Roulan whispered in a daze.

Annoyance flashed through He Jian's eyes when he heard the question. He clearly didn't want to repeat his words.

He looked straight at Mo Roulan with his blue eyes as if hoping to make her understand just like that.

"Mr. He, You want me to call you …"

Mo Roulan couldn't even complete her question because she was very uncertain about it. 

On the other hand, He Jian now knew that she heard him but didn't call him what he wanted so the annoyance inside his heart increased.

Then the words said by Mo Roulan rang in his ears.

'I don't have any such intention for Mr. He.'

The next moment, he stepped forward until he was very close to Mo Roulan and asked

"You won't. You can call my friend 'Brother' but you will not call me that."

Mo Roulan's eyes flashed with surprise.

He Jian's outburst was unexpected. However the surprising thing was that to Mo Roulan, he seemed like a child who was sulking and whining.

He continued to stare at her until she didn't say anything.

In the end, Mo Roulan had to say helplessly.

"I didn't say that."

"Then call me."

"Huh?"

Mo Roulan asked in confusion but He Jian seemed to be ready to clear her confusion as he said immediately.

"Say Brother Jian."

Mo Roulan suddenly felt very embarrassed and she felt her face going hot. She was sure that her cheeks were red by now.

She suddenly felt happy that it was a little dark as the sun had set already.

He couldn't see that, right?

Mo Roulan wondered suddenly as she lowered her head and pretended to open her hair casually. Amidst this, she didn't notice the amusement dancing in the eyes of the man standing in front of her. He was noticing each and every action of hers.

"Lanlan, say it"

He said again as he stepped one more step closer.

Mo Roulan swallowed in nervousness. The deep voice and the proximity affected her too much to her liking.

So when He Jian opened his mouth again and called her.

"Lanl…"

"Brother Jian."

Mo Roulan said suddenly with her cheeks dyed in red color.
