CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 84 - Life Has To Go On

Mo Roulan stepped inside the large hall that was decorated with the lyrics written by Huixuo with Cheng Yang.

She glanced sideways at Cheng Yang who was already looking at the walls. Then she looked around the hall and found only one empty table.

Seeing the filled hall, Mo Roulan was afraid that she would lose Cheng Yang so she held his hand and walked towards the table.

Walking a step behind her, Cheng Yang felt the sudden touch and stared at their joined hands blankly.

"Let's sit here."

He heard her and saw the empty chairs. Without saying anything, he sat down on one of them.

Sitting on the chair, Mo Roulan looked around as more and more people started to come. It could be seen how popular Huixuo was among the people.

The event started soon.

The host came on the stage and talked about Huixuo's journey from a newbie to becoming a singer who won the hearts of many people with his beautiful voice and heart-touching lyrics.

After that, he called a few fans who sang a song.

Many fans got on the stage and performed something to show their love for Huixuo. A middle-aged couple recounted how they proposed to each other using Huixuo's songs.

After that, a man climbed the stairs and went to the stage. Taking the mike in his hands, he looked at the people sitting in the hall.

Suddenly someone shouted among the audience saying that the man was also a famous artist.

"Hello."

The voice was very soft and nice to hear as the man began. Gradually the hall quieted down.

"Today I am not here as an artist." The man said smilingly looking towards the person who had recognized him and continued

"Today I am here as a fan. Fan of Huixuo."

A short paused then he continued again

"It is still difficult to believe that we have lost such a talented man so soon and so sudden. Huixuo was not only my ideal for me but also my teacher and my competitor. I have strived hard to become like him when I started my career but it soon became clear to me that no one could become like him. I thought of him as my competitor wanted to do everything better than him but could never attain that."

A sigh escaped from the man's lips and he smiled a little but his damp eyes betrayed his emotions.

"It took me a long time to understand why I can't be better than him or even like him. Because Huixuo never took singing as a competition; not even his profession."

"Once I met him and we have talked for only half an hour. But that half an hour was enough for me to get to know him. For him, singing was his salvation, a way by which he could express his emotions instead of hiding them inside his heart. He was a man of few words but the one who used to think from the heart. So he chose singing to express his suppressed emotions."

"I will like to remember him today by singing one of his own favorite songs. He had told me that this song was close to his heart because he wrote it for someone who was the closest to his heart."

The music started and the man opened his mouth to sing the song.

It was a very beautiful song. The same song that Mo Roulan had played and Cheng Yang had specially removed his earphones to listen to.

The man's words were so heart-touching that everyone was attentively listening to him so was the song he sang.

It was a popular song. Those who remembered the song started to sing it with him.

Even Mo Roulan could not remove her eyes from the stage.

It was not until she heard the soft sniffles from her beside, her trance was broken.

She looked on her left side swiftly and Cheng Yang sitting with his head lowered. Her body tensed when she saw that his shoulders were trembling.

Her heart softened seeing the young boy silently muffling his sobs.

Her left hand raised to comfort him but she didn't know if she should disturb him.

From the butler Wen she had come to know that Cheng Yang had not cried even once after his father's death. He just became silent and enclosed himself in his room.

In the end, Mo Roulan turned her head towards the stage as if she saw nothing.

Let him grieve. It was necessary and best for him.

She silently accompanied Cheng Yang throughout the whole event.

When everything ended and people started to leave, only then she turned to look at him again.

Now he was not crying. Only his red eyes could prove that he had really cried otherwise everything else was the same.

Feeling her gaze on himself, Cheng Yang looked at her and she smiled softly.

"Shall we leave?"

He silently nodded his head but having his response made Mo Roulan happy.

She stood up followed by Cheng Yang and exited the hall.

On the way, Mo Roulan could feel Cheng Yang's disturbing emotions so she didn't want to say anything that could affect him.

She opened and closed her mouth many times but couldn't find anything so, in the end, she remained silent.

So the whole ride passed in silence.

It was already seven o'clock when Mo Roulan reached Cheng Mansion with Cheng Yang.

She got out of the car and waited for Cheng Yang to come out.

Fortunately, Mrs. Cheng didn't come back. The butler was already standing at the gates and sighed in relief when he saw Cheng Yang safe and sound.

Mo Roulan walked to Cheng Yang's room with him. When Cheng Yang was about to close the door, she suddenly said

"Cheng Yang."

Cheng Yang stopped and stared at her. His gaze was still blank making Mo Roulan wonder whether everything that happened today really changed anything or not.

However, she still continued

"Your loss is great. Your Father must be a very good person and very close to you. No one can maybe understand your pain. But life doesn't stop after we lose someone closer. Life has to go on. We have to continue living for those who are still with us and love us."

Mo Roulan sighed when she finished. Cheng Yang was still looking at her blankly so she turned around and left Cheng Mansion silently.

However, she didn't notice Cheng Yang's clenched fists.

Butler Wen especially asked the driver to send her home as it was already very late. Mo Roulan also didn't refuse.

That night, Cheng Yang listened to his favorite song the whole night again and again as he stared blankly outside the window of his room.

In the early morning, Shen Youlin came out of her mansion while humming a nice tune. She opened her car and sat in the driver's seat.

As she drove to Mo Roulan's house a bright smile appeared on her lips when remembered Mo Roulan's kiss on her cheek. However, her smile disappeared soon and her eyes went wide when she suddenly saw a black sedan rushing in front of the car with a large speed.

The car in front of her stopped suddenly making her press the brakes immediately.

Spitting out some colorful words for whoever was inside the car, she opened the door and slammed it loudly.

Then she walked towards the black sedan as soon as she can.

Shen Youlin almost drooled when she saw how beautiful the car was. It was of the limited edition. However, she soon composed herself.

  Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she knocked on the driver door and said

"Open the door."

The door opened and she didn't hesitate to drag the driver out with his collar.

"You little piece of sh*t, if you don't know how to drive then why are you driving such a beautiful car in the first place?"

The driver tried to free his collar from her hand and said

"Madam, please calm down and listen to me first."

"Oh, you just shut up. I'll call the police right now and I will file a case against you. You have indirectly tried to take my life."

The driver's face paled and he looked at Shen Youlin as if she was a crazy woman.

"What nonsense? When did I do any sort of that thing?"

"You didn't? Wasn't it you who sped this beautiful car in front of my humble car? Wasn't it you who…."

"Miss Shen"

A calm voice suddenly interrupted Shen Youlin's long accusations.

Shen Youlin turned to look sideways with an annoyed expression on her face while the driver released a sigh of relief on seeing his boss.

Shen Youlin gulped seeing the magnificent face in front of her and instantly stepped back.

"Ugh…Why are you standing so close?"

Finally creating some distance she continued

"What are you doing here, CEO Song?"

Shen Youlin didn't even give any chance to Song Xinyi to speak. She looked at the driver hiding behind Song  Xinyi and then at the black sedan and then back at Song Xinyi.

"Don't tell me that this car and that driver is yours."

Song Xinyi calmly nodded her head and said

"Indeed, Miss Shen is very wise."

What very wise.

Shen Youlin's lips twitched and she narrowed her eyes infinitesimally as she said

"What do you want, CEO Song? First, you molested me and then you kissed me and now today you tried to kill me. What is going on in your mind?"

The driver who was standing behind Song Xinyi heard all this and his eyes went wide.

What? Boss really molested a girl.

His gaze towards Song Xinyi was suddenly a little pitiful.

On the other hand, noticing her driver's different gaze, Song Xinyi said coldly.

"Go away."

And the driver was instantly far away from the duo. 

After that Song Xinyi had just turned to Shen Youlin to speak but Shen Youlin was still busy in imagining in different directions.

"Are you a serial killer or something like that?"

Song Xinyi's looked at Shen Youlin woodenly and said before Shen Youlin could continue again.

"Miss Shen's capability of talking to yourself is very appreciative."

Shen Youlin's face went red and she realized she was really chattering no stop but the next moment she defended herself.

"It is natural. After all, I'm very scared."

Song Xinyi frowned and said softly

"Are you? Do you want me to comfort you?"

She opened her arms and said

"Come here."

Shen Youlin only saw a big molester who was telling her to jump in his arms.

Ha..was she a fool to do something foolish like this?

The problem was just that this molester was very beautiful.

She, in fact, stepped back and said nervously

"Just leave it. I'll forgive you. You can go."

She acted to be generous as she waved her hand in a dismissive way and turned around. However, before she could even take a step ahead, her wrist was grasped from behind and she was turned around suddenly.

Her eyes went wide with shock as she saw Song Xinyi leaning down and sealing her lips.
