"Lanlan…I wanted to tell you something. Actually I…"
However, He Jian could never complete his words.
The window on Mo Roulan's side was knocked slightly interrupting He Jian amidst his words. Mo Roulan turned around.
Only when she lowered the window she did come to know that the car had stopped already and now they were in front of her college.
She nodded her head at the driver and then closed the window again.
Turning to look at He Jian again she asked him
"Mr. He, what did you want to tell me?"
"Nothing. You should leave now."
He Jian said without any emotion on his face making Mo Roulan confuse for a moment with his sudden change. However, she didn't say anything and turned around to leave.
'If he didn't want to share something then she can't force him to do that.'
Thinking this, Mo Roulan opened the door and left the car.
He Jian released a sigh as he looked at Mo Roulan's back from the window. The car started again and he could see her back fading slowly.
What was he just going to do?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf he wanted Mo Roulan not to hate him then he should just ensure that she never comes to know about it instead of telling it to her by himself.
No one else except him and Chu Feng really knew what happened that day.
He Jian was sure that Chu Feng would never dare to let out a single word about it and until and unless he gave him the permission and he would also never say something to Mo Roulan about that day.
Hm…so Mo Roulan will never hate him.
That was just a stupid dream.

Mo Chen was standing at the bus stop waiting for his school bus with other children when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Mo Chen…"
He looked sideways only to see a woman walking towards him with a boy of his age.
Mo Chen smiled a little when he recognized the boy. The boy was Zhu Jiangru…his new neighbors' son. Mo Chen had liked to play with Zhu Jiangru since the day he had had dinner with his mother and sister at their apartment.
Zhu Jiangru had the video games and remote control cars and airplanes something that he never had during his childhood as well as now. And the most surprising thing was that he let him play with them that day as much as he wanted.
Mo Chen remembered how his friends didn't let him used to play with their toys because they used to think that he will break them.
He also wanted to have the same toys to play with, however, he could see very clearly that his mother didn't have that much money. He had seen even the days where his mother had difficulty arranging three times of meals so he never got the courage to ask her for toys.
A car that was gifted to him by his sister had been his one and only toy…something that he had until now.
However, that day when he saw Zhu Jiangru toys he had a tinge of envy inside his heart which disappeared as soon as he told him that since he was his friend so he could play with them as much as he wants.
He was a nice boy and Mo Chen had wanted to befriend him until the next morning his Jiejie told him that he can't get too close to Zhu Jiangru.
Remembering this, the smile from Mo Chen's lips faded and his face suddenly didn't have any emotion when Xun Weilan reached to him with her son and her husband.
"Mo Chen, fortunately, you are also here. Here our Ruru will also go to your school with you from today on. "
Xun Weilan said enthusiastically as soon as he was in front of Mo Chen. She pushed Zhu Jiangru forward a little to stand beside Mo Chen.
Zhu Jiangru smiled at Mo Chen but Mo Chen never reciprocated that smile. He turned to stare at the front silently and heard Xun Weilan saying
"You too look so good together …just like real brothers."
Mo Chen's face didn't have any emotion but now he was also starting to agree with his Jiejie's words from that day.
'This Aunty was really too weird.'
Xun Weilan seemed to notice Mo Chen's aloof behavior and went silent. However, Zhu Jidong continued in her place
"Mo Chen, our Ruru is a little introvert. Take care of him in the school, alright?"
Mo Chen didn't want to agree with this request as his Jiejie had clearly asked him not to make Zhu Jiangru his friend.
Fortunately, his school bus came soon. It had not even stopped when Mo Chen started to walk forward pretending as if he never heard Zhu Jidong's words.
Zhu Jidong's face went cold and Xun Weilan's eyes dimmed. She swallowed lightly and then pushed her son forward to go inside the bus.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the bus left, only Xun Weilan and Zhu Jidong were left there.
"Jidong, I am so worried. How will Ruru do in school? I don't even see any benefit in sending him to school now. Didn't you see how Mo Chen acted just now? I have told you that that girl is very clever. Even her mother…I have invited her so much to our apartment yesterday but she always avoided accepting my offer nor did she ask me to come to her place."
Xun Weilan's eyes were filled with tears as she sniffed lightly at the end of her words.
Zhu Jidong's face didn't have any expression as he gently caressed his wife's back to comfort her. Staring at nothing, in particular, he whispered in a voice that was only audible to his wife
"Don't worry. If this method is not working then we will use another."
Xun Weilan turned sideways to look at her husband. Her eyes were full of fear as she said to her husband
"But the second method had the least chances of success."
Zhu Jidong sighed heavily.
"I know. But if the second method didn't work then we will have to jump to the third."
Xun Weilan's chin quivered slightly and Zhu Jidong felt distressed seeing her like this.
"Hey…"
He cupped her cheeks as he wiped the corner of her eyes.
"We are also helpless, Weilan. Don't forget that all of this is for Ruru."
Xun Weilan nodded her head at her husband's words and whispered softly
"Yes, all for Ruru…all for our son..."
After that, she tightly hugged her husband who silently reciprocated it.
