CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

Chapter 381  He Jian's Unsuccessful Coaxing

Inside his office, He Jian looked at the bouquet of flowers that was placed on his table. It had yellow roses. Though Fang Zhihan asked him to get red roses, He Jian was more wise than him and hence decided to go with yellow roses. He immediately sat straight when the door of his office was knocked. He cleared his throat before he said "Come in."

He Jian put a nonchalant expression on his face as he hurriedly started working on his laptop. The sound of footsteps sounded inside the office and He Jian soon heard Mo Roulan's soft voice. "Mr. He, what do I need to do?"

He Jian's fingers that were continuously tapping the keys of the keyboard stopped suddenly. He stared at the screen that had a person's name and that person was none other than the girl who was standing in front of him. Lanlan

Lanlan

Lanlan

Unconsciously he didn't even get to know when he started to type Mo Roulan's name on the document file. With one finger on a key, he immediately deleted all the typed words as if he was afraid that Mo Roukan would suddenly peek at the laptop screen and find his stupid deeds. Clearing his throat again, He Jian said emotionlessly as he looked at Mo Roulan.

"These flowers…are for you."

Mo Roulan's face was blank as she looked down at the bouquet of yellow roses on the table and then at He Jian who had already started to do his work again on his laptop. She again snaked a glance at the flowers and then at He Jian hoping that he would clarify what exactly he meant by his words. However, he never turned to look in her direction after saying those few words in his emotionless voice. If Fang Zhihan had been here and seen this then he would have constantly beaten his forehead with his own hands countless times. While teaching He Jian the tricks of coaxing a girl, he forgot to tell him that he (He Jian) was supposed to put at least a small and gentle smile on his lips in front of Mo Roulan. However, this thing was very normal in Fang Zhihan's eyes and hence it never came to his mind that he should be telling even this thing to He Jian. However, Fang Zhihan forgot the person whom he was teaching was He Jian whose emotional quotient was so low that it took him so many years to know that his feelings towards Mo Roulan were not the kind of feelings he used to think of. It was more than what he used to think. So how could He Jian, who had never thought about any other girl that way, could learn just like this how he should coax a girl!

Mo Rooulan sighed exasperatedly suddenly while looking down at the ground. She closed her eyes for a moment before she suddenly raised her head and asked He Jian. "Mr. He, who do you need me to send these to?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

She would obviously not think that those flowers were for her. Indeed, she felt that He Jian would suddenly ask her to send these flowers to Shen Yiling. A pinch …just a little bit of pain Mo Roulan felt inside her heart but she ignored it as if it was never there. Though the roses were yellow, the concept of him sending flowers to someone else didn't settle well with her but she didn't have any say in this. Mo Roulan spoke the last few words to herself over and over again as she waited for He Jian's answer. It didn't matter to whom he wanted her to send these flowers…her job was to just send these flowers. On the other hand, He Jian looked at Mo Roulan with a blank face suddenly. As he looked at Mo Roulan's equally blank face, frustration suddenly flashed through He Jian's eyes. Did he not say just now that the flowers were for her?

Then why was she asking him whom he wanted to send these flowers to! "No one."

He Jian lowered his head suddenly. He suddenly felt very awkward and a little stupid. It was something he had never done before and when for the first time he did, he could feel that he just couldn't do it. Why is it that when Fang Zhihan had said it he had found it very easy but now it seemed very difficult to him? The frustration and irritation could clearly be seen on He Jian's face as he said suddenly

"Just throw them in the dustbin."

Mo Roulan frowned in confusion as she looked at He Jian trying to confirm whether whatever he was saying, he really meant it or not. However, she also felt very frustrated when he started working on his laptop again so she silently picked the flowers from the table and then left the office to do the asked work. However, outside the office, when Mo Roulan was about to throw the flowers inside the dustbin, she stopped suddenly. She looked at the yellow roses and thought of the empty vase placed on her table. The roses were very beautiful so Mo Roulan thought for a moment and decided to use them to put inside that empty vase. When she stepped inside the room again to walk to her table, the girl who sat at the other table suddenly raised her head to look at her.

Surprise flashed through the girl's eyes when she saw the yellow roses in Mo Roulan's hands. "Mo Roulan, had you not gone to the boss' office just now?"

"Yes."

Mo Roulan nodded her head as she replied with a confused face. However when she saw the girl's suspicious gaze on the flowers in her hands, "Ah…these flowers, he asked me to throw inside the dustbin but I liked them very much so I didn't want to throw them."

Mo Roulan explained as she walked towards her table and started to put a few flowers in the vase. The girl nodded her head in understanding and whispered

"They are indeed beautiful."

The conversation attracted other people's attention. One of the male employees also looked towards the flowers and chuckled suddenly "What do you think? Are those flowers being sent by some girl to the boss?"

The people inside the room chuckled suddenly when they understood what the male employee was trying to imply while Mo Roulan froze amidst her actions. She looked at the flowers and suddenly didn't like them very much. However, she also knew that if she decided to throw them now, her actions would be very peculiar in everyone's eyes. So she could only bite her lips and put those roses in the vase silently.

Inside her heart, she couldn't help but say. She should have just thrown them away!
