Mo Roulan leaned on the door with a horrified face. Her heart was beating fiercely inside her chest.

It must be her hallucination. How can he be here? ​​

The doorbell rang again and she jumped away from the door as if it was something that should never be touched.

“Roulan, open the door.”

Her mother’s shouted from the kitchen and she looked towards the kitchen. Licking her lips, she murmured.

‘It is nothing. You must have seen wrong.’

However, she could feel her palms sweating. With trembling hands, she opened the door and closed her eyes with many expectations in her heart.

‘Please don’t let him be there.’

“What a coincidence, I have not expected to see Miss Mo here.”

The deep and familiar voice fell in her ears and without opening her eyes she knew the man standing in front of her was not her imagination.

Mo Roulan took a deep breath to calm down her emotions and opened her eyes.

“What is Mr. He doing here?”

At this moment, Lin Qianru came out from the kitchen and saw the young man who had helped her standing at the door.

“Roulan what are you doing? Let the guests come inside.”

Guests…

In a daze, Mo Roulan stepped aside so that the ‘guests’ can enter

While passing by Mo Roulan, He Jian whispered that was only audible to both of them.

“No worries, I am already used to Miss Mo’s impoliteness.”

He was referring to the incident where he saved her from falling down but she ran away without even thanking him properly.

Liu Ji Fan who followed him inside was stunned hearing these words from his friend. He looked at the girl named ‘Miss Mo’ by his friend and smiled widely. He had never heard Old He talking so freely without even putting on his cold face with anyone else.

‘Why does he feel like that Old He was not here to woo aunties but someone special?’

He felt as if he had discovered something big.

Entering inside further, he presented the bouquet of red roses in his hands in front of Lin Qianru.

“Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman. I am He Jian’s friend, Auntie. I hope one extra person will not be a trouble for you.”

Lin Qianru laughed at his words and Liu Ji Fan moved towards Mo Roulan.

Mo Roulan saw him but she moved his gaze away soon. She knew that Liu Ji Fan was He Jian’s friend. In her past life, not a single friend of He Jian liked her and all of them behaved with her very coldly.

So she really didn’t want to talk to any one of them but Liu Ji Fan stood in front of her and smiled widely which she did not reciprocate. In fact, she thought that his smile was dangerous.

“Hello, Miss Mo. My name is Liu Ji Fan. You have a very beautiful face. I…”

Liu Ji Fan stopped when he saw the girl in front of him was looking at him with sharp and cold eyes. He was confused.

‘Did I say something wrong?’

His words had nothing wrong but it reminded Mo Roulan how he and his other friends had accused her that she thinks that she can seduce He Jian just because she had a beautiful face.

While Liu Ji Fan was still trying to comprehend the strange looks he was getting from Miss Mo, he suddenly felt a cold gaze burning a hole on his back.

“I think you have introduced yourself enough.”

Liu Ji Fan turned around to look at his best friend with narrowed eyes and said with a not-so-smile on his lips.

“If Boss He says so.”

Then he looked at Lin Qianru and said childishly.

Lin Qianru didn’t notice her daughter’s strange behavior and said happily.

“Come Come, The food is ready. I will serve it.”

Liu Ji Fan followed her inside. He Jian looked at Mo Roulan for a moment and then followed Liu Ji Fan inside.

————————

Mo Roulan helped her mother in setting the dishes on the table while sulking. Little Mo Chen ate early and was sleeping inside his room. So the four people sat around the table. The dinner was served soon.

“Roulan pass that to me.”

Lin Qianru asked her daughter pointing to a certain dish. When she had the dish in her hands, she served it in He Jian’s and Liu Ji Fan’s plates.

“Try this…”

He Jian smiled politely and said

“Just call me Jian, Ma’am.”

Liu Ji Fan raised his bows at his friend’s words

Smiling Lin Qianru filled He Jian’s bowl more and said

“You should also call me Auntie.”

He Jian tried the dish she served and said

“Sure, Auntie.”

Mo Roulan at this exchange with complex eyes. When had she ever thought that the Young Master He could also sit with so many people and have dinner with this smile on his lips?

Never. At least He Jian of her past life would not do so.

He even allowed her mother to call him ‘Jian’. Her mother doesn’t even know that there were only very few people who could call him by this name.

At this moment, Liu Ji Fan ate who was eating with relish as if he had not eaten for long suddenly exclaimed.

“Auntie, this is so delicious. The more I eat, the more I want to eat. Auntie, will you make this for me again when I will come next time?”

Hearing his words, Mo Roulan looked at him sharply and said

“My mother is not your servant who will cook for you whenever you wish to eat something.”

Liu Ji Fan was startled by the sudden aggressiveness of the girl towards him. He frowned and said

“Girl, why do I feel as if you hold some grudge for me…”

He turned towards He Jian completing his sentence.

“Or for Old He.”

At his words, He Jian raised his head and looked at Mo Roulan as if he was waiting for her to answer Liu Ji Fan’s question.

Even Lin Qianru was looking at her daughter with a frown on her forehead.

Being the center of attention of these three people, Mo Roulan said nonchalantly

“I just don’t like strangers.”

“Then Miss Mo must not dislike me….”

He Jian said while looking at her

“After all, I am not a stranger to Miss Mo.”

Lin Qianru was confused by his words and asked

“Jian, have you met Roulan before?”

“Yes, Auntie actually I and Miss Mo…”

Roulan thought that if she didn’t do anything then the indifferent man would tell her mother about everything that happened at the party and in college that day.

“Nothing Mom, It is nothing that is important to be mentioned here.”

He Jian smiled and said

“So Miss Mo remembers that we are not strangers.”

“Yes.”

Liu Ji Fan heard this and asked her with a smirk

“Wonderful. Then Miss Mo we can come here to eat whenever we want, right?”

Mo Roulan glared at him.

‘I will not let you enter my house again let alone letting you eat the food cooked by my mother.’

Hearing no response, He Jian started again.

“So Auntie, what I was saying that Miss Mo and I…”

Mo Roulan was filled with anger seeing this. But she could only grit her teeth and say

“Come whenever you want. Just don’t open your mouth.”

She fiercely glared at both the men. Her face was red because of anger.

Amusement flashed through He Jian’s eyes and he said

“Thanks, Miss Mo for your permission.”

Blue eyes filled with smiles looked at her softly. For a moment, Mo Roulan thought that it was her illusion. Her heart skipped a beat.

She was brought out of her trance when she heard her mother asking

“Jian, what were you telling me? How did you and Roulan meet?”

He Jian gaze didn’t move away from Mo Roulan as he said

“Nothing auntie as Miss Mo said it has nothing important to be mentioned here.”

Liu Ji Fan laughed while burying his head in the bowl. Mo Roulan felt angered by this. She just said ‘I’m full’ and then got up from her chair not before muttering that was audible to both the men.

“Cheap men”

Liu Ji Fan turned to look at her back with his mouth parted in shock.

From where does he look like a cheap man?

On the other hand, He Jian chuckled with his head lowered.

‘The kitten is still very fierce.’
