The sound of typing was the only thing that could be heard inside the huge office.
Liu Ji Fan yawned getting bored as he looked at the icy man in front of himself.
"Old He, Please stop for a moment, will you? I am feeling as if I would go deaf with this sound. Let's go somewhere and have some fun."
Liu Ji Fan tsked when He Jian didn't even glance at him.
"You can write the longest novel with that speed."
No response.
After a while, he finally heard He Jian's voice. However, the words were something that he didn't want to hear.
"When are you going back?"
Liu Ji Fan looked at He Jian with aggrieved eyes.
"Old He, you want to send me away so soon. What will make you let me stay here? Do you want me to serve you? I'm ready to do that but please don't send me away. I can't spend my time without you...."
Liu Ji Fan blabbered for long until He Jian suddenly stopped typing.
He shut his mouth as he saw He Jian leaning on his chair with a tired sigh and pressing his temples.
"Old He, are you alright?"
He Jian raised his head to look at him and then continued looking at him for a few seconds.
Liu Ji Fan smiled playfully and said
"What? You finally realized your love for me?"
He Jian ignored his sarcastic comments and asked
"Why do you think a girl would cry?"
Liu Ji Fan almost choked on his saliva when he heard He Jian's question.
"Why do you want to know this?"
He was truly shocked. He Jian was a monk in his eyes. He had thought he liked that girl, Mo Roulan but when he said that he just wanted to take care of her because she saved him, Liu Ji Fan's hopes were destroyed.
Mo Roulan.
His eyes widened suddenly.
"Did your girl cried or something?"
Liu Ji Fan exclaimed.
He Jian nodded his head with a frown. He had not been able to concentrate on anything since he had seen her teary eyes. The lost look in those eyes was constantly making his heart restless.
What could be the reason behind her tears?
He just wanted to remove it from the root itself. So that she would not look like that again.
While Liu Ji Fan thought of something and the next moment, he almost fell down from his chair as he laughed clutching his stomach.
He Jian looked at him coldly and Liu Ji Fan pointed his finger at him.
"That's exactly how you could have made her cry. Your scary coldness can only be bear by us friends, not your young girl."
He Jian frown went deeper when Liu Ji Fan said this.
'Was he really that cold in front of her? But he had always tried to behave as gentle as he could.'
Liu Ji Fan had now stopped laughing and said
"I was just joking. Well.. there can be many reasons when the girls cry. But why do you want to know this?"
He Jian now knew that Liu Ji Fan was not any use of him so he picked his laptop and started another round of that painful sound for Liu Ji Fan.
But this time Liu Ji Fan was not irritated as now he had something interesting to think about.
"Don't tell me that you will also take care of her emotions now?"
Although his question was not answered, Liu Ji Fan knew the answer himself. He sighed and said
"Why do I feel like you are becoming a good father day by day? Are you ready to adopt someone else? If yes, then please adopt me. I'll always call you 'daddy'."
With a sly smile, Liu Ji Fan teased the cold man who didn't even pay attention to him.
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked. After He Jian's permission, two men entered the cabin.
"Boss."
Both the man greeted He Jian respectfully.
Liu Ji Fan looked at both the men. He knew Chen Xuan was the investigator hired by He Jian to find Mo Roulan. However… his sight stopped at the thin man standing by Chen Xuan's side.
"This is the information we have collected."
Chen Xuan presented the big file in front of He Jian hurriedly and said
"The file has everything I could find out about Miss Mo Roulan."
He Jian signed him to put the file on the table. He then looked at the thin man standing beside Chen Xuan.
"Tian Yuan."
The thin man standing beside Chen Xuan also put a file on He Jian's desk.
Chen Xuan smirked when he saw the thin Tian Yuan's thin and small file.
'Last time, he couldn't win. Hmph…this time he will definitely win against this thin stick.'
"Leave."
Hearing He Jian, both the men immediately left the office.
Liu Ji Fan eyes followed Tian Yuan's figure until he couldn't see him anymore.
He turned to find He Jian looking through the files his subordinates have left for him.
"Old He, you want me to go back, right?"
He Jian raised his head and looked at him.
"Give me that man. I'll leave today."
-----------
Mo Roulan unlocked the door and entered the apartment. The living room was dark. She slowly stepped inside but was startled by a sudden voice.
"Roulan, have you come back?"
It was her mother's voice.
Mo Roulan looked sideways. Her mother was sitting on the couch. She frowned when she saw her sleeping eyes.
"Why didn't you go inside your room and sleep?"
Lin Qianru looked at her daughter with narrowed eyes.
"It is me who should question you right now. Where were you? Have you seen the time?"
Mo Roulan bit her lips and then said
"Actually the boy I tutor is going to sit for his exams soon. So I taught for more time today."
Lin Qianru nodded her head but said
"Still, you should try to come early. It is not safe outside at this time."
"Yes, Mom. Sorry. I'll be careful next time. Now go and sleep inside your room."
Mo Roulan felt guilty for lying and making her mother wait for herself.
When Lin Qianru stood up from the couch, she suddenly hugged her like a spoiled child.
"Mom, can I sleep with you today?"
Lin Qainru smiled.
"Of course, when do you need to ask such things?"
Mo Roulan smiled.
She didn't want to lie but if she told the truth then she would have to tell about yesterday's banquet incident and then so much more.
Let it be. She will just find a new job.
There is no need to worry her mother about such small things.
