Chapter 385 The Dinner At He Mansion


    The car driving to He Mansion on the slightly busy roads was filled with silence. He Jian sighed helplessly when he didn''t get any reaction from Mo Ron anymore. The girl was too intelligent sometimes, he thought as he smiled helplessly unaware of what was going on inside Mo Ron''s mind. Mo Ron sighed in relief when she felt that He Jian was no longer looking at her. She turned her head slightly and saw him looking at his phone. Mo Ron didn''t know suddenly whether she was disappointed or relieved because soon the image of those yellow flowers started to bother her again. Who gave him those flowers!


    The car reached He Mansion with this silence only. It was Mo Ron who stepped out of the car as soon as it stopped while He Jian who was putting down his phone, ready to get out of the car and go to the other side to open the door for her looked at her back with surprised eyes. A momentter, he sighed as he got out of the car. It seems that she was very angry. It made him wonder just what should he do to have his Lan back!


    Last night, after hearing Shen Weisheng''s words inside the balcony, He Jian had thought that slowly and slowly he should start letting Mo Ron know about his feelings. However, after seeing her reaction today he didn''t know whether it would be a wise decision or not. The thoughts stopped and amusement shed inside He Jian''s eyes when he saw Mo Ron looking at the huge mansion with a nk face. It almost seemed to He Jian that she would have gone without him inside the mansion right now if only it was not He Mansion. His eyes shed with indulgence when he saw the trace of fear in her eyes. He Jian didn''t me Mo Ron for that. He med his grandfather who humiliated Mo Ron that day. He knew that she was scared and unwilling to attend this dinner. He had seen it in the morning itself but he still wanted her to attend it. Because He Jian knew that he couldn''t really let Mo Ron dislike his family when he had the intention of having her as his life partner. And his grandfather had already started to ept Mo Ron''s presence in his life so He Jian didn''t think that tonight''s dinner would make Mo Ron sad or feel low. "Let''s go inside, hm?"


    Mo Ron came out of her trance when she heard He Jian''s deep voice from her side. She was startled as she turned her head to look at him. The fear from her eyes was immediately hidden from her and she looked at He Jian''s hand that was stretched out in her direction with uncertainty in her eyes. Moving her eyes to look at his face, she tried toprehend whether he really wanted her to put her hand in his hand. However, instead of taking his hand back, He Jian signed her to look at his hand again. A momentter, with uncertainty flickering in her eyes, Mo Ron put her hand in He Jian''s hand. She was actually confused as they started to proceed towards the Mansion''s gates. The thought that He Jian had started to like her and that''s why he was doing all this never came to her mind because Mo Ron could never imagine He Jian having that kind of feelings for herself. She had made that mistake once and she was never going to do the same mistake again. So when they were about to enter the mansion, she stopped suddenly and looked at He Jian. "Are we going to enter like this?"


    He Jian couldn''t help but frown at the question and asked the question that he had inside his heart.


    "Why can''t we enter like this?"


    Mo Ron opened and closed her mouth, unable to find the words. Was it not obvious that they should not enter like this?


    This is how a couple is supposed to enter, isn''t it? And they were not a couple. She looked away in frustration and silently slid out her hand from He Jian''s hold. He Jian''s frown went deeper seeing this. He was about to stretch out his hand to hold Mo Ron''s hand again when a soft voice sounded


    "Brother Jian." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    He Jian''s eyes were cold and indifferent when he turned his head to look at the front but Mo Ron''s whole body went still. Even before turning her head to look at the owner of the voice, she knew who it was.


    But what was Shen Yiling doing here?


    But then she smiled bitterly. Why would not Shen Yiling be here? She and He Jian were going to get married soon. In fact, it was she who should not have been here. She inhaled sharply when she gathered her courage and finally looked at Shen Yiling for the second time on the same day. It should not have been that difficult after two days but it was. As Mo Ron looked at Shen Yiling, she suddenly could see the difference between her and Shen Yiling. Dressed in a beautiful dress, already beautiful Shen Yiling with an oval face, doe-shaped eyes, a button-shaped nose, and rosy lips, she looked no less beautiful than an angel. She suddenly felt a little conscious of her own dress. It was a little funny how Shen Yiling''s mind was filled with the same kind of thoughts. However, she was envious of Mo Ron. Even in such a simple dress, Mo Ron looked very beautiful. However, Shen Yiling tried to assure herself that beauty didn''t matter that much. The branded clothes that she wore…Mo Ron''s family couldn''t afford them and that was what made her perfect for He Jian. She of course was more perfect than Mo Ron for He Jian!


    With a smug smile on her lips, Shen Yiling moved her eyes to look at He Jian. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she tried to see any kind of familiarity in He Jian''s cold and indifferent eyes. However, He Jian''s eyes were so emotionless as he looked at Shen Yiling that she couldn''t help but feel that perhaps he didn''t even recognize her. Shen Yiling swallowed the sorrow she felt inside her heart and stepped forward to introduce herself. "Brother Jian…"


    However, before she couldplete her words, another voice sounded in the living room of He Mansion. "Jian is here!"


    Grandfather He''s loud voice sounded and soon the sound of footsteps was heard. "Ha…I know that you wille!"


    Saying this, Grandfather He walked past Shen Yiling and walked toward his grandson. When he looked at Mo Ron, his lips had a wide grin and his eyes narrowed as he said "Girl Ron, you are also heree,e inside. This old man had wanted to see you for so long."


    Mo Ron''s eyes shed with surprise as she noticed the huge change in Grandfather He''s behavior. This was not what she was expecting. Her attention waspletely diverted from Shen Yiling as she was pulled inside by Grandfather He. He Jian was satisfied with the old man''s behavior and followed them silently. All this while, he never looked at Shen Yiling whose eyes were following his every move.


    Her fists were clenched tightly as she noticed that his whole attention was on Mo Ron. She came out of her trance only when she heard Grandfather He calling her. "Yiling,e inside."


    Shen Yiling red at Grandfather He''s back silently as she stomped her feet and started to walk inside.


    Mo Ron''s arm was held by Grandfather He as they walked further inside the mansion. Her eyes went nk again when she saw He Zhuang sitting on the couch who stood up when he saw them enter. Grandfather He also stopped walking. She suddenly remembered that she had not even greeted He Zhuang in the morning because she was too lost in her past life memories. It still took her a long time to open her mouth and say


    "Hello, Mr. He."


    She could only say this as she didn''t know whether she should call him Uncle or not. After all, they were not that familiar. However, He Jian who was standing by Mo Ron''s side didn''t like this.


    Mr. He…that was what Mo Ron called him. She should not be calling some other person by the same name even if that person was his own father. So he said "Call him Uncle."


    The living room went silent for a moment. It was Grandfather He who chortled loudly first. However, He Zhuang didn''t seem to mind as he said


    "It is fine with me."


    So Mo Ron greeted He Zhuang again awkwardly "Hello, Uncle."


    He Zhuang nodded his head acknowledging the greeting while Grandfather He''s eyes narrowed suddenly. And he said sullenly.


    "Girl, you didn''t greet this old man."


    Grandfather He felt worse when he remembered how softly Mo Ron had greeted himst time. He had really liked that. So he looked at Mo Ron with expectant eyes making Mo Ron feel awkward. Everything suddenly seemed to be very different from her past life. Mo Ron could already feel that this was going to be a long night.
