Shen Youlin Coming Out Of Her Fears
Mo Roulan had waited for the evening eagerly. She had wanted to talk to her mother very much. 1
She sat in the living room with Mo Chen waiting for Chi Rong's call. The butler was also standing a few steps away looking at the eager brother and sister with a warm smile on his lips.
However, half an hour passed and Chi Rong didn't call.
Slowly, the eagerness started to dissipate. Almost an hour later, Mo Roulan decided to call Chi Rong.
However, her heart sank down when no one picked up the call.
The butler was worried when he saw her and Mo Chen like this. He smiled and stepped forward
"Young Miss should not worry. Let me call Master's assistant and confirm if everything is alright."
Mo Roulan immediately nodded her head and the butler called Chi Rong's assistant.
Chi Rong assistant picked up the call but he told the butler that Chi Rong and Lin Qianru were inside the theatre and watching a movie.
He also told them that Chi Rong's phone was with him and it was on silent mode. He apologized to Mo Roulan for not taking her calls but assured her that he would tell Chi Rong about this.
The call cut and the butler looked at the two crestfallen faces in front of his eyes.
As he saw his young master and young miss returning to their rooms with a not-so-good face, he complained about his own master inside his heart for the first time.

Chi Rong called back but in the morning.
"Roulan, I am sorry. That …I forget about the call."
He only said these words. Though Mo Roulan was upset, she forgave him and asked about her mother.
"She is here. I will give her the phone so that you can talk."
Saying this, Chi Rong moved towards the awake Lin Qianru. He put the phone on speaker so that she could hear clearly.
Lin Qianru blinked the tears that were forming in her eyes. She was afraid that she would say something that would make Mo Roulan suspicious. At the same time, she wanted to talk to her daughter.
Composing herself, she asked softly
"Roulan. How are you? How is Chenchen?"
On the other side of the phone, Mo Roulan frowned as she felt something was off. Putting aside her doubts, she answered her mother
"Mom... we are alright. How are you? Why is your voice so weak? Are you unwell?"
Lin Qianru was alarmed and hurriedly looked at Chi Rong. Chi Rong blinked in assurance and lied smoothly
"Roulan, Qianru just woke up. Yesterday, we were out for the whole day so she is slightly tired."
Mo Roulan sighed in relief but she wanted to remind her mother that she should take care of herself.
On the other side, Chi Rong saw the doctor stepping inside the hospital room and said immediately
"Roulan, I need to attend a very important call. I and your Mom will talk to you later."
Saying this, Chi Rong hurriedly cut the call before Mo Roulan could say anything. Mo Roulan looked at the phone with a deep frown.
A few moments later, she sighed as she asked herself whether she was overthinking. Her mother never enjoyed her life.
Now when she could do so, she should not disturb her and somewhere she trusted that Chi Rong would take care of her mother.

Shen Youlin stood at the entrance of the café with a blank face. A moment later, she inhaled and finally stepped inside.
When a few gazes fell on her instantly, her body stiffened.
It had been more than a week since that incident. But she felt as if the people who were looking at her were talking about her only.
The urge to run away was persistent and strong only for a moment before her brother's words sounded in her ears.
"You can't stay inside these four walls forever, Youlin and you don't need to. Whatever happened was never your fault and you have the right to enjoy your life as much as others do."
Shen Weisheng had been a huge support to her in these difficult times. She could swear that if her brother had not been by her side then she would have fallen apart.
She needed him. She needed her family which included her brother only …to make her realize that her sexual orientation was not her blemish.
And he was right.
She couldn't isolate herself.
And when had she, Shen Youlin, ever cared about these people…people who didn't even know her?
Shen Youlin exhaled sharply as she confidently walked inside the café.
Outside the café, a car was parked at a small distance from the entrance. Sitting inside the car, Shen Weisheng smiled as he saw his sister finally going inside the café. The café's windows were made of glass and he could see Shen Youlin seated at a table.
Seeing her confidently ordering what she wanted to have, he finally felt that he did the right thing.
He looked down at his phone when it vibrated and sighed when he saw the same message asking about his sister.
'She is doing fine.'
He typed and sent.
In the past few days, Mo Roulan called him many times and texted every day to ask about Shen Youlin. He had wondered if he should let her meet or talk to Youlin but he was afraid that he would push Youlin more into hoping for something that she should not.
It would be better if she stays away from Mo Roulan.
Shen Weisheng sighed and raised his head to look at his sister again.
His eyes suddenly flickered with confusion and surprise when he saw a familiar figure walking towards his sister's table.
The figure sat on the chair placed in front of Shen Youlin and he could see that Shen Youlin was shocked to see the person.
"Sir, we need to leave."
Shen Weisheng heard his assistant say. He didn't respond for a long time but the frown on his forehead disappeared when he saw Shen Youlin talking to the person.
It would be nice if she would have someone to talk to. He thought but still turned to look at his assistant and said
"Ask Zhao Yujie to stay around her. Inform me quickly if something happens."
