Ji Zhen Comes To See Mo Roulan
Mo Roulan got ready and left for the office.
He Jian tried to convince her again that she could rest for another day at home and apply for leave. But in return, Mo Roulan threatened that she would look for another job if he didn't let her go today.
In the end, He Jian sighed in defeat and he had to let her go.
As soon as she left, He Jian picked up his phone and messaged the driver.
"She will go to the office today. Drop her and stay there until she goes inside the office."
After the kidnapping incident, He Jian hired a new driver for Mo Roulan. The man knew how to fight if someone tried to harm Mo Roulan.
He Jian couldn't let everything stay the same after seeing what happened.
He wanted to ensure that nothing like this would happen again.
After the driver replied to him that he would do so, He Jian walked inside the bathroom to freshen for the day. Because of the wound, he couldn't bath freely but he couldn't stay without at least a body wipe.
He sighed as he helped himself.
If only Mo Roulan was here then he would have convinced her to give him a body wipe. Remembering how red her face was when she gave him a body wipe in the hospital, he chuckled.
At the same time, his heart was filled with hope.
He knew that Mo Roulan still had doubts inside her heart. Although she admitted that she loved him, he could sense her confusion regarding their relationship.
He Jian wished that all her doubts will be cleared soon.
He didn't want any kind of misunderstanding between them now. There should only be love between them and nothing else.

Mo Roulan did notice that the driver was changed. But she only thought that the last one might be still recovering.
She did remember He Jian telling her that the driver was saved at a time and was admitted to the hospital. He family was helping him with the expenses.
When they reached the office, the driver helped her in opening the door. Mo Roulan thanked him.
She wanted to say that she could do it on her own but looking at the somber expression on his face, she felt that the man was too serious about his work and might not listen even if she said it.
"Madam, this is my number. Madam can message me whenever you want me to pick you up from the office."
The driver passed a paper to Mo Roulan and Mo Roulan nodded her head. She instantly saved the number and gave the paper back to the driver before walking towards the office building.
The driver indeed stayed until Mo Roulan was inside the office building.
When Mo Roulan entered her department, she could instantly feel the gazes of her colleagues. Some of them even asked her if she was fine now.
Mo Roulan politely told them she was fine.
After entering her office, she sighed in relief.
For the past two years, she didn't like interacting much with others. But since the news of her disappearance had been all over the media, many people will recognize her at a glance.
It will take some time to bury this incident.
Knowing that she was going to attract a lot of attention today because of the kidnapping incident, she decided to stay in the office only today.
However, almost half an hour later, when Mo Roulan was busy in drawing designs, the door of her cabin opened and she heard a familiar voice.
"I had thought that you will come to see me in my office, Roulan."
Mo Roulan raised her head and saw Ji Zhen standing in front of her. She immediately put aside the designs and was about to stand up from her seat to greet Ji Zhen when Ji Zhen waved her hand and said
"Sit down. There is no need for these formalities."
However, Mo Roulan still did what she was supposed to do as an employee.
Ji Zhen smiled when she saw this.
She sat down on the chair that was in front of Mo Roulan and waited for Mo Roulan to take her seat.
After that, there was a long silence between them.
Ji Zhen smiled and finally spoke
"Roulan, don't you have any questions for Grandma? …or are you angry with Grandma?"
The way Ji Zhen talked to her made Mo Roulan feel touched. She actually wanted to talk to Ji Zhen regarding the same thing she talked to He Jian in the morning.
But she didn't know how to start.
"You can or ask anything you want, Roulan. You are a family now."
Ji Zhen said softly and her words gave courage to Mo Roulan.
"Ma'am…"
Mo Roulan paused and Ji Zhen nodded her head in an encouraging manner.
"I don't want you to treat me as He Jian's wife in the office. I want to be treated as an employee. I had joined this office to learn new things but I am afraid that I wouldn't learn anything if Ma'am stayed so soft on me."
Ji Zhen was no longer smiling but she did look thoughtful.
A few moments later, the smile on her lisp returned. If one saw clearly then her eyes were filled with pride. Any other girl would have been happy to see Ji Zhen's behavior towards her but Mo Roulan considered it as an obstacle in her learning new things.
She was different from those spoiled girls.
She wanted to achieve something in her life.
"I understand."
Ji Zhen nodded her head in understanding.
Mo Roulan's whole body relaxed with these words. She was afraid that she would offend Ji Zhen with her words but fortunately, none of that happened.
There was again a long silence between them.
Mo Roulan wondered why Ji Zhen was still there.
As she looked at Ji Zhen, she suddenly remembered what He Jian had told her. Ji Zhen divorced Grandfather He.
"Since we are talking about work…I have an offer for you."
Mo Roulan came out of her trance when she heard Ji Zhen finally speaking. She nodded her head and Ji Zhen continued speaking
"There is this project which is very important for the company but the client is in London. The client is marrying in a month and wants her wedding dress and jewelry to be designed by our company. I am still thinking about whether I should take the project or not. The project is beneficial for the company as the client is a very popular heroine so what she wears at her wedding would gain the attention of many people and hence increase our popularity…but I am yet to find a suitable person who can do this job. Would you like to take it?"0
