CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

In the dark night, a beautiful villa stood in the City S. The lights outlined its beautiful constructed and decorated walls and garden. Inside a room, a man sat on a high chair with his hand raised painting something on the large white sheet that was held by an easel. A lamp was lit a few steps far away from him. It was the only source of light in the whole room. It was placed in such a way that its whole light fell on the painting alone. The man's face could not be seen as it was hidden in the darkness.

His slender fingers that were holding the brush moved fast. Soon an outline of something could be seen on the paper. It was the side profile of a girl. When he felt like it was completed, he put down the brush and looked at the painting without any movement.

He picked the paper that was lying on the table beside him. It was also a portrait of someone. Two eyes were drawn on the sheet and the rest of the face was covered with a cloth.

After a few seconds, he raised his brush again as if to draw more on the white sheet but soon put it down again. He has repeated this action for so many years. Her whole face, he tried to imagine it but thought that his imagination would never do justice with that beautiful face. In these five years, it must have changed a lot. Those black-brown eyes must have become more beautiful. Is she a silent and good girl or a naughty and talkative one? He didn't know the answer to even one question.

The sound of something vibrating sounded in the room. His phone was ringing. Glancing at the number, he picked it up from the table and slid the screen to answer the call.

"Have you found anything?"

He directly asked the question.

There was silence on the other side for two seconds and then a hesitant answer came.

"No Boss."

This answer had not changed even once for the past few years.

The man's voice was cold when he said the next words

"Why don't you resign from your job when you can't even find a person?"

" Boss....I am trying my best. But...."

The man hanged up without listening to his excuses and continued looking at the painting in front.

While the one who was trying to make 'excuses' was crying without shedding any tears. How can they find someone with just a name? There are hundreds of girls with the same name. But he could do nothing except continuing the search. Looking at the name and painting he was given, he let out a heavy sigh and prayed to God to end this torture and guide him to find the girl.

*~*~*~~*~*~*

"Qianru, they were angry back then. Just because they said that 'Never Come Back', you will not leave this town. This is not right."

The man had a very helpless expression on her face.

Lin Qianru's eyebrows knitted after hearing his words.

"No, you know Why I don't want to leave this town. It is not because they said anything. It is because I had confidently said back then that I will live happily with you even if it was this small town and I don't understand what is wrong with living here?"

The man let out an exasperated sigh.

"You don't understand or you don't want to understand? We have children. Do you want them to waste their life here?"

He had expected her to change her decision after the mention of children but Lin Qianru still insisted on her words.

"How would they be wasting their life by living here? The town has School, College and many other facilities that other towns don't have. You also studied here. I can't see in any way you wasted your life studying in this town."

The anger he was trying to control came with full force this time and he could not control his words and voice.

"What did I get? What do I have today? You will never understand me. You had already enjoyed the luxurious life of the city. But I haven't. I can't live in this town anymore. I want to live that kind of life you left and I will leave this town even if you don't want to."

The words he said were firm. Her heart panicked with every word but she didn't say anything. She trusted him. She believed that he would not leave her and her children.

But her trust was broken in pieces when he really left the town and never came back.

Lin Qianru sat on the bed remembering the most painful phase of her life. She didn't understand at that time. She still doesn't understand. What did he lack here? In her eyes, he was the most intelligent and honest man she had ever known.

She wondered if Mo Roulan would also one day be attracted by the City's liveliness and prosperity. She had lived there for twenty years but she still likes the simple people of the town. They don't pretend. Even the Mo family Relatives, her sister-in-law, they didn't like her and her children but they showed it on their faces. Their action was visible. But in the City, people had two faces. They will seem sweet and friendly on the surface but they are planning to eat your whole existence in their heart. From her perspective, those kinds of people were more dangerous.

But for how long she would hide her children in this small town. Wu Qinlan was right. Her daughter, Mo Roulan was a very intelligent girl. She had seen her becoming sensible and mature just in one night. She handled everything. They would not be living this carefree life if it was not Roulan's efforts. Mo Roulan deserved better than this.

She would never want to lose her daughter in the same way she lost the man she loved.

Letting out a defeated sigh, Lin Qianru made the decision that will change her daughter's whole life.
