Chapter 213 – Sleeping Peacefully After A Very Long Time
Two hours later, when Chu Feng came back to check on his boss, he was surprised to see the scene inside the room.
His boss was leaning against the headrest and looking at Miss Mo who was sleeping peacefully on the bed something that his boss should have been doing.
He Jian sensed someone's presence in the room. Seeing that it was his assistant, he didn't say anything except sign him to stay silent.
After that, he moved his eyes back to the sleeping girl.
Her hand was held by him and he still had not let it go.
His blue eyes fell on her red and swollen eyes and he frowned for the umpteenth time while looking at them.
He could tell that she had not slept last night properly so he didn't want anyone to disturb her sleep.
He then glanced at the files lying on the bedside table and picked one of them. His work was still pending.
Chu Feng, on the other hand, who was asked to stay silent, didn't know what he should do.
He wanted to ask his boss to rest.
Although he looked better than before, he still could see very clearly that his boss was still having a fever.
However, how could he even perhaps try to say this in signs, and if even he tried, his boss was not even ready to look at him for an extra second.
But surprisingly, He Jian raised his head to look at his assistant when he felt that he still had not left his room. With a frown on his forehead, he looked at his assistant coldly and then back at Mo Roulan.
In the end, Chu Feng gathered his courage.
He took out his phone and typed what he had wanted to say hurriedly and then walk towards the side of the bed where his boss was.
He showed his phone and He Jian's blue eyes narrowed a little when he read the text on his assistant phone.
'Boss, CEO He Zhuang had called me a few minutes ago and especially told me to make sure that you will take a very good rest. He will call me after an hour to ask if you are resting or not. I am afraid that I would have to say the truth.'
The hands holding the phone trembled and Chu Feng almost fell down on the floor in fear when the cold blue eyes filled with surprise as well as astonishment fell on Chu Feng.
Perhaps he was being this daring for the first time and this made him He Jian very surprised.
However, Chu Feng persisted through this silent torture.
He continued to stand there firmly until He Jian whispered lightly.
"Bring me another blanket."
It took Chu Feng a few seconds to register what his boss had just said but when he did, he immediately went to the closet and took out a new blanket.
Only then did Chu Feng notice that his boss had given his blanket to Miss Mo. The blanket that should have been covering his boss was now covering Mo Roulan's body completely.
Chu Feng sighed more and more feeling that his boss would definitely prove to be a very good father figure.
He Jian covered himself with the blanket given by Chu Feng and then lied down on the bed. Since the bed was huge, he could sleep without touching Mo Roulan easily.
Enough space was left between them.
When Chu Feng saw that his boss had closed his eyes, he sighed in relief and left the room.
Lying on the bed, He Jian opened his eyes again as soon as he was sure that Chu Feng had left.
He was thinking of getting up in a few minutes as the work was too much and he knew that he would not be able to sleep again now.
As he thought this, he could always feel the presence of the young girl sleeping peacefully beside him. A very faint and fresh scent was invading his personal space making him aware that there was someone else other than him on his bed.
He sighed lightly as he turned his body in Mo Roulan's direction.
His blue eyes rested on her face that looked so peaceful and he suddenly couldn't move them away.
A very small smile appeared on his lips something that he himself didn't notice.
Slowly and slowly, his eyes started to get close on their own and He Jian fell asleep.
For the very first time in all these years, he fell asleep without using any medication.
After a very long time, he had a peaceful sleep even though it was only for three hours.
.
.
.
Three and half-hour later, He Jian was leaning against the headrest while reading some files. Chu Feng stood a step away from him.
His hands held the files that he needed He Jian to sign.
Since his temperature was now a little down, Chu Feng didn't stop him from working or perhaps he didn't have any more courage left to threaten his boss again.
It was very courageous of him to do it once. He can't do it again if he loved his life.
The room was very silent although the two men were working.
When Chu Feng had stepped inside the room with those files in his hands, his boss's cold blue eyes had warned him clearly not to make any noise in the room.
And he was very intelligent to know what will happen if he actually dared to the otherwise.
At this moment, God knows who didn't love his life and decided to ring the doorbell of the apartment.
The construction of the building was done very nicely. So nicely that the loud voice of the doorbell could be heard inside the whole apartment ensuring that the resident no matter in which part of the apartment he was should be able to hear it.
Chu Feng immediately felt the temperature of the room going down.
With great courage, he looked at his boss and immediately took a few steps back in fear.
He Jian was literally looking at his assistant with cold eyes screaming.
'Why the f**k are you still standing here instead of throwing the person, whoever was ringing the doorbell, outside of the building?'
Chu Feng immediately left the room when he got the message.
However, he was too late.
Sleeping on the bed, Mo Roulan was already started to have a frown on her forehead.
Panic flashed in He Jian's eyes when he saw the frown on Mo Roulan's forehead.
He really wished that she could have a good rest.
He knew that she was very good in studies so she must be giving a very good amount of time to her studies also. And then she did this tutoring job also.
He Jian felt very distressed for the young girl.
He really wanted to tell Mo Roulan that he could support her and her family so she didn't need to work so hard.
And he might have proposed it if he had not known Mo Roulan's nature after these few months.
Now, He Jian knew that saying these words would only push Mo Roulan far away from him so he didn't dare to do so.
Now the only thing he wants is her to have a good rest when she is so tired but it seems that even that is not acceptable by someone.
His hand hesitantly forwarded to pat Mo Roulan's forehead as he whispered
"Sleep …everything is alright…sleep…"
He remembered that's how he had seen a father patting his daughter once.
In her sleep, Mo Roulan heard the deep voice. It was hesitant and a little awkward as well as somewhat rigid …as if the person was unhabitual of saying such words. She would have gone back to sleep as the sound had already stopped.
However, the voice aroused her curiosity in her sleep and she opened one eye to peek at the person.
The beautiful face of He Jian instantly was in her sight making her breath hitch for a second.
Mo Roulan instantly opened both of her eyes and looked around the room in confusion.
'What happened?'
'Where was she?'
He Jian's hand was still on her forehead as he amusedly looked at all the interesting expressions Mo Roulan made during all this while.
This was the scene Fang Zhihan saw when he entered the room with Chu Feng.
His dear friend who had not let a single woman in his personal space had a girl six years younger than him lying on his bed.
Not only that, he also has this good smile on his face as he looked down at the girl …something that he had never seen before
He suddenly thought that his thought that He Jian was a monk was all an illusion.
In fact, he was the biggest scum out of all of them to lay his eyes on a girl who was so younger than him.
