Chapter 83 - Taking Cheng Yang Out
Chapter 83 – Taking Cheng Yang Out
City H welcomed a new morning. The sun was about to rise in the sky.
Trrrrrr…
The alarm clock placed beside the bed rang continuously. A hand came out of the blanket spread on the bed and put off the irritated ringing and then went back to its same place.
A few moments later, Mo Roulan uncovered her face as she lowered down the blanket.
She yawned as she got up from the bed while rubbing her open hair and opened the doors of the balcony.
Seeing the blue sky lit with the redness of the sun she smiled a little but suddenly heard a loud noise from somewhere.
She turned to look sideways following the loud sound and saw icy blue eyes fixed on her.
Ohhh ….not in the morning.
As if reading what she was thinking in her heart, those blue eyes narrowed at her making her heartbeat a little fast in nervousness.
Then the man stood up and picked his laptop not before giving her, his one of that cold and indifferent glance, exited the balcony of his apartment.
Mo Roulan looked at his disappearing back with a parted mouth.
'Why do I feel that he was sulking?'
She shook her head and laughed as if she had thought of a weird joke.
He Jian would sulk. Roulan, which world are you living in currently?
Putting her amusing and weird thoughts to rest, she looked back at the sky.
The morning sky was so beautiful, Mo Roulan thought.
Not knowing that a certain someone was still looking at her through the window of his balcony with a frown on his forehead.

As soon as the college ended, Mo Roulan took the bus and went to Cheng Mansion.
Fortunately, she didn't have many classes today. So she can comfortably take Cheng Yang to the event.
She touched the notebook in her backpack and smiled as she imagined what Mrs. Cheng's reaction would be seeing Cheng Yang's first improvement.
Although she forced him, the biggest thing was he really did it.
Approximately half an hour later, Mo Roulan was outside the Cheng Mansion.
She was panting when she stepped inside the mansion.
Without greeting the butler Wen, she asked him.
"Butler Wen, Where is Mrs. Cheng?"
Butler Wen was confused seeing her in hurry but answered
"Madam didn't come the whole day. She called and asked about master and then said that there is a very important meeting for some foreign project so she will not come today also."
Mo Roulan's lips were parted and dry when butler Wen finished his words.
Her eyes dimmed.
How will she take Cheng Yang out without Mrs. Cheng's permission?
Seeing her upset, the butler said asked
"Miss Mo, do you want to discuss something with Mrs. Cheng?"
"Yes" She whispered and then asked
"Can you call her?"
Although Mo Roulan felt that personally seeing the notebook would make Mrs. Cheng agree easily bit now she could at least try with whatever she has.
The butler hesitated but seeing Mo Roulan hopeful eyes relented and said
"Okay, I will do it right now."
However, the call didn't connect.
The butler tried again and a few moments later shook his head seeing Mo Roulan's expectant expression.
After trying two or three times, the call finally connected but it was Mrs. Cheng's secretary who picked the phone.
"Madam is busy and can't attend any phone call at this moment."
The secretary said and then hung up the call.
In the end, Mo Roulan walked towards Cheng Yang's room with slow steps.
She hesitated to open the door.
After a while, she composed her expression and thought.
She will talk to Cheng Yang and promise him that they will go out as soon as Mrs. Cheng will give them permission. There will be many other events in the coming days.
But when Mo Roulan opened the door she couldn't open her mouth to say the readied words.
In front of her, Cheng Yang was standing. Perhaps he had been standing there for too long while looking at the door.
'He must have been waiting for her.' Mo Roulan thought.
The guilt inside her heart surged more when she noticed that he was wearing different clothes showing that he especially got ready to go to the event with her.
When he saw her, he looked at her with blank eyes as if waiting for her to say that they should leave now.
No longer could Mo Roulan tell him that they were not going today.
Wouldn't it push Cheng Yang away if she did that? He will never trust her again and it could affect him mentally also.
A few moments later, she passed a small smile and whispered
"Let's go."

Sitting inside Cheng family's car, Mo Roulan clutched her bag and looked at Cheng Yang who was staring out of the window blankly.
She was feeling as if she was committing a crime. She was taking Cheng Yang out without Mrs. Cheng's permission.
Mo Roulan knew that it was dangerous but she didn't have any other choice.
It took her a long time to make butler Wen understand the circumstances. Butler Wen was afraid and refused in the beginning but she assured him again and again. She told him how this small thing can affect Cheng Yang's mind.
She showed him the notebook in which Cheng Yang had solved the questions. The old butler's eyes had dampened when he heard that his young master solved some questions. He couldn't understand them but knew that this was an improvement.
In the end, the old butler allowed her to go in Cheng family's car with Cheng Yang.
Mo Roulan assured the butler but now she was afraid.
She regretted her impulse of promising something to Cheng Yang. She should have first discussed it with Mrs. Cheng and then only she should have gone ahead and promised something.
But the deed was already done.
The only thing that she could do was to be careful and not let anything happen to Cheng Yang.
It was her responsibility to take him back to Cheng Mansion safely.
