Chapter 357 The Silent Fight
No, actually she had asked this question to He Jian once …when He Jian had come to her apartment for the first time in this life.
But she had been very shocked at that time otherwise even she would never dare to ask him this.
And she knew it was the truth after she saw his cold and indifference He Jian looked after Shen Youlin's question.
Shen Youlin could not help but look at him in shock as she felt the surrounding temperature dropping. Even she was afraid of He Jian's cold and indifferent eyes. It could make anyone feel that they were nothing in front of him.
It made her feel insecure and frustrated and in that frustration, she couldn't help but say to him.
"Cool down, Man. Why are you going so cold all of a sudden?"
Mo Roulan would have laughed at Shen Youlin's words if she had not seen He Jian's face going colder.
She held Shen Youlin's hand and said to her in a low voice.
"Youlin, Mr. He has his three times meals here only. So, he is here for the breakfast at this time."
Shen Youlin frowned deeply and wanted to say more but Mo Roulan dragged her away from the door hurriedly before she could say anything.
"Mr. Hr, please come inside. Don't mind Youlin. She likes to joke around."
He Jian looked towards Shen Youlin and then he looked at Mo Roulan.
His eyes softened unconsciously at the sight of Mo Roulan but his cold words were for Shen Youlin.
"Then, Miss Shen needs to know that her jokes are not laughable at all."
"What the…"
Shen Youlin found He Jian's words a great insult. It was true actually. She likes to crack jokes and she used to do it in the rehab center also. With this talent of hers, she made a lot of friends there and she was quite proud of herself because of this.
How dare he insult her for this1
Shen Youlin almost raised her leg to kick He Jian but before she could do so, Mo Roulan immediately moved her behind herself with widened eyes. She sighed in relief seeing that He Jian had already turned around to go inside the dining room and he never saw Shen Youlin's actions.
"Youlin, have you gone crazy?"
Mo Roulan asked Shen Youlin in a low whisper but the sharp whispering clearly showed just how angry she was.
"What did I do wrong? He just insulted me. I …I want to punch him."
Mo Roulan held Shen Youlin's arms immediately and said firmly.
"Believe me, you won't be able to even touch him."
Shen Youlin pouted on hearing this and looked at Mo Roulan pitifully as she asked
"Do you not believe me?"
Mo Roulan didn't say anything in response to Shen Youlin's question and instead tried to divert Shen Youlin's attention.
"Mom had made your favorite today."
Sure enough, Shen Youlin's attention was diverted immediately. Good food was Shen Youlin's weakness and she immediately moved towards the dining room forgetting everything.
Mo Roulan shook her head as she walked towards the door to close it.
It was not that she didn't believe Shen Youlin. She just knew that He Jian would win without even touching Shen Youlin. He was very capable of protecting himself.

On the other hand, inside the dining room when Shen Youlin reached her eyes immediately went to the table.
"Auntie, did you make my favorite today?"
Shen Youlin walked towards the chair with a bright smile on her lips while Lin Qianru passed her the bowl of her favorite dish with a smile on her own lips.
"You need to go to college, Youlin?"
Lin Qianru asked Shen Youlin curiously. Mo Roulan had told her that for some reason, Shen Youlin couldn't give the last semester exams and hence she would need to repeat that whole semester.
Lin Qianru had been a little sad. It was nice for Mo Roulan to have a friend like Shen Youlin in the same class but her worries disappear when she saw that Shen Youlin was still very close to her daughter.
"Yes, Auntie."
Shen Youlin said politely then she suddenly looked towards He Jian who was busy in having his breakfast and she said sweetly.
"Auntie, I and Roulan would leave together. I will first drop Roulan at He Corporation and then leave for the college."
Lin Qianru raised her eyebrows as she didn't know what she should say. She looked towards He Jian and seeing that he didn't seem to have any problem so she also nodded her head and said
"Good"
Mo Roulan also stepped inside the dining room at the same time so she also heard whatever Shen Youlin said.
She also noticed that He Jian was silent.
This meant that he didn't have any problem, right?
Mo Roulan sighed in relief as she thought this. She also didn't feel right going with He Jian to He Corporation as it always made her feel afraid that someone would see them together. She remembered that the security guard was also looking at her carefully yesterday.
Though she knew that all this would help her in having an easy time at He Corporation, she didn't wish for it.
In her last life, she had gotten used to of having everything very easily under He Jian's shelter, and hence it took her a long time to leave that habit when she was alone and managed everything on her own.
Now also, she wanted to experience everything that a normal girl would experience in City H and that she could only do if people won't favor her just because she knew He Jian.
So she was very satisfied with going with Shen Youlin to He Corporation.
With a relieved heart and mind, she walked to her chair and had her breakfast.
No one noticed He Jian typing something on his phone and then putting it back inside his pocket as if nothing happened.
Of Course, he won't make it easy for Shen Youlin.
