"Cheng Yang said the truth."
Mo Roulan told Shen Youlin with an apologetic smile on her lips.
"I wanted to tell you but you didn’t pick up any of my calls and neither responded to my messages."
Mo Roulan said as she looked at Shen Youlin with narrowed eyes.
She didn’t notice Shen Youlin going stiff at her words. Shen Youlin stared at her blankly for a few moments before she smiled stiffly and asked again as if to confirm.
"You are dating him?"
Mo Roulan nodded her head but her eyes were still narrowed as she looked at Shen Youlin waiting for her to tell her where she was for the past few days.
However, instead of answering her question, Shen Youlin asked her
"Do you like him? You never told me about this. Are you sure, Roulan?"
Shen Youlin asked Mo Roulan with the same stiff smile on her lips but this time, Mo Roulan didn’t answer her question.
Shen Youlin understood that she was not going to get any answer this time until she would not answer Mo Roulan’s question so she told her the excuse she had prepared for her sudden disappearance
"Something came up and I had to go to Shen Mansion."
"Ohhh"
Mo Roulan whispered, Although she didn’t know the exact things between Shen Youlin and her family, she knew that Shen family was a very sensitive subject for Shen Youlin so she didn’t pry into this matter anymore.
Perhaps Shen Youlin was already aware that Mo Roulan would not ask her any questions after this excuse of hers and hence she chose such an excuse.
Whatever it was now it was Mo Roulan’s turn to answer Shen Youlin’s question and she told her honestly
"We have not told anyone else yet as we are just watching where it will go. No one in my family knows about it yet."
"Oh..."
Somewhere Shen Youlin felt warm inside her heart that Mo Roulan has not told anyone about this matter except her and at the same time, she felt relieved that they were just trying it out.
She still has a chance, right?
However, Mo Roulan’s next words diminished her hope to some extent.
"Youlin, I think that it was a good decision from my side. Cheng Yang is a nice guy...very considerate. I am hoping that it will turn out good for me...and him as well."
Mo Roulan told Shen Youlin everything she had been feeling inside her heart for the past few days ...something that she has not told anyone yet.
And Shen Youlin stiffened yet again.
It took her a few moments to find her voice again and she told Mo Roulan
"I will need to leave again."
"What? Right now?"
Mo Roulan asked as disappointment started to fill her eyes.
Shen Youlin would have been happy to see this scene at some other time but not right now. The sorrow of something else was just too much to cover up with the happiness of something else.
Mo Roulan already looked very positive about this relationship.
Though she loved this girl, she would never try to be manipulative and do something to break her and Cheng Yang apart.
It was only good that she maintain her distance for the time she would heal her broken heart.
Also, she needed to do one more thing.
"Yes."
She told Mo Roulan and then continued
"When I was down the building, I got a call from my sister. I didn’t want you to worry about me so I came once. But I need to leave right now."
Perhaps it was Shen Yiling’s mention but Mo Roulan no longer asked anything.
Shen Youlin left and everyone was already asleep.
So Mo Roulan went to her room to sleep keeping in her mind that tomorrow morning, she needs to check all the books in her brother’s room, Cheng Yang was talking about.
She was still confused about them.

On the other hand, Shen Youlin dialed Shen Yiling’s number on her phone. Her eyes were slightly red as she stepped out of the elevator.
There was no doubt that Shen Youlin was sad but according to her right now there was something more important to do than grieving over her broken heart.
"Hello"
Shen Yiling’s cold voice came from the other side.
Shen Youlin sniffed and told her
"Roulan is dating Cheng Yang so you can leave her alone."
"What?"
Shen Yiling’s surprised but joy-filled voice came from the other side.
"You are not lying, right?"
She asked Shen Youlin suspiciously.
"No, I am not. Do you want me to send some photos of them together?"
"No need."
Shen Yiling said as she chuckled.
"The way you sound right now is enough to make me believe and I will confirm in my own way."
Shen Youlin’s eyes were cold as she heard Shen Yiling mocking her but she didn’t say anything. After all, right now she knew that she didn’t have anything that could shut Shen Yiling’s mouth.
Instead, the latter has her darkest secret.
But she was not able to control her anger at all when Shen Yiling said
"Cheng Yang...from what I know, he is the heir of the Cheng Family. The Cheng Family has started to grow again. Ha...you see how immediately she got hold of some other rich boy when she came to know that she can’t get He Jian. Such a bi**h she is ...."
"Shen Yiling."
Shen Youlin interrupted Shen Yiling coldly.
"What...you are suddenly so daring to speak to me that way?"
Shen Yiling spoke coldly from the other side. Shen Youlin knew that another round of threats would start so she sighed heavily and spoke nonchalantly
"I am driving. I will talk to you later."
However, before cutting the call, she surely heard Shen Yiling saying mockingly
"Of Course, You also need to heal your lovesick heart...tsk!"
Shen Youlin’s heart was filled with anger. With a stuffy heart, she sat inside the car and started the car to the mansion in which she lived with Shen Weisheng.
However, she had just driven out of the building when her eyes started to go blurry and she had to stop the car.
Fresh tears rolled out and Shen Youlin cried inside her car like a child.
