Qiao Xi felt a little guilty. She was not good at lying. Every time she did, she would feel a burden, especially when she faced Xu Yi next time.
After Shen Yeyan's car exited the alley, it started to drive violently. Qiao Xi forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and pulled on his seat belt.
Li Ran was still sitting in the Shen family villa at night. Uncle Liu had just made him a cup of coffee and a car suddenly rushed into the courtyard. He immediately got up and went to take a look.
Shen Yeyan pushed open the car door and entered. Qiao Xi carried his bag as he walked slowly behind him. At first glance, he saw Li Ran standing on top of the steps.
Li Ran jogged over to her side, full of concern. "Miss Qiao, do you need a midnight snack?"
"No need, you're still not off yet?"
Li Ran nodded. How could he dare show his dissatisfaction on his face? Ever since Shen Ye An drove out with a dark expression, his heart had been in his throat. He originally thought that he was going out to drink, but who knew that this was the first time he saw someone specially pick up Miss Qiao.
He now had an extra sense of respect for Qiao Xi. He had to treat him well in the future.
"You should get off work. It's getting late."
"Alright, I'll leave now. I'll leave it to you, Mister Shen."
"Yes."
She did not plan to treat him tonight. After sending Li Ran off, she played with the kitten for a while before slowly going upstairs. Just as she was about to open the door, Shen Yeyan suddenly came out from the opposite room and leaned on the door with an expressionless face.
"Miss Qiao, let's begin tonight's treatment."
She looked at the wall clock. It was past eleven.
"It's getting late today. Mister Shen, you should go to bed early. We'll continue the treatment tomorrow."
"Who said that patients would have to cooperate with the doctor and require treatment every day?"
"…"
Qiao Xi had never expected that the angry words spoken during the quarrel would now smash his own foot.
Under the bright light, Shen Yeyan's eyes lit up as he looked at her with a smile. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. It sounded like he was mocking her, but also like he was teasing her.
"Does Miss Qiao not want to say that? "Since Miss Qiao wants to go back on her word, as a patient, I have nothing to say. After all, patients are at a disadvantage."
Faced with his accusation, Qiao Xi gritted his teeth. "Wait for me. I'll come right away."
Shen Ye An returned to his room in satisfaction. Qiao Xi put his bag down and washed his hands before heading over.
He had already sat down on the deck chair. Compared to the previous sessions, he was much more comfortable today. He smiled and slightly swayed his chair.
Qiao Xi sat on a small stool beside him with a notebook on her knees. Suddenly, she remembered her senior's suggestion and forcefully treated him.
"Mister Shen, what do you think if I forcefully treat you?"
Shen Ye An looked at her in confusion, while Qiao Xi quickly explained.
"Forced treatment means forced contact with a woman. It might allow you to cross the line in your heart."
She had just finished her explanation when he firmly rejected her.
"Miss Qiao, the method you mentioned has been tried by a psychiatrist. As a result, I was forced to stay in the hospital. Do you think you can succeed?"
"Sorry, I was inconsiderate."
Qiao Xi had never thought that someone had already tried it, that this road would not work.
She secretly encouraged herself in her heart. There would be a way.
"Mister Shen, if there are no problems, then we will begin the treatment."
"Let's begin."
The night was dark outside the window as moonlight poured in from the floor. With Shen Yeyan's lazy eyes half-closed, Qiao Xi started to speak.
She asked a few unimportant questions. Shen Yeyan patiently answered them one by one. Her questions gradually became more and more profound.
"Mr. Shen, how long has it been since you last saw your mother?"
"Is this related to my treatment?"
"A little. Please answer truthfully."
Shen Ye An looked out of the window. With a glimmer in his eyes, he replied, "I can't remember."
"I hope to see your mother more often, if circumstances permit."
After Qiao Xi finished speaking, Shen Yeyan had no reaction. She subconsciously looked over and saw a trace of mockery in his eyes. It made it even harder for her to see clearly.
Shen Ye An is the heir to the Shen family. Could it be that he doesn't have a good relationship with his mother? His father was dead and had been with his mother for many years.
"Mister Shen, you may find other women difficult to deal with, but it might be better if it was your mother."
"This road won't work if my mother isn't in the country."
"But …"
"Another method."
The atmosphere around him suddenly turned cold. It seemed like he didn't want to continue this topic. Qiao Xi pursed his lips and then talked about other issues.
Shen Ye's gaze fell on the pitch-black window. Beside his ears, he could hear a woman's soft voice. His face was relaxed, and his whole body was relaxed as he sat there. This was a state he had never faced a therapist before.
Before he could figure out the reason, the scene of Qiao Xi standing together with another man flashed through his mind. The hand that he held by his side slowly clenched, even his mood became violent, as if his entire body was about to erupt with anger.
After Qiao Xi asked the last question, he happily closed the notebook.
"Today's treatment will end here. Mister Shen, it's getting late. You should rest."
Qiao Xi was about to leave when he was suddenly called out to.
"Is that your boyfriend tonight?"
"Mister Shen, this is my private life."
"I also hope you don't bring your private life to work."
Qiao Xi looked at him and nodded. He had the nagging feeling that Shen Ye An was jealous of her. He couldn't fall in love and couldn't bear to see other people around him fall in love. She'd better be careful in the future.
She went back to her room and received a message from Xu Yicheng on her phone, "Xi Xi, let's have dinner together tomorrow night."
He didn't know what Shen Yeyan was planning for tomorrow night and didn't know the time yet.
[Sorry, I'm not sure about the time yet, I'll tell you tomorrow afternoon.]
Xu Yicheng looked at the text message and lost control of his emotions. He raised his hand to smash the cup beside him, then laid back on the sofa to take a deep breath.
[Xi Xi, you are so busy at work. Have you thought about finding a relaxing job? I can help?]
Qiao Xi scratched her head. Right now, her relationship with Xu Yicheng was only a little better than that of a stranger. She had not reached the point where she could accept him looking for a job.
[Thank you, Yicheng. I still like the job I'm doing.]
[Hmm, I feel like you are busier than I am. It is not easy to meet you.]
[Wait a little longer, it's getting late, you should get some rest]
In Xu Yicheng's eyes, Qiao Xi just didn't want to continue chatting with him. His heart was filled with longing for Qiao Xi, but he couldn't get the repayment he deserved. His chest was swelling with unwillingness.
